Rd4 not answering phone calls

Post by Ard2dabone »

Hi all

Need help, my father's just got a 2011 5008, has what I think is an Rd4 radio with Bluetooth options and a steering wheel stalk with phone symbol on it.

I can get his Samsung S6 connected, shows phone symbol, signal bars and phone provider on radio screen. But it does not show incoming calls, can't answer calls, can't hear any call audio and can't stream any audio.

Seen on some YouTube videos when a phone is connected it shows up as an option under source (radio, aux 1, phone) but a source option of 'phone' doesn't come up.

Does it need to be enabled at dealers like the aux input?

Baffled what I'm missing here, any help appreciated.

The first thing is that we need to know whether you have an RD4 or RD45?
If the button to the right of the CD slot has the word "MUTE" on it, then it is an RD45.
We can also check with your VIN to determine which system was fitted at the factory.

Well I'm not in front of the radio. But I do not remember seeing a mute button and i'm 95% sure, so I believe its the RD4

With the RD4 there was the option of a Hands Free Kit before the RD45 came out with integrated Bluetooth. If you can supply us with your VIN (auto masked from public view on submission) as requested ^ we can ascertain if you had the hands free kit fitted at factory or not, which is an essential starting point really.

Not sure about posting the VIN. I'd say definitely no mute button.

Read my post - the VIN is masked. The pictures won't help me regarding a hands free kit which is why we need the VIN. The hands free kit if fitted will be hidden in the dash - hence the reason we ask for the the VIN.

Just type it out in full in a post leaving no spaces and submit your post, then it gets masked - which only the Admin team can see.
