Ideas for a car stereo/gps/Bluetooth for a 2006 honda accord

I need some ideas on how to get Bluetooth in my 2006 honda accord. I've been looking at car systems with gps and Bluetooth but it seems too expensive. I've also been looking at a Bluetooth device to install in the car. I just don't know how to install it or how to hook up the controls on the steering wheel. I've been to best buy....your sales people aren't that knowledgeable. The geek squad guy was but prices seem a bit high to install everything. I'm looking for opinions or if anyone has done the same to their 2006 honda accord.

alright well lets start off with some basics. are you using an Iphone or apple product? or are you using a android based unit?
with android it is a very big hit or miss on alot of the fuctions for your bt and or streaming music such as display of songs and such.
if you are using an apple device you should be solid, until a new update will make it not function properly. i say this because it seems that everytime there is an update apple gets rid of something that a customer of mine used and now doesn't have. regardless if you are an apple user you should be used to this by now though.

that product above will allow you to integrate into your factory stereo given that the certain radio that you have in your vehicle currently has the ability to. On the back of the box there are a few specifications for the radios to have. I don't have a box with me since i just sold my last one yesterday, but i know it has to have some buttons on the radio, and if they don't have the buttons unfortunately you won't be able to use this device, but on the box you will see those specs. I haven't really ever had a problem with the this module not working in a honda, but GM's and their module i have had some radios that customers have brought be and the device is not compatible with. Swing back into your local best buy ask them about the ISIM51 and getting that installed. yes it is expensive but i know your dash kit alone if you wanted to replace the stereo is wicked expensive also. hope this helps! thanks for the post. and also that price includes installation.
I am a CAR Geek Squad installer tech lead, but my views that i post are my own and not that of best buy. if you like my posts give me some kudos, if you need further help contact your local Geek Squad installation bay!
Please read my posts with a smile, cause thats how I write them.Although i have a cool avatar by my name, I am just a member of the community that works for Best Buy.

I recently purchased a car stereo with Bluetooth capability. I paired my iPhone 4S with it and it wasn't working properly. I went into forget this device. Then found out it was something they did when they installed it. Now it won't pair again. Help

I recently purchased a new car stereo with Bluetooth capability. I paired my phone with the stereo and it wasn't working correctly, did forget this device. Found out it was a problem with the radio. Now it's fixed and my phone won't pair with it again. How can I pair it again?

You will need to put the car stereo back into discovery/pairing mode. That may mean you removing the initial pairing of the device. See the user guide for the radio on how to put the device into discovery/pairing mode, and if necessary, how to remove the original pairing. This support document may also provide you with some assistance. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581

How can I stream music from my ipad2 to my car stereo using bluetooth?

Trying to connect my ipad 2 to my car stereo using bluetooth. Do I/can I do this with or without additional harware?

I don't think it's possible.
If the hyperlink doesn't work, try again. There is a problem at the Apple site.

Connect to Car Stereo trough Bluetooth

Hi.
Today I wanted to purchase a new car stereo, but first I tried to make my iPod touch to pair with one of the many car stereos and I had no luck. Is that feature even available?
Do you know of a radio that is compatible so I can get that one?

Did you try it with an ipod or iphone?
Perhaps I need to set up the stereo before, but I did not do it.
I'll get one anyway and see if it is the stereo settings. The thing that worried me was that the ipod kept looking for devices and found nothing.

Kenwood Car stereo lost bluetooth connection

I have a kenwood car stereo and it never consistantly connects to my blue tooth phone. I will get HF Disconect and then it will never conect again. I have tried to delete my phone and re pair it but that doesn't work. I am not sure how to get my phone and the stereo to connect once it seems to have lost the pairing.

Please reference your manual for instructions on pairing your phone with the HU...

Connecting to my car stereo via bluetooth?

Hi guys,
Considering getting an iPhone 3G, but before I do so, will I be able to use it with my car stereo to talk hands free with?
Thanks

It should work if your stereo supports the hands free protocol.

Ios 8.1.1 bluetooth drops connection with Honda Accord

My iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.1, when paired with the audio system in my 2014 Honda Accord will drop the connection after 1 minute when using the AHA app. Also, when I use Bluetooth as the audio source in the car, it will recognize my iPhone, but ignores any request to select music from the phone. These functions worked earlier with my iPhone 4S and IOS7. Is there a temporary fix for these issues?

