NAVIGATION on 8200NEX with iPhone 6, iOS 10


Recommended Posts

Possible solution for linking iPhone with good and bad news.  

 

Hi all, new guy here.  8200NEX, iPhone 6, iOS 10.  

 

I couldn't associate my phone with the nav.  Followed instructions in manuals and even followed phone instructions from tech on phone.  Then watched the video (

) and noticed a difference.  

In the manual/phone, they say to start the app on your phone, then plug into your running head unit.  However in the video they show plugging into the running head unit and THEN starting up the phone app.  

 

So to be careful I did the following:

 

1.  Deleted app on iphone.

2.  Hard reset iphone, download app, once installed reset phone again. (probably overkill)

3.  Turn off bluetooth on iphone.

4.  Turn off Apple Car Play on head unit.  (Settings, input settings, smart phone)

5.  Ensure USB selected for smartphone setup (Settings, input settings, smart phone)

6.  Start up head unit, 

7.  Factory reset through nav settings on head unit, set up navigation initial options as required.  

8.  CONNECT PHONE TO USB FIRST.

9.  Open app on iphone, do set up steps.

10.  Automatically got a red bar across nav screen saying phone detected and if I want to associate.  Said yes, 10 seconds later got the option on phone to associate and said yes.  Phone connected!

11.  Tested by turning off ignition, unplugging phone, then ignition on, phone app on first, then plug phone and connected automatically to nav, no problem.  

12.  Turned bluetooth back on iphone, still connects and nav still connects to phone via usb.

13.  Turned off headunit, disconnect USB, download local map on iphone.

 

 

Here's the bad news.  I turned on the head unit, plugged in the usb, turned on the app and connected.  Great.  Then the head unit started to automatically sync the newest map from my phone.  Great.  After 24 seconds, my app shut down and the head unit said my phone was unavailable.  I couldn't reconnect.  I had to shut down the head unit, then start up and connect the phone again.  Started syncing again and after about 20 seconds the same thing happened.  

Any ideas?  I'm on hold now waiting to ask tech.  Hope my beginning steps help and someone can help me with the syncing.
