Same problem! I just has to open the Tranzit Blu app. Press "options" and then "Learning mode" or whatever it was called. Started working immediately. Pressed save and then it was done

Same question here. However, in theory you should be able to manipulate the settings in your phone so that the Transit is only used for A2DP bluetooth data whereas the call data only goes to the car's built in bluetooth.

My blue tooth keeps coming in and out. It will not hold long enough to configure with the app.
Looks like i will have to pull the player out of the dash to access the Tranzit blue for a reboot....

I put mine behind the PCM so I can access it without pulling the PCM out. It is easy to pull the wires behind the "PCM-casing"

Ok, so I did my install a month ago and everything worked great. Last week, after going for a drive, I parked my car for an hour or two, then got back in, and the the bluetooth did not connect, the radio station was displaying the frequency, and no matter how many times I tried to press the button, I got no noticeable reaction. Played with it all the way home, and nothing. When I got home, I turned off my car, waited for the PCM to shut down, then restarted it and got nothing.

I came 12h later, and it started working again as soon as I started the car (car had not been moved, nothing was touched).

Then it worked for two days, then it did it again. Now it's working again.

Any idea why?

Try to open the app. Reconnect again or change frequency forward and back again. Worked for me. For me IT happened with the last Apple update

Just had another Apple Update. Once again the PCM doesn't scroll the songs being played.

When I get no connection I have to turn off my Bluetooth and turn back on again to acquire the Tranzit.

With the update I have to reboot my Tranzit to make it work again. Really frustrating.

I'll try the app next time, but since I didn't have a bluetooth connection to the unit anymore (no connection, no RDS display, no responsiveness to the button).

How do you reboot it since it's hardwired? Is there any kind of light on the unit (now I regret mounting it behind the PCM)

Ive received several pm's on how I installed mine and pics of mic placement, so just putting this back on here since its buried in the thread:

I installed this in my 997.1 GT3 a little while ago and hid my wires even more so . I ran it from the fuse panel up inside the dash then up inside the a-piller following other factory wiring. So even if you removed the a-piller you wouldnt even notice it. I also wanted a completely stealth install and didnt want the mic or button sticking out anywhere. So this is what I did:

Here is a pic where I installed the mic. I have the cover removed to show. The pop in/out cover I dremeled a large hole and covered with speaker grill cloth. I also covered the other side pop out cover in grill cloth so it would all match. I wanted to do something stealth and refused to just clip mount the mic to the a-piller. I also hid the green button inside the center console ashtray, so i just flip that open when i want to use it, and can close it and have it completely out of sight. I filed the plastic down a little inside the ashtray where the wire comes through to not put any pressure on the wire.

Ive had no issues with people not being able to hear me, and im in a GT3 with headers, 200 cell cats, and bypass.









And lastly, closed and out of sight

got the transit installed in 997.1. linked to iPad mini4. All my music and Waze/ Apple Maps/Google Maps/TomTom/MotionXGPS. Usually run with Music as primary and Waze in the "slide over". Works great.

Can anyone verify doing an install like this, where the mic is left out and the car system is used for phone and the tranzit purely for a2dp music?
