Pairing with problems with car radio system

Hi
I have a Blackberry 8700 which I need to pair with the Radio in a Land Rover Freelander 2 (same for Jaguar, Volvo and some other Ford based Radios). It would not connect at all and I was advised to download an applet from Blackberry and it does now connect but I don't get the phone numbers/ contacts/ call logs to transfer. The O/S version is 4.2.1.94. Does anyone know how to get full functionality. Frustratingly it fully connects with my portable Garmin Sat Nav. I know car radios are not always the most flexible things but it is really frustrating as otherwise the hands free calls are fine.
Hope someone can help
Grumpy

I also have the same problem with an 8900 and Land Rover Freelander.
Is this a bug with the Blackberry OS?
Can someone help?
Also Gumpy.....

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

Connect Iphone to car radio system

I try to find a way to connect my Iphone to my car radio. I wan to listen my mp3 and use my phone with the car radio system.
annuaire et actualité

There are many ways to do this (I use the MonsterCable ipod adapter in rental cars, and the Pioneer Ipod Interface for my P7500DVDII) both with decent results. (great results if you turn on airplane mode). All GSM phones can effect stereo equipment to some degree, and the iphone is no exception. Alot of the 3rd party kits do not use shielded connections which just makes the problem that much more obvious. I found if I adjust the location of my phone in relation to the transmitter and the radio the Monster fm modulator gives satisfactory results without disabling my ability to recieve phone calls. The pioneer is the best, however I can't place the phone in the holder which was installed with the kit since it is in the DIN above the stereo (VW Jetta) and the phone constantly interferes with the amplification circuits. Moving the phone 3-4 inches fixes it.

Sound problems with car radio

Hello,
I've updated my iPod touch 3G from 3....to OS 4.01. Since then there is often an "unclear" sound when it is connected with our JVC car radio. I've tried different combinations, also with an iPod classic connected with the radio and the touch with other docks, but only t h i s combination causes unsatisfying sound results. Not always, but often. It's annoying...any ideas?
Thanks,
Knödel

Hi,
I work for JVC and would like to try and help. I had similar problems with 4.0.1 which went away when I updated to iOS 4.1. Now Apple has release iOS 4.2.
Please try a further update, and if that doesn't solve your problem, please let me know the specific model of JVC that you have.
Thanks,
Chris

Ringtone bug with car radio via Bluetooth

My Lumia 520 pairs with my Sony car radio just like my old Nokia did, but there's an odd problem with the ringtone: when I receive a call, the phone vibrates and then instead of the radio playing my ringtone and the phone remaining silent, the radio plays some Windows alert tone while at the same time my phone plays its ringtone.
Anyone else seen anything like that?

Yes, get an iFM transitter from eBay or Amazon.
Search for Griffin or Monster or just iPod Classic FM transmitter and charger, they are inexpensive less than US$30.
Get one with charger or else you iPod might run out of battery faster.

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.)

Iphone 6 iOS 8.1 no longer playing properly with car audio system

Hi there,
I have an iphone 6 running ios 8.1 and it is no longer allowing me to play/pause songs through the car's audio system. I have a USB port in the car that allows me to plug my iphone in and control the Music through the car audio system.
I have a 2011 Holden Cruze.
Prior to the iOS upgrade, the function worked fine.
Bluetooth connectivity is still OK and if I control the music via the iPhone it will play.
Is anyone else having this issue and are apple aware of it?
Thanks.

Hi Darren,
I'm experiencing the exact same issue with my Volkswagen Golf 2015. Since the update I'm unable to use the play/pause button. When I press the button while my phone is connected through the MDI cable it does nothing. But if I use Bluetooth I can control it without issue. That said, in my car I don't want to use Bluetooth while I'm playing music because I want to charge my iPhone at the same time so I need to use the cable. I think this is a really issue and Apple should advise.
Update:
I did a full restore without using a backup of my old phone. Oh surprise... It seems to work now. But the worst now, is that I have this album of U2 showing in my playlist. I don't know if it's related, but that album was not showing when I used my back-up the first time. Seriously, I think Apple succeed at messing up enough with iOS 8.1 and this U2 album to break the playlist and the playback functionality with cars and radios.
To resolve the issue I tried:
Restore to iOS 8.1 with back-up - FAILED
Restore to iOS 8.1 without using any back-up - SUCCEED but fail at the same time because I need to re-setup my iPhone manually and try to get rid of this U2 album.

Anyone else lose bluetooth connection with car radio since updating to IOS 6?

I've lost consistent connection between my iPhone 4S and car radio (Kenwood) ever since I upgraded to IOS 6. This is apparantly happening to lots of people. I use this bluetooth for hands-free calling on my phone so I'm hoping Apple will come out with IOS 6.1 soon to address this software patch. Others experiencing this with their phones and car stereo systems?

