It could be that your car stereo needs a firmware update.  See:

UPDATE:  Never mind -- not likely since you said it works with your iPhone.

  • Why won't new nano pair with BMW?

    I just bought the new nano. I like everything about it but am disappointed about the inability to pair it with the bluetooth in my 2008 BMW 328i.
    According to bmwusa.com, my vin # has the latest bluetooth that BMW offers. I'd think that would mean it would pair, but it will not.
    Caveats:
    1.) I have meticulously followed the BMW instructions on bluetooth pairing.
    2.) I can pair my iPhone 4s in this vehicle
    3.) I tried deleting the 4s and power cycling both the car and the nano.  But I still could not not pair the nano.
    Anyone out there know how to solve this?

    Thank you deggie. I did not know about A2DP or, for that matter, that there was a distinct stereo flavor of bluetooth which the nano needs
    Do you by chance know if a car's bluetooth can be upgraded to A2DP?
    Btw, I checked with my BMW dealer and they couldn't really help. Their only feedback was that my 2008 vehicle has the latest-and-greatest bluetooth offered by BMW and that their 2012 models have no capabilities beyond that of my 2008.

  • Why won't my remote pair with my Mac Book Pro.

    Battery works
    Paired with Apple TV and then my iMac, both work fine.  Latest versions of OS installed everywhere.
    Have upaired with other devices and when I try to pair with MacBook, it won't.
    MacBook Pro has Mountain Lion and is 6 months old.  Not retina.
    What's going on?

    Did you disable this option?  Look in System Preferences/Security and Privacy/Advanced.  Make sure there's no checkmark in the box that says to disable the remote control receiver.

  • Why won't my iphone5 pair with my bmw2007 535 XI?

    My iPhone 5 will not pair with my 2007 BMW 535 XI.  My 4 paired just fine. My blackberry pairs well.  When I bring up the pairing screen it shows lnothing but locals talking about boring stuff. I have tried multiple attempts but the phone reverts back as soon as hit the 4 th digit in the code string. Is there something Tim not doing?

    If you have the same app on both the phone and the iPad then you might be able to directly transfer them. Otherwise you could email them or copy them to your computer from the phone, and then sync them to the iPad (syncing photos).

  • Iphone bluetooth problem with car stereo

    I bought a third party bluetooth adapter for my car stereo. Hooking it up with any other device ( other mp3 players, my husband's windows phone ) all work and stream music. Pairing it with my iphone 5 causes constant crackling and static like blown speakers. Same with the ipod touch. Is there a setting in the phone that will fix this?
    Thanks

    I had same issue on iPhone 4 using "ebay" type adapter but improved it

    I however now have iPhone 5 wired in for perfect results

  • Ios7.0.1 bluetooth connectivty with car stereo not working properly?

    I have updated my Iphone to Ios7.0.1  Before this update connection between my Iphone and car stereo was not an issue.
    Now the only way to play music through this device is to use the iphone. Select track, volume, Etc the hands free buttons on the sterring wheel do not work. I think you will agree this is not acceptable, convenient , or safe to drive. However the phone call option is working perfectly as before. My vehicle is a 6 month old Jaguar XF I have contacted them and they have inspected my car and have assured me the problem is not with my car audio equipment.
    I am a little reticent to do a factory reset on my iphone until all avenues of trouble shooting have been exhausted.
    Can anyone help, advise, or even been experiencing the same problem/

    I have a similar problem with my XF.  I upgraded to 7.0.2 and deleted all my paired devices in the car and on my phone. 
    I reapired the phone and all seemed fine - I could happily make/receive calls.  However the phone will NOT connect to the audio part of the XF and will not play any music or connect via Bluetooth to Audio.  I can see the phone and try and connect but I get the message that the Audio connection has failed.  The phone continues to work normally through the phone setup.
    Previously you could effectively connect a device as a phone and a device as an audio device (or the same device to both phone and audio) but this is no longer possible with IOS7 it seems.  My wife and my son also have iphones upgraded to IOS7 and they cannot connect to audio either. 
    I have tried rebooted, resetting, deleting all settings etc, etc but I am having no luck.
    ANy further help greatfully received.  My XF is a 63 plate and just over a month old.

  • IOS6 bluetooth connection with car stereo

    With my iPhone 4S running iOS5, my after-market car stereo bluetooth was able to read my song name, artist name, ect. Now that I upgraded to iOS6 my Kenwood receiver cannot read this data while connected via bluetooth. Since the data can't be read, the steering wheel control to search/skip a song forward or back also no longer works. I tested the car stereo last night with an iOS5 phone and it worked correctly, so I know the problem is related to the bluetooth iOS6.

  • TS1717 why won't my phone pair with my pc?

    I'm trying to pair my iphone5 with my pc and I keep getting a message that says device driver cant be found. What do I need to do?

    Other than above, it does not connect to other phones or computers.

  • Why won't it play on the car stereo or external speakers?

    I have a 30 Gb ipod with color display - recently purchased. It will play through the headphones ok, but when attached to the car adapter or the speakers I purchsed - no sound?? I have tried downloading the most recent software - what next?

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive will now play your DVD.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now plays your DVD.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

    I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

    One possibility: 
    How do you know it is searching for other devices?  Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?
    Why is it searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

    For what purpose are you trying to pair them?
    Only supported peer to peer apps such as photo transfer or multiplayer games can connect to other iOS devices via Bluetooth. You initiate the connection inside the app running on both devices.

  • IPad won't bluetooth pair with Mac mini

    I would like to use Mobile Mouse by RPA Tech on my IPad mini  to control my Mac mini running OS X  10.6.8.  It would be my preference to use a Bluetooth PAN instead of WiFi,   I say this because Bluetooth peripherals seem to auto-connect better than Wifi, might be my imagination.  Anyway, I can't get my iPad to pair with the Mac.  The Mac sends a code, the iPad asks if I want to pair, then the pairing comes back as unsuccessful.  Any ideas?

    It is not designed to. The ipad will not even connect with it with air drop. You can only pair a mouse or keyboard.
