Bluetooth Woes

[Buzz Killington]

Hi,

I recently had to wipe my phone due to my screen breaking.

When I went to connect my phone to my 2010 V12 vantage again my phone does not see the car. The car does see my phone.

Anyone had anything like this?

I have tried other phones and they connect fine (generally older than my pixel 6 pro)

I have tried a factory reset. Tried changing various settings as recommended by YouTube in developer settings.

It's driving me potty. I've got a trip coming up in September and it would be nice to have it working by then.

Thanks in advance.

Is the car in discoverable mode?
Have you removed the phone details from the car entirely and repaired it?

Yes. Did that. The car is in add new phone mode, asks you to press enter. I did. It then sees my phone. I click on that. Then it says put code 1234 into phone but the phone does not see the car at all.

If I try with another phone it works fine. It's clearly the phone rather than the car.

The phone connects to my other cars (all newer) and other BT devices.

That’s really bloody odd tbh.

[Buzz Killington]

Yep.

Think it's my phone tbh.

Use to be a problem on early cars. This was the fix

Some people have had problems pairing the 4 / 5 iPhone, especially on early cars, but will work:-

Put the iphone Bluetooth into search mode.
Tell the car - Pair phone
Car tells you to put phone into search mode and then type 1 2 3 4 as the bluetooth code.
Phone will see the car - will list as Aston Martin. Put code in
It will then fail! Car says pairing failed.
But you now have the iphone recognising the Aston Martin bluetooth, so on the phone, select "Aston Martin" on the bluetooth menu. It will bring up the boxes to put in the passcode. Put in 1 2 3 4, but do NOT press pair on the phone yet.
Tell the car - pair phone. Then immediatley press the Pair button (top right) on the phone.
Should then pair straght away.
Checked and phone is always then recognised on startup
