Can't Connect iPhone via Bluetooth — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Posted Mar 23, 2011 · 13:27 UTC#1

I just picked up a z120bt and cannot get it to connect to my iPhone 3GS.

I've got the bluetooth turned on for the Avic, and in the device settings it is identified as "PIONEER NAVI". When I enable bluetooth on the iphone it finds PIONEER NAVI just fine, but when I attempt to connect to it it says "please make sure the device is turned on and enabled". It doesn't even get to the point where it asks me to enter the pairing code.

I can connect to other bluetooth devices with the phone just fine.

Any ideas here? Been playing with this for a couple weeks now and still haven't been able to get it working.

When pairing from the iPhone, you need to tell the AVIC to allow pairing. (pair from mobile device)

When paring from the AVIC, you have to go into bluetooth settings on the iPhone for it to be discoverable.

I must be missing something here. I don't see any option for "pair from mobile device". I have bluetooth turned on in the main settings menu, where is the other option that I need to enable on the AVIC?

Bluetooth Settings -> Registration
