XDA Orbit 2 connection to VW premium hands free

[warn_rgw]

Hello,

I was hoping that somebody may have had the same problem and could help me out.

I have a VW Passat fitted with the premium bluetooth hands free kit, I have also taken delivery of an Orbit 2. I thought the connection would be OK as the orbit 2 supports RSAP profile. However I cannot get the phone to connect. The car kit sees the phone, I input the 16 digit into the phone generated by the car kit, and the car kit then asks if I want to connect the phone, I press OK and then the car kit display shows initialising phone, then connecting phone, but then just loops between these two messages. The orbit 2 shows that it is connected, but there is no connection to the car kit. The car kit is OK as it pairs with my Nokia E51 which runs the RSAP profile for connection.

Any ideas? Any help would be fantastic as I would like to keep the phone if possible.

I have an Orbit 2 and a Passat with the premium kit.

When the car gives the message that it is initailising the phone, on the phone, go into Comm Manager, Settings, Bluetooth, then Sim Access. In Sim Access try tapping "Disconnect from Carkit" and then select yes. Close the Sim Access page.

On my car this usually allows the pairing to complete.

Unfortunately I usually have to do this every time I wnat to connect the phone to the car, unlike my Nokia phone which pairs seamlessly.

Hope this helps?
