My bluetooth on the iphone does not see the bluetooth in the car. Is there something I have to do?
TIA
I don't know what car you have, but I just followed the instructions included in my car's manuals. Basically, I had to do this:
1. Press the HFL (HandsFree Link) button on the steering wheel and say "Phone Setup."
2. Press the HFL button and say, "Pair."
3. The voice tells me to speak a four-digit number. I hit the HFL button and say my made-up four-digit number.
4. When it asks me if it correctly understood the number, I hit the HFL button and say "Yes."
5. It then says, "Searching for a Bluetooth phone." At that point, I go to Settings>General>Bluetooth on my iPhone and wait for the HFL to appear in the list.
6. Tap on the HFL in the list and enter the same four-digit number when prompted.
7. After a brief pause, the HFL says it has found a phone and asks me to name it.
8. I press the HFL button and say the name I want to give my phone.
9. The HFL then tells me, "(my phone name) has been successfully paired."
10. All done. It automatically connects anytime I get into my car now.
If this isn't how your car does it, try finding a forum devoted to your particular car and see if there is some specific help there. For Acuras, there is Acurazine.com with lots of helpful information and people.
