I haven't had much chance to use it yet but will be interesting to see how good it is. In my previous car I used to have a seperate BT adapter on the sun visor which worked really well but was a pain to keep removing and didn't integrate with any car controls or mute the radio etc. A work colleague has a Z4 and his in-car BT sounds terrible. Can hardly hear him over the engine and sat-nav system. David

If the dealer advertised the car as having bluetooth connectivity then they should have ensured the adaper was there for the purpose, remember it is the adapter that provides that function not the cradle or anything else in the car. Mike: This seems to be an increasingly common issue. May I suggest a warning sticky in the FAQ's, or wherever you think appropriate, so that others are pre-warned? done Excellent suggestion, thanks for doing that. Just as an update, in the end I bought the BT adapter from MJP for £75, along with a set of official 350Z front mats. Also fitted an Ice-Link FM Modulator iPod kit and cradle today with the help of the quide on this site. Would probably not have been able to do it without the guide. David

As per subject, I am looking for the KE283-CDBT0 Bluetooth Adapter for use in my shiny new 350Z! David EDIT - Bit hasty with my post! I have now found one for a very reasonable price!

Cheers guys, much appreciated.

Well, I spoke to the dealer and they are claiming that the BT adapter is purchased seperately but the car is 'prepped' for hands-free. They are saying the owner then has the option of buying a cradle compatible with their phone OR the BT adapter. Many thanks to all who replied to my question and provided links to the manuals etc. David

Thanks for the advice. If they did remove it, i'm guessing they removed the manual as well to cover their tracks (I mean the small BT manual as per a link in a previous reply)! Seeing as I mentioned the handsfree during the test drive, they definately said it was included, they just weren't sure what functions I would get! I'll double-check, you're probably right. I just got caught up in the instructions in the nav guide rather than the main handbook. Thanks again. I'll post something to let you know how I get on with the dealer!! David

Hi I just found that as well. No, I don't think so. Does this fit on the cradle I have fitted in the glove/storage box between the seats? David yes that is the bluetooth adapter Regarding the above post, before I approach the dealer, should this have been supplied with my car do you think? YES, NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT I am happy to purchase it seperately if it isn't but if its been removed when it shouldn't have been, thats a different matter! (DEALER SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU) With this Bluetooth adapter, what functionality do I get? Presumably the steering controls, microphone and speaker. What about voice dialing and/or phone book options? YES TO ALL - PRESUME YOU HAVE THE HANDBOOK THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL (AND AS POSTED BY OTHERS) Are the navigation based phone controls in the manual only for other Nissan models? WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THE IDEA THE NAVIGATION AND PHONE CONTROLS ARE LINKED - SEE RESPONSES BY OTHERS ABOVE? Sorry, lots of quesions!! Many thanks, David Hi Ebized. Thanks for your reply. In that case I shall be phoning the dealer tomorrow! No doubt they will claim it wasn't there when they bought it from the seller. My reason for linking the nav and the phone (and the questions about the phone book etc.) are that my Navigation manual I have been given is the only manual I have that mentions the bluetooth or handsfree telephone and it details configuration and access via the navigation screen. It says to access all the options by going to Settings - Phone .... etc. David

Thought it may be easier if I post a quick picture of what I have (see attached). Looks like I don't have the BT adapter so the only question is whether I 'should' have had one included and its been removed or whether I just need to buy one. I've had a very quick look at the PDFs in the above post (many thanks for those).

Welcome from me too and if you havn't got one of the adapter's go back to the dealer and insist he provides it to you - they were standard fitting on 56 ZEDS and a lot get taken out and sold separately for upwards of £75 Where are you based? - only that I saw a black 56 plate ZED this afternoon heading towards Wilsons in Epsom. Hi, thanks. Don't think it was me. I live in West Sussex but bought the 350Z from Veloces of London in Barnet. David

Hi My first post! I have just taken posession of my new pride and joy, a 2006 56reg 350Z with GT Pack and Sat-Nav, metallic black coupe. I have done a few searches regarding my question but am not sure I've found what I am looking for. I have the hand-free mobile phone buttons on the steering wheel and the Navigation manual I have been given details setting this up using Bluetooth via the Nav screen. However, I don't have the Phone option on my Navigation screen. I appear to have what looks like a microphone or speaker just above the rear-view mirror but in one of the storage locations between the seats, I seem to have what looks like a mobile cradle of some kind, although I can't see the connectors, just a cable going out the back. Does this mean the car isn't equiped with bluetooth hands-free or am I missing something? If it isn't there, can I have this fitted fairly easily? Any chance it just needs enabling? Cheers, David EDIT - I have found this thread http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... fa70443946 and I definately have the cradle looking item in the picture but I don't know about the other adapter next to it.
