Bluetooth problem with car deck ...

I bought both myself and my wife an iPhone 4 (iOS4.1) this fall (altho mine is ~6 weeks older -- she wanted white ...<g>...), and then bought us each a Pioneer DEH-P6200BT for each of our cars. I had hers installed first, and it continues to work and connect perfectly. Mine, on the other hand, works but I need to force the connection every time I get into the car. I can either use the deck to select the device and initiated the pairing, or I can use the iPhone's bluetooth settings to request the pairing (neither involving the PIN - I just need to give each device a manual poke).
Relative to my wife's working properly, mine should as well -- it's almost as if there's a switch somewhere that I've overlooked. One difference between mine an hers however, is that I have 2 devices listed for my iPhone, a Plantronics bluetooth headset and the Pioneer deck, whereas her iPhone has only the deck. Has anyone noticed automatic pairing problems when more than one device are on the iPhone's list? Is this normal? Please advise ...
TIA & Holidays' cheerios from the Avalon Peninsula

After the ios 4.2 jailbreak today I finally solved 2 of my most annoying problems between iphone4 and the Pioneer BT200.
1) +Always had to manually initate the connection.+ If you drill down into settings, general, bluetooth, connect up the device... then KILL settings (which leaves your phone in a discoverable mode) If jailbroken you can use SBsettings to kill the process. If not jailbroken, you might get lucky by switching apps then toggling off settings in the multitask bar. This will work until you power off the phone, but many people don't bother for weeks at a time.
2)+I use a USB dock cable for ipod, pandora, app interface, but once the bluetooth connected, bluetooth AUDIO took over and killed the docked audio streams.+ A free jailbreak app called Bluetooth profiler allowed me to turn of A2DP (the streaming audio part) per device. Now the dock is free to handle all of the audio and hands free works perfectly.
I'm posting this because googling for WEEKS did not solve both of these issues. Good luck to others. It seems pointless that we need to find cobbled work arounds in 2011 for what should be basic connection options.

  • 9860 Bluetooth problems with car hands-free

    I have a Torch 9860 that has problems with my new 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. I can pair it with the bluetooth in the car, and it will sometimes keep the connection on the next trip, but usually I get a 'connection failed' message.
    If I revert to the previous OS version, the problem goes away. I had to have the phone replaced recently, though, and the problem is back. It works great with a Jabra earpiece, but not with the car. I could do the same downgrade, but I would prefer not to.
    Any ideas, please?
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Another user posted, and it worked for me ... go into the properties of the Bluetooth connection and disable everything except 'handsfree dialing.' You will probably then have to re-pair. You won't get streaming music, but I never use that anyway. Hyunday is supposed to be working on a fix, and gave me a rough date of the end of the month. Good luck!

  • Bluetooth problem with car system -- HELP PLEASE!

    New IPhone owner. Want to/have to use Bluetooth for hands free driving. Efforts to "pair" phone with car's system unsuccessful so far. Help would be appreciated.
    Specs: IPhone 8gb purchased yesterday. Running Version 1.1.3. Vehicle is 2008 BWM X5.
    Advised by BMW Bluetooth techs to try to get download of version 1.1.2 because vehicle's system may not recogize 1.1.3.
    OK, how do I get 1.1.2? If I get it, will it erase 1.1.3 on IPhone? How do I speak to an Apple/Bluetooth/vehicle expert?
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you call Apple Care? They could at least walk you thru the sync. Mine took a few attemps to sync with my Landrover's bluetooth.

  • Iphone bluetooth problem with car stereo

    I bought a third party bluetooth adapter for my car stereo. Hooking it up with any other device ( other mp3 players, my husband's windows phone ) all work and stream music. Pairing it with my iphone 5 causes constant crackling and static like blown speakers. Same with the ipod touch. Is there a setting in the phone that will fix this?
    Thanks

  • Bluetooth problems with car and iOS 8

    Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s I can't get the bluetooth connection working anymore in my Volvo XC60. It pairs but then it doesn't work. Can't receive calls, can't make calls. Nothing happens! It just says "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens. I tried also to pair my old iPhone 4 which has iOS 7.1.2 and that works great, just as my iPhone 5S did before with the iOS 7.1.2 version. So this really seems like an iOS 8 issue, unless something has happened with the bluetooth hardware in my iPhone 5S... Any ideas?

