Bluetooth and iPod connections in car

I have an Acura TSX, which I did pair with an iPhone at the store with no problems. My question is, how does it work with the auxilary input? Will the car stereo play the iPod, if the iPhone is paired with the car? and will the audio stop when a call comes in as the radio or a CD does?
thanks!!

How do you in xcode search devices in bluetooth and stablish connection other devices with iphone or ipad

hi everyone
how do you in xcode search devices in bluetooth and stablish connection other devices whit iphone or ipad ?
the all answer is good
and the source is enable for all

Bluetooth on iOS has three different functions:
o user level features -- For example, headsets. There is no developer opportunity here (well, you can play audio that comes out the headset, but you know what I mean :-).
o networking -- You can establish a PAN network to other iPhone OS devices with GameKit (going away) or Bonjour.
o accessories -- All Bluetooth accessory developers must go through the Made for iPod program. Once you have an MFI device you can then talk to it through ExternalAccessory framework.

All of a sudden my personal hot spot isn't working. It only comes up with Bluetooth and USB connection options. Why would that be?

No I can not turn on the wifi either. I can get on the web on my phone and Facebook etc on phone but no wifi or hotspot

Ihave computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync?

I have my computer and ipod connected but they will not sync. How do I get them to sync.? I have done the previous action before but now I have a new ipod because my other ipod was stolen.

Actually this happened to me today and although it would not let me play the file it allowed me to use that same file i had exported from iphotos but could not play and then it allowed me to open it in imovie (you can go to import and then get it from the desktop or wherever) although I made a couple of changes to it the main thing is once you drag it into the space to begin a new project you can then right click and select open in finder and that file actually plays......if its cause i made some changes to it i.e trimmed it slightly then its worth doing so.

Problems with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Car Stereos

There are three cars in our family, and every car as a stereo with built-in iPod interfaces. Car 1 has a Pioneer system, Car 2 has a Kenwood, and my car has an Alpine system. I can't hear any audio when I connect an iPod touch or iPhone 3G to the Kenwood and Pioneer systems. They can perform functions on the iPhone/iPod touch, such as change songs, randomize songs, repeat songs, etc, however, there is no audio. 80% of the time the Alpine does the same thing; 10% of the time an error is displayed on the head unit; and 10% the iPod Touch/iPhone works perfectly.
All three systems can operate my iPod Nano correctly without any problems at all. Because the same problem occurs to all the stereos and because the iPod Touch and iPhone are basically the same minus phone capabilities, I am beginning to believe that the problem is with them and not the stereo systems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how can I fix it if it is fixable?

Which Touch (first or second generation) and which iPhone (2G or 3G)?
And what generation Nano are you testing with.
Your auto systems may not be compatible with the newer generation model iPods/Phones.

Ipod connected to car iPod ready deck

I have an iPod that is connected to my car iPod ready stereo. It is connected via an aftermarket product. My question is, is it ok to leave myiPod connected 24x7 in my car? Will it drain the battery faster? Will it damage my ipod?

It depends. On mine, when the car unit is turned on, the iPod battery receives a charge and does so whilst it's in use. When the car unit is turned off and I leave the iPod connected, it shuts down, so according to the manufacturer of my car head unit, it's ok to leave the iPod connected 27/7. Does yours do the same? You should check with the maker of your car unit.
However, I don't leave my iPod in the car 24/7 for other reasons, one of which is that I don't want it to be stolen. Also so it's not subject to temperature extremes.

Options for aux and ipod connection to a 2006 Buick Rendezvous

Hello and thanks in advance for your help.
I have a 2006 Rendezvous that I would like hardwired into the factory radio. It has a 6 disc changer but no Monsoon enhanced system. What options do I have? Thanks!

Hi Pbober,
If you want to hardwire your ipod into your car, I'd really recommend stopping at your nearest Best Buy and talking to the install bay techs. I think there are a couple of options on where to put the aux connection and I'd hate to steer you in the wrong direction. Talking to the tech will be the best route to take.
Thank you,

Ios 4 3gs Now will not play through my usb/ipod connection on car stereo

With new ios4 I cannot get my 3gs to play through my car stereo's ipod connection (usb)anymore. os3.1 or whatever the old os was worked fine. The car stereo controlled the tracks, artists, etc.. Now I plug the phone in and get a message saying it is not optimized to work with the stereo and may be subject to noise and interference, then the only option to click is "dismiss" and will not work. Any ideas? I tried the re sync and still will not work.

