As with most Mp3 players that have FM radios, it usues the headphones as the antenna. kinda lame

No, I'm afraid not. The unit only transmits to an FM stereo receiver, such as in your car or home stereo/portable media player. WiFi & Bluetooth are entirely different.

Hi Sheryl -- please reach out to us at support@lil-gadgets.com so we can diagnose a little bit better. Here's a quick link on the Bluetooth feature

I would go to the Kenwood site and find out if there is a newer firmware version for the BT300 than your current version. I updated mine a while back and have since sold the car it was installed in. As I recall the update was done using a Bluetooth connection between the BT300 and my Bluetooth capable laptop and the whole process was pretty easy following the instructions they gave. Have no idea if they have a Mac version. There are some setup selections in the head units Bluetooth settings that could be affecting your phone connection and as I remember you have to turn off and not allow the connection to playback audio files on your phone or you will have the problem of sporadic phone call capability connection.

No, if you have a iPhone there is a app called tunelink and that you have to download in order for the device and it plays over the radio and turn the Bluetooth on on your phone to connect to the device!

Hi,that doesnt work. Bluetooth doesnt give this advantage. Best regards,Jens

Sorry, I have only ever used FM. But that is mediocre at best as well. I mainly use my iPhone with the supplied cable to play music.

I have experienced this with 'pairing' in general. For whatever reason, a weak battery or charge tends to complicate the pairing process. I have just accepted the fact that Bluetooth is a finicky technology.

Did you program the radio yet? I just two of these and the same thing happened to but until I uploaded new frequencies following the instructions at http://www.miklor.com/BF888/

I can't answer definitively, as I've never tried it, but if your bluetooth device is capable of receiving and transmitting FM programming, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

not really, however that is a problem with digital tuners, the same thing can happen with fm, you are most likely at the fringe point of that 1100 station. Good luck.

Please keep both devices on by pressing the buttons for a few seconds. They should normally pair. I have tried and was successfull. Please make sure that you have a transmitter. I had a bitter experience once that I received a receiver instead of a transmitter. I reported the matter to the dealer and got my money back.

Although I don't have bluetooth headphones to verify this for certain, it seems unlikely that you will be able to do that based on a couple of pieces of suggestive evidence - (1) the bluetooth mode is switched on by a button marked "Source" that switches the unit between FM, bluetooth, and auxiliary input. As far as I can tell, there's no way of keeping both the FM and the bluetooth on at the same time. (2) The manual makes no mention of any bluetooth transmission functionality. So, I'm pretty sure that this thing can use bluetooth for audio on receiving mode only.

I thought same thing and I got 2 pairs neither one had Bluetooth access it only had mp3 and they would replace either pair with Bluetooth ones

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

Well, the easiest way for me is to simply go to my Bluetooth setting and it will say something like this... "XT1032" only visible to paired device's. Let me know if that works out for you.

Bluetooth runs in the same frequency bands as many other wireless items, such as home phones and wifi hubs etc, it might be that you have wireless interference causing this problem. I also agree with ntscdan, it could be batteries or age of iPod. I am sure you done this anyway, but try moving the speaker and iPod to a different room, you could also try deleting the relationship and pairing again. If none of that works, try pairing a different item such as mobile phone or laptop and check the results.
