Problem "Enabling Bluetooth" on nuvi 360 Hello guys,I bought Nuvi 360 couple of months ago and configured bluetooth on my 360 to work with my Sony Ericsson phone. It was working just fine and I was able to dial out and recieve calls while driving using my GPS but just couple of days ago the bluetooth functionality stopped working.Here's what happens:When I click on the settings->Blutooth-> I see the "Bluetooth" option as "Disabled". So, I click on it to enable it but then the screen freezes and the a message pops up saying "Enabling Bluetooth". This message just stays there forever. I had to switch-off the GPS to make the GPS work again.I even tried resetting the GPS using that small button at the back of the GPS but when I again try to "enable" the Bluetooth option it behaves the same way. There is no other problem with the GPS.Did anybody else face this probelm? If yes, do you know how to resolve this?

Thanks!!!! I recently had the same "disconnected" problem; Garmin support took me through an upgrade and I was fixed for about a week before it returned. Since I didn't have a chnce to contact them during Support hours, I went online, and your excerpt from the longer fix above worked for me, too!! Just hope it stays fixed this time.

This solution did not work for me on my 780. When I contacted tech support they told me to return my unit.

Actually this unfortunately didn't work for me. However it did work by replacing the GCD file with an older version. It seems that with my Nuvi 360 the latest Bluetooth software (version 3.1) is still causing the freezing issue. I called up garmin and a representative gave me the same instructions, with old bluetooth GCD versions attached. For me only version 2.4 worked. So if you are having trouble, ring up Garmin and ask for version 2.4.

I just discovered this problem on my nuvi 360. Do you have a copy of version 2.4 you can e-mail me? I would appreciate that very much.Roy

Thanks for this.Steps 2-5 worked for me when I was in a continual loop of connection and disconnection with my Razr v3. The phone had worked perfectly with the Nuvi 360 for about a month, but it then started to continually connect and disconnect, with the phone constantly 'seeking' the nuvi. I tried a 2nd phone to make sure the problem was with the Nuvi.I already tried factory resets and had the latest firmware on the Nuvi so the web updater didn't help. Going through the engineering screen and reinstalling the bluetooth firmware seems to have worked. Seems like a bug and reinstalling the bluetooth firmware on the Nuvi clears it.I'm otherwise really happy with the 360 so I'm glad this was a relatively simple fix.

It didn't solve my problem unluckily. I contacted Garmin via their web site for a previous software version request though. I should say the bluetooth function worked flawlessly with my Nokia 6265 prior to the latest software WebUpdated.

Follow Jon's answer . Turn your Bluetooth on and off and same with your headset. It worked for me. Marc

Hi, Try this: First make sure that the bluetooth headset is OFF. Then When the bluetooth is off. try pressing the middle button and keep holding it. first the light will turn on flashing. keep ur finger pressed even after that. after like 5-10 more seconds it should become a flashing red & blue light then try to pair it with the cell phone. If your phone asks you for a passcode then enter fours zeros (0000). Let me know how it goes. Thanks... Isaac @ BluetoothPlus

I was unable to get the sony headset to work as a Bluetooth player with my bluedio headphones but it works excellent to send music from another Bluetooth device e.g. like a phone to my sony noise canceling headphones which I attach it to. It also works great as a wired player to non-Bluetooth headphones by playing music on the micro sd card. I wish it could work as a bt player to bt headphones but I think it is a receiver and not a transmitter for sounds and that is why it cannot broadcast TO bt headphones on its own but can act as a receiver of other devices transmitting over bt. Hope this helps. It is an awesome device.

You go into 'settings', scroll down to 'connectivity'. Bluetooth is the 3rd one down and if it reads 'on' just touch it and wait - the 'on' will turn to 'off' and that's it. Come out of 'settings' and you should be ok. If that is not holding, then you may have to have the cell checked. Good luck!!

Hi Hasan, Dumb question, did you charge the cradle first? You can tell if it has a change by turning it to GPS and touching the button below it. If the blue lights come on you are good to go. If not, switch it to Battery and charge it for a few hours. This is not a BT device, so there is no need to search for it. You should be able to attach your touch to it, turn it to GPS, and then launch your GPS software. I had one for my 4th gen touch and it worked great with the Garmin driving software... until iOS6 came out. Once I upgraded to iOS6, it wouldn't work. I got frustrated with it, and since I was due for a new phone, I went Android with a built in GPS. I really think that iOS is the issue, as mine was great until then. But like I said, I gave up after playing with it for about 3 hours. I suggest you contact Dual if nothing else works. James

I had this exact problem with other BT headsets in the past.If deleting & re-pairing doesn't work, try installing a different bluetooth (drivers) stack-- usb adapters usually load windows standard drivers, but there are better ones out there.I had luck with WidComm also BlueSoleil drivers(which can simultaneously connect with your cell & pc. you can then take calls & dial out cell calls thru your pc -- great for recording etc)Anyways, most of these are readily available if you google & often available on manufacturer websites (hp, lenovo, etc)Got mine workinGood luck with yoursI am using my original halos with a cheapo 2.0 BT usb adapter I got for $1 w/free shipping too !!

I used a Samsung SGH-A437. It took me 2 days trying to synch the phone with Nuvi and just now it finally paired. I realised both the phone and the unit would be paired faster if they are fully charged or both connected to AC charger! Then I found out "No data available. note: not all phones support this feature." Now I don't know if I should return it!! I bought the GPS for bluetooth usage!!!!

Thanks guys for the update. I ended up in buying nuvi 2460LMT and I liked voice command, bluetooth connection with my iphone4. I didn't like Jill's terrible voice and missing map details.When I cross speed limit then I see a blinking red notification on screen. Does you nuvi2460 LMT gives an audible warning when you cross speed limit?Thx

I am having the same issue. For some reason, I am not able to get this system to stay on. I have had Magellan's before and never had any issues. I love this product but cannot get it to work. Sometimes it turns on and with a slight bump turns off again. seems like some loose connection. Please help!!!!

Has anyone been able to get the I-touch to work with two Motorola headsets, using two different bluetooth devices? I have the Sony bluetooth to plug into the serial port and the Jabra to plug into the headphone port, but I can't get them both to play at the same time as I used to be able to do on my Nano. Only one jack seems to be powered at a time, when I plug the 2nd bluetooth the last one plugged in plays and seems to disconnect the first one

The blue tooth works well for phone calls and streaming music. However is still haven't figured out how to get the navigation to work on the screen. Not sure if you have to connected with the cable to get it to work but I tried it a few times when I first got it and couldn't get it to work. I just haven't had time to try it again. I even updated the firmware... Sound quality is great though.

Did you pair w/ your phone first? Try turning bluetooth off on phone, and then wait until the unit goes into pairing mode. If it does not automatically, turn the device off, and then press the power button for &gt;/= 6 seconds. It should reinitialize pairing mode for the device.

I got a new Garmin 2460LMT with Bluetooth. Awesome, but I had trouble hearing people when I was on the highway so had to return it. Bummer.

Try activating your I-Phone bluetooth at the same time you start the pairing with the Sony. It usually takes a few tries but works.

I have a 2007 with navi.. really doesn't work great. if I have the ipod playing I can't use the navigation. never could get the phone part to work. if I don't need to use the navi then the ipod plays fine, but can't control with radio. hope that helps