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S under 7.1.2 and they work perfectly with my car bluetooth (Land-Rover).
    I have now an iPhone 5S, that was delivered with iOS 7.1.2 and after updating in OTA mode to iOS 8, it worked fine also with my car.
    BUT I preferred to make a clean install of iOS 8 on the 5S (bad idea ...), and now it does not work anymore, I can pair and connect the phone with the car, but it is impossible to send or receive a call and the car says "no signal" (for GSM network).
    After resetting network preferences, the car sees the GSM network again (but impossible to send or receive a call ...), and after rebooting the phone, the car says "no signal" again (and of course no call).
    I have tried to unpair, pair again, reset again network preference, but no succes.
    I think that obvioulsly iOS 8 is faulty, and Apple guys, if you read me, I think it is really a pitty from Apple to deliver this OS with such bug without giving possibility to downgrade !!! (if possible, I would immediatly come back to iOS 7.1.2, waiting for the fix).
    I HOPE it will be fixed quickly now !!!

  • How to fix the Bluetooth problems with the Treo

    It’s pretty obvious by now that Palm had not intentions of addressing the Bluetooth problems with the Treo smart phones. As for me, I need to reset my Treo 700wx several times a day to keep the bluetooth connection working. At my house it simply does not work because I live in a rural area where my cell signal drops out continuously, only for a moment but that’s all it takes for the Treo loose the Bluetooth connection.
     I’ve searched here on this board for a solution only to find out that I’m not the only one with this problem. I’ve searched the Internet and could not believe the endless complaints about this problem, not a single fix was to be found. I will be going to every single site I can find on the Internet where I can leave a review of this product and I would encourage others with the same problem to do the same.

    The "Mobile Device" you see only shows what is on your Treo when ActiveSync is running and connected.  When it's not connected, there is "nothing".  This is good when you want to copy a file you have saved in RAM (main memory).  Connect your Treo and have Activesync run (successfully, of course).  Then, you will see all the accessible files on your Treo.
    Please read the previous reply (I have added and edited it to respond to some of your questions).  Also, since I have the Card Export 3.14 for the WM5 and 6 running and it works on my Treo 750, I believe it should also work for you.  I have WM 6.  Earlier versions of Card Export actually "broke" Activesync for me.  It wasn't until very recently that I wanted to try it again, in hopes that they have fixed the bugs.  Apparently they have and I now use it to "fix" Activesync when it doesn't want to connect.
    So, the latest version is 3.14 and it supports WM 5 and 6 (although they incorrectly named it Windows Mobile 2005/2006).

  • C7 - Bluetooth connection with car kit - problem

    Hi all,
    Can anyone help me about my problem. I bought new phone Nokia C7 with Anna software and I have a problem with pairing with my car (Bluetooth device Parrot CK3000 Evo). I think that the problem is with phone, because when I paired devices all things work well, but when I turn off the car (Parrot is switched off) and go away, other phones that I previously used disabled connection and can be used normally. But with this phone I see that for the phone connection still present (?!?) The car symbol on display still shown, and when I try to use the phone, I can make call, other people say that they receive calling , but I can't hear them, and they can't hear me. When I manually disconnect Bluetooth device, phone work normally, but when I am in the car again, two devices doesn't initiate pairing, and again I have to do this manually. It' a huge problem for me.
    Is there anyone who have the same problem, or anyone who know how to solve this. I  couldn't find option to solve this from menus.
    Any ideas?
    Unfortunately my warranty doesn't allow me to change software version from 022.014 to another... but if this will help...

    Thank you for your reply,
    Do you think, that the solution is new update for Parrot device?
    As I understand, you still have the problem and your hope is this update eventually.
    Do you read somewhere something about this?
    I have registration in Parrot forum, but I haven't read inside anything about  the problem . It looks, that they never heard about it...

  • Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

    I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect  any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

    Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
    Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
    Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
    Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..

