Hi all, I'm new to the Kizashi club, just picked up a 2010 GTS FWD 6spd manual and I'm loving it. I have an issue with the Bluetooth system. When I'm trying to set it up, it simply refuses to acknowledge my voice. I really would like to get this set up, and I'm not finding anyone else with a similar problem online. Suggestions?

Try talking towards the microphone. The mic is located next to the map light near the sunglasses holder. It's behind the mess grill next to the map light.
This is assuming the microphone is even working.

My car detects my voice just fine.

Right on, I will try that. Hopefully the mic is working alright, is that a common failure?

No, I think it works fine for most people.
You are hitting the talk button first, right? When the system reads the list of commands, you are saying the command words exactly as prompted?
Just making sure.

Did everything you suggested, KuroNekko. Still no results. I bought it from an independent dealer and they're throwing up their hands and telling me to go pound dirt.
