Problems Pairing with Garmin Nuvi 265W

Bought a new Garmin Nuvi 265W GPS. Set the unit up. It paired immediately with iPhone and worked without issue. Then as a last step in the setup I registered the Nuvi with Garmin. Big mistake. During the registration Garmin wrote something to the Nuvi and toasted the iPhone pairing. Unit goes into an on/off do loop. Resetting and restoring doesn't help. Unpaired the iPhone and deleted it from the Nuvi so at least it's back working. Garmin doesn't know why what they write during the registration process causes the problem and said there is no way to go back. I've got V2.2 on my iPhone. Anybody have a similar problem and know of a work around to get the pairing to work again?

I bought a Garmin 265WT recently and could pair my iPhone 1st generation to the unit but it would constantly reboot the Garmin unit. After reading all the support forums and upgrading to the latest software releases on both my iPhone and Garmin 265WT
I could not get the problem resolved running the below software/firmware:
iPhone 2.2 and 2.2.1
Garmin 4.8 with Bluetooth Firmware 1.7
I finally called Garmin and they shipped me another unit. The new unit worked without any problems even with older software and firmware. Seems as if the reboot problem might be more than just software and firmware related.
My iphone at this point is running 2.2.1 but the below software and firmware revisions of the new Garmin 265WT worked:
The new unit came with software:
Software Version 4.40
GPS SW Version 2.38b
Bluetooth SW Version 1.65
This worked no problem with bluetooth. No reboots....
I even upgraded to:
Software Version 5.0
Bluetooth SW Version 1.7
The unit still worked no problem. I can only suspect the issue here is hardware related in some cases. So for some people the upgraded software/firmware may work. But if you are running both iPhone 2.2.1 (1st Gen Phone) and the latest software and Bluetooth firmware and still have the problem I would call Garmin and have them replace the unit.

Problems pairing with Garmin Nuvi 1310 sat nav

I have been trying to connect to a Garmin Nuvi 1310 sat nav. It set up first time, however when I switch off the sat nav and then turn it back on my phone will not connect automatically. I have to remove it from the list on the Garmin and start all over again. Surely this can't be right, my old iPhone re-connected automatically everytime. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

BT pairing with Garmin Nuvi 2310

Hi everyone
BB Curve 8520 v5.0.01036 - BT v1.1
Garmin Nuvi 2310 - BT v5
This is my first BB, I wish I bought one years ago. Its great.
I do have a problem pairing with my satnav. The satnav turns off once the connection is made. I have read other posts but nothing refers to the Curve 8520.
One post said the the different versions of BT could be the problem? I have emailed Garmin to see if they can supply an older version of their firmware for BT. Does anyone know if the BT version can be updated on the BB? Both the Garmin and BB have been updated using their software/websites.
Any help on this is appreciated, Allan.

I have a new 8520 and a Nuvi 660 which I've had a couple of years. Paired easily with no problem IRO using the Nuvi as a handsfree device in the car.
The Nuvi is running BT sw 3.4. and the BB same as yours.

1.1.3 Update Doesn't Work with Garmin Nuvi

I have been using my iPhone with a Garmin nuvi 680. So far it has worked very well as a hands-free speaker, that is untill last night when I upgraded to 1.1.3. Since the upgrade my Bluetooth connection to the nuvi is shot. I get an initial connection, but every minute or two it warns me that my phone has been disconnected. You can imagine that this gets quite old after a dozen or so warnings.
I have unpaired my iPhone and paired it again to no avail. I have reset the iPhone and I will try again. What else should I try?

I restored my iPhone last night and reloaded my latest backup. That didn't fix the problem at all. Next I am going to try restoring and starting from scratch. Maybe that will work better.
What I am thinking I'll do is do a clean restore, no backup just a new 1.1.3 iPhone and then test the Bluetooth with the nuvi. If that works, then I'll load all my info back to the phone manually. If it doesn't I'll restore the backup and wait for a fix.

Problem pairing with bluetooth and Mi Band Device.

Hi, I have problem pairing my Iphone 5 to a my Mi Band device. After turning on my Bluetooth in the setting page, my iPhone just keep on goes into searching mode and does not detach anything. Please help. thanks

The hardware certification requirements for 2.2 are pretty strict and the Ziio doesn't meet them, but they're opened up for 2.3. If the Ziio gets the android market, it will have to be running 2.3.
Will the Ziio be upgraded to run on 2.3? It's possible, but up to Creative. That said, my hope is that most compatibility issues are addressed with 2.2. The only things I missed were Skype and Flash, and that should be fixed with 2.2.
And now that I can update my Rhapsody software, kindle app, and shop for a few games on the Amazon market, 2.3 isn't that big of a deal for me.

Is anyone having a problem pairing with a BMW?

Does anyone have any advice for pairing with a 2011 BMW? Ever since I updated my 4S to IOS6.0 I can't seem to pair with my car. At first it couldn't load phone book data. Now it won't pair at all. I had BMW look at the problem but their diagnostics showed nothing abnormal.
Thanks

Sorry about my english. I'm from Germany and I have the same problem. The problem is, that iOS6.0 is the newest technology and the software of your BMW isn't. Your BMW dealer must update the software if possible. And maybe everthing will work again. On time my dealer try it on my BMW 330Xd 2010. Hope, that everything wil work!

Problems pairing with Parrot 3200LS hands-free

My phone was pairing just fine for two months. Then it stopped connection with my Parrot 3200LS. I have tried deleting from the phone and the Parrot. I have re-paired numerous times and I can get the connection initially to work, but when I re-enter my car it won't connect. I have checked the software update and am really getting frustrated. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't know if it is my phone or the Parrot device. When I look at the bluetooth settings on my phone it looks like it is constantly searching. It does recognize the Parrot 3200 and when I select the device it will sometimes connect and sometimes it will say connection failed. I shouldn't have to manually connect when I get in my car. Any help would be appreciated. I have also sent a question to Parrot and am waiting for a response.

