NOTE: The device name of the IMIB is: IMIB XXXXX (XXXXX = serial number of IMIB)

If the device name of the IMIB is shown in the list of connected Bluetooth devices on the vehicle's control display (if available), then the Bluetooth functionality is OK. The Bluetooth components in the vehicle are working properly.

NOTE: If the Bluetooth test was not successful, carry out the test again with the IMIB held close to the Bluetooth control unit (ULF, TCU, Combox, headunit or radio, depending on vehicle equipment). If the vehicle is found when the Bluetooth test is performed near the control unit, then the fault is most likely due to the Bluetooth antenna cable connector on the control unit. In this case, continue the troubleshooting there.

Important Limited connection time!

In the case of a timeout during while establishing a connection or transmitting the Bluetooth passkey, the connection is automatically interrupted after approx. 30 seconds. A message then appears on the IMIB display.
