Connecting Car Radio and Phone via Bluetooth

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Car stereo

Some car radios allow you to connect your mobile phone via a wireless Bluetooth connection to use the speakers as a hands-free system. To connect, you need to pair the phone with the radio using a password. This process is very simple: select the phone symbol in the radio menu, press the central button to start searching for a Bluetooth transmitter, and perform the same operation on your phone. When the two devices recognise each other, you need to enter a four-digit code on the phone and simultaneously the same code on the radio using the appropriate buttons. If the operation is correct, the two devices connect and remain connected, so that every time you enter the vehicle, the connection occurs automatically without further intervention.

How to Open the Key Battery of a Volkswagen Golf 7

How do you open the key fob of a Volkswagen Golf Series 7? Take your key fob and press the release button of the metal key; once the metal key pops out, use a screwdriver to pry between the two halves of the key fob (in the space where the metal key fits). Pry until the cover opens, then extract the worn battery with a small screwdriver. Get a new battery of the same size and voltage. Join the two parts: press the key fob case until you hear it click into place. Check the proper functioning of the key fob by operating the buttons.
