C5 Bluetooth Pairing - No option to automatically ...

I am very happy with my C5 but have recently run into a problem having bought a car with a pre-installed bluetooth facility.
Although I have managed to pair my phone with the in-car device I have discovered that I do not have a "paired devices tab" on my Settings/Connectivity/Bluetooth menu. (The downloaded manual on the Nokia website suggests this should be available) As a result I am unable to allow the paired devices to automatically connect without needing me to authorise the connection.
Every time I switch off the ignition I have to re-confirm the connection. My job involves frequent stopping and starting in my vehicle and this has made my phone almost useless as I have to keep getting it out and making two authorisations, firstly the connection & then to accept messages from the other device!
Can anyone please help me before I pull my hair out?
Many thanks
Solved!

I don't know if this will help, but after just 3 weeks my C5 is playing up like everyone elses. I lost connectivity with my in-car bluetooth, then tried it with another device that it had already paired with ok but pairing failed. Said it had detected it but couldn't connect. Tried for half an hour in the car. Then the phone shut down and I coudn't get it to power up. Took the battery out, back in, powered up, and everything started to work again - including bluetooth connectivity.
If you haven't tried it, take the battery out first, then back in and try again.
The firmware on this phone is dreadful, and fails repeatedly, sometimes only fixed by a restart.
I used to have a Samsung - worked faultlessly for 5 years until the screen failed.

  • E7 Bluetooth pairing issue

    My E7 connects as authorized automatically to my PC but not the car bluetooth.
    Everytime I have to go to paired devices and open the New paired device option, re-enter the pairing password of my car bluetooth and connect.
    Next time in the car I have to repeat the same process although the car is set to authorized.
    I did not have this problem with my previous phone Nokia E72 with the car.

    is the maximum list of connected items used up can you remove them?
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • IPhone 5S bluetooth pairing with prius in-car phone Issue

    Let me begin by saying that this is my first problem with any apple device!  EVER!!
    I have an Verizon iPhone 5S, less than 2 months old, with the new OS 8.0.2 update and it will no longer pair correctly with my 2012 Prius V's in-car bluetooth phone.  You try to call someone, it doesn't connect and you can't hang up!!!! Then auto-calls them when you turn the bluetooth on (in the phone)... but doesn't physically make the call on the phone.  Now if the bluetooth in my phone is on, and I even start the car, the car states it's trying to call home.  I have attempted many of the following in different combinations with no success:
    Tried to end the call on the car's interface (it won't turn off), pressed the hang up button on the steering wheel -- nada.
    Restarted Phone
    Turned Car on/off/on
    Removed all pairings and re-paired them together
    Made sure the LTE option was on (the iPhone 6 option, which seems to be relatively successful, for data and voice/voice only/data only is not an option on iPhone 5S)
    Now, my husband has a Droid 4 and it works seamlessly with the bluetooth pairing.  The car does play, through the bluetooth, Audio through the phone.
    I guess I should also state I did NOT have any issues with iOS 8.0 or the 8.0.1 upgrades with pairing with the car's bluetooth technology.  I have checked and my Entune "upgrades" are all up to date. 

    Hello Sorridera,
    The article linked below details a number of steps that can restore your iPhone's ability to correctly connect to your vehicle's Bluetooth system.

  • HT204387 what is the bluetooth pairing default code to connect to bluetooth device (car).

    What is the bluetooth pairing code to connect to bluetooth device (car) for iphone 4 w 7.os

    first you must put your iphone in the discover mode by going to bluetooth on your phone which places it in discovery mode. Them you must go to your car's bluetooth discovery mode and place it in discovery mode. If the phone sees the car and visa versa, the car will give you a code to place into your phone. Once you put the code into the phone the two will be linked. Make sure that your car has "automatic" link set so that your phone will link every time you turn on the ignition. Refer to your car's manual for more help or go to your dealer, they should be able to help you or even do it for you, but you need to know how to be able to discover and then link bluetooth devices yourself because every bluetooth device uses the same discovery formula especially if you want to use your IOS devices to play music through your system using bluetooth.

  • Difficulty Bluetooth Pairing with Lexus HS250

    Hi -
    I took delivery of a new Lexus HS250 over the weekend. The vehicle has a separate bluetooth pairing processes for cell functions and music processes. The phone pairing worked great - the device was quickly discovered and I was immediately able to make calls - but audio process didn't work. The car would not discover the iPhone when I attempted to pair it with the stereo system and I eventually had to cancel the process. Both the car and the phoen support A2DP (or something like that), so I assume it should work.
    My dealer was of little assistance, and also discouraged use of the bluetooth audio integration (due to battery life concerns - which seems a bit strange).
    Any other Lexus owners get this feature to work?
    Thanks,
    Raja

    I am not right in front of my car right now, but after playing around for a bit I found an option to connect bluetooth from car or from phone. I set it to connect from car (though it might have said vehicle) and that has made the connection much better.
    The steps i took were to first pair the iphone as a phone and then connected the phone as a bluetooth audio device using "connect from vehicle".
    I think the key is having the connection start from the vehicle, not the phone.
    The bluetooth connection is just play or pause though - no menu.
    The USB works fine for now, didn't do anything special. I get the initial "not made for this device" warning, but after that it works just fine. The menu isn't great, it reads the iphone, but doesn't always start right where i left off. Also, you can't really search - since it will start playing whatever the top most playlist is.
    I find it works best when I am not already in ipod mode when I plug in the phone. sometimes it will randomly tell me that it has searched the ipod and can't find anything. after that a disconnect/reconnect is usually all i need.
    Also, certain programs will access the dock connector others will only work with bluetooth.
    Sorry for the rambling.

