IPhone5 bluetooth in car not finding phone
Hi,
I am trying to pair my iPhone 5 with the bluetooth in my car. It was connected, and worked just great.
Somehow, the connection was lost. I try to pair, and I get a message saying "Unable to find device" and it suggests that I am out of range (I am not).
Any help is much appreciated.
Is the car still listed in the Bluetooth of the iPhone? If not, then is Bluetooth turned on? If you turn Bluetooth off/on for the phone, what happens? Have you updated devices lately, changed phones, etc.? If the car is listed in the Bluetooth on the phone, then delete it, power the phone off/on and then try again.

HT204368 4S searching for Bluetooth devices but not finding them?
Hi I have just bought a second hand Iphone 4S from a company online and I am trying to get Bluetooth headset paired.
I have turned the Bluetooth off and on, and the headset - I have put the bluetooth function on my other work phone a Blackberry and the iPhone is not finding them - it just keeps searching?
Tried to pair from the Blackberry and it would not work either
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanksStop trying. The iPhone Bluetooth does not include the necessary protocols to pair with another phone. The headset on the other hand should be OK.

Upgraded to latest version, not finding phone
I upgraded to the latest version out now. program starts ok, but does not find my 6020. Then it tells me to re-install software. I can not try to install cable drivers, it tells me to unplug my phone. I plug in my phone to cable, it shows data cable enhancement, but never finds the phone.
Any one have any fix for this?
Everything worked ok before I upgraded .what a crock, the connections manager has been looking for my 6020 for over 5 hours. Now it really bites that when I tried to install a cable driver, the nokia software told me to 1st diconnect my phone from the computer.
How in the world can this be? this software can not find my phone for connection, yet tells me that to disconnect my phone ????????????????????????????????????? I am VERY SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT ANOTHER BRAND AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
Before you ask, I did NO Changes to my xp sp2 system, all I did was upgrade software and now this **bleep** happens -
Iphone5 Bluetooth in car crackles
Crackles and electronic squeaking during calls very often. Any suggestions as to cause/remedy would be appreciated.
I noticed the same problem with new iphone5. Realized that volume on iphone was lower than I normally set it, and car device had volume turned up all the way. Increased phone vol and decreased car device vol. I do not notice static any longer. Sounds too simple, but worked for me.

Desktop version 6 not finding phone after downgrading from the not working version 7
OK, so I STUPIDLY accepted the desktop version 7 update notification and downloaded and installed the new version, only to be reminded that I had done that before, had problems and had to downgrade.
Months ago I had problems, and spent hours of my life trying to work out exactly how to downgrade back to version 6, after losing many hours I eventually got it all working and everything was fine until my moment of stupidity the other week.
I now find myself back to not being able to get it to work.
I have searched the forum and all I can find is thread suggesting what I have done...
Where I am now....
I uninstalled version 7, reinstalled version 6.1.0.35 (the version that was working, for which I had the zip install file for on my pc after I had the problems earlier in the year)...
Tried to get it to work, with no success...
So I have tried to uninstall version 6.1.0.35 completely, turned off the pc, restarted the pc, reinstalled version 6.1.0.35, turned off the pc, restatrted the pc, tried to get the software to find the handset
No joy!
Anyone wish to point me in the right direction before I completely lose the plot??!!
I want version 6.1.0.35 installed and finding my phone, and syncronising, like it was before I accepted the update to version 7 by mistake!
Solved!
Go to Solution.SOLVED IT!
OK I've persisted, yet another uninstall and reinstall and no luck... but then I thought to look at the device manager and get windows to update the software. Driver updated, everything now works... -
Ios 8 installed and now bluetooth in car not working
Ever since I did the update to OS8, the Bluetooth in my IPhone will not work with my car. I have removed and reinstalled the Bluetooth with IPhone. I am about to scrub the IPhone and get IOS7 put back on. GVG in Colorado.
Basic trouble shooting steps are Restart then Restore in that order: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

I am trying to pair my phone to my 2011 Toyota kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any, including my computer.
No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

I am not finding my backup of my Iphone 5 that I backed up in itunes. I need to put the old information on my replaced phone from Apple care.
the itunes back up can be found in preferences/devices on ur itunes
the preferences can be reached by going to:
windows pc: edit/preferences
mac pc: itunes/preferences
check ur icloud as well in case u had the 'back up to icloud' option checked instead of the 'to this computer' option when u backed it up to ur itunes.
if neither of those have ur back up then ur back up is not in that pc and not in ur icloud for that apple id. it might be somewhere else (another pc maybe) or it doesnt actually exist. -

The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol.
My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this.
Any idea how it can be fixed??????Hello,
You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy. There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player? Not knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

Bluetooth on iPhone does not find my iPad
Bluetooth on my iPhone does not find iPad when both devices are next to each other.
Envisions99
I agree.
still...my opinions on Apple.....
If you just try to put yourself in their position you will understand better.
Music Rights, security,every body wants something like this and like that- with all they have to consider and take care to get not sued- it is no wonder thta there are some restrictions.
And why ? because they are the only one to realy care an respond to questions and claims. Ever tried to get help from Sony and other Bigies ? Its like talking to a wall.Their support is just a not specific call center. Or did somebody read recently that Sony Erricson was called before the judge because their Cellphones are failing after third time repair (true story), their batteries are burning, their music devices dont let you transfer the music you bought(MiniDisc) and so on? Seldom right?!
If I read news about Apple, I just wonder how many legal challenges Apple has to face.
Looks like kind of sport in the US, to try to get money out of Apple.
`Oh, my laptop did not work last night so I could not read the email from my love.
I realy became so depressed and my heart aches therefore soooo much . I aske Apple to compensate
for this with ähhh.... 1 million $ ?! `
cheers,

Since I updated my iphone 4 software from 4.3.3/4.3.5 - bought brand new only 2 weeks before the update came out - to iOS 5, my bluetooth no longer works in me ford fiesta and when I ring people, they literally can not hear a word I say. It has nothing to do with poor signal areas as they are the same areas I was in with the same phone before the software update! i have even sent for a replacement phone and received a reconditioned phone (after paying excess charge - JOKE!) and the same problem occured when I updated again. I cannot believe there is no downgrade as this iOS 5 is a shambles and to be honest, I see very little difference in terms of apps and photos so i have no idea why apple are recommending this upgrade!
Is there anything I can do to improve the fact that nobody can hear me on the phone when I speak?!! Or are apple going to insist I keep a phone that is of no use to me if I can't actually use it as a PHONE!
Please please help!Hi,
Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all??
