I recently upgrated to the latest 3.x f90bt firmware. my iphone 3g with 3.01 was working just fine. however, i was having another issue which i posted to this forum about a VR catalog issue. While troubleshooting that issue i removed the pairing to my iphone.

My Iphone will no longer pair. i can get to the point where it asks for the 4 digit code and i enter 0000 but it says pairing failed.

any ideas ?

I would try holding the reset button for 5 seconds while the unit is on. That will restore factory default settings. If that fails, call Pioneer and ask... though they will tell you to do exactly what I just told you, and you'll wait forever on the phone to find that out.

Thanks, i gave that a shot and it didn't work. it just says "Could not pair 'Pioneer Navi'"

I even tried to change the name of the unit to pioneer instead of pioneer navi, and it still shows up as pioneer navi when trying to pair the phone. I had to stop working on it but i did not reboot the radio after i changed the name, nexts i get in the car i'll try it again to see if it is recognizing the name change.

Any other ideas ? The code would always be 0000 right ? it can't be anything else or does it even matter what it is?

AFAIK the code should be 1111, also try pairing from the phone and not from the unit

Thanks IDT..that was it. could have sworn the code was 0000 but 1111 did the trick.

P.S. Your mod makes this navi soooo much better.
