Well, eight years later I have solved my bluetooth and screen issues.

I got a replacement bluetooth unit a while back but the telephone icon would not show up on the screen. Checked the connector and that looked ok back then when I had the water issue in the rear left cargo bay area. Eight years later and decided to get the connectivity checked. Sneaky connector was hiding a corroded bit inside. Bluetooth back up and connecting with modern iphone 15 plus(contrary to what some say you can’t use a modern phone).

It feels good when something niggling finally works out. In hindsight I should have done a continuity check back then.

cheers
James
