Samsung Galaxy and Tiguan Bluetooth

[sammy_s]

Is anyone else having trouble with the Samsung Galaxy Bluetooth and Tiguan 2011? I have a factory fitted unit and the galaxy sometimes connects (sometimes not) and when it does, often you cant make calls and when receiving calls, they do not get routed through the car bluetooth?

I am putting this down to the galaxy as I also have a Nokia and it has no problems at all. I have updated the galaxy firmware to Froyo (original firmware 2.1 would not even connect to the tiguan) hoping this would fix it but no luck.

Not sure what else to try?

Hey sammy,

Exact same issue for me. my samsung rarely talks properly to the golf bluetooth. from what I have read its due to the bluetooth protocol the vw's use, its some old nokia one.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that my gf's iphone works perfectly...

sorry I don't have a solution apart from buy a new phone

Yeah i found it favours iphone/nokia. I have an LG and it wont connect properly.

It could also be related to Android OS.

I've got a Motorola Defy which runs android and it has worked fine with my MY11 tiguan & factory fitted Bluetooth. both firmware v2.1 & v2.2

I have a GS2 runs perfectly with new Tiguan RNS 510 and bluetooth, either the MDF display or the RNS display. What Firmware are you running on the GS2, I run 2.3.3? Do you have any other devices in the car which pair or can pair with your phone? Is your GF's phone running bluetooth at the same time? From the MDF screen when it does not conenct is it searchable?

I recent installed the 9W7 bluetooth and it pairs with a Samsung Galaxy Ace (os2.2) and HTC Incredible (os2.3). 99% of the time, but every now and again the Samsung, would connect but you could not hear anyone and the HTC just wont connect. In both cases, switching the phones off and or switching the car on and off, works in reconnecting the phones properly.

I get the same issues with my Galaxy S. I have Froyo and sometimes after being connected for a while it will decide it no longer wants to be connected and will revert back to only working from the phone itself. Super annoying when on long trips!! I don't know what to do to fix it so I just deal with it.

Peteaussi when this happens is the phone searchable through the MDF display?

In my case, the Samsung Galaxy Ace, would drop out in certain areas, and while it was still visible in the MFD, it would not reconnect, unless I turned the engine off (switching off the bt module). The HTC doesn't drop out, it just doesn't connect in the first instance.

Also on the MFD, I only get the bluetooth symbol, and blank squares. no battery strength or audio, although the phones will stream music.
