    Basically my golf has a nokia bluetooth kit one of the standard kits I have had it in both previous cars and always found them grand. However this one doesn't work. The problem is it's not getting power doesn't come on. Are these fused or how do they normally get there power ? I only want to connect over bluetooth I don't need the cradle. Anyone any ideas were to start trouble shooting thanks. Or where all the speaker connector box would be ?

    Here's a photo of the kit:

    It has inline fuses alright. They have a constant and switched power like a car stereo.

    Right the fuse may be he issue or it could be a bad loss connection. I know in the focus all the wires just ran to a central box that was located behind the panel at your leg when your driving. I may go investigating at the weekend. I rarely use my phone in the car but it's handy when someone rings.

    Are you sure it is a bluetooth kit and not the older phone extention type kit? Does the cradle have he plug for charging the phone? If so it probably is not a bluetooth kit.

    Them kits do both. I've had them in previous cars the exact same kit. They will charge/ work through cradle or over bluetooth with the little button.

    Yep that's the kit alright I couldn't think of the name. It normally beep after a minute or so when you start the car or the blue light comes on and it's doing neither so it has to be a power issue.

    Can you stick a phone in the cradle?

    I might try that all right. Although I don't think we have any of them phones with the pins on the end that would connect to the lead but I'll have a look.

    When you say the power doesn't come on, does the white light come on when you press the button?

    There's a perminant feed and a switched feed, many don't connect the switch feed in the golf as there's no switched feed that's easy to get to. The radio just has a perminant feed on these.

    Also check the fuse box on the rhs of the dash to see if any wires have been bodged in there. Then I'd slide out the radio and see what the story is with it.

    Ah right I wasn't sure what way the feeds were. The light isn't coming in at all and it wont make any noises or anything like they normally do. I'll check the fuse board and then if nothing looks a miss there I'll look at behind the radio.

    Yea just fitted a ck7 in a golf at the weekend. There's a big void below the radio, I'd bet it's down there.

    I needed to run a wire back to the fuse box on the rhs of the dash to pick up a switched feed so the kit powers up and down correctly.

    Thanks a million for that info. Is it a big job to take out the radio on these I've never had it out.

    Nah its fine, youtube has lots of videos. Take the rubber mat out of the top tray and there's 2 torx's screws in there. Then the tray will pull up. Then the top vents will pull up. You'll see 2 more torx's above the radio which hole the bezel around it, take these out. Then there's 4 torxs which hole the radio in place.

    so yea once you have a torx bit you'll be grand :)

    It was obviously wired in a weird way they got the feed for the phone kit of the lights which wouldn't make any sense. Anyway I'll look at the fuse board first then behind the radio. hopefully the problem is in the fuse board either way it should be to hard to find hopefully.