I'm having probems as well. I can make calls and play music but I can only change songs on my iPhone 4S but not with the controls on the car. I was able to do this before the upgrade.

IPhone 4S doesn't pair with car

I have been searching for a couple of hours for a solution to the issue at hand but thus far have failed to resolve the problem.
I bought my iPhone 4S about two months ago and paired it with my 2012 Kia Soul (without UVO) successfully. I have had no problem establishing a Bluetooth connection between my phone and my car since, until today. My last successful connection was last night. No settings were altered between then and the issue's first occurrence a few hours ago.
When I got in my car and toggled Bluetooth on, "Searching" was displayed on the phone without changing, as though it were not paired with my car. So I went through the pairing procedure in my car's settings. My iPhone detected it (saying "Not Paired"), and prompted me for a PIN. I entered it. The car's display flashed "Pairing Complete"; however, my iPhone prompted for the PIN again. Upon reentry, the phone displayed a typical "Make sure the device is in range" alert, and the car display flashed "Pairing Failed."
I rebooted my iPhone and deleted the pair entry from my car, and I tried the process again. Everything was as I described before. Afterward, my iPhone's name was again an entry in my car's Phone Select menu, as though the pairing were successful. Since then, I restored my phone's settings to those of a five-day-old backup. Same behavior.
Many thanks in advance.

A few notes that I forgot to mention: I tried to rename my phone, which resulted in the same behavior. I have also tried just to skip entering the PIN on the second prompt, which resulted in similar behavior.
It is as though my iPhone forgot that it was paired with my car. The "KIA Motors" entry has disappeared! Is it possible that there is a trace of that old entry left that needs somehow to be cleared?

Charging iPhone 5 interferes with car radio

When I charge my iPhone 5 with the car charger, it interferes with the radio (not other audio sources) and produces lots of static. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

Search "Car radio interference causes" on Google, and you'll see that's normal.
Choose "Car radio interference filters" and you'll find solutions.

IPod integration with car navigation systems?

I recently bought a Honda CR-V with a touch screen navigation system (with XM radio). Honda offers a iPod "music link" install, but supposedly it only allows shuffle song play or shuffle album play.
It would seem a no brainer that they could write an iTunes interface-type program so you could use menus on the touch screen navigation system to control your iPod.
Has anyone heard of this for any car navigation system? It would seem highly apealing to have this option, and it doesn't seem like there are many technological hurdles - it's just a "front row" application for your car's navigation screen (easily said than done, but doesn't seem too tough).

Does your kit connect via the dock port? If so, it should work, I don't think the dock ports were changed.

IOS 7 not working with car radio

After updating iPhone 5 with iOS 7, it wont connect to my car radio - I simply get the message "USB ERROR"

I wish I could find a solution my car radio is doing the same I have a clarion cz702 CD player. It doesn't even try to charge my phone it's like my phone locks the CD player from communication with my cd player

Using Ipod with car radio

I have tuned my wireless adaptor with my car radio but it does not seem to register it. Can anyone tell me how to do this successfully?

Your radio has to be on the same station as your wireless adaptor. If they are on the same station, try a different one. The ones that work best for me are the ones that are usually just static, like the 88s on FM Radio. If none of this works then something is probably wrong. Check your connections and battery also. There may be a software you need to install on your iPod.
Hope that helps!

Slow reacting iPod while using with car radio

In December 2008 I bought a new car (SEAT Ibiza) with an addon. The radio was able to control my iPod by connecting to the multi socket. At that time my iPod was running firmware version 2.x.x and everything work perfectly.
But after I upgraded to firmware version 3.x.x the radio has big problems controlling the iPod. Everything runs really slow and I cannot browse songs and almost everything else. The only thing that still works (although with a lack) is starting a playlist. Playing music also works. So if I disconnect the iPod and setup it up for playing what I want and then reconnect it - it will play without problems.
Han anyone seen any behaviour like this and have you a solution as how I might get the link working again?

Hi Sparky67,
Thank you for your reply, I feared something like this. I have just had my car serviced and asked if there was an update for my radio. Unfortuanately there was not any. So I must consider downgrading.
If I remember correctly the genious function was not a part of the 2.x.x firmware. Do you know if I remember correctly?

Can one use the iphone with car stereo systems as one does an ipod?

My car has a "jack" for mpegs/ipod to interlace with the existing stereo. Is there an accessory that will allow me to use my iphone as one would an ipod with such systems?

Dewey Cheatum,
Apple doesn't make most of the adapters out there. Instead Apple provides the specifications so that other manufacturer's can make products that are labeled as "Works with iPhone".
I would contact the manufacturer of the car stereo to see if they have one that is certified by them to meet the "Works with iPhone" standard. If the radio came with the car, then the dealer and car manufacturer would be the resource to utilize.
This link described how manufacturer's can get their products labeled as "Made for iPod" or "Works with iPhone".