The method used to recognize the USB device has a clever bit of code in the firmware to improve the connect time once the initial handshake with the device has been established. So after the update to iOS4, the host device (Car Stereo) still thinks that it is connecting to the un-updated client device (iPhone prior to updating to iOS4) The updated client device (Your iPhone with iOS4), must fool the host device (Your car stereo), into believing that it is an entirely new device. This is done by connecting your iPhone to the stereo head USB port with the iPhone switched off completely. This is achieved by holding down the top power button on the iPhone until the red slide bar comes up and prompts you to shut the iPhone down. Do this and then with the car stereo switched on, plug the iPhone into the USB socket and wait till the iPhone starts of it's own accord. If it does not start, press the top power button on the phone until it starts. This will force the host device (Your car stereo) and the client device (Your iPhone) to re-negotiate the handshake between the devices and get you back to where you will once again be happy.
Now we can all stop beating up both the Car Stereo manufacturers and Apple and focus on being civil gentle folk that enjoy discussions about how clever we all are to be able to use amazing technology to get ourselves over-stressed and irritable.

Nokia Lumia 1520 - Bluetooth and Data Connectivity...

Hi - i recently updated my Nokia lumia 1520 with a new firmware that Nokia tool told me being available. after that i have consistantly having bluetooth connectivity issues and Data connectivity issues.
i have a Jabra Clipper bluetooth headset which . i am no longer able to pair it. it detect and says jabra clipper, then starts pairing, then simply says couldn't connect.
if i have wifi on, if i go out of range of the WIFI signal, my data connection stops working as well. this is 100% of the time. i have to reboot my phone to get data connectivity back.
Its on Lumia Cyan
manufacturer name: RM-937-im_mea3_1019
core build id: 7030.80
bsp release: 2061.0066
applicatoin versoin: 3.11.2.1
build creation date: 7/8/2014
from Nokia software recovery tool:
Product Code: 059V479
Software Version: 02061.00066.14253.40002

Because I am just an end-user like you and I do not have your hardware combination here, I can only give general advice. Could be a new interoperability issue between these two devices, introduced with Lumia Cyan. Could be a old wrong pair-key. Or could be interfering between your Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (Bluetooth Adaptive Channel Hopping). Therefore, let us start with the Bluetooth part:
on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Wi-Fi » Off (to avoid any interference)
on the Nokia Lumia 1520, Settings » Bluetooth » On
(status: paired) tap and hold your Jabra CLIPPER » delete (if paired already)
on the Jabra CLIPPER, press and hold the multi-function button until the indicator light is solid blue (approximately 6 seconds) to activate the paring mode
Your Bluetooth headset should appear in your phone now. After you tapped on it, it should be paired successfully. Does it?
If not, start over again and between step 1 and 2, power off both Jabra CLIPPER and Nokia Lumia 1520.
If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, please hold volume down + power until the Nokia Lumia 1520 turns off (soft reboot; do not forget to set your date/time afterwards).
If it still does not work, start over and between step 1 and 2, turn off your Wi-Fi access point.
Does it work now?

HT4623 how can i fix the problem on ios 6.1.3 in my bluetooth and wifi connection?

how can i fix the problem on mi ipad mini. When i updated the ios to 6.1.3 the bluetooth and wifi didn't work properly.

Hey maricel737
There are two different articles that go over troubleshooting steps for solving issues with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This first one goes over Wi-Fi on your iPad:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
This next one outlines suggestions for Bluetooth on your iPad:
iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
On the Bluetooth one, I'd just skip ahead to the "Additional Information" section where the troubleshooting steps start.

IPhone 4: Since iOS5 Bluetooth issues when connected to car hands free and audio system

Hi @ all,
this discussion is either a kind of "warning" for those who hadn't yet updated to iOS 5 and a beg to Apple for fixing the issue:
Obviously the iOS 5 does have some problems with VW and Ford (germany) modells equipped with handsfree and audio systems (googling a little bit resulted in many, many complaints in german discussion forums about it). Unfortunatelly I'm facing these problems now too:
Issue 1:
When the iPhone is connected to the audio-system of the car via Bluetooth, the Audio Slider on the iPhone doesn't work any longer. The only thing that it is capable to do is, if you slide it completely to the left, which results in switching the audio completely off.
Issues 2 (much more annoying):
When the iPhone is connected to the handsfree system of the car, the ringtone volume is obviously set to "off" or at least "extreme low". This doesn't harm when using the phone with the handsfree since the ringtone still is coming from the cars loudspeakers. But as soon as you leave the car and the bluetooth connection is disconnected, the ringtone audio on the iPhone is STILL set to "off". Means: Each time, when you leave your car, you have to increase the ringtone volume manually.
Issue 1 is more a "not nice" or a "OK, it's first release" bug. But issue 2 would have been a reason for me to wait for upgrading to iOS 5, since I'm using my iPhone as a business tool and am quite frequent on travel.
To verify that I hadn't had a bug when upgrading for the first time my iPhone, I completely set my phone back to factory default, put it in maintenance mode and re-flashed it completely anew using iTunes. I only performed minimal setup to make sure, nothing else could cause this. The issue still remained, therefore it was clear to me, it is iOS 5. I never had any of these issues with iOS 3 und 4. A probable "workaround" would be a downgrade, but this doesn't work, as known, either.
@ Apple Engineering: Please fix this as soon as possible!
Cheers,
Frank

Good question... I haven't found a "reliable" way of sending constructive(!) Feedback to those at Apple who really care. I remember the beginning days of Mac OS X, when the reply-link was even on top of the dock.
Maybe I'm just not aware of working feedback channels, I only can hope that some of Apple's people with "influence" read statements like this...
Cheers,
Frank

IPod connection to car not working?!

