Jordan ZS Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Ive got a 59 plate Zetec S and a couple of weeks ago I had this smell of death keep coming through the ventilation when set to cold... when the aircons on its fine however. I'm going to check again today and see if its still there because it was a really horrible smell. Think im going to get my bluetooth updated on my first service to. Everyone always says that cant hear me clearly when in the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi what phone do you have, I had a couple of updates in the last 10 months as I had the problem you had also the phone kept locking up the central console so I couldnt hang up or even use the radio, and had to pull over and turn the engine off and on. hands free, not quite! lol. all fixed with updates. good luck! and I hope you dont have the same problem as I do!

I have a iPhone 3gs amd sony w910,the iPhone i find is worse than the sony. I have to turn the volume up on the stereo when on the iPhone phone call to hear the other person but then they complain its to loud! cant win.. def worth trying a software update, the last one i had was march.. does any one know how to find out if there is a new update or what version you are running?
