Hi,

Still trying to get to know all the settings. Have just go access to the remote App, it was bound to the previous owner. I think I have a problem with the Bluetooth connection. On the Ismart App it shows the car with a green light for the WiFi and the Bluetooth symbol is greyed out. I assume that the car is not connected via Bluetooth. I have tried everything to connect the Bluetooth but have failed. I assume that this means, once the car is away from home I will not be able to connect to it. Any ideas. Do I try resetting the entertainment centre.

A screenshot of what you are discussing would be helpful.

Have you paired the phone on bt? Does the phone function work. It is different to the app

Interesting - as you can see, my screen is quite different. I have never noticed the wifi stripes. My app version is 2.0.9.

Yes I have tried everything. I did manage to get the phone onto the car but had to do it with a physical cable. It's like it's not sending out connection signal

My iSmart is not like that, can't find version

2.0.7 version

Mine is on iPhone, version in Account/Settings. I'm sure you have the latest but interesting difference. I have no problems with having contact with the car, both when at home and away,

Odd mine is 2.07 and says it is up to date

Have you connected your phone to the car via Bluetooth yet? If not, you need to do that first. Second, you need to be close to the car to connect Bluetooth in iSmart app. (but, obviously, you need to pair the phone with the car - check instructions manual.)

When you are far away, it won't connect via Bluetooth but via your phone data connection.

That is the "100 years" skin. Try the "white" skin to see the difference.

You are right - thanks! In the 'white' skin, both Network and BT icons are visible.