  • Bluetooth Pairing with Microsoft Sync - Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD

    After the upgrade of my father-in-law's phone to KitKat (v 4.4.2) the bluetooth pairing to his Microsoft Sync in a 2013 Ford Explorer no longer works right. After deleting the pairing on the vehicle and then repairing, the contacts do not copy over. It says "downloading contacts, please wait" then comes back a few seconds later saying "no contacts". I've deleted and recreated the pairing on the vehicle twice but I cannot seem to delete it in the displayed devices on the phone.
    I would appreciate any assistance.

        Thanks for confirming Werica. I'm pleased to hear that the bluetooth functionality is still working. This sounds more specific to the hands free bluetooth system in your vehicle. Have you been able to test the device with another vehicle or another bluetooth capable accessory? If the device will works successfully with the others, I apologize our control is limited with a specific vehicle.

  • I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

    I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

    One possibility: 
    How do you know it is searching for other devices?  Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

  • IPad mini retina won't bluetooth pair - even with Apple products!

    my brand new ipad mini retina 128 doesn't bluetooth pair - even with an apple chicklet keyboard (or other keyboards or even with my iphone 5s)!!!!
    what a joke
    I've read posts and tried resetting ipad, bluetooth, peripherals, etc
    any suggestions? again, totally weak on apple's part

    Also, iOS devices will not pair with any other iPhone or iPad as you have found out. They are designed to be paired with bluetooth keyboards, stereos, headsets and, for thethering only, phones and computers.

  • HT1338 Macbook Bluetooth paired but does not connect, how do i fix this?

    Hello,
    I have a Rocketfish Bluetooth device that I use to stream music wirelessly from my Macbook to my stereo.  The macbook and bluetooth pair then connect but once i activate the connection fails.  I've used other devices (ipad) to connect with the Rocketfish and it works so the bluetooth device is funtional so the issue must be on my macbooks end.  Any thoughts on how i can get this to work?

  • HT4882 Option disappeared: "Automatically illuminate keyboard in low light"

    Greetings,
    My backlight keyboard use to work, but now it doesn't and the option to "Automatically illuminate kayboard in low light" is missing.
    1) I have done SMC reset
    2) VRAM Reset
    3) All other top row functions like screen brightness and sound work
    4) if I press option + f5  or option +f6 the keyboard system preferences window opens up.
    5) nothing happens at all when f5 or f6 is pressed alone.
    Did apple remove support for my backlight in Mountain Lion 10.8????

    Hi,
    I am also having the same issue, keyboard backlight is inactive, noway i cam make it active.
    In the key board system prefrence "Automatically illuminate kayboard in low light" is missing too.
    Supersingly it all got started only after i upgraded the OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Even though the latest software update to 10.8.2, it's not been fixed.
    Anyone having any working idea to address this issue?
    Hope apple support will come out with some solution for this.
    Thanks

  • Can't regain Bluetooth pairing after 10.4.11 upgrade.

    I upgraded last week to 10.4.11 and shortly after lost Bluetooth pairing with my Apple wireless keyboard. ? if the upgrade is involved in the malfuntion - but the timing is suspicious. DOZENS of attempts to re-pair the two have resulted only in the need to dig out my ancient G3 usb keyboard.
    What have I tried? Restarting. Shutdown. Unplugging. Logging in and out. Resetting PRAM (which solved the problem of my machine also refusing to sleep after the upgrade - but zip on the Bluetooth front) I have replaced/rearranged the keyboards batteries. I checked the Bluetooth settings and made sure mouse keys are off. I have directed vibes, both loving and apocalyptic, towards Apple Computer.
    Nothing.
    This isn’t the first time Bluetooth has failed. Shortly after the initial set-up - which was slick as snot - it quit, requiring days of frustration for me and a half dozen Apple Care people, a replacement keyboard, and a trip to the shop. As I recall, it was never really established what the problem was, but I pitched my wireless mouse into the trash then and I’m hoping I won’t have to do the same with the keyboard ‘cos I hate cords....
    Has anyone got any magic bullets for this? My machine consistently locates and recognizes the keyboard - it just won’t pair. It either loses the connection or times out.

    I think I may have a similar issue, My Mighty Mouse works intermittently since I updated to 10.4.11.
    Today was the strangest event - I could still point with the mouse but none of the buttons would work.
    I believe I upgraded on 11/16/07, and the mouse connection has been lost a few times, but today I turned it off and on as usual, but the iMac didn't find it again.
    I dug out an old USB mouse, and found that the mouse wasn't listed in the Mouse & Keybaord preference panel. I had to "set-up" the Mighty Mouse again. I decided to dust the mouse, so I shut it off, and again it was not recognized by the iMac until I went to "set-up" the mouse again.