Similar to VroomVroom: I have iphone 5s, was on iOS7, went to iOS 8.1.2, and I didn't notice that I had lost a specific bluetooth connection: Garmin Smartlink - Live Traffic App. The Garmin Smartlink uses bluetooth to connect to the aftermarket Kenwood DNX891HD I have in my car, this comes with a Navigation GPS included. The Garmin Smartlink app (Live Traffic) provides immediate traffic updates if your city is covered, and my city Cincinati OH is covered. This was all working fine before I upgraded the iOS on the iphone 5S. I read another article related to "carkit" connections between iphones and car stereos (for both NAV and also hands-free) - here is the key point and my theory: Only ONE bluetooth connection can be supported at a time. In my case - the hands-free telephone (thru car microphone and car stereo speakers) works fine, and I believe this is also "shared" by Pandora App (from iphone to Kenwood). So, my theory is the iphone will not connect to the Kenwood for the Nav, since it is already connected to the Kenwood for the audio (Pandora and hands-free, I think these two "share" the same bluetooth connection, and I think the Smartlink connection is separate). I messed around this morning in the parking lot at work, and my attempts to "forget" and "pair" the iphone and Kenwood would continously start playing Pandora, but the Smartlink still will not connect (when it dis work, I would see a green circle with two cars on my Nav map screen, indicating the smartlink connection and also status of the traffic). My next test this afternoon will be to delete Pandora app on the phone, try forget / pair again and see if I can get Smartlink to work. If this works, I'll reinstall Pandora App and try to get it back as well. My past 24 hours of skimming articles (don't ya love the internet !) seems to indicate that I am not the only person with bluetooth problems due to the iOS 8.1.2 update....hey Apple...where's 8.1.3 to fix this ?

DroidX dropping Bluetooth connections with 2010 Honda Accord

I hope soneone has an answer for this one.
My phone drops the bluetooth connection with the HandsFreeLink in my car (2010 Honda Accord w/Nav) after a period of time (20-30mins). The phone call is still active. Only the bluetooth connection is cutoff. The car will not recognize the phone until I either shutoff and restart the car or pull the battery on the phone and reboot it. This does not happen with my wife's motorola flip type phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all for posting your questions and concerns!
I can imagine how frustrating it gets when experiencing the Bluetooth connection problems! Just want to let everyone know our Product and Bluetooth Team are aware of the issues with connectivity since software update, and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix as soon as possible.
We will keep you updated!
Thanks for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

What is the best device for playing music from my iphone 4 through my car stereo via Bluetooth?

Do Apple recommend any products or do they sell one?

Apple does not recommend nor sell any. Read online stereo reviews and form your own opinion as to what what's best.

IOS 8 Bluetooth problem in '13 Honda Accord

Ever since upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s, I am unable to speak on the phone through the Bluetooth system in my 2013 Honda. The phone will connect, but when I try to make a call, the call can not be heard through the Bluetooth unless I switch the call to “private” on my iPhone. When I receive a call, the Bluetooth system will alert me but when i answer I still can't hear anything through the speakers. I can play music and hear it well through the Bluetooth. But not calls. This might be an iOS 8 issue. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Others reported:
Delete network settings and the old pairing at both ends: iPhone and car.
After pairing new, it works for many.
If not: Delete all settings (back to manufactory settings) and delete pairing in the car memory.
After repairing it works for some other.

HELP !!! hands free paring bb bluetooth with car stereo 2011 kia sorento

I was able to pair my bb 8530 curve with my kia sorento 2011 car stereo via Bluetooth, but once I leave the car, and come back the connections always fail.
I do have my Bluetooth "discoverable"
on my option settings I have only check mark "hands free", "audio source" & "A/v source"

this are the instructioin I used to fixed it. In Bluetooth Options unchecked all items on the Services list except Handsfree. The then deleted the Kia from the BB and the BB from the Kia. I then paired again, in options on the BB I changed Discoverable to "No" and then on BB in Sorento Device Properties change Encryption to "Disabled". This has worked almost 2 weeks now with no new issues.

Bluetooth iPhone 4s car stereo very quiet

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me with an audio problem. Sometimes when I connect by iPhone 4s to my car stereo via Bluetooth, the audio is very quiet. Even with my volume turned all the way up on my phone and car stereo. Then other times ill connect them and it'll play normal and very loud. And way to fix this so it's loud all the time?-(when's it's quiet I turn it all the way up and it's still like background noise...)
TIA

I have the same problem with my iPhone 5S in my Subaru. Until someone can offer a fix, I am resorting to using FM, only.

Fast fwd & rewind buttons jamming on car stereo

A few months ago I noticed that the fast forward and rewind buttons no longer functioned properly on my car stereo. I have an iphone 5 currently on IOS 7.1.2. I do not know if this loss of function coincided with a software update but the buttons worked with my iphone 5 when I first purchased the car in March 2012. Now when playing music on my car stereo via bluetooth from my iphone this is what happens: If I try to fast forward a little bit through a track the fast forward button just keeps going faster and faster until it gets to the end of the track i.e., it doesn't stop skipping forward when I lift my finger off the car stereo button. The same thing happens with the rewind button. All other buttons work fine - skip track, volume, etc but once I touch the fast forward or rewind buttons no matter how briefly, the tune will just keep fast forwarding until it reaches the end (or beginning) of the track.
Car is Toyota Yaris 2012. I have contacted Toyota to ask them to find out if there is a firmware update for the car stereo and they are going to get back to me.
I have tried a phone reset. I have tried un-pairing and repairing however I did not delete all devices from the car stereo just my phone.
Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Issue resolved, sold iPhone and now using Android smartphone.
Works perfectly with all my audio devices and so much faster than iPhone should have done this much earlier
