Hello again,
I've got a 60-plate, Mk4, Mondeo.
It has a module that allows your mobile phone to connect to the radio
via blue tooth. I have used it in the past to receive calls. The same
module also does the voice control for the car; I have not used that
much; I only know the command to change the temperature of the air
conditioning!
Everything was working at the weekend. Then on Monday one of the
headlamps blew again (it seems to happen too often imho). I do not
know if this is a coincidence, but that is the only thing that has
changed since.
On Tuesday I found the bluetooth will not work. My phone says it is
paired with the car but the radio does not mute the station and switch
to the phone's audio.
At first, I thought it was the phone, so I unpaired the phone and
tried to re-pair it. It "sees" the car and the car radio prompts me to
enter a pin on my phone, so the module is half working. However, when
I enter the pin, the phone says the pin is wrong and the radio
displays a new pin and the cycle repeats.
If I try to press the button for voice commands, nothing happens, so I
now think it is the module.
Could a voltage spike from the headlamp blowing have damaged the
module or is this just a coincidence?
Are there any fuses going to the module? I am guessing not; I am
supposing it shares the radio feed? If there was a way to power it
down and back on again, I'm wondering if that would reset it?
is there anyone who repairs these or would they just through this one
away and put a new one in? I'm guessing they are not cheap?
Thanks,
Stephen.

button in for ten seconds is supposedly a way to reset things:
