What does the bluetooth module activation actually do? I just installed a bluetooth module and it worked.....I didn't need to activate anything.

 

Hi, Can I ask you how did you do it? Becouse I´m trying to install it on my Lancer 08, but I have a few doubts about the connection. I saw that the steering column is pre-wired for something, but I don´t know if that connector is for the buttons of the hands-free module or the paddle shift.

Thanks!

 

As I understand it, it is just a toggle to let the ecu know it is there - as per these mut-3 instructions:

From 2008 onwards that was pre-set to on, but before then for stability reasons had to be turned off if the btm was not present. So I read somewhere.

I have the opposite problem in that my module is installed, and I'm guessing has never been activated. I'm hoping getting it activated will be enough to make it work.

 

Maurus10 - this vid shows how to install the module

 

Fantistic video. This is another great example of what makes the internet such a tremendous resource for automotive DIY novices who don't want to get hosed at stealerships.

 

That's the video I followed to install mine. I did it right in the dealer parking lot. Mine worked right out of the box. I didn't have to program anything. Still works great.

 

I looked at the owners manual and found some info on pairing my phone. Never had trouble with my Kia but Mitsubishi seems more complex. I pressed the talk button, said 'pairing' and a VW BT FO51 appears in my phone, I click that assuming it's my car but it just turns and turns, doesn't seem to want to connect. Has anyone else figured out how to pair your phone??

P.S. also a 2008 Lancer 😊
