Hello,

 

I’ve recently bought the Mrs Monte Carlo tdi, which I’m pretty impressed with to be honest.

 

Anyway, im after a bit of advice after fitting an RNS 315. The version I have bought off ebay has Bluetooth and and dab. 

 

I've installed the radio, microphone and gps aerial (both new from eBay). Not bothered with dab aerial at the moment. The green plug on the microphone wouldn’t fit in the quad block so I removed the green plug and managed to get this to fit and placed the gps aerial behind the upper glove box.

 

The car has MFD but nothing has yet been coding via vcds. I was just looking at obdeleven but the iOS version is out of stock but that’s a different subject!

 

The advice I’m looking for is:

 

1. the Bluetooth works fine for streaming music and making calls and I can hear the caller through the speakers. However, the caller can not hear me talking. I’ve removed the plug on the quad block and turned this around, just in case I installed it wrong, but this still did not work? 

 

Is is this a coding issue or could it be a faulty mic? Or might this be something else?

 

2. The nav / gps does not appear to have located itself and this is showing the location of the car which it originally ate out of.

 

again is this a coding issue or could it be faulty aerial. I have read on the forum that someone had the same problem with the aerial and they replaced with a new one and this worked fine. Or might this be something else.

 

I appreciate that this has probably been covered plenty of times before but any advice on resolving these issues would be appreciated.

 

thanks Simon. 

 

 

Look in setup under nav and see if the GPS antenna is "seeing" satellites, normally they lock onto atleast 8 or 9.

 

Maybe try a factory reset ?

 

Microphone should "just" work......maybe it is a coding issue, to be honest you want the coding set correctly to ensure its not that and is faulty hardware.

Had no issues at all when fitting mine it all went plug and play. Have you attached the gps antenna to a piece of metal and as daft as it sounds I never bought a microphone attachment with mine, I honestly thought it had a built in mic as mine all works fine?

I’ll have a look at the nav settings cheers. The gps did however appear to have found itself when I drove earlier today. The Mrs drove it after me and said it didn’t work? I’ll have to have another go. 

 

The gps aerial is stuck to the round metal bar behind the dash. 

 

Yeah, I bought a mic and fitted it in the space in the interior light.
