Hello all - being a new user I didn't post this in the correct section (duh!) so here it is again for those who missed it!!

My 2006 S Type is brilliant but last week developed the bluetooth "Handset in use. Please replace handset" problem noted by a lot of the forum members. I've tried disconnecting the battery (for more than 10 minutes) and starting and restarting the engine to try and get the bluetooth module to 'reset' itself but to no avail.
I have had the car for over a year and up until last week the bluetooth connection to my Blackberry worked great.
There is no phone module in the car, so, based on previous threads, this looks like a bluetooth issue or the console module. This begs the question - where is the bluetooth module so I can 'reset' it either by removing power or with a hammer!

 

Any help here for reacz before he gets the big hammer out

 

Among the free handbooks is one about fitting the BT module I think so if I'm right it should show where. Unplugging will achieve no more than battery disconnect...

Maybe unpair & re-pair?

 

This same issue happened to me a few weeks back. I went crazy looking on this site for a solution, but then a little kid told me I should probably turn off my phone and then try to pair it up again once it was on again with the car. Apparently it worked.

 

Thanks to all who replied. I obtained a disc (from eBay) on the Jaguar S type manual to identify where the bluetooth module was. Under the armrest as pointed out by one of the members. I disconnected the one cable for about 10 minutes and reconnected. The main phone screen then came back and I could re-pair the same phone perfectly.
So, it wasn't the level of Blackberry software (mine's the latest curve on about v5.0) it was that the module that had got it's knickers in a twist (to use a technical phrase!).
