Connecting iPhone to Sony Xplod in car

Hi!
I'm having issues connecting my iPhone 4 to my new sound deck (Sony Xplod MEX-BT3850U). I've followed all of the steps in the user manual for the deck and the bluetooth light is lit up, but the iPhone keeps searching and doesn't find the stereo. I'm using OS 4.1, and I've also tried using a 3G and a 3GS but none of them recognise it.
Any ideas?

Hi dcrognale,
I have a Sony MEX-BT3800U, and i thought that this connection could not be made coz i tried it with the first iPhone years ago. thank you for the post. Do u mind sharing how u reset ur car stereo?
thanks

  • Solution to connect iPhone 6p Bluetooth to your car

    I finally got my new iPhone 6plus to connect to my car. I have a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe (hopefully, this solution may work for any car, but I dunno). In my Hyundai's bluetooth settings, I erased any and all phones that had been paired with the car. (Apparently, my car kept trying to connect the old phone.) After erasing the old phone I was able to pair the new iPhone 6p to my car. In short: delete all old phones from your car's bluetooth memory and your new iPhone 6p should work.

    Try 0000 or 1234. If that doesn't work call the closest Mercedes dealership.

  • IPhone doesn't ring in car with built-in bluetooth with OS4.

    I have the iPhone 3Gs...updated completely to the latest OS, but when I updated to OS4, the bluetooth in my Nissan Versa no longer rings. The phone doesn't ring with an incoming call, and the car's bluetooth doesn't ring. The only way I know there is an incoming call is if the radio or cd or auxillary (iPod) is playing, the music shuts off and the display says telephone. If there is nothing playing on the speakers, there is no notification of an incoming call.
    I have deleted the phone from the car's program and re-added it, but it doesn't change anything. Is there anyone else with this same problem?
    It's very frustrating and I'm waiting for a fix.

    ohh boy! i hope i wont have this problem when i get my iphone 4 next week but when i purchased the ipod touch i couldnt even synch it with my friends similar ipod (when we both had bluetooth on).
    i went to a apple store and the genius guy told me the bluetooth only synch with apple stuff - well that was incorrect because i still cant synch with my friend´s ipod nor my home mac mini pc!
    that is why i always had nokia phones so far, because i rely a lot on bluetooth (photo and music transfer) but lately i found a nice ebay deal for an ipad and an iphone 4 ...so i took the chance on getting them but i find now that they dont synch!!!
    i hope the latest upgrade OS4 will solve all this (maybe i wont even upgrade and try it first with old OS from factory) because i need to listen to my ipod itunes and make/receive calls handsfree from my sony xplod bluetooth car radio.
    no matter how old is my poor 2001 renault clio 1.2 this is not a reason for apple not to dwell on this worldwide problem - the only option left is to plug a 3.5 male/male cable from headphones to aux!

  • My Sony Xplod car stereo no longer operates my iphone.

    I bought a Sony Xplod car stereo about a year ago. It's advertised to dock with the Iphone and for a year has done exactly that. Since the last iphone update though it no longer works correctly. I'm certain it's the iphone software not the stereo as that works fine. I've updated the phone, tried switching it off and back on, restored it, everything. Any suggestions?

    In another thread on this issue, Brendan writes:
    Turns out restarting my car and/or rebooting my iphone "fixed" the issue. Apparently this was unrelated to the iOS 7.2 upgrade. Honda + iPhone has been rock solid (even if the Honda Fit UI is terrible), so I'm not sure what to make of this problem. Maybe a glitch? Who knows.
    Here is the URL for that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25211736?ac_cid=tw123456#25211736
    His suggestion worked for me: turn off your car, completely shut-off your phone and let it sit a few minutes. Then reboot phone and start car and try again.
    Good luck!

  • Charge iphone 3gs using car stereo USB sony xplod

    i am using my car stereo [sony xplod] for playing music via bluetooth, can i recharge my phone using USB in built with stereo, is it safe?

    The iphone and ipod are not the same device.
    Perhaps your car stereo supports ipod and not iphone.  Check with the manufacturer of your car stereo.

  • Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

    iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

    After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
    1) I made a backup
    2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
    3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
    And voila, it worked.

  • My Iphone 6 (8.1.2) is very slow and sluggish to response whenever it is connected any bluetooth devices ex. my car audio or bluetooth headsets

    My Iphone 6 (8.1.2) is very slow and sluggish to response whenever it is connected any bluetooth devices ex. my car audio or bluetooth headsets
    The moment I disconnect the bluetooth , the phone turns normal again. This happens when i awaken the phone and try to access the home screen, this takes almost 4 to 5 seconds at times.
    Is anyone facing similar issues, Please advice

  • Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

    I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

    The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either.  I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update.  Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told.  Thank you for posting.  I know now that I am not the only one.  Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8.  I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6.  I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

  • I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

    I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

    I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

  • My iphone 6 will not connect to the sony srs-x5 bluetooth wireless speaker.

    my iphone 6 will not connect to the sony srs-x5 bluetooth wireless speaker.

    There ware some issues with iOS 8, 8.0.1, and 8.0.2, regarding bluetooth. Have you updated to 8.1? Forget the speaker in bluetooth settings, and update. If you are up to 8.1, try to forget the speaker, and reset all settings and attempt to pair again.

  • My Droid Razor HD updated yesterday. Now it will no longer connect to the bluetooth in my car

    Yesterday I accepted the update for my Droid Razor HD. Now it will not connect to the Bluetooth in my car (worked for the previous 8 months).

    Christin - Generally your pairings will still be in a list under BT on your phone. Unless of course, you performed a Factory Data Reset on the phone.
    Your car's radio should have a reset capability. The front panel on my SONY comes off, and there's a reset button there. Do you have documentation that came with the car for the radio, or if an aftermarket radio, for the radio itself? If not, there is generally information on the web that you can Google to find the reset procedure.
    HTH.
