Smartphone and GPS connection failure in the Opel Insignia 2010

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2013 Opel Astra. My smartphone could not be paired with the car either, but after some troubleshooting the error was found. The experts at the garage determined that the problem was in the car's software. It was necessary to update the entire software so that my smartphone was recognized and GPS worked again. It wasn't a really serious problem, although I have to admit that it was quite inconvenient to have to do without my sat nav. Although it's not a quick fix, it's definitely something that can and should be fixed to ensure your car doesn't have these issues again. I would recommend you take the car to a reputable garage and get them to carry out a full software update. Good luck with that! Have a great day!

Hello, thank you for your answer. That sounds like a realistic solution. Do you happen to remember how much the software update cost you? And have you experienced anything else similar since then or was that the only connectivity issue? Thank you in advance and have a nice day! Best regards!

Hey, sure, I can tell you. So, the whole thing with the faulty connection to the end device cost me €45. It's not that much, but as you know, everything adds up. And since the workshop visit, it's been working really well, so the functional restrictions in connectivity really are history. No more problems have arisen. So, don't worry too much, it's probably just a software thing that needs to be fixed. Hope this helps you! Best regards!
