Bluetooth connectivity to a nuvi gps

my original iphone pairs with my nuvi gps unit but then the nuvi shuts down
when i unpair the unit works fine... my firmware on the nuvi gps is up todate
any one else have this problem

There is an update from Garmin to v5.0, I had the same reboot issue until I applied the 5.0 update. Since then my 285WT and iPhone get along great.
Hope this helps.

MBP Bluetooth connection to Garmin nuvi

Good morning, everyone!
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to pair my MBP (C2D) with my Garmin nuvi 660 gps unit. Rather, I've been able to pair the two devices, but the nuvi expects to be paired to a phone, so it doesn't recognise the MBP or any files I try to send. Basically, I want to be able to send image files and mp3's to the nuvi.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? (I've also posted this question on a couple of gps boards.)
Thanks!

I have the same problem. I think that neither of the companies have the will to solve this issue. I have always been a fan of Nokia, so this is really disappointing.

I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

6230i Bluetooth Connection to GPS

I cannot connect my 6230i to a Falcom NAvi 1 GPS. The Nokia see's the GPS but cannot pair to it saying security failed. The Falcom GPS pairs successfully to my Siemens 720 PDA. The falcom manual ( http://www.haid-services.de/assets/own/navi-1-user-manual.pdf ) says that a code of 1111 is required if a secure connection is selected which I tried.
It seems that the falcom will work without a secure connection however it appears the Nokia does not support this.
How do I get the two to communicate!

Did reset the GPS. Tried using an older Nokiaof my friends and it actually completely resets when trying to establish a connection with the Falcon GPS!. Shows you that Nokia software skill leave a lot to be desired. I suspect Nokia conlu works with a secure connection to any bluetooth device and the gPS does not allow secure connections.

IPhone and Garmin Nuvi GPS

Besides my Motorolla headset, I managed to pair my iPhone to my Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS with no problems. This particular Nuvi model as well as some other Garmin models have Bluetooth built in. The benefits of this device is that besides the wonderful Nuvi GPS features, the device is also a car kit with speaker and microphone. What I found quite remarkable was that during the pairing, the entire phonebook I have on my iPhone came over as well. So, when someone on that list calls, their name comes up on the touch screen. Or if you want to call someone, either click through or search the directory on the Garmin. Very cool.
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

iPhone works with my Garmin Nuvi 360 via bluetooth, downloaded address book and all, but after a day or two the connection stops working (iPhone says they’re paired, but Nuvi doesn’t show phone icon) and I have to manually set up the connection again. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks.

IPad 2 won't Bluetooth link to BT-Q818XT GPS. Help?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to pair my recently acquired Qstarz Bluetooth GPS (BT-Q818XT) with my iPad2. However, no amount of tries following the directions has allowed the iPad2 to establish a Bluetooth connection. I am new to the world of the iPad2, and would love to get it functioning as a moving map in one of my aviation apps.
Anyone who has a suggestion, your help would be greatly appreciated.

You are in some luck. Google "GNS 5870 MFI". It is a Bluetooth GPS that works with iPad. Cost $99.99 on most sites. There is also a product called "Bad Elf" that connects to the docking pins that gives GPS functionality to the iPad. I own neither so can't vouch for them but there are quite a few reviews for both products. Good luck!

IOS 8.1.2 car bluetooth connection

I have lost the Bluetooth connectivity in my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe since I updated my phone to iOS 8.1.2. I have tried to reset car Bluetooth features as well as on my phone. Nothing seems to work. Is anyone else having issues and are there any solutions?

