So the iphone 3g connects just fine and when i make a call people can hear me just fine but there is no sound coming from the speakers. The volume on the phone is all the way up for the bluetooth device. So am i missing something like a volume knob on the btb-200 box.

 

any help is appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Brad

well i have tried a new phone on the unit to make sure it wasn't just my phone and the same thing happens. So now i know its the unit and not the phone. Does anyone have any ideas yet?!

Ok well after doing a bit of research it seems if you have a problem with your bluetooth system for your D3 the solution is quite simple. All volume controls for the system should be able to be controlled threw the volume knob on your D3 this is not a separate system like the voice guidance volume. If this is the case then you need to switch the IP-bus port that you are using.

 

So lets use and example to make things easier. You pluged into the IP-bus out on the bluetooth unit and from there you are pluged into the back of the D3 unit. Your phone connects and the D3 Unit recognizes your phone. You make a call and the person on the other end can hear you but there is nothing coming from your speakers from them (this could also be reversed, you can hear them but they cant hear you). All you need to do is switch the IP-bus port on the bluetooth unit. Switch it from ip-bus out to ip-bus in.

 

This could also be switched where you start of with the ip-bus in and things don't work as well. When i talked to pioneer about my problem they said that if the unit you purchased was programed wrong then sometimes the ports can be reversely polarized (reverse polarity).

 

I guess this makes sense but you would think that pioneer being such a large company would not make mistakes like this!

 

Bottom line is my problem is fixed!

How does one switch buses? I am having the exact same issue. Switch cable slots on the bluetooth? That possible?

Well if you look on the box for the bluetooth unit there are two slots for the buses, all you do is switch which port you pluged it into! If you have somthing pluged into both ip bus ports then you just needs to switch them!

 

Its really simple!
