    Hi! My 2015 PIP suddenly lost its Bluetooth and Data Port capabilities.

    Any ideas why that would be? And how to fix/replace?

    I use my BT for phoning.
    I plug in my iPod into the data port (located inside the centre storage) using a dedicated USB cable, for awesome sound and ease of music selection. But I can't do any of this now.

    (frustrated)...

    If you connect a different USB device, such as a flash drive, does it work?

    For the Bluetooth problem, have you tried resetting the audio system, as described under “Delete Personal Data” in the Display Audio System Owner’s Manual (PDF), page 199, and then re-pairing the Bluetooth device?

    For my PiP, when I connect my iphone to the data port, no audio will come except phone calls. If I play a podcast in my phone, it cant be played on the PiP audio, not sure why.
