Do you have to repeatedly pair or connect the receiver to your bluetooth phone or only pair it once and it will automatically connect once in range?

Once you pair it, your phone automatically connects when you turn the unit on or your phone is within range.

You have to pair it everytime. But you just have to hold the button on the unit and your phone should connect automatically after the initial pairing. The charging port is pretty flimsy on these. I have had mine for a few days and it stopped charging. It turns out that the charging dislodged from the logic board so I just hardwired the USB cable that came with it.

You can connect one phone at a time. If there are two phones with Bluetooth in the car it will connect to the first phone it happens to see. For example, if it sees my phone first it will not drop the connection and reconnect to my wife's phone if she gets an incoming call. To get that to work I would need to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and wait for it to attach to her phone. Then it may attach to her phone. As far as I can tell there is no 'prioritization' scheme for it to connect to more than one phone in response to events like the phone ringing or to select a preferred phone for outgoing telephone calls.

your phone has to be bluetooth ready, but otherwise you just need to pair them. Works great

You will only need to pair it once. I have mine paired with the tv and bt earphones. I can turn both the tv and the earphones off and the will re pair once I turn them back on. You should have no problem with yours.

No, it should pair automatically when you turn on the power switch. However it will shut itself off after 10 minutes and require connecting again; if you're lucky that cause no problems, otherwise it will fail to control the app/feature you were using it will and will have to be reset to work again, or may have to close/re-open your app/feature on the phone.

Hi Jamie, I've paired mine with multiple devices, but each time I turn it on, it grabs the most recently connected device (assuming that device is available). To switch devices, I either turn bluetooth off on the currently connected device and the second device usually grabs the cube fish. Does that answer your question?

Yes, it automatically connects to the most recent device that will try to connect to it. As long as your phones remember the device in your bluetooth device list, this will work. Fun game: connect your phone while she's in the shower and put on different music. Choices are turn it off or get out of the shower.

No mine remembers every time. I just turn on my Bluetooth and it pairs right up. I'm using a nexus 5

Once connected, I've had no problems with the bluetooth. It has been somewhat finicky on the initial connection (sometimes requiring power down, slow connection, etc.), but has always worked.

If you have already paired it to another device, you have to unpair it from that device first, before pairing it with another. After that, you need to follow the instructions on pairing.

No it doesn't want to pair with my phone. If it does, my phone drops the connection automatically. If I try again, it won't pair at all.

You have to manually connect to this device after turning on your bluetooth on your phone.

I have tested that function this morning. It will NOT automatically "Connect". However, it does remember that it is a device that you have previously "Paired". So you will need to go into the setting/bluetooth and manually "Connect". Or just click on the name and it connects.

I do not use Bluetooth anymore. The reliability of the connection is so bad, it renders this feature useless. It was the whole reason I got the phone system to begin with. When I did connect the sound quality was fine.

If you have paired this item before, and the phone is in the range of bluetooth receiving ; so it can auto connect to your phone when you open. However, it cannot auto start music playback, which need operate by hands.Thanks a lot.

you may need to try again and again a few times before it actually works. I think it took us about five times. But it will eventually pair and once it pairs the first time, it will every time.
