USB problem ?

Please can you help ?

My 500 has developed a blue and me usb problem because of my girlfriend (I think).

It was all working fine then I switched off the engine and she wanted to turn off the radio. She pressed the off button quickly, nothing happened, so she did it again, I said hold it down, so she did and then the radio switched off.

PROBLEM: now I have no USB function. No I am no idiot, the car says NO MEDIA, I've tried my ipod which worked the other day, it shows it's charging but it doesn't work either. The USB memory is fine, I've taken it and tried it on my PC, no problems.

What has she managed to do ?

It appears with her button pressing she has some how disabled the USB function of the car....I'm going to kill her grrrrr.

Has this happened to anyone else....what do I do to reset it....please don't say I have to go back the dealer.....they are terrible (

Thanks

Phil

I really wouldnt resort to murder.lol! I dont have the answer to your question though, I'm assuming you have read the handobook (complicated though it is) The blue and me is tricky to master at the best of times. Someone on here might have the answer if not I am afraid it might be a trip to the dealers which are a bit useless at times especially when it comes to things like the blue and me. Good Luck! x

Thanks for the reply

I read on a few forums about blue and me issues (of which I'd had none in two months).

Tried the voice command idea....saying "play anything" with no luck

Tried using a different USB stick.....again with no luck

Resorted to pulling the two fuses that relate to the audio/in car system.

This cured it and didn't result in the blue tooth pairing with my phone, or the radio presets being lost (I assume these are internal battery backed).

So problem solved and girlfriend banned from touching the radio again ;o)
