I cannot get Bluetooth to work on SIM800. AT+GSV command gives following response: SIMCOM_Ltd. SIMCOM_SIM800 Rev: 1308B02SIM800M64_BT. Any AT command I type (eg AT_BTSTATUS=?) gives ERROR. What could be the problem?

  • Regret the mistake. I tried AT+BTSTATUS? Got ERROR. Tried AT+BTPOWER=1, got ERROR. How do I enable BT? The user guide only gives AT commands and explanation, no troubleshooting guide. – A M M Mar 28 '16 at 11:30
  • _Again_, the command is not for example `AT+BTSTATUS?`, but `AT+BTSTATUS=?`. Here, page 10: http://mt-system.ru/sites/default/files/documents/sim800_series_bluetooth_application_note_v1.04.pdf **read your documentation** – jbm Mar 28 '16 at 13:06
  • Vote to close, as the user failed to read his documentation, resulting in typo-style mistakes. See answer and comments. – jbm Apr 03 '16 at 09:54

From the SIM800 manual here[*], page4, it should be:

AT+BTSTATUS?

Not AT_BTSTATUS=?

You may want to have a look at:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Serial_Programming/Modems_and_AT_Commands#AT_Commands

...and of course read the manual for your module.

Bluetooth in SIM800 has to be enabled first in order to be available for use.

To power up the bluetooth radio, just enter:

AT+BTPOWER=1