Similar to VroomVroom: I have iphone 5s, was on iOS7, went to iOS 8.1.2, and I didn't notice that I had lost a specific bluetooth connection: Garmin Smartlink - Live Traffic App. The Garmin Smartlink uses bluetooth to connect to the aftermarket Kenwood DNX891HD I have in my car, this comes with a Navigation GPS included. The Garmin Smartlink app (Live Traffic) provides immediate traffic updates if your city is covered, and my city Cincinati OH is covered. This was all working fine before I upgraded the iOS on the iphone 5S. I read another article related to "carkit" connections between iphones and car stereos (for both NAV and also hands-free) - here is the key point and my theory: Only ONE bluetooth connection can be supported at a time. In my case - the hands-free telephone (thru car microphone and car stereo speakers) works fine, and I believe this is also "shared" by Pandora App (from iphone to Kenwood). So, my theory is the iphone will not connect to the Kenwood for the Nav, since it is already connected to the Kenwood for the audio (Pandora and hands-free, I think these two "share" the same bluetooth connection, and I think the Smartlink connection is separate). I messed around this morning in the parking lot at work, and my attempts to "forget" and "pair" the iphone and Kenwood would continously start playing Pandora, but the Smartlink still will not connect (when it dis work, I would see a green circle with two cars on my Nav map screen, indicating the smartlink connection and also status of the traffic). My next test this afternoon will be to delete Pandora app on the phone, try forget / pair again and see if I can get Smartlink to work. If this works, I'll reinstall Pandora App and try to get it back as well. My past 24 hours of skimming articles (don't ya love the internet !) seems to indicate that I am not the only person with bluetooth problems due to the iOS 8.1.2 update....hey Apple...where's 8.1.3 to fix this ?

Macbook Pro bluetooth connection to iPhone 4.

I just purchased a Macbook Pro (latest edition) and it will not establish a bluetooth connection with my iPhone. Keep receiving the following error: The bluetooth network is unavailable... I check the phone and I have the bluetooth turned on. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Unfortunately, although you can Pair the iPhone with your MBP it only offers a limited range of functions and you can't connect to it as a network device. Don't ask me why Apple have crippled it this way ...
Mine connects happily to my GPS and two helmet headsets and, while it's been paired and shows:
AVRCP Device
Audio Source
Handsfree Gateway
PAN Network Access Point
Phonebook
PnP Information
Service Discovery
Wireless iAP
It always comes up "Blutooth Network Not Available" when I try and connect.
You should be able to pair if you run Bluetooth setup Assistant though ?
If you're after 'tethering' i.e using the iphone as your Internet access then this is dependent on your ISP allowing/enabling it. On the iPhone open Settings/Network and turn Personal Hotspot On and it will show you the password for connection. On the MBP (System Preferences/Network) you will then see 'yourname's iPhone' as a connection option for your current location and you can enter the password there - but be aware that carrier data charges and plan limits will apply! My 2GB mobile plan data gets eaten very quickly this way.

TS2634 Bluetooth connectivity problems

My bluetooth connected Garmin Glo Gps no longer works properly after updating ios. It showls the device is connected, but doesn't function when using moving map programs such as foreflight or garmin pilot. I'm using ios 6.1.2. It works with other ipads.

Actually, it's the other way around: Bluetooth interferes with wi-fi

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

Lenovo A1-07 Ideapad Tablet Bluetooth connection

Nokia C5-03/Win7 Bluetooth connectivity problem

When I am trying to connect Nokia Ovi Suite to my phone using Bluetooth, the pairing process seems to succeed, except the last phase: Then I receive a message that the connection did not succeed. The wizard gives then a possibility to try again with a different ID but it fails every time.
It is the same problem if I try to pair the phone from computer's Bluetooth icon in the notification area. However, with using my laptop with XP this succeeds. Therefore I believe that my phone is OK but there is something wrong with my Bluetooth software in Win 7 computer. Nokia Ovi Suite lists it:
- Microsoft (Version: 6.1.7600, subversion: 16385)
When I start the computer, the Event Viewer shows the following error:
"The Bluetooth driver expected an HCI event with a certain size but did not receive it."
Source: BTHUSB
EventID: 5
The Microsoft's "Event Log Online Help" onthat window does not suggest anything.
However, this may be the actual reason for the problems but I do not know how to fix it.
I have tried Microsoft's "Fix it" tool but it did not fix this problem.
Any ideas what to do?

Still the same problem.
Now I installed the Nokia PC Suite and I tried to make a bluetooth connection to it.
Everything goes again well except after the last phase when I give the asked pin number in my phone, the computer ponders a while and shows then a window with the text that the phone cannot be verified.

How do I connect my Centro to the Internet via bluetooth over PC's Internet? Where is Centro's PPP Connection Type? How do I setup Login Script for bluetooth connection?

