Have a Motorola T605 Bluetooth in the 2005 xk8 that just purchased. Able to pair with my iPhone 4. When I try to place a call (pressing the green phone button on the 'Motorola T605 Bluetooth unit) the call goes through but the radio doesn't mute and the called party hears my radio but not me. (if I select the phone button on the radio the screen states "no phone connected".) Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

I can probably help you, but you need to explain EXACTLY how you wired it into the car.

 

J Stephen,

This graphic from the Installation Manual may help in giving your description of how you wired it:

That's the issue. I just purchased the car with the Bluetooth already installed. Not sure how it's wired.

 

Have you successfully followed the Bluetooth pairing procedure to connect your phone with the T605?

Graham

 

I am guessing who ever installed it just connected power and hooked it up with the external speaker.

You need to find the yellow mute wire on the T605.

Then you need to remove the 4 screws retaining the center console storage box and lid. Remove the storage box and lid. Locate the 18 position yellow plastic connector that is not connected to anything (it usually is on the drivers side). The connector should have some tiny pin numbers embossed on it (or at least in the corners). You may need a bright light and magnifer to see them. Connect the yellow wire from the T605 to the blue wire on position 6 of the connector. Your mute should now work.

If you are not satisfied with the volume, the system can be configured to play through your stereo. Let me know if you need instructions for that also.

 

Here's the yellow connector under the cubby (storage) box nearest to the LH seat back:



Mine has a harness plug attached because it's got factory Bluetooth fitted.

I have two T605s in my cars. Motorola's install diagrams are wrong. The yellow is not the mute line, orange is. So if you find the yellow wire hooked up, replace it with the orange. strange but true, trust me.

 

Thanks to all. Will try to hook it up, as mentioned, on my day off (Monday).

 

Any luck?

 

Got it up and running! Thanks to all for the input it allowed me to overcome my issues. Only one thing. When I start up each day, it says something to me in a foreign language. Not sure if she's cursing at me or welcoming me to the day.

 

she is saying you left the seat up again.






you need to set up the default language

 

Mine must be a different model, it just beeps at me.

 

Nah.. I hear that from my little lady and I ALWAYS recognize THAT command!
How do I set the default language?

 

man, I looked everywhere and can't find anything on it. I thought it might be like my parrot which did the same thing to me and was easy to do.

 

trying to install a T605 bluetooth in a 2005 xk8.
I couldn't find the wiring diagram for a 2005 but did find a pretty good description, including pins on the 14 pin yellow socket (mentioned in this post as a 18 pin ). this description shows power on pins 4 and 5 with ground on pin 2.

I don't have power on those pins. do I have the wrong pin-out or is a fuse blown- and where is that fuse block located.
appreciate any help I can get on this

Bill

 

On the 18-pin connector, you should have battery on pin 4, and ignition switched power on pin 5 and ground on pin 11.

Fuses for battery are F5, and for ignition switched power F10 on the right (US passenger side) dashboard fusebox.

 

I was using pin 3 as ground- don't know where I read that- but when I switched ground to pin 11, everything works

thanks for the help.

 

Thanks for posting your resolution.
