The question
Hi,
I have a 2012 Skoda to which I have Bluetoothed a pre-smartphone Nokia. Recently when I tried to connect a Huawei p8 it did not recognise the device. Is that solutionable?
Thanks
Philip

Hi Philip,
Possibly, but it will depend on the software that’s in the Skoda. Given that it’s a 2012 car, it’s probably running Bluetooth generation 4.0, which has since been superseded by generation 5.1, which might explain why the older Nokia connects but not the new Huawei . It’s possible that you might be able to upgrade the software in the car, but I think the first port of call should be to your local Skoda dealer.