I am trying to set up bluetooth on the Centro to connect to the internet via my PC's internet.
HotSync over bluetooth works successfully.
Computer specs: Toshiba P205-S6277; Bluetooth Stack v5.10.04 (currently using); Bluetooth Monitor v3.01 (to use Vista's built-in bluetooth)
I think I have narrowed my problem down to 3 things.
(1) Finding Network Access properties (to allow connected devices to access the internet)
(2) Finding Centro's Network Connection Type: PPP
(3) Finding the correct Login Script to use
for (1) I think I've looked everywhere; found nothing on Network Access.
Checked control panel: only Bluetooth Local COM
Right-clicked bluetooth icon > Settings: File transfer, PAN Networking, PAN DHCP server, AV controls. Other bluetooth settings are for file transfer or object push. I don't see anything like this.
I'm stumped on (2). It seems as if palm removed this option under Centro's Advanced network settings .
Nearly all the forums that I read says to choose Connection Type: PPP.
(3) Found 2 scripts that seemed would work. I don't know how it exactly works but it sounds workable.
First script:
Send: CLIENT
Send: CLIENT
Wait for: CLIENTSERVER
End:
Script 1 Connect Log:
=======================================
Connect Log
S: client
S: client
R:
Err: 0x121F <<<netErrUserCancel b/c I canceled it.
Not connected
========================================
I canceled it because the process would stay on "Signing In" then it automatically "Canceled" itself.
Second script:
Send CR:
Delay: 1
Send: CLIENT
Wait For: CLIENTSERVER
End
**UPDATE** I found on this forum (Reply # 3689) that the script is needed only if you are using Palm OS 4 or under. Centro uses Palm OS 5.49121. Can anyone support this?
Even without the script it has problems "Signing In".
I'm currently reading this site and trying out its decribed methods. I will update this thread when I get the results.
I'm using the Centro. And If anyone's been able to successfully connect to the internet on the Centro via a bluetooth connection to the PC WITHOUT 3rd party applications, please share. If not, please share any ideas.
Thanks!
-Eric

I've been going at this for days, and have probably exhausted all the proposed solutions on the first 3 pages of various google searches. I'm getting the feeling that Vista users are pretty much SOL for the time being.
For the record, I just tried out a few of the solutions (mRouter & SoftickPPP) on XP and they work perfectly.

Bluetooth connection fails iOS 8.1

My iPhone5s cannot make a Bluetooth connectivity with any of my Macs(MBA mid-2013, iMac late-2012, MacPro) all running Yosemite 10.10. Prior to upgrading to Yosemite the same iPhone running on iOS 7 did make successful bluetooth connectivity. My iPhone5s is on 8.1. Surprising even though it cannot have connectivity, it sees and stay connected for a second or two and then will say "Not Connected". But the same phone connects with Blueant S4 handsfree Speakerphone - except that I have to make a connection each time. In the past, it used to connect automatically when I was in the range of my device.
Yes, I have tried reset PRAM, SMC resets on my Macs, powered OFF and ON my iPhone5s and even reset my NW connection. In addition, I have other iPhones in my family and none can make connection to Macs which run on Yosemite(tried 4s, 5 and even 6). But the same iPhones make successful BT on Macs running Mavericks and Mountain Lion(yes one MBP still exists). So I am guessing it is changes in Yosemite that is causing the problem. Because I am going through this problem - my family members who have Macs do not want to upgrade to Yosemite as they depend on BT connectivity for their external devices. I don't blame them, but sounds very silly to me that Apple messed up big time with BT connectivity. I see many reporting similar issues, but for many resetting PRAM and/or SMC they have been successful.
Any help would be appreciated. Again I am not referring to Handoff (which it is working for me) but I am interested in BT connectivity with Yosemite. This is important because external BT devices need to be connected(Headphones, Earbuds etc).

I went to the Apple store yesterday because I was having the same issue in my Honda Accord after I updated to iOS 8.1.1. The very helpful rep there suggested that I go to Settings -> General -> Reset on my phone to reset my iPhone 5 General Settings. She said that it's like an oil change for the phone that cleans out a lot of the junk. After doing this, I was able to stream both my music and Pandora in my car again.
Note: When you reset the General Settings, you will lose your phone password and background image (not a big deal). You will NOT lose your pictures, video or emails.
Hope that helps!

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.
