Yesterday, my bluetooth system crashed. The MID (when you select Handsfree Link) says IN USE with Signal Strength and Battery. Neither of the HFL buttons do anything. Car was shut down overnight and HFL is still frozen! Turned off the bluetooth on the phone and no difference. Since the HFL has seized the Audio, can't listen to any Audio system device (CD/Radio, etc). The voice activated navi and climate system flash a message on the display that system cannot be used as another system is using the audio. Does anyone know how to reset this system without going to a dealer? Is there a fuse I can pull out and put back in? I want to also avoid taking out the battery cable, but if that's the only way, then I'll have to do it.

I've had this happen. Is the MID staying on even when the car is off for a few hours?

Pull fuse in location 10 in the fuse panel in the driver's footwell. There is a fuse pulling tool inside of the engine compartment fuse box (under hood, driver's side, just behind the air cleaner cover -- pop the top and look for the white plastic puller).

I tried taking the fuse out and it didn't work. The fuse kills the display, and doesn't seem to get the HFL to re-boot. Any other suggestions?

disconnect and reconect the battery. I dont think there is a back up anywhere so that should kill everything. Pull and replace all fuses. Why dont they use breakers?