  • IOS6 bluetooth connection with car stereo

    With my iPhone 4S running iOS5, my after-market car stereo bluetooth was able to read my song name, artist name, ect. Now that I upgraded to iOS6 my Kenwood receiver cannot read this data while connected via bluetooth. Since the data can't be read, the steering wheel control to search/skip a song forward or back also no longer works. I tested the car stereo last night with an iOS5 phone and it worked correctly, so I know the problem is related to the bluetooth iOS6.

  • Iphone 4 bluetooth connection with car

    My iphone4 (iOS 4.2.8) pairs with my 2008 toyota Sienna bluetooth; however, it continues to fail and drops connection after a day. It shows it is paired, but I  have to continue to re-pair it to actually get it to work. My ev3 LG phone worked great, so it's not an issue with my car. Any fixes? Is this an iOS problem. I've hear that from the Toyota dealer. They seem hear the issue frequently with iphone users.

    It's not just the bluetooth car radio. Lots of problems with bluetooth stereo overall.. My s305 motorola headphones worked fine until I upgraded recently to 4.3.1 now and it's pretty much unuseable. Practically impossible to get to connect, pair, unpair, reset etc.. Sometimes it will connect but then it pretty much disconnects again after a minute or so. Used to work for me most of the time but it's never been great; now it's abismal.
    Check this thread out for lots of others with the same problem...

  • Wrong Bluetooth connection with car speakerphone

    Yesterday I received in exchange for the Omnia 7 a Lumia 800. The first thing i did was to test the BT Connection to the BT speakerphone in an Opel Astra.  Worthwhile the functions are different between the Omnia and the Lumia. 
    The connection works. But with the Lumia I had no network operator display, no signal strength and can not even call from the car. How can that be for the same operating system? Unfortunately, this point is a big reason for a return of the phone. For me, this is a step backwards, I dare not go into ...
    Is this Problem know?

  • BlueTooth bug with car

    Since the 4.3 update there's a big bug with the bluetooth connection with the car system - it still exists after a factory reset:
    I paired the phone and the car. But every time they connect, I get a message box if I want to grant access to my phone's messages. Even the "Allow always" option does not work and I get asked every time. Very annoying!!

    Hello, I'm having the same issue after updating my Xperia SP to Android 4.3 (12.1.A.0.266). In my car (Mercedes Benz A-Class from 2013) there is a radio called "Audio 20 CD" built in. Every time when I want to get into my car, my smartphone wants a connection request for my messages (SMS).The option "Always Allow" does not work. The phone does not remember the next time. I tried several times a new pairing of phone and car radio and I cleared the cache of the bluetooth-share app and smart connect app, but this didn't solve the problem.  Is there a fix available? With kind regardsThorsten

  • Ios7.0.1 bluetooth connectivty with car stereo not working properly?

    I have updated my Iphone to Ios7.0.1  Before this update connection between my Iphone and car stereo was not an issue.
    Now the only way to play music through this device is to use the iphone. Select track, volume, Etc the hands free buttons on the sterring wheel do not work. I think you will agree this is not acceptable, convenient , or safe to drive. However the phone call option is working perfectly as before. My vehicle is a 6 month old Jaguar XF I have contacted them and they have inspected my car and have assured me the problem is not with my car audio equipment.
    I am a little reticent to do a factory reset on my iphone until all avenues of trouble shooting have been exhausted.
    Can anyone help, advise, or even been experiencing the same problem/

    I have a similar problem with my XF.  I upgraded to 7.0.2 and deleted all my paired devices in the car and on my phone. 
    I reapired the phone and all seemed fine - I could happily make/receive calls.  However the phone will NOT connect to the audio part of the XF and will not play any music or connect via Bluetooth to Audio.  I can see the phone and try and connect but I get the message that the Audio connection has failed.  The phone continues to work normally through the phone setup.
    Previously you could effectively connect a device as a phone and a device as an audio device (or the same device to both phone and audio) but this is no longer possible with IOS7 it seems.  My wife and my son also have iphones upgraded to IOS7 and they cannot connect to audio either. 
    I have tried rebooted, resetting, deleting all settings etc, etc but I am having no luck.
    ANy further help greatfully received.  My XF is a 63 plate and just over a month old.
