Bluetooth (OEM) Won't Connect
After working flawlessly and automatically for two years, I cannot connect my phone to the OEM bluetooth (2009 TT). Deleted all prior profiles from the PCM and tried to sync again, no worky.
Anyone else have this problem?

It sounds like you have tried all the usual. Keep in mind that these things are essentially computers, so do the Gates thing--reboot. Pull all applicable circuit breakers and then try again. That's what I would try.

You might want to consider the 'phone as the culprit, especially if a software upgrade has been done. Reset the 'phone, then recheck. I had to power-down my wife's iPhone today as it failed to connect as you stated. On restart it was fine.

Thanks. I have a fairly new iPhone (VZW) and I vaguely recall it may have upgraded the software recently. Could be the culprit. Oh, and I see this was your second post - Welcome!

Same thing happened to me (iPhone 2 AT&T). May have been after update to IOS 4.3.3. Not sure.
I went into the phone's settings, shut off Bluetooth, then restarted the phone, turned Bluetooth back on - problem solved.

I'd think if it stops working one day to the next, the first thing to look at is the phone:
1) Make sure the phone's bluetooth is turned on.
2) Try to pair it again from the phone... ie reset the phone as it may have gotten wonky, changed the BT profiles its got on/using... check its BT configurations
3) Try pairing the phone with some other device like another phone or computer you may have... and once that works, go back to the car.

for some reason my BB won't connect if the keyboard lock is engaged. Otherwise it works like a champ.

I have to power down my iPhone 4 (VZW) about once a month due to an inability to connect to the PCM bluetooth. Happens in my wife's ML as well. As soon as I boot it back up, it connects.