Bluetooth with Garmin Nuvi 670

When trying to activate Bluetooth capability on my Nuvi 670, I get the following message.
Please set your Bluetooth phone to 'Find Me/Discoverable' mode.
In searching the help screens for the iPhone, I cannot find how to set my iPhone to this mode. Can anyone help me?

Hey RMUNSON01,

Apple keyboard not pairing with iMac

My wireless keyboard was working fine just until 2 weeks ago when I went out of town for a couple of weeks (and it has worked fine for over 2 years now). Now it is giving me problems pairing with my iMac. I've gone through all the support discussions and I've tried everything.
I uncoupled the device from the computer because it was not connecting and have tried connecting it ever since and nothing seems to work. The computer seems to "find" the keyboard but won't connect to it.
I have pushed down the power button the entire time during pairing process as suggested by some people with the problem on the discussion boards and that doesn't do it either. While occasionally the computer will see the keyboard, it just does not seem to want to connect to it. The green light comes on for a bit when I hold the power key down (or even when I just push it once) and then goes off. It never blinks i.e. it doesn't seem like it's going into pairing mode at all.
This is really confounding. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated. I'm already 3 hours in the whole trying to fix this.

Thanks Barry.
I had already deleted the KB from the bluetooth preferences and it was discoverable, so no idea why it wasn't working.
However, eventually what ended up working was that I turned the iMac off, I took the keyboard to work (i.e. away from anywhere near the iMac's vicinity) and then when I brought it back at the end of the day, the green light suddenly started blinking again and the iMac discovered the KB. I don't know how these things are designed but apparently, you need to take the KB out of the range of the device it was formerly paired with EVEN IF you have deleted the device from the bluetooth preferences. Otherwise, somehow, the pairing is still remembered and the device is not recognized.
If this happens again, next time, I'll try your reset SMC suggestion. thanks for your help.

N900 won't pair with Windows 7 PC

Has the bluetooth on the N900 been fully implemented yet? My E90 has no problems connecting with connecting to my Windows 7 computer, but the N900 times out with error code 0x80004005. The N900 and the E90 have no problems pairing with each other. I'm using a Broadcom 2046 based dongle with the latest drivers.

I have the Same problem with Windows 7 not seing the N900. Come up with driver error. Have no problems in pairing other bluetooth devicessuch as headset, gps reciever, N78 phone.
Also when Paring, when Using Numbers, It display the lower case characters even holding the Bue Arrow for normal use with numbers. I had to hold down the White up arrow when pressing the Number key to display the number characters.

IPhone and Garmin Nuvi 660 pair!

Thought I would mention that the iPhone successfully pair with the Garmin Nuvi 660 via Bluetooth, AND all of the address book entries (including multiple numbers) gets transferred to the Nuvi for use. Great feature to dial while on the road without even taking the iPhone out....

I have not had any problems; I get in-and-out of the car and each time the two devices have successfully paired. I once turned off BT for a while in the iPhone but had no problems when I turned it back on and then later got in the car to go somewhere. I keep my Nuvi plugged in all the time -- maybe that makes a difference? Do you unplug your Nuvi when leaving the car and then replug it when starting out again?

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?

6110 paired with Nuvi 660

Hi All,
I have had the nuvi for some time and have been through many nokia phones with it. My problem is my new 6110 will work as a hands free but will not let me access my phone book or messages. They are connected via bluetooth.
I found a link on the euro web site that provided a contact manager to solve the issue with other phiones but I can't find one for the 6110. Any assistance greatly appreciated. I am constantly in the car and this feature is very important to me and I also like the phone and don't wanna have to return it.
Cheers
Rob

UPDATED FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
Incoming Calls to my Treo are displayed on the nuvi as three lines. The first line displayed is the message "Incoming Call", the second line displayed is the complete phone number, the third line displayed are two blue buttons, one says "Ignore" the others says "Answer". When I touch "Answer" the nuvi display changes back to previous display (Map, menu, etc) then there is a click through it's speaker as if it is hanging up, but the phone call is not answered. As the Treo continues to either ring or vibrate and display incoming call, the nuvi will change back to it's Incoming Call display with the options to Ignore or Answer but with the same results. This continues until the Treo displayed Missed Call message.
PS I have also reported this issue with Garmin and will cross post on AT&T forums

Problem remebering bluetooth pairing with 09 Saab (Gm blue tooth)

I have a 09 saab 9-3, and the car has built in blue tooth. The problem is when i pair the phone it works while the car stays on that whole time. The minuet i turn the car off and try to come back into the car it will not reconnect. If you go to setting and blue tooth and try to tap the correct device it still wont reconnect. The only way to get my GM Blue tooth and my Apple iphone to work is to pair it every time i sit in the car and that just isn't feasible!

1.   Click the Manage Connections icon on your Home screen
2.   First, verify that the Bluetooth technology is turned On
3.   Then select Set Up Bluetooth
4.   Click Search to find other devices or Listen to allow your BlackBerry smartphone to be discovered by other Bluetooth devices
5.   Click on the device you would like to pair with and enter the Numeric Passkey if required
6.   Click Yes
7.   To connect to a paired device, click the Options icon on the Home screen
8.   Select Bluetooth
9.   Click on a Bluetooth enabled device and select Connect
Make sure your headset is also in discoverable mode. Instructions should be included in it's user manual. If this does not work, then I would assume a compatibility issue.
Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!
