Any help at all would be greatly appreciated guys... (Got a 07 Tourer EX)

So, I've had the car about a month and when I first got it I connected the HFT to my Samsung Note 3 perfectly and made calls fine. Then a couple of weeks ago I was fiddling with the Sat Nav and after putting it back it, the HFT didn't seem to want to work at all. Pressing the buttons made no noise whatsoever.

After reading just about every forum post, I removed the unit from behind the air vents, took it apart, gave it a good shake and a blow put all circuit boards back together and put it back in. 9 times out of 10 it now works (occasionally it has a hissy and doesn't work at all). I cleared it completely and re-paired the phone.

Every time now I jump in the car (except when it doesn't work at all) the phone pairs nice a quickly and is ready to make a call. So when I say a number, or a name in the phone book and say call all of sudden the Bluetooth drops out. The exact same thing happens when there is an incoming call. When I press to answer it the Bluetooth connection drops again. Usually re-connects a few seconds later, but too late to make or answer a call.

My thoughts are as follows: The Bluetooth is obviously working fine, and it can't be my phone, I don't think because it worked to start off with a few weeks ago.

Anyone experienced this before?

I do have a Parrot Kit from my old car, but would sooner get the HFT working if I can.
 
Hi, did you get this sorted??
I have a very similar issue with the Bluetooth connection dropping in & out.
