Cellphone needs to be close to the unit, right? Does an iPhone automatically see this unit and connect to it (rather than to a headset)?

The clarity is much better if the phone is close. I used it with a different phone, and no longer use the Xlink (had to get a landline eventually and the Xlink I bought didn't integrate that) but I now have an iPhone and find it does exceptionally well with detecting and auto-connecting to paired devices so it should work great with the Xlink BT.

There should be a blue light on The device before you start pairing. I do not know if it is compatible with iPhone since i have android.

This means the connection between the cell phone and the hands free unit is via blue tooth. NOTE: I tried this with my iPhone 5 and it stopped working.

I use a Iphone4S with no problems. When you see the OBDII network you have to click on it and then It should connect. I also noticed that my unit will not connect if it is cold and only room temperature and above.If this doesn't work maybe there is a incompatibility problem or you may possibly have a defective unit. This unit has worked on several vehicles without a problem.

I have the same problem. I have also had it not connect with my iPhone until another device makes a connection first. I have not found an answer yet but will keep an eye out and report back here if I do.

Mine paired automatically with my iPhone. Here is a link from Motorola: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/55334/action/auth This is one of the best units I have used! Good luck!~

I have an iPhone4 (iOS 6), but assuming your Bluetooth is on, hold down the power button (the white one in between the volume controls), once it starts blinking, it should connect. If it doesn't, while the headset is blinking click the device (mine says BA-88) under the Settings>Bluetooth in your iPhone. Sometimes I have to make a few attempts, but if you don't turn your Bluetooth off, it should auto connect after that. Hope this helps.

My iphone does. But you need to make sure the connection is tight and make sure it's seated all the way.

Is there something else already connecting to the speaker right now? This happened to me and it was because if was trying to connect my Ipod but my phone was in range connecting to it.

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

I believe it's blue tooth. The cell phone will be noticed within 50 feet of the automobile by the unit. Usually, by the time you open the door, the unit is speaking, letting you know that you are connected.

Yes I have this problem as well. The iPhone needs to be very close to the sound bar to not skip.

Yes, if your cell phone has Bluetooth and is near the headset, within 15 feet or so.

Not that I am aware of. Your headset still has to be connected to your phone. I have had mine a while and I love it.

I am almost never close to the monitor or know that it has this feature. When I set this system up, and I have set up two systems in different places, I do not recall activating or that it has this feature. Otherwise, I love it and sometimes take the monitor out of the base to make observations. Being able to look in on both systems from my cell phone is a plus. Using my iPhone I can take pictures of my observations.

If you are connected to this device with your iPhone, then connect to your headset to your iPhone, it will disconnect this device. You can only connect to one bluetooth device at a time.
