Cannot Connect to 2011 Chevrolet Traverse Bluetooth System

I recently purchased a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse with a Bluetooth system.  When I try to pair to the system the 4S shows discoverable but I do not see the car on the phone.  Any ideas on how to fix this if it is possible?
Thanks

I have a 2011 Chev Avalanche LS; was able to pair my iPhone 4 and then the iPhone 4S without any issues; worked great. (Yes, unfortunately past tense!)
A couple weeks ago, all of a sudden it started acting up on me.  The handsfree wouldn't work - it started with a call coming through the iPhone only.  I couldn't get iPhone to put the call through the vehicle's system.  "General Motors" selection was available, but wasn't clickable.
I had already had a battery problem with the iPhone 4S and was having it replaced.  New replacement iPhone 4S arrived a few days ago.  Tried to pair it to Avalanche's Bluetooth.  iPhone won't discover Avalanche's Bluetooth.
Tried connection with Blackberry Bluetooth earphone device - iPhone wouldn't discover it.
Tried to pair Motorola cellphone to Avalanches' Bluetooth - discovered once, but Motorola phone wouldn't allow input of 'passkey', so it didn't pair with Avalanche's Bluetooth.  After that close connection, the Motorola wouldn't discover the Avalanche's Bluetooth.
The original iPhone 4S had the latest IOS 5.1.1 installed and worked great - but, it was paired back in Nov 2011, so the iOS would have been a earlier version.
Apple has offered to replace the replacement, though.
But, if we don't know where the problem is - then, I'll probably have the same issue with the new New Replacement!!!
I'll keep you posted!

    What exactly are you trying to achieve by connecting via bluetooth? If you have a tethering plan, that's the only thing that's supported via bluetooth to a computer. It cannot sync or transfer files via bluetooth. Those are not features of the iPhone.

  • I cannot connect to internet after I update system.

    Hi,
    I update my system a few day ago (use systemd to replace rc.d) and I cannot connect internet. I guess my router table is broken, but I cannot find any problem.
    I use ping to try some IP. And I find I connect to local machine only.
    Do I miss some configuration ?

    Hi,
    I have 2 network interface.
    The eth1 is for test only. It is connected to a 8 port LAN switch, and there are 2 NAS connected to this switch.
    I use eth2 to connect to internet, for example, update system. I try to disable eth1, but it is still not work.

  • Lumia 800 cannot connect to my car's bluetooth

    Got my Lumia 800 last week and i'm very happy with it - except for one thing. It refuses to connect to my car's bluetooth hands-free system.
    The car is a Ford Mondeo XR5 (2009), with factory-fitted bluetooth.  I've used several other phones with the car system with no problems, including my old Nokia 6700 classic, Samsung Galaxy S2 and Nokia N9.  These all conenct and work fine.  Just not the Lumia 800.
    I've used Zune to get the latest software for the phone, and have checked bluetooth is turned on (can connect to my laptop OK).
    I've spoken to Ford and they say the car system is working fine, since it can connect to all the other phones OK.  Spoke to Nokia support & they refer me back to Ford .
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Check for updates for your in-car bluetooth system, 2009 hardware is very very old by today's standards, especially since car bluetooth systems are lagging a few years behind other technology by default.

  • Since I upgraded to iOS 6, my connection to my Tahoe's Bluetooth system has been poor.  Any fixes Known?

    When I initiate a call, sometimes it takes a couple of minutes to dial, other times it just quits.  It worked fine with iOS 5, I'm hopeful iOS7 will have the problem fixed.  I've unpaired the iPhone and re-paired it with no change.  It still works fine with my non-iOS "dumb phones"
    Does anyone else have this same issue and have you found a fix?

    Hello Ronald295,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    Begin troubleshooting with these preliminary steps.
    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.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Cannot connect 6310i to computer with bluetooth

    Could someone please tell me how i connect my 6310i to my computer in order that i can transfer information from the phone onto the computer. I have tried and failed.
    thankyou

    Are you sure you installed the correct version of PCsuite for the 6310i?
    Also, you will need to have bluetooth enabled on both the phone and pc first. On first connection, you will have to pair the two devices first.

    If your location does’t have wifi  use a portable router.

  • HT201205 Problems connecting 5s to ipad via Bluetooth

    Cannot connect ipad and 5s via Bluetooth. Both running ios7.
    Wasted a whole evening with tech support rebuilding both devices with the same outcome.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    Tethering is something completly different. That same support article also says that you can use Peer to Peer bluetooth connections for applications. I also found an application that allows you to send files via bluetooth from my iphone to another or ipod touch or ipad. It is call BlueWaves. Tethering would in theory allow you to connect your iPhone to your iPad and use the internet from the iPhone on the iPad. Apple would not allow this because they have a 3G model coming out. Plus the iPhone is capable of internet tethering but ATT has blocked it from the phones until their network becomes more stable. I hope the information and that application help you accomplish what you would like to.
    Thanks

    Any ideas why iPhone 6 cannot connect to bluetooth in my new 2015 Nissan Altima.
    Thank you.

    To be honest, if you do a search of the forum, you will find a number of posts with problems with the 2015 Nissan Altima. It appears that it cannot pair. This seems to be a problem with the vehicle itself and users have been contacting the manufacturer for updates to the vehicle's system in hopes of correcting this. I suggest you contact your dealer and ask if he has any info from Nissan. They will probably try to get rid of you by saying it is a phone problem, but as I said earlier, there are multiple posts here about issues with the Altima.
