Ford Ikon Bluetooth Pairing Issue

I understand you are experiencing issues with the smartphone connectivity in your 2009 Ford Ikon diesel. The error stored in memory suggests a potential fault with the pairing process. Have you attempted to clear the existing pairings from the vehicle's system and then re-establish the connection with your smartphone? Furthermore, have you verified that your smartphone's operating system is compatible with the vehicle's infotainment system? An outdated operating system could potentially lead to such connectivity problems.

Yes, I've tried clearing all the pairings multiple times, and also tried with several different phones. My phone OS is current. Is there any specific module or fuse I should be checking that might be related to the Bluetooth or connectivity functions? I'm trying to avoid a costly visit to the shop if it's something simple.

Given that you have already attempted to clear the pairings and keep your smartphone's operating system current, and the issue persists across multiple devices, it is plausible that there is a deeper issue within the vehicle's infotainment system or associated wiring. While I cannot provide specific diagnostic guidance without physically inspecting the vehicle, I would recommend consulting a qualified technician. Based on the symptoms and error memory, a diagnostic procedure and eventual repair will cost around 45€.

Thank you for the information. I appreciate you confirming that it's likely beyond a simple fix. I'll book an appointment with the service. Turns out to be the Bluetooth module needed a reset and a software refresh. The 45€ was spot on!
