Music will need a separate connection as the OEM Bluetooth is only V1.1 which doesn't support it.

The phone should work via Bluetooth but you may need to delete all existing pairings before you can pair your own phone to the car (it only allows 4 pairings before refusing more).

Note that not all phones work properly and certain functions are not available at all depending upon phone model.

You should have a book for it in the car, plus the car's PIN.

Have a look at this thread to see if it helps.  Replies 11 & 13 may help as well.

I assume you have all the right manuals including the Bluetooth one?  You also need the 4-digit Bluetooth PIN for the car....do you have that?  I think the pairing button is in the armrest area (?).

It is possible the BT module is down or has been removed.  It should be in the left rear cubby if memory serves, and mounted at an angle at the bottom of the cubby.

The 4 digit pin might be on the side of the BT module as well. If not. A scanner should reveal the pin.
