In-car bluetooth issue

[karlhinze]

Hi. I'm having problems using the bluetooth in my car to make calls using my Xperia Z1. I can pair the devices, but when I enter a phone number and press Dial, it just says Dialling Failed. Also, when someone calls me, It shows on screen and gives me the option to Answer or Decline. However, when I choose Answer, nothing happens and the phone keeps on ringing. My previous Android phone worked fine, as does an IPhone 5. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Karl

Oh.. You need flashtool.. Don't know if there is a version for the Mac... As I am a windows junkie! You have to power your phone off in the normal way by holding the power button then leave it for 30 seconds or so.. Run flashtool without the phone connected and select the ftf to flash.. It will prompt you to connect the phone when it's ready.. Then press the down volume button and insert the use cable at the same time.. I think that's what I did.. Not at home till the weekend so not in front of my pc...

I suppose it is better to accept calls from the car's icon buttons itself rather than from the phone. I accept calls from the car not from the phone itself, and if I'm playing music via bluetooth, it will stop playing music then after a call it will start playing music again.
