On my 2007 HSE the phone module failed. Pressing the telephone button on the dash elicited no response at all. The radio and sat nav were still working fine. Having checked the fuse myself, the dealer investigated and reported that the phone module had failed and would need to be replaced. They quoted �370 inc vat to replace it. I knew it would be a little black box somewhere with a connector or two, and certainly didn't believe it warranted that much money. I decided to tackle it myself.
2. Remove the load bay floor. Open the fuse box to the forward near-side of the spare tyre.
3. Check the fuse. It's the orange 5-amp one in the forward near-side corner of the blue holder.
4. Covering the boot catch is a piece of plastic trim running the width of the boot sill. Get your fingers/screwdriver under the back of it and pull it up and slightly forward. You'll need to pull quite hard. It will release with a pop.
5. On the off-side is a small black tray. Pull it out gently.
6. Just rear of the seatbelt anchor and behind the light cluster are two luggage anchor points. Remove them with your T40 bit. Be careful here - as you remove the bolts it's easy to drop them as the whole assembly gets quite sloppy. If you drop it it will disappear below the subwoofer and you won't be able to retrieve it without a magnet (fortunately I had one).
7. At elbow height on the off-side boot wall is a plastic hook for a luggage net. Twist it through 90 degrees to release it.
8. Peel the rubber boot seal away from the large plastic trim on the off-side boot wall, and get your fingers under the trim. Starting nearest you, pull hard away from the off-side towards the centre of the car. You'll hear a pop as a plastic catch somewhere gives way. Move your hand in behind the trim and pull again. A catch nearer the front (just behind the rear seat catch, I think) will give way and you'll be able to see behind the trim properly. The trim will still be attached at the front, but there's no need to remove it.
9. The bluetooth phone module is the black one on top. The lower orange cables are the optical fibres joining it to the rest of the AV system. The copper cables in the top multi-plug are for power etc. Remove both. The fibre connector has a latch at the bottom. The copper connector has two: push inn the small grey lug in the centre of the back of the connector, then push down the black securing latch. Remove the four bolts at the top and bottom of the unit and withdraw.
10. Swap the four captive nuts from the old part to the new part. 11. Refitting is the reverse of removal. HTH! |

Awesome how to guide. Many thanks. Does the new module allow you to stream music or just the same same as before ?