My iPod Nano (not sure if it's 4th Gen or not... not sure how to tell sorry) will not work with my car stereo anymore Up to a few days ago we hooked it up to our Honda (has a USB port in the arm rest) and it played through the car stereo. Today we went to use it and it recognizes the iPod, shows the song name on the stereo display but no sound comes out (the volume is up). We tried my nephews iPod and it works with sound, we tried connecting the earbuds to my iPod and there is music... so I'm stuck now because the cord works with another iPod and the headphones work on mine... any suggestions/ideas/help? Am I just not thinking of something? We're travelling so this is important lol
TIA,
Sarah

Hi there, have you guys gotten your problem solved yet?
If not try to reset your ipod. you can reset it by holding the centre and menu button at the same time until the screen displays an aple logo. try that and see if that fixes your problem.
oh by the way to tell if your ipod nano is 4th gen it will look like one of these from the following webpage:

Peace!

IPod connected to car by using a cassette

I have a cassette player in my car.
My old iPod was connected this way and worked just great.
Bought the new iPod (the one with video) and bought a new cassette as the new iPod needed a different connecter for earphones but now I get no sound at all.
Looks like the iPod is playing and the cassette is turning but no sound.

It should normally work, by connect via the iPod's earphone jack (using the minjack)

IBook and iPod connection through Firewire

I looked for a thread on this all over, but couldn't find one, so I'll just post and see what comes out of it. Maybe someone has some idea what is wrong.
I'll try to connect my iPod to my iBook with the Firewire cable that came with it. It won't connect to my iBook. The iPod will charge, but not show up on the desktop or in iTunes. Through USB it's just fine. I know I could just use USB and be fine with it, but my iPod doesn't charge through USB since it's a Third Generation iPod. Any ideas why this is happening would be much appreciated.

I did try connecting my iPod with another Firewire cable. It still didn't work. I also have a Pocketdrive that didn't connect to my computer through Firewire. I do, however, have an external Firewire HD that has it's own power source that connected without any problems.
I found an article at Macfixit that said to reinstall 10.4.3 with the combo updater and then repair permissions. I just tried it and it didn't do any good.

Cellphones, bluetooth and serial connections

I have used a GPRS-connection with my Powerbook connected to my cellphone via bluetooth for a couple of years now. However, I have one problem with this setup - I have several cellphones (A, B, C) and subscriptions (1, 2, 3) and I can only connect with the most recently paired phone. In other words, if I first pair A with my computer and try to connect using 1 it works fine. I then pair B and try to connect through 1 (I have moved the SIM-card for 1 from A to B) it still works fine but when I now try to connect using A, the connection, and this is no surprise, fails. The reason it is no surprise is because the computer still tries to connect using B.
I don't know why this happens, but there seems to be some limitation in Mac OS X/the Bluetooth setup process which only allows it to use the most recently paired phone.
In other words, in the situation described above, the only way to be able to connect using A again is to "unpair" both A and B and the "re-pair" A.
Very annoying. However, after digging around a bit in the Bluetooth prefs I found: Devices tab -> select a phone in the device list -> Edit Serial Ports… where you can add serial ports (two different types of serial ports: "Dial-up networking" as well as "Serial port") for your devices and then make them visible in the Network pref pane. I guess this means that it is possible to add a serial port that belongs to a specific BT-device and then create a network location that uses this port/device and suddenly my problem would have disappeared.
The problem is that this window is unsupported. Yes, I have called Apple Assistance and they specifically says that this window is not supported by them, not even if I paid a technician or engineer at Apple (I support more than 20 users at my company that needs this functionality, hence my eagerness to pay for support). They actually laughed at me when I said I was prepared to pay to have this issue escalated.
Back to my question: I have tried to add both types of ports in different combinations but when I try to connect it still fails. In Mac OS X I get the following error message:
The modem has unexpectedly hungup. Please verify your settings and try again.
and a verbose internet connection log looks like this:

I wonder if just using Network>Configure>Show>Network Port Configurations, then selecting the existing Bluetooth/Serial connection and duplicating it as many times as needed, the editing them wouldn't help... then you could just have a location for eack Phone.
