Description
The Bluetooth Module controls the Bluetooth system on all cars. This module is a stand-alone unit,
which is not connected to any communication network on the car. The module is located on the
drivers side of the Instrument Pack (IP) ju st above the pedals (see page opposite).

The components of the system are:
1. Microphone
2. Bluetooth switches (steering wheel)
3. LED Indicator
4. Bluetooth Module
5. Amplifier (audio)
6. Switcher box (V8 Vantage only)

If a DB9 is installed with both the ‘in-car’ ph one and the Bluetooth systems and both systems are
active then the Bluetooth system will override the ‘i n-car’ phone system. An active call on the ‘in-car’
phone will be ended if a call is re ceived on the Bluetooth system or any of the Bluetooth menus are
used.

The Bluetooth module has been designed to meet the following parameters:
Parameter Units Nominal Lower Limit Upper Limit
Battery Voltage Volts N/A 10.5 16.0
Nominal Voltage Volts 13.2 12.2 14.2
Over Voltage (for 1 minute) Volts 24.0 18.0 25.0
Operating Current mA 225-300 <300uA (sleep) <1.5A
Room Temperature °C 25 15 35
Operating Temperature °C N/A -30 70
Storage Temperature °C N/A -40 85
