I found this thread while looking for some info on the HFT module part number. Some readers claim that a faulty capacitor may be at fault, while others suggest that random dry solder joints may be the cause.
It's a huge thread with a lot of information, complaints and reference to units different to my own, but since I have a module that will not pair with my phone, I have nothing to lose.
So far I have removed the unit and cleaned the contacts. This appeared to work and the phone paired with the car, but dropped out. I then took the module apart again and used contact cleaner, which once again worked for a moment and then stopped pairing.
I know nothing about electronics but I have a HFT module that will sometimes work, and that is incentive enough to not want to pay hundreds for a new module just yet!
There are suggestions to put the circuits in the oven to reheat the solder joints. It sounds crazy enough that it might just work! some have had excellent results, some only temporary.
I should have some spare time this weekend to try this madness. What do you guys think?
