IPhone 4s will not pair with car bluetooth
My new iphone 4s will not pair with the bluetooth in my 07 Volvo XC70. The blue tooth is after market, looks similar to internet photos of Motorolla T605. Blue tooth says to put in scan mode and then enter code when prompted. Pairing fails and then the screen for the code shows up on the phone.
I had a iPhone 3s paired with this Bluetooth, and once when I did a reset of that phone had this issue, put through many attempts it eventually paired. Despite many attempts, I cannot get the 4S running IOS 5 to pair.
The phone does pair with a motorolla bluetooth ear piece.
I've been having this issue since I got an iPhone 4S last week. (Upgraded from iPhone 4 on iOS 5.0.1)
I would think that this is a software issue but I went ahead and visited an AT&T store to see about a replacement phone. I was directed to go to an Apple store which I then did. I explained this bluetooth issue I was having as well as the other issue with no audio on outbound calls (described in a different thread) and they gave me a new phone.
Well, I've tested it several times now with the nav/handsfree systems in two different cars as well as with my headset. All is good so far! No drop of bluetooth connection, can switch at will between audio sources and no lack of audio on outbound calls any more. (And these problems were happening frequently before, even after a complete restore.)

Will there be a fix for the Bluetooth problems that me and many other iPhone 5 owners are experiencing?
Go to the settings in your Jeep, "forget" the iPhone. And on the iPhone "forget" the jeep. Then put the Jeep in Pairing Mode and tap Settings/BlueTooth on the phone and pair them anew (which sounds less confusing than "repair them").

IPhone 5 will not pair with Uconncect since 8.1.1 update
iPhone 5 will not pair with Uconnect since 8.1.1 update. How can I fix this?
Apple would "not" replace my Iphone 5 till went to dealer and had my bluetooth on u connect system updated. Advisor acted like I just come from the planet Mars when I told him what I needed. So a tech advisor went with to my vehicle and connect his 4S then went and about a minute flat "paired" my iphone 5! I seen him go through a step that even the manufacter's manual did not even mention to "pair" an iphone using bluetooth! I then asked what he had done and so he showed me to successfully start the "pairing" process the four digit code he used for the u connect and on the iphone screen came up displaying u connect and just to the right it says "not" paired. I had been there around twenty times myself! He then pressed the "not paired" display and when he did the keypad popped up and the advisor put in the "same" four didgit code that he originally had used to start the pairing in uconnect and then press the "complete or done" button on the iphone keypad after doing this the u connect displays "pairing process has begun" and less than a minute it did! All the phones including my 4GS I "never" had to do that and I had "never" had a pairing problem before so to me it must the new IOS 6 system!

My iPhone will not pair with Yada Bluetooth speakerphone
My iPhone 5 (iOS 8.1.1) will not pair with a Yada Bluetooth car speakerphone. (Android phone has no problem.) Is there a fix?
ThanksHello grassyknap,
For most issues with pairing your iPhone with a Bluetooth device like your car, then take a look at the article below to sort you out. Make sure to reset network settings to clear it out from your frequent pairings to reestablish the connection.

MacBook Pro will not pair with any Bluetooth device
Last night my MacBook Pro stopped pairing with any bluetooth device (I've tried Apple Pro Wireless Keyboard, Wireless Mighty Mouse, Logitech MX900 mouse, Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard) and it simply won't pair with anything.
It sees each device but when it tries to pair it fails. With the keyboards, sometimes it'll give me the passkey to type on the keyboard but then it doesn't recognize that I've actually typed it and hit enter. Eventually I just end up with:
"The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." When ready, click Continue to try again."
I've reinstalled 10.5.6 Combo update, tried to pair under a different user account, turned off/on bluetooth, and still nothing.
I did install VMWare Fusion last night and briefly shared the Bluetooth connection to that, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
Any suggestions?Me too. sigh
All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
Puzzled and frustrated,

