How to reset your VW Bluetooth module

Here is how to reset your Bluetooth module in case you have an issue.

Oh my gosh. My only complaint is that I didn’t find this earlier! The VW dealer tried to charge me $500 to fix the problem. This video did it! Thank you so much for sharing.

I did not find anything under the seat. Where else should i look ??

What a save !!!! I haven’t had music in my car for the past 5 years hahaha. I’ve had this car since 2015 and we are in 2021 and finally I can connect my phone to the Bluetooth. Thank you so much my guy.

Awesome! Just saved me a lot of aggravation and a trip to the dealership. I could not understand why all of a sudden the phone display on my 2012 Jetta Highline stopped showing up and only the sound system was getting muted. I was already thinking that I would have to choose between not having a hands-free phone system or having to pay a few hundred dollars at my dealership to have it fixed. This worked beautifully! Thank you for posting it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I've been struggling to figure out why the bluetooth just quit working one day. Thank you!

I think mine stopped after all the rain and cold weather we’ve had in the UK lately. Tried this and it’s back far so good. Thank you.

It worked like a charm- you are a genius, it was under the driver's seat in our model but we drive on left-hand side of the road in our country. Thanks for being a superhero!

This is without a doubt the most helpful video I have ever found on YouTube

Followup note 2024. In a Skoda Superb MY2011 (Australia) the relevant box is on the floor, bolted to the floor, under the driver seat (RIGHT SIDE). Just remove the plastic cover (which may be a little difficult until you see how it works). No need to unbolt the box. The clip looks and works the same.
I did this with the ignition OFF. After making certain there was no dirt/rubbish in the connector and then doing the connection I let the system "think" for some time (ignition OFF). At the same time I wiped any previous bluetooth pair from my mobile. THEN later - Ignition ON and select phone in the MFD (display in front of the steering wheel). Should say there is no connection and ask to find a phone. Just follow the prompts and watch for the prompt on your phone for the code to enter there.
It worked! I suspect some of the secret is the old IT trick - turn it off - WAIT - turn it on. Where WAIT might need to be a while.

This worked like s charm as my 2014 VW Passat's Bluetooth wasn't working. After watching video, took less than 5 minutes. Thanks for allowing me to avoid the headache of scheduling a visit to the dealership.

DUDE! Your video is still helping people out. Thank you so much.

[marklitherland]

Thanks, it worked for me.

Just a note that the box is under the driver's seat on right hand drive cars.

Also, I needed to disconnect the box, switch the ignition back on then off, then reconnect the box before it would work for me.

Had to leave like for this miracle of a video. I was about to go apes*** cuz Bluetooth would not let me in even tho I was already connected to the car. You sir are one in a mill.

[bleachey]

Oh my god this fixed my issue thanks so much!!! Started my car up this morning and the phone option wasn't working, was simply switching volume off instead, looking for the HUD there was no phone option, like you've just shown in the video. Did a little digging to find out it was the bluetooth module and not the RNS 315, then found your youtube video. Just tried it out and....IT WORKED!!! Saved me loads of hassle thanks very much!

[davidjones]

Worked like a charm! And in less than a 2 minute vid. Awesome thx!!!!

I have a 2010 Tiguan Wolfsburg...

[CPBplanning]

I can’t believe I fixed the BT iss this fast on my VW Passat 2014 Wolfsburg edition. Saved my wallet!!!

[damonblue]

THanks! This worked perfectly on my 2012 Passat. What I'd like to know is HOW the phone menu got disabled in the first place, the one time my wife drives my car? Anyway, thanks for the fix!

[rayyespinosa]

So if this doesn't work what would be next to try before taking it to the dealer and engine on or off??
