It's quite a while since i've stripped either a 1300 or 1390 down. However, i do stand by the above statement in that the US 1300 doesn't have a BT module on board, and nor indeed does it have a microphone which is also required for BT to function. The mike lead plugs in to the standard PCB socket and the mike itself will fit behind the hole on the LH side of the front casing and bezel also present on 1300/1310/1340/1350. As to the BT module, i can't recall for sure how it's fitted to the 1390 but unlikely it's 'plug-in'. If you could source a module and mike [the latter would be easy, the former not so easy] you could maybe trick a 1300 up to have Bluetooth but frankly it's not worth the trouble in my opinion, especially when you can buy a BT visor kit for 14-15 bucks on eflea:Originally Posted by Neil

Maybe you could search for some pics/videos of 13xx PCBs to compare the set ups if you really want to go down that path for the challenge and fun.Code:Please Login or Register to see the links

@Neil
Thx again for such prompt reply.
I purchased 2 Visor kits from Aldi in 2012 "VIVID" brand and whilst they do work - everytime you leave the vehicle the PAIRING is lost (happens with iphone 3GS, 4S, and HTC Desire so not phone specific) - this uses to happen also with my previous GPS 2009 Navman S50, something to do with the lousy <phone model>.ini files supplied by Navman (and they would do nothing about it) - and so with the 1300 you have to go through the whole process - "Forget this device", then enable BOTH phone and VIVID for Bluetooth search, then enter pass key "0000" then connect - all too hard for wife if just getting out of car for 10 minutes. Also hates anything in her ear!!??!!
Considered a 3rd party in dash GPS for the 2007 Honda Accord but costly and would have to research what system it runs, what maps, what updates available, what other functions etc etc - too hard! So hoped 1300 would be able to unlock/upchip to BT.
Maybe I'll try to research the PCB issue further.
However - just on the subject of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - have now tested out the "unlocked' features (indebted to you and others) - they all work fine. Slight issue that maybe someone has the answer or can "mod' the flash to accommodate -
1. The JCV comes on sometimes a bit earlier than desirable and sometimes a bit later - and stays on for 5-6 seconds - and since we are not watching the screen too much while driving it is easy to miss the JCV display - so is there a function or could a mod be done to sound a "BING" (or similar) when the JCV is displayed (a bit like happens with the Cyclops Safety Camera or Zone Alert)?
2. Similarly, since the unit knows and displays the Speed Limit and the Actual Speed, when the latter exceeds the former the display of the Actual does turn RED but again if not studying the screen this will often be missed - so could it a "BING-BING-BING" be activated or "modded" to sound whenever ACTUAL exceeds LIMIT? The old 2008 S50 Navman used to do something like that. Where I now live in Queensland, the law has recently changed and the Police are warning they will nab drivers for ANY kph over the LIMIT. A warning sound would be a REAL help here.
Again thx
PG
PS - Both iPhones and HTC have NO facility for OPTIONS - they DO reconnect automatically to my friend's Mitsubishi Triton in-vehicle BT so don't think its the phone end - believe its the VIVIDs that cant seem to store (or have) a profile for these phones so when the phones try to reconnect - nothing happens!