Bluetooth on my iphone 4s will not pair with my car anymore
This phone has worked with the bluetooth in my car for over a year. In the past 2 weeks it cannot find the device. I reset the phone and it worked fine for the past 3 days. Now it won't find the device again and resetting did not help either..... can anyone help me or do I need to go to the Apple Store?
I don't think that is the problem. I bought two iphone 4 from Verizon yesterday(Jul 6, 2011) with 2 hands frees.
I also have a built in car hands free with my Toyota Rav4.
So I started pairing bluetooth devices. One phone has no problem at all.
The other phone could succeed to pair one hands free, very slowly.
Then, it did not recognize either hands free no. 2 or toyota bluetooth.
I removed hands free #1 from the phone #2, and turn bluetooth switch then restarted - no recognizing device
I put phone #2 on dash board and restarted again - no recognizing device
I put phone #2 on cup holder, then restarted again - no recognizing device
Phone # 1 does not have any problem at all with all 3 hands free system.
I also recognized that phone #2's connectivity is quite slower than phone #1's. It also dropped several times in an hour I tried to buy some apps.
At that time I put phone #2 on the table, so it is not because of "death grip."
Both phone #1 and phone #2 are using iOS 4.2.6, so it cannot be solved by "software update."
I strongly suspect some hardware problem called 'lemon.'
People who spent their time and money updating software and changing bluetooth devices including hands-free should be compensated.
I think that the only solution is replace to a new iphone which is not a lemon. -
E51 will not pair with car radio hands free
With the radio switched on I do a search and the phone finds the hands free (KCA-BT200) Kenwood headset.
I have tried to pair the phone with the hands free and comes back with a message Unable to pair with KCA-BT200.
This was not a problem with my previous phone HTC touch Pro.
How do I get the devices to pair?
An observation that may be significant is that the search shows the hands free device name and a speaker with a music note attached.Hi
Check to see if the e51 is working with other devices. If it is then it will be that the Kenwood device thats causing the issue.
It may be that the Kenwood device is full of pairings, if it is, it will not allow you add anymore devices. Perform a full factory reset and see if this does the trick.
Hope this helps

IOS 8 on iPhone 5 will not sync with car anymore
After upgrading to iOS 8, my music library will no longer sync with my car. I have a 2013 Dodge Charger with the 8.4u Radio w/ Nav. Previous iOS, I had no issues playing music via the USB port, now all my radio does is say it is updating the catalog. It sits there for hours waiting for the catalog to update. Is there a way I can roll back my changes to the previous iOS?
Hi Lawrence
Thanks for your help, Can I just Check when you say remove iTunes do you mean from both the iPhone and Microsoft surface ? Or just iPhone? From what I can see it's not installed yet on the surface could that be the problem?

Any idea on how to fix this? -
IPhone 4 Bluetooth will not pair with Jawbone Icon, Jawbone 2
Just got my iPhone today and am more or less thrilled to have it. The only problem (other than the antenna issue, which the bumper fixes beautifully) is that Bluetooth will not pair with any of my Bluetooth devices. When I turn on Bluetooth on the phone and turn on the headset, iPhone says it's "searching.." and "now discoverable" but it never discovers anything, let alone pair up. The Bluetooth on my MacBook recognized the iPhone and I was able to pair them, but no luck on the Jawbones. Sounds like a JB problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there's a fix via the iPhone.
On the icon, turn it off and hold button down while sliding the power switch on. This should put it in pairing mode. Then go into your i4's bluetooth menu and give it another go. Also, Jawbone has recently updated the firmware for the Icon so you need to load it as well. I have the icon and a Jabra cruiser and both work/paired fine. You may want to try rebooting phone and retrying as well.

525G2 will not pair with one of my Bluetooth headsets
My Voyager Pro+ died last week and now my 525G2 will not pair with a Voyager Pro UC that I had laying around. It can see it, but when I enter the PIN code it says that it will not pair. The same headset will pair with my cell phone, so i know it's not the headset that is the problem.
What is an "expense bluetooth". Does it have a brand name and model number? is it compatible with the iPhone? Have you put it in pairing mode and paired it with the iPhone? Has it ever been paired with another device?
