Cannot pair iPhone with hands free car system

I am having trouble with my Merecedes recognizing my iPhone. I paired it and the phone is "authorized" with the car, but when I try to connect the two, the screen for the phone flashes and then disappears saying "no phone". It worked fine with my Blackberry but won't connect to the iPhone. iPhne help says perhaps my car system is not compatible, but it is a 2007 model and the Blackberry 8700 had no problems. Can anyone help?

I have been having the same problems. Do you use a PC or a Mac to sync with your iPhone? I think the problem is with PC's but I am not sure yet. It may have something to do with an apple device driver on PC's. Mine works if I restart the driver in the computer and sync it but I have to do every day.

I phone compatibility with hands free car systems

I purchased an I phone which replaced a Palm Treo 650 (verizon). It worked perfectly.When I am using my in car hands free system, the I phone Tries to work but the voices break up,especially at he beginning. When I am speaking I phone to I phone it is almost impossible to understand the conversation. I phone to land line is better.
I phone to I phone not thru the handsfree is perfect.There seems to be a compatibility problem. My device is bluetooth.

There are several threads on this subject that you can use the search function for... I suggest you make sure to mention what in-car system you are using (car make and model), since this is about the most important piece of information. Also, you might try the forums at edmunds.com that have lots of related threads organized by auto make and model. For me, my Treo 700p worked, but had some issues, with my '07 Toyota/Lexus system. The iPhone works perfectly.

HT204387 Bluetooth hands free car system & PBAP

I have successfully paired via bluetooth my iPhone 5 with my cars built in hands free. In my iPhones bluetooth settings I have gone in to the settings for that device and selected to sync contacts. The phonebook in the handsfree system says it is empty so I can't make calls from the hands free system unless I do it from the phone keypad. I am assuming that because I have the option to sync contacts in the bluetooth settings that menas my car has the PBAP function.

My experience is that the BB bluetooth profile cannot carry out the two things you mention. For part 2 of your question: have you tried out to switch your profile to "no sound" before you enter your car? I am not sure if the ringsound is re-enabled on hands-free profile but it is worth a try.
This is probably not satisfying but maybe someone will work on this for future releases of the OS (eg send ringtone sound via blue tooth like Nokia devices do or enable short message readers via blue tooth)

Cannot pair iPhone with iMac

I have an iPhone 5c, iOS 8.1, and an iMac running Mavericks. I am trying to pair my iPhone with the iMac (via Bluetooth) and it will not let me do so. I just finished reading a post from 2008, stating that it was not possible. Is this true??? I could pair my old flip phone (non-Apple) to it without difficulty. Hard to believe I cannot pair 2 Apple products together.
Thanks,
Glen

iOS devices don't natively support file transfer over BT.
You can use Photo Stream to access all of your pictures from all of your devices.
My Photo Stream FAQ
Depending on which model iMac you have, you may be able to use Airdrop.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
I'd also take a look in the App Stores (Mac and iOS) for apps that will let you transfer pictures between the two devices wirelessly.

Iphone 4 Pairing 2010 Honda Civic with hands free link.

I purchased this vehicle several months ago and paired my iphone with the hands free link with no problem. All the sudden last week I started my car and noticed that the hands free did not connect. I haver since tried numerous things, such as deleting the phone from history from the car system and try to pair again with no success.
The iphone picks up the hands free link system. The hands free link gives the pair code (0000). I enter the code, but then a message on the iphone states the code is correct but the pair was unsuccessful. How can I correct this? Thanks.

Remove the phone from the device list in the vehicle. Remove the vehicle from the device list on the phone. Do a reset on the phone, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, turn Bluetooth on for the phone. Then go into the vehicle and follow the manufacturer's instructions for putting the vehicle into pairing mode. See if you can pair the two devices.
On occasion, devices will not always connect automatically. If after the devices pair this happens, just go into the Bluetooth setting on the phone, locate the listing for the car and tap on it. It should connect then. This will prevent the need to try and pair the two devices again.

Iphone with Parrot 3200 LS Hands Free Car kit: photos for contacts?

Hello,
Is anyone else using the Parrot 3200 LS hands free car kit with your iphone? I have one, and so for it's been great, but I can't figure out how to get the photos associated with my contacts to transfer to the contacts in the Parrot unit. It synced the contacts no problem, just no photos with them. Has anyone been able to get their photos to come up on the parrot unit? How?
Thanks,
Dana

I have had the 3200 LS for 3 months. I havn't seen the photos transfer. Either my Parrot or my iphone does not work right. They will work showing my address book for two or three days then they will not pair for 3 or 4 weeks. I'm in one of those not pairing periods now. The grey symbol is lit. Under bluetooth it shows that they are paired but they don't work. Anyone got any ideas? I'll try working on the photos the next time it decides to work.

IOS5 update for iPhone 4 problem. 2011 KIA hands free telephone system can no longer access the contacts.

