Bluetooth does not pair with any phones

I have Pioneer F700 installed in my car. Bluetooth used to work with any of my phones, but then it stopped. When I try to pair with the phone is says no device found. My phone does not recognise it also. What should I do?

Go to your bluetooth setup screen and scroll all the way down to where it says "Bluetooth Software Update". Is the Version: field blank?

If so, that means the system has stopped recognizing the bluetooth software (not sure why, it could have gotten corrupted somehow).

But it is an easy fix. You need to download the latest bluetooth software from Pioneer's website and load it onto an SD card to then load it onto your nav. Follow this link then click on the "Firmware" link on the left side: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-F700BT

Thanks - this just saved me! I had updated about a year ago, but it just stopped working yesterday.

Thanks again!
