avic411,
in reply to the original question/problem with bt [error-02]stopping working out of the blue::: this happened to me on my avic5200nex [the bluetooth just stopped out of nowhere and MAN WAS I PISSED, ...and i was depressingly excited to buy a new 8400 or 8500 but i am broke, but then i figured i would use a bluetooth-fm-transmitter thingy and the radio function on the head unit for a while -while a save my pennies, ...well; while attempting to pair my phone to the bluetooth fm transmitter thingy and get that to play through the radio section of the avic5200nex head unit [the radio part still worked -only the bluetooth, error-02, is what stopped working] - - -when out of nowhere: the radio tried to pair with the bluetooth fm transmitter thingy when i plugged it into the 12vdc power port, so i tried to pair it and THEN I REALIZED the bluetooth may be working again so i unplugged the fm transmitter thingy and my phone showed up on the radio and vice-versa and now it is working again, although all my speaker level settings and e-q settings were all wiped out, but no big dill i was thrilled that i don't have to dish out like $400 to $500 bucks on some second hand ebay unit and it seems to be ok - - - so if anyone is having bluetooth issues with an avic unit i suggest trying to pair it with some other bluetooth device after sitting for a day or two [i forgot to mention the car had been sitting for a day or two when this happened] and then try again to pair it with the phone again and i am also curious if this works for anyone too - i sure hope it does, i even created this account just to post this as i know i would be so grateful if someone else posted this and i found it and it worked i would be grinning ear to ear so i hope it helps even one person would make it worth all this typing, ...good luck! =)
*the bluetooth unit i use ---usually in other peoples cars--- that i was going to use when my bt failed until i could buy a new head unit is this one but i don't think it matters what one it is as long as it is something like this and heck, even if it doesn't work at least you can then play your phone bluetooth to the bluetooth fm transmitter to the radio receiver like i was going to do when i stumbled on this "fix" so no great loss and they are only like $15 on ebay and amazon anyway, ...here is the exact one i have:
