N86 8MP will not pair up with car bluetooth

Hello / Hi.  This is THE most frustrating and annoying time I have spent with a phone, and it makes me doubly detremined to go 'anything but Nokia' in the next few months.
Anyway, my N86 8MP is under warrantee so when it broke last week, the Australian Nokia Care people replaced it - and I picked it up today.  Got to my car and the darned phone will not pair up to the bluetooth in my car.  This is the second time I have had problems pairing up with this phone - the first being when I got the N86 five months ago. 
N86 Phone will find all kinds of 'devices' including the Parrot Bluetooth in my VW car - it just will not 'pair'.  Now have about ten 'devices' on my N86 that it found while doing what the downloaded N86 instruction manual told me to do, and cannot delete any of them.  What I am copying and pasting below, taken from page 56 of the Nokia manual, just is NOT possible.  I mean one is not able to Delete any fool thing - there isn't even a 'delete' option on my phone.
To delete a pairing, select the device whose pairing you
want to delete and Options > Delete. To delete all
pairings, select Options > Delete all. If you are currently
connected to a device and cancel the pairing with that
device, pairing is removed immediately, and the
connection is ended.
I have updated the phone software this evening - when supplied new to me by Nokia Care this morning, the phone was about two or more years behind in terms of software - but after downloading some 35 Mb an hour or two ago, it now has the latest version 30.009.  STILL I cannot pair my bluetooth.  STILL I cannot delete any of the devices my phone found earlier today.
Oh, by the way, I have tried three other brands of phones and all pair up with my car bluetooth.  So it's not the bluetooth device.
I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to have a new phone that dissapoints me as much as the one it replaced.  Oh, Nokia replaced my previous N86 because it wasn't charging the battery properly.
But I ned to get this fool phone to work - at least for now.  And it is SO frustrating when the
Nokia N86 8MP User Guide Issue 3.0 does not help - AND tells you to do things that my phone just cannot do - like go into Options Delete, when it doesn't exist.
So how DO I delete all the devices my phone found?
And how DO I get my phone to recognise and pair with my car bluetooth?
Please help.
Thank you SO very much.
Pete

Hi ganesh8888
Unfortunately the UDP = User Data Preservation feature of your device is working to your disadvantage here, whereas in days of old a firmware update would have wiped out settings. Provided that you backup essential data first you can then hard reset - hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and green (phone key) depressed and power on whilst keeping these three keys down until after Nokia "shaking hands" appears. This should return device to out of box state showing "select country".
Unfortunately you don't say which Parrot Bluetooth you are using but as example support here:http://www.parrot.com/tur/musterihizmetleri/musterihizmetleri/parrot-sk4000/compatibility/?idproduct...
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

    File transfer via Bluetooth is not supported without a third party app on both devices.
    Forget Bluetooth (which is quite slow anyway) and use a cloud service like Dropbox.

  • IPhone 4S will not pair or connect to Bluetooth since IOS 7.1.2 upgrade, have done troubleshooting, on phone and with Honda Handsfree link, can no longer pair bluetooth devices with phone after un-pairing them

    iPhone 4S upgraded to IOS 7.1.2. Since then, Honda Handsfreelink would not connect, I un-paired and re-paired phone on 2 prior occasions successfully. Now I deleted system settings in car, tried to pair another BlueTooth (Plantronices M20 that had previously been paired wtih iPhone unsuccessfully. I have tried troubleshooting with Honda HFL, Verizon Tech Support, reset network settings on phone and I can no longer get the Bluetooth to pair. I was told to bring phone to VZW store. I was also told to reset phone to default settings which I do not want to do.

    How to Pair Your Plantronics M20 Bluetooth Headset, M20 Pairing Guide - Plantronics Headsets from Headsets Direct
    You have to reset the plantronics device before you can pair successfully. With my new iPhone the plantronics web site said to reset the headset and then pair.
    Your car dealership is best equipped to connect to your phone with your Honda. Physically go to the dealership.
    Good Luck

  • Pairing 6300 with car Bluetooth

    Hi
    I have just bought a car with Blue tooth and my 6300 pairs just fine. However, when I switch off the ignition I have to go through pairing all over again. This is driving me crazy - any ideas?

    Try to go to the blue tooth menu & look for the option  authorized this(bluetooth device), have it authorize so it will not prompt for pairing all over again.
    Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
    If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

  • 6220c - Cant pair device with car bluetooth?

    I have been trying to pair my 6220c with my new car bluetooth (installed by factory in new car purchase, I dont know what brand).
    I have tried other Nokia phones and they have worked perfectly, but I cannot for the life of me get mine to pair. I have checked all settings and everything seems fine but it still wont work.
    Any ideas please?
    Its a new phone and a new car so im desperate to get them to work together!
    Cheers in advance

    You did not say which car but most factory fitted car bluetooths can be very tricky to connect to.
     For a start, I suggest you remove all previous pairings on both car and phone and start from scratch. Check that the bluetooth on the phoine and car are working by testing with other b luetooth devices. Also make sure you have the latest fiirmware on both car and phone. It would also be no harm to contact the car manufacturer for a list of compatible phones. 

  • IPhone 5S, bluetooth will not pair up with my Oticon Streamer 1.4 device

    My Oticon Streamer is a bluetooth connection device to my hearing aids.  I know it's working because my desk phone rings thru the Oticon to my hearing aids.  Works fine.
    I've been trying to pair up the iPhone 5S and the Oticon.  Briefly, the phone recognizes the Oticon, ask for the password (which is 0000), get a message to make sure the Oticon is turned on (it is), and cannot pair.  Any ideas?

    This support document provides the Bluetooth profiles that the iPhone supports. It does not support all hearing aids, and you may need to check with the manufacturer to see if the iPhone profile matches the profile they use to connect with. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

  • Keynote remote will not pair with ipad after update to 10.7.2-bluetooth issue or remote app issue?

    Noticed keynote remote will not pair after updating.  Bluetooth light flashes a couple of times then goes off.  I'm wondering if it's a bluetooth issue or a keynote remote app issue.
    Any suggestions or remedies?
    thanks

    Then again, it may not.
    I've tried all the things recommended in the Apple KB article, and it doesn't work.  Mulderscully is right, in the recent iOS 5 upgrade, Bluetooth is not turned on (at least, its symbol is not visible) from within Keynote even if you turned it on in the Settings menu.  Posts in another thread recommended using another app to establish a Bluetooth connection between the iPad and iPod (I used Touch Rummy), then switching back to Keynote and Keynote Remote.  This does work for me, but it is an awkward workaround.  Shouldn't 'It just work'?

  • TS3253 My Iphone 4S version 6.1.1 will not automatically connect to my bluetooth in my car.  It is paired and registered with the car bluetooth, but I have to select the device each time the car is started.

    My IPhone 4S with version 6.1.1 will not stay connected to the bluetooth in my 2012 Subaru Outback.  The phone is paired and registered with the bluetooth in the car, but each time the ignition is turned off the phone loses connection with the bluetooth and I have to select the device again.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • 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.)

  • HT204368 My iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps.  It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed.

    My new iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps, nor does it give me handsfree as before.  It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed.  It also sometimes gives the message that this device is not supported by iPhone (although I have been using it for several years) with my UK and Ireland, Western Europe, and USA and Canada apps.  Just replaced my 4 with a 4S rather than a 5, which won't fit the mounting kit.

    From their web site Tom Tom actually offered a converter kit at one point however all it was a 3mm thick bit of plastic with a self adhesive tape backing!

  • 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?
    Thanks

    Hello 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.

  • My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will  not pair?  I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac.  Can someone help please?

    My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
    There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
    I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
    Can anyone help please?
    My iMac is 20 inch  Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

    Hi All, thank you for you suggestions.  I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp>  which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows.  No mention of iMac!  although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
    I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
    Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
    thanks again.
