I have one of these and it worked great for a while. Now when I power it on it will stay stuck in Bluetooth mode, can't get to radio. Any suggestions?

Its a BAD product. Pure and simple. Throw it out. When I bought one the USB inlet fell inside the cabinet. And I am very easy on technology.

I'm sorry I don't know what I heart radio is but your right direction s are useless I would un pair And try pairing them again if that don't work try pairing to different device to make sure there working they come up sport bt on pairing lists on my kindle Your phone also may have picked up another blue tooth item in vicinity so try it out those few ways hope this helps. I hate auto correct..lol had to edit 2x

For mine I hold the power button firmly for about ten seconds. Takes longer than you'd think. I turn it off from the FM setting. Pressing the power button quickly cycles between FM and Bluetooth. It will play a sound and go off. Hope this works for you.

You got to be smarter than your equipment your using.. Just kidding I have the same problem trying to get the FM radio to work on it, Bad design but cheap price so you got to expect that. I would reccomend buying a IPOD lol

I preset my 1st position on my stereo to the Bluetooth station so if I'm listening to the stereo I have to hit my number 1 preset then answer the call for the Bluetooth to Work. Just make sure your device is facing forward the speaker is small and if facing away people say it is hard to hear. Hope that helps. on a side note I use mine every day and beyond love it works so well and is ALWAYS clear sound.

Hi John, I do not care for this device. It does act weird. I think you are to hold the on/off button down a few seconds. My Bluetooth part of the radio never worked. I actually don't even use this device.

Yes, this seems to be a common problem across all BMW radios. I use mine on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. The Bluetooth drops, and comes back on every 10-15 minutes or so. Can get quite annoying. The only way out is to rip out the factory radio and put in an aftermarket unit with a dash kit. I ruins the aesthetics of the dash. But you do gain all the new technological features (HD/Sat radio, Pandora, BT streaming...etc).

I've noticed it times out if not used. I ran power from my radio accessory feed so it doesn't stay on all the time. Some times I will have to turn the key off and then back on so it resets and connects.

Hi Elaine... Yup I have the same process going on- probably the only downer - I have to grab another device and go thru Bluetooth settings to rediscover and hit the button on the unit - a bit frustrating. I'm still super happy with it for the price ! Hope that helps ..,. Ciao'

I have not had that problem. Check and make sure your Lithium battery is good. My first radio is still working fine. But I ordered a digital radoe to up-grade. That one would NOT shut off. So I replaced it and it works well. I know, not much help. Sorry

I haven't had that problem. Best thing I could recommend is trying to re-pair the bluetooth to the phone again and see if it helps.

Try turning your Bluetooth on and off, that works for me when I lose connection, beats going over and unplugging speakers

I haven't had any such problems... my only thoughts would be you do have it plugged in on the input side, not the output side. Bluetooth; it's not linked to another Bluetooth source. When I would grab ours if it was within range of say my daughters Ipod and still linked to that Ipod then I could not access it until we unlinked it. Hope this helps.

there must be something wrong with your connections or you have a bad radio i have never had to reset mine. What happens to make you have to reset it?

I've had mine 2 yrs now and after about 1.5 years the Bluetooth was not connecting automatically. My device would just keep searching and searching. So, I have to manually connect to the speaker from my ipad or iphone. Not a big deal but it's a pain. I've had other speakers that don't have this problem.
