My car keeps ringing me !

bdm09 · 25th August 2015, 12:38

I have two mobiles, neither has been connected to the Kenwood HU before.

Around once every 2 months my car rings as if a mobile was connected via Bluetooth. Last time it happened, I switched the Kenwood stereo off - made no difference - still rang but sound defo comes out of steakers. no missed calls on either phone.

Where should I be looking ? Do these cars have something clever to do with the assist button ?

Help !

Have you got Trafficmaster Smartnav fitted? If so, it could be that.

Not the smartnav system, thats still available

Nope - nothing like that installed as far as I know.
I only have the council display panel - not the one with all the info on it.
I do have the button above the front ashtray - a lady says something about not being available if you push it.

So does smartnav have a mobile device hidden away somewhere ?
Is that whats ringing me ?
How can I test / trace it ?
