Always Have to Re-pair iPhone w/ Bluetooth Car Receiver

Just got a new head unit (Pioneer DEH 7900 BT) and I'm having some trouble getting the iPhone's Bluetooth pairing to work. I can pair the iPhone and head unit through Settings > General > Bluetooth and everything is OK -- can place and receive calls. When I get out of the car and return, the pairing seems to be lost. The iPhone still says it's paired, but the head unit doesn't recognize anything. If I unpair and re-pair from the iPhone, we're OK again. Is this normal operation? A problem with the iPhone or the head unit? Anyone have a similar experience?

I searched the Pioneer website and found the below, i think it applies to all pioneer head units. Does any one know what profiles the iPhone has?
from http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Support/Knowledgebase
Knowledgebase: Car Product - CD/Cassette Receiver
Bluetooth Profile compatibility for the DEH-P9800BT or the DEH-P980BT?
What profiles are compatible with my bluetooth device?
In order to use Bluetooth wireless technology, devices must be able to interpret certain profiles.
This unit is compatible with the following profiles.
1. GAP (Generic Access Profile)
2. SDP (Service Discovery Protocol)
3. OPP (Object Push Profile)
4. HSP (Head Set Profile)
5. HFP (Hands Free Profile)
This unit can control a Bluetooth audio player via A2DP or AVRCP profile. Bluetooth audio players (or Bluetooth adapters) compatible with those profiles can be connected to this unit.
1. A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Only playing back songs on your audio player is possible.
2. AVRCP profile (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile): Playing back, pausing, selecting songs, etc., are possible.
Attachments: There are no attachments for this solution.

i've had black iphones in the past, and the same thing always gets messed up, the network, i will not have service what-so ever, and when my mother's iphone will be right next to me and she will have full service. Also the lock screen button/power button broke on both of my black iphones as well. i was just wondering if they would consider. Does apple have an email i could contact?

Since restarting did not help, reset your iPhone, see: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that still does not solve it, check, if the contact you are trying to add is problematic. Try to save a different contact. Does that work?
If not, reinstall the Contacts app. This is only possible by restoring your iPhone, unfortunately.

After installing ios7 on my iphone 4, bluetooth is not pairing with my bluetooth car speaker. I have restored settings. Any tips?

Can anyone help/ After installing ios7 on the iphone 4, I cannot connect bluetooth on the phone with my bluetooth car speaker. It worked before ios7. I have restored my phone but it is still not working.

Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. This will not affect data. Remove the car speakers from the phone under Bluetooth, and remove the phone from the car stereo. After that place both devices back into pairing mode and reconnect.

Sorry Phone in pairing question 5S not 5C

Hello CragA,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are having trouble pairing this bluetooth function to your phone.
I found this article for you named:
iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
And this section from down the bottom of the article:
Unable to pair to a Bluetooth accessory
If you see the word "Connected" next to a Bluetooth accessory in Settings > Bluetooth, your iOS device is already paired to a Bluetooth accessory. Remember, you can only connect to one Bluetooth accessory at a time.
If your Bluetooth accessory requires a PIN for pairing, be sure that you are entering the correct PIN1.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
All the best,
Sterling

Pair iPhone with alpine car radio

My iPhone 5 won't pair with the Alpine radio in my car. The iPhone 4 did it with no problems.

I have an Alpine CDE-103BT, had an iphone 4 paired to it. When I got my iPhone 5 I couldn't get it paired. It saw the unit but using 0000 failed each time even though the Alpine manual said to use it and that worked with the iPhone 4. I bought the Stereo at Crutchfield which has lifetime support for anything you get from them. After several hours of searching and reading forums I broke down and called Crutchfield. Supplied my order number and explained what was happening. They told me even though the maunal say use 0000 , try 1234 . Did 1234 and I now have the iPhone5 paired to my Alpine.

IPhone and Bluetooth Car question???

HELP! Can't figure out how to do this...Seems like one product does this and another product does that...So I came here looking for help Maybe I'm asking for too much. LOL
What I want is a product that I can get Handsfree for in my car (since our state is making it illegal to talk on cellphone without having handsfree, plus I don't want to use a bluetooth ear piece), have the phone call go through my car speakers, keep phone charged and then also use the function of the iPod with my radio controls without having to use the actual iPhone to control what I want to listen to.
Is that too much to ask for? LOL Is there such a product. I found this...it's close, but no cigar:

Thanks for your help

Check out Parrot BT car kits. They have a couple models that should do what you're looking for.

Can't pair iPhone via Bluetooth

Hey Guys,
I have a new 11" Air which is incredible but for the life of me I can't get Bluetooth pairing to work with my iPhone 4 so I can tether.
It pairs the device in System Preferences but I try to connect them I get to errors.
If I connect from the MBA I get an out of range error and If I connect it from the iPhone I get a message saying that the device is not supported - and it prompts me to remove the device from the Phone?
Both devices are up-to-date and I have bluetooth working with the iPhone and my MBP.
Tried resetting PRAM but still no luck.
Any ideas?

Hello everyone,
same problem: brand new Macbook Air 11" and Iphone 4 with 4.2.1 and can't connect via BT. I had tried before with a simple Nokia that connected seamlessly with my first generation Macbook (2006), so I assume there's an issue with BT on the Air. I have tried deleting the files Scott was indicating, but still no luck.
Tethering is solved via USB, but it would be nice to be able to use BT as well, for the times I don't have my cable with me and also simply because it's there and it doesn't make sense for it not to work. Has Scott's workaround delivered results for others?
I hope someone at Apple reads this and that they'll solve the issue in a future software update.

HT4623 Cannot Pair iPhone 5 bluetooth to 06 BMW iDrive

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my iPhone 5 to my 06 BMW iDrive. I have successfully connected my friends iPhone 4S to my iDrive, but when i try to connect my iPhone5 it fails after i have entered the passcode into the iDrive. I am using the exact same approach that i used when connecting the 4S so it's not my 'technique' that's the issue and neither the iDrive as it supports the 4S's bluetooth 4.0. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it? Both devices were running iOS 6.1.
Thanks
Dean

I had a similar problem, but with an iPad. Nearly posted a question, but then after I asked Bluetooth to remove the device I was trying to pair it to, I tried again! And it worked. So try the following:
Close, unplug the devices for 10 seconds
In Bluetooth, ask to remove the device you were trying to pair to
Then try to pair again and cross your fingers!

I cannot pair iPhone 4 bluetooth to Windows 7

I am having windows 7 and i cannot pair the bluetooth. someone help me please....

That's correct. The iPhone does not support the file transfer protocol. The only supported option with a computer is tethering using BlueTooth. The only other supported connections are for hands-free and A2DP devices.

IPhone 5c Bluetooth Car trouble

I have an iPhone 5c and I'm having trouble with the Bluetooth in my car. It will pair fine but when I play music through my stereo, it keeps skipping and cutting out. Help?

Hello 911SC,
It may help to force close all open apps and reset your iPhone.
Force an app to close in iOS
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you're still unable to connect via Bluetooth, or the clock doesn't properly update, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

Iphone 5C bluetooth car

I cannot pair my iPhone 5C with my car bluetooth connection. Using my iPhone 4 there was no problem but it doesn't work with the iPhone 5. What is the solution, please?

In my 2012 Prius I go to the Settings in the car, Bluetooth, tap on the iPhone, and there I can choose what features of Bluetooth I want to use. I don't know if the 2013 is the same, but I suspect it is.

Pairing phone with Bluetooth car connection