My brand new 2011 KIA Optima no longer has the ability to access the contacts on my iPhone4. Everything was working fine under 4.3.5. Is anyone else having trouble with iOS5 and a hands free tel system in their auto? I really miss the ability to verbally access the contacts in my phone while driving. This update has taken a great safety feature away from my ability to drive and speak on the phone.
I have tried the following to no avail.
1) performed a software restore to the phone via iTunes.
2) performed a hard reset to the phone several times.
3) deleted the telephone pairing to the car, performed a new pairing.
4) update telephone to 5.0.1

Only thing I can think of at this point is a full Windows reinstallation. Not actually having the exact same board you have I can't really say for certain that Photoshop CAN work with a 7970.
There is also the possibility that your 7970 is somehow faulty, though you wouldn't think it would work to do the other things you do if that were the case.
All I can say is that I've been doing 3D work all day and the 7850 does work with Photoshop - though to be honest I've had a couple of crashes today when trying to set the color of the 3D Materials. Thankfully Photoshop auto-saved my behind, and when it came back up the same operation to set the material color worked.

Does my iPhone 4 work with Hands Free Profile (HFP)?

My new car is supposed to send/receive text messages via the new fandangled stereo/navigation unit. The manual says the phone must be compatible with "Hands Free Profile (HFP)" or Message Access Profile (HFP)". Does the iPhone4 use/have this? New car is a 2012 Subaru Impreza with the Nav system.
Thanks.

It supports HFP 1.5 (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647).

HT204387 Cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth

I cannot pair iPhone 5 with Toyota Camry Bluetooth. Never had a problem with android

Two things that you need to verify first
1. The first step in troubleshooting any accessory is to determine whether the accessory is compatible with the device. Contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit to see if your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch model is compatible.
2. Verify that both your car kit and your iOS device are running the latest software versions. To verify that your car kit is up to date, please contact your automotive manufacturer or the manufacturer of your aftermarket head unit.
Also follow the Link. hope this helps.

Hands Free Car Kit Problem

I Have A Parrott Hands Free Car Kit - Paired To My Iphone Version 3.01 14.6 gb
The Problem is I Cannot Answer Hands Free I Have To Slide To Answer
No Problem Dialing As The Settings Are Basic I Cant Find The Solution
Any Ideas Pls
Tks

In November I replaced my vehicle with one which has integrated bluetooth phone within the stereo system (2010 model Landrover). My previous Nokia N95 work perfectly with it and was so much clearer than the previous car kit.
However, since upgrading? to the iphone on Orange (late November) when in the vehicle the connection between phone and car kit is lost way too often and the radio screen says "no network".
I spoke to Landrover who say it's not their problem (probably right as the N95 worked fine).
Any ideas would be welcome

Hands-Free Car Options using AUX connection

Looking at hands-free car options for my wife's iPhone 4s. She has a Honda Civic with AUX jack to the stereo system.
So far, tested two locally available systems:
Belkin AirCast Bluetooth - connecting via Aux jack:
http://store.apple.com/ca/product/H2652VC/A/belkin-aircast-bluetooth-in-car-adap ter
She liked the sound quality through the car stereo, and the option to playback music also, but found the BT control finicky and prone to disconnection/unpairing (guess you need to practice) More particularly, she doesn't like the fact that the stereo need to be set to AUX mode to hear a call coming through. She had the notion that one can be listening to the radio or a CD and the system will automatically interrupt when a call comes in. I explained that whether BT or wired, all of these AUX input systems (to my knowledge) have that limitation.
So I looked at a separate phone speaker option:
Monster Mobile AirTalk Bluetooth Car:
http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=6037
I was quite impressed. Simple to use. BT connection very stable and easily re-established when getting in the car. Fairly good sound quality with adequate volume, considering the size of the speaker (just a little background hiss), but she finds it too tinny.
So, back to the car stereo speaker option. Are there any hands free sets (BT or wired) that will automatically switch to AUX mode, or otherwise allow a received or made call to be heard through the car speakers when it is in another (CD, Radio AM/FM) mode? Or else is there some sort of auto-switching AUX adapter that can be used?
Cheers.

I think I see why the first link 'HD Accessories' pulled their link.
The Lux does not seem to work with the iPhone 3G even though the first link said it was compatible.
The second link now seems to have removed the iPhone 3G from the list.
I would guess this has to do with the charging pin from the now obsolete firewire pin for charging.
Looking forward to see what you find Wheelman....

HT204387 iphone 5 hands free stopped working on my Nissan Juke after oil change?

My iphone 5 hands free stopped working in my 2012 Nissan Juke after I took it into dealership for an oil change. I could see calls coming in on the car display screen and the call connects but caller can't hear me and I can't hear them. I took my car back to dealer and left my phone and car with them for a full day but they told me it was an iphone issue. I tried removing and adding my phone again but it hasn't helped. I can still hear music when I connect the phone w/ the usb port. Anyone else have this problem?

Delete the pairing form the device and the vehicle.
Pair the devices again.
