Default Bluetooth

Is there a way to adjust the bluetooth sensitivity in our cars without going to the dealer?

Hold down the INFO Button if you have NAV... and turn your headlight signal from the off position to the the middle position (the position before you turn your headlights on) back to off and keep doing that until your nav screen shows an alternate menu with one of the options being bluetooth...
You can look through that and you can adjust the sensitivity.

this cant be for real...you would have heard of this hidden menu by now and the ones that have navi eespecially as this would probably allow us to change the settings as where possible in the past.

It is true, at least if you have NAV. Give it a try. There are lots of things in this service menu. I'd be somewhat careful in what you fiddle with

You can look through that and you can adjust the sensitivity.
I know that this will show the alternate menu (it was posted before and I tried it), but I do not recall being able to adjust anything or given the option to adjust anything.

Well Since I am at work and have nothing better to do, I thought I would try it. I'll be damned it works. Turn the car on, but don't start it, then do as indicated above (see quote), this will bring up a menu.

This first menu is a systems check, in the upper right hand corner there is a menu button and from there you can access the blue tooth...you can make it louder for the sender or receiver. There is also a key pad, but I dont know what it is for and honeslty I am a "coniglio" when it comes to messing with the "programing" of a car.

I adjusted the blue tooth volume - I will have to see if it works on my way home.
