Dear Bluetooth Gurus,
I've recently been looking at purchasing a new vehicle and have found that vehicle bluetooth systems in a number of those small cars we've checked out, e.g. GM, Skoda, Hyundai and VW brands, the Bluetooth is always on – as advised by the respective manufacturers.
We want to be able to turn off or disable the vehicle bluetooth system to avoid any bluetooth emissions (noting that mobile bluetooth will also be switched off).
Our reasons for this aside, from a technical perspective I would have thought that if I had my phone bluetooth on and visible to any bluetooth source I should be able to see any vehicle bluetooth system that may be on, i.e. the vehicle I'm in and any others within my immediate proximity with their bluetooth on.
Is this a reasonable proposition or could a bluetooth system be on but not visible to me if my phone was unpaired?
Any assistance by way of a response would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mick
