Can't enable Bluetooth all of a sudden on my Nuvi 360T

BoutTime

Hi, Hopefully someone can help with this problem. I got in my car today and noticed that my phone hadn't automatically connected to my Nuvi. I thought it was the phone at first but then noticed that the Bluetooth icon was missing from the Nuvi's screen. I went into settings and Bluetooth was disabled. I tried Enabling it but the unit just hung with the message 'Enabling Bluetooth'. It does the same if I try to Disable it too. I tried a reset as well as just turning it on and off but to no avail. I then re-installed the latest software via the Garmin Web Updater and still no joy. Any ideas?? It was working fine.
Thanks in advance.

For anyone who has experienced the same problem I've managed to fix it - all be it through a bit of guess work.
I navigated to the Garmin folder using 'My Computer' with the Nuvi connected to the PC. I then removed the GUPDATE.GCD file and placed it on my Desktop in case my idea didn't work. I then started WebUpdater which reported the software already up to date. So I clicked on re-install existing software which placed a new copy of the GCD file in the Garmin folder. Then I ejected the Nuvi from the PC but unfortunately the Bluetooth still didn't work so I re-started th unit.
When I turned it on the Nuvi tried to update the Bluetooth Firmware (good) but froze on 48% (bad). I pressed the reset button on the back of the unit and turned the Nuvi back on. This time the Bluetooth Firmware updated no problem and I was able to Enable Bluetooth and re-connect my phone.
Thank F***k!

Hi
This realy helped me out.
I bought one of these units recently and downloaded the Webupdater software and run it. It reported there was a software update version 2.07 and vehicle icons. So updated it using webupdater.Result maps had disapeared off unit Sad

. I returned the unit to retailer who replaced it. :D This time i backed up the software(always a good idea !) a few hours later the buetoothe packed up following the batery going flat Sad

. i Guessed this was a firmware problem No amount of reseting resolved the issue.I then read this post and tried to update software on new unit (risky would i lose the maps again?) webupdater would not let me download it so I downloaded it manualy and installed it. YES bluetoothe was restored :D . OH NO no maps! Sad

Next step recopy the maps from back up YES all is well and my new Nuvi works great :D exept that the British voice file is corrupted and does not work, the backup file is also corrupted can anyone who can help with this?

Colin does the webupdater give you the option to re-install existing software?
