2004 LS430 Bluetooth/Bluemusic issue

[dbsze]

I'm trying to install a Bluemusic Bluetooth adapter to the ML Mark Levinson stereo. 

 

I plug the cable from the dash into one end of the 6+6 splitter I have, and then plug that into the hole at the back of the head unit, and the head unit still works. 

 

However as soon as I plug the Bluetooth adapter into the other end of the splitter, the headunit buttons refuse to work.

 

Any ideas?

 

Or is it possible to just be gone with this ML system and just chuck in a double din?

You may have a duff Y-cable or a duff Bluemusic module.
Try swapping the cable from the dash into the other y-cable socket.
What happens if you remove the cable from the dash and only plug in the Bluemusic?

I've tried 2 different y cables. And tried various connotations of plugging into different sockets. 

 

Only plugging in the bluemusic results in nothing. Unplugging the dash cable stops any of the stereo controls from working at all

Then you need to contact Bluemusic and/or your supplier as it sounds like you have a broken Bluemusic module.

Thanks @BigBoomerit was indeed a duff bluemusik module.

All working now?

Yep, they sent out a new one and all is good.
