OSTC 3 cannot find bluetooth option

Post by Pat »

Hi all,
I just received my OSTC 3 today and try to connect it to my PC using the BT interface ...
Stupid question: where can I activate the BT in the OSTC 3? The manual says it's in the main menu, but it is not! I tried to search in Settings ... and found nothing!
Thank you for your help!

Hi,

If it's not in settings (2nd entry) then reboot the unit from the reset menu (Will not change any settings).

regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Thank you for your quick reply. I have already rebooted the device, it didn't change anything. My main menu looks like this:

Logbook
OC Gas Setup
CCR Setup
Simulator
Deco Mode
Settings
Exit

... and that's all ... any idea?

Go into "Settings". It's either in "Settings" or in one of the submenus from "Settings" (Depending on your current firmware).

Found the problem: dealer is France is selling "old" USB models without bluetooth. Will exchange the unit. You can close the topic.
Thank's for the support.
