This can be a problem if you are trying to connect your phone to the car and it won’t work at all. So, how do you fix it? Here are some simple steps to take when your Bluetooth isn’t working properly on your Nissan Sentra.
Symptoms
Your Nissan Sentra’s Bluetooth is not working. The Bluetooth symbol is on the dash, but you cannot make or receive calls through it. The phone book on your phone shows the phone can pair with your car, but it cannot make or receive calls.
Causes
This is a very common problem with Nissan Sentra models, and the problem usually occurs when the Sentra’s Bluetooth module has been disconnected or has become disconnected from the car’s radio.
This will make it so that your Sentra will not be able to pair with any other Bluetooth devices, and you will not be able to connect to your phone via Bluetooth either.
The solution for this problem is to make sure that you reconnect your Bluetooth module back into your car, and then make sure that you connect it back up properly into the port on your car’s dashboard.

Other causes for this problem can include a damaged Bluetooth antenna on the inside of your car, a damaged connection between the Bluetooth module and your phone, or even an electrical short in between these two components.
If this is the case, then you will need to replace your Bluetooth module as well as replace or repair whatever part of your car may have caused the electrical short in between these two components.
