Is anyone having Bluetooth issues? Volume is too low to be functional and BT firmware will not update

No I am not having those type of issues, but I have had some need of support, and in contacting Garmin support they have resolved my problems, including reinstalling updated firmware and software. So I advise you to go directly to them for help on these issues.

I agree that the volume is too low and particularly in a noisy environment hard to understand, but in my case I have found the BT function with this device to be unreliable. Most often it fails to make a connection and on incoming calls pressing the answer button on an incoming call is of no use, you cannot answer the call. I have tried to get help from Garmin but after 20 to 30 minutes hold the tech supt people are useless. I stated in my review of this product that if the BT function is important to you get another product. To be fair, however, I must add that when I ran into trouble updating the maps, tech Supt was outstanding and they solved the problem.

I could not get it to pair with anything. I have lots of BT devices so I'm pretty sure I did it correctly.

I have been using iPhone with BT to access the phone. It will likely do any phone I also have an android phone for work but did not hook it up. I have tried to play music via USB which is not in Andoid per my research. That is also gone in new Apple software. I use an old iPad or classic to go through usb to Kenwood. Use a device for music, classic with 160 GB is impossible to fill even with non compressed music. then access phone with bluetooth. When I get a call i push volume button and I'm talkin" hands free.

Go to the settings icon. See if Bluetooth is listed. If so, it should work.

Re-pair no, Settings connect yes. Another reason I got rid of my iPhone bluetooth functionality sucks. On my android I have a shortcut to all my bluetooth devices on my homescreen.

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 issues with mine at all. Have you tried updating the firmware?

Did you try removing the BT Adapter and placing it again? Hold de BT button in the adapter until it start blinking rapidly. That should work. Be sure no other BT device is linked.

No. We are working on getting BT on an improved model. But it doesn't have bluetooth as of now.

I have the same issue and would like to know how to extend the bluetooth range. I use the KX-TG7641M phone with bluetooth enabled hearing aids and find I have to be in the same room with the base station to use the bluetooth capability.

You need to have your bluetooth set to 'on' on your phone. The 1st time, may take 1 or 2 tries. After that, no problem.Then you can connect the radio. I've found the BT to work very well. I enjoy the Pandora & the phone works as should. Good luck & enjoy.

When you connect to the BT 1000 go to the tools and change the setting to speaker only/media only, that should fix it, I know my computer only recognizes only headphones, not speaker, but still works fine.

I've had no problems with my Iphone 4. great hands free calling. After I paired phone with unit I have not had to do it again. I suggest power down phone and restart it, same with JVC unit. Try to pair with unit again. if you continue to have problems I would check to see if bt dongle is faulty. here is link to jvc store shows picture. http://store.jvc.com/product.asp?Model=ks-ubt1

Do you have a usb port on your system? This is how the bt receiver gets it power. .. I used my cable box receiver to plug usb and worked fine. . Hope this helps

You have to select the BT Speaker on your phone and wait for them to connect. The speaker will announce "bluetooth connected" and then your ready to play your music. If the speaker doesn't announce it's connected it won't play. That's how I've noticed mines works. I have 2 of them. One for my restroom and one in the kitchen, I'm a music addict. Lol. Hope this helps!!
