    What should come with the GT to enable Bluetooth?

    in I.C.E & Electronics

    Posted

    If it's a GT it should have buttons on the steering wheel to control the phone and cruise control.

     

    In the arm rest should be a cradle into which sits a bluetooth adapter instead of your phone.

     

    If it's not there put your foot down and demand it as it's part of the GT package.

     

    err, just a slight caveat or two to the above - if the ZED you are buying is a pre 06 model it would not be bluetooth enabled. If it is an import then it is unlikley to have any phone fitting in place - as GC350Z says above, the give away is the absence of phone buttons on the steering wheel and that also applies to all roadsters.

     

    If the car does have the buttons on the steering wheel the 'cradle' is two parts. For pre 06 cars there is base (fixed to the floor under the 'armrest') with wires entering it at the back that carries the actual cradle to hold what are now rather obsolete mobiles There were a choice of cradles to suite phones as follows:

     

     

    Ericsson

     

    T68, T68i

     

    Nokia

     

    7250, 7210, 6610, 6100

     

    Nokia

     

    7250(i), 6220

     

    Nokia

     

    6310i, 6310, 6210

     

    Siemens

     

    C45, S45, S45i, ME45, M50, MT50

     

    Siemens

     

    C55, S55

     

    Quite often with s/h puchases the 'cradle' that actually carries one of the above phones is not in the car. Should you want one to suit one of those vintage phones post a 'wanted' thread otherwise be prepared to pay mega bucks from NISSAN.

     

    If the car is 06 and later it should be bluetooth enabled. Same principle applies in terms of the two piece cradle except that a unit clips ont onto the wired base (about the size of a small mobile phone) and has an orange/red indicator light. If your phone is bluetooth all you need to do is 'pair' it with the car and hey presto it should work. Some bluetooth phones do not seem to work to well, or at all, owners have experienced different outcomes, but if you do a search on this site there is a (long) list of compatible phones. Mike, one of our moderators (MYK) has provided this.

     

    Good luck and oh by the way phone or no phone once you are behind the wheel there will lots of :teeth: s

     

    edit :blush: I see by the time I wrote the above others have got in - no doubt some pics will pop up soon :thumbs:

     

    it's a 54 plate so clearly isn't going to be much point in me exploring this, that explains why the previous owner had a cradle glued to the underside of the steering wheel. Oh well, I'm not a rep so doesn't really matter to me :D

     

    iPod support on the other hand.......!!!!!!

    Oh it has the buttons on the steering wheel all right, and in the arm rest looks like *part* of a cradle, it was hard to tell - but this is precisely why I'm asking so thanks for the clarification! So the adapter should also be part of the standard package?

    Sorry to start a whole new thread on this but I need to figure out what to ask my dealer to address before taking delivery of my second hand 350z next week.

     

    We saw two different GTs, one appeared to have a little cradle in the arm rest, but the one I'm buying doesn't. (there's glue residue under the steering wheel where something appears to have been attached).

     

    I just want to make absolutely sure there's nothing missing from the car which is required for pairing, can anyone confirm if these are extras / accessories?

     

    Thanks!

    How much have you spent on your Z?

    It costs £70 to fill up...?

     

    It costs me at least £60 - £70 and I never leave it till nearly empty. Can't risk running out. . . But then again it does cost about £1.05 per litre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant::angry:

    So if it does 25mpg that's 500 miles a tank..?

    Help me find a 350!

    on the new model car they come as standard but when your car was new they'd have been about a grand extra!!

    ooh, nice :D Such a n00b, I hadn't really paid attention to the wheels talk. To be honest before I went out yesterday I thought I might not want the GT, but as soon as I'd seen it and then saw one without I knew. The final one having nice wheels (and parking assist) was just irresistable!

    1538€ on a Nismo exhaust

    and some nickels and pennies on a stubby areal and cargo net

     

    There is one mod which keeps costing me money however. I try increasing the weight of the car by filling it up with petrol. But no matter how much I put in at some point all of it is gone and I have to start all over again :rant: Most expensive mod so far :rant:

     

    :lol::lol: yes, trying to ignore that one. Each mod = 1 tank of petro to test so add £70 per mod :surrender:

    Service plan question

    in 350Z General

    Hi

     

    I read about this in the FAQ but am a little confused if it's something that Nissan dealer will offer even if you don't buy the car through them..

     

    As I understand it, it's a way of guaranteeing the costs of a service plan over three years.

     

    Thing is I'm unlikely to find the car I want through a Nissan dealer. I spoke to Antelope in Banbury who seemed to think they would but wanted the chassis number...

     

    Anyone advise? It's a big part of whether I decide to take the car or not.
