silver Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) My 55 plate 350z has factory fitted hands free phone facility but my Samsung phone will not connect to it despite being bluetooth paired. I've been to Nissan to see if there is a softwear update for the unit fitted but thts a No. Anyone have any suggestion please.

Sim Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I hate to break it to you but I had one in 2005 with the adaptor and in about 2008 swapped phones and couldn't get me new phone to pair, so ended up keeping the old phone in the car and swapping the Sim on long runs. I think your only other option is to replace the stereo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 IIRC Samsung (if not wider Android) changed the bluetooth protocols around the S6/7 (ish) and it's not compatible with the module. I seem to recall someone reached out to Nissan and Samsung, neither were at all interested in fixing it, so the only fix is an older Samsung, an iPhone or a new head unit/handsfree device. Or ditch all your friends so that no one calls you - at least no one you're interested in talking to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Think it had more of an issue with it being Samsung. Back in 2016 I had a phone with Android 7 and it worked fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thanks everyone, found my old phone that did work hidden in a cupboard so sim switch may be in order on long journeys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
