I've had my car a couple of weeks now. On Thursday I switched off my bluetooth on my phone while I flew away for the day (to conserve battery life). Yesterday, realised I could not access my phone in the car - realised I had not put bluetooth back on, I thought nothing of it. This morning, I switch bluetooth back on, on my phone before getting into my V8V. Still could not use the phone - realising I could not switch on phone mode. There are no phone menues at all. Pressing the phone button makes no difference - its like the car has no phone mode. It was all working fine before I left. Any ideas?

Can be worth making sure its not the phone, take the battery out to reset and try again, if still nothing try another phone if available and see if it pairs..

I don't think its the phone. I can't get the phone menu up in the car to pair a new phone or anything. There is just no action from the phone button. Its like something (bluetooth) has been switched off in the car - but I cannot figure out how to get the phone mode re-activated.

Sorry, not sure, pretty sure you would have done the obvious like that and gone through the pairing procedure as per the manual. Maybe it would be worth trying a battery reset? Somebody with a bit more experience of similar faults should confirm that though before you do it. I think you'll have to reprogram a few other things like windows etc. if you do.

Check the cars Bluetooth fuse - no idea which one, would need to check the manual
Have you tried putting the phone into Scan mode in Bluetooth? Does it see 'Aston Martin'? Will confirm if cars's Bluetooth is transmitting.
Whilst you are doing that, do the car's Bluetooth lights come on?
Could be a faulty Bluteooth module in the car, but not heard of the fault before.
