My new Otter box won't let my phone pair with the blue tooth in my car now! What do I do ?

It's not the OtterBox that is causing the problem. You must go to your settings on your phone, select blue tooth, and initiate the pairing from there.

I'm sorry but this has nothing to do with the case. Check the Bluetooth hardware in your car, or contact apple for help.

I had the same problem. It never would pair. To late to send it back. Sorry I can't be of any help!

Sorry, I use my Bluetooth only in the car. Call VTech as they may be able to help you.

Updated for those of you having this pairing problem with the big speaker.It will pair with your phone if you just plug it in, or at least think it is paired. It will play your calls through it, but not music.You need to do as the first commentor said and hold that button down between the volume buttons until it beeps and goes into pairing mode. Then you should be able to find it again and it will play music.If you previously paired without holding the button down, you should forget the device on your iPhone. Turn the speaker off and on and then use the button. The iPhone should be able to see it again after that. I almost sent mine back until I looked up the page for the large size.

Try adding your car under bluetooth devices on your phone as well as adding your phone on the car's bluetooth. My sony flip works well with the 3 cars I've tried it in.

You have to turn on your device/phone's blue tooth and make it Accessible to other devices. It'll Pop Up On Your List Of Devices as Cube fish And It Should Start Pairing At That point. If not power the speaker down completely and then turn your blue tooth stuff on before you Turn The Speaker On So That It Recognizes Your Phone Or Device first. I've also had the problem if other devices are already connected to it it won't recognize yours and will automatically connect to the first one paired. So try the second option first if that happens.

iirc I had this problem too at first. Look under the properties of the other bluetooth devices you have and *un*check media from them. Leave this as the only one with media selected (or only one connected at any one time).For me turned out my parrot speakerphone in my car was set for media and so my phone defaulted to that.

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'

My only suggestion is to make sure the bluetooth on the phone is enabled and make sure it is not pairing with another bluetooth device.

Hi, Try this: First make sure that the bluetooth headset is OFF. Then When the bluetooth is off. try pressing the middle button and keep holding it. first the light will turn on flashing. keep ur finger pressed even after that. after like 5-10 more seconds it should become a flashing red & blue light then try to pair it with the cell phone. If your phone asks you for a passcode then enter fours zeros (0000). Let me know how it goes. Thanks... Isaac @ BluetoothPlus

That sound is the Bluetooth signal pairing its still in the search mode mode . You should be able to turn it off by just holding down that button.

First off, is you cell phone Blue Tooth compatable? If so, that setting must be on before you try to start up the headset. Then, make sure the headset is charged up. When this is done, push and hold the button on the side of the earpiece untill you hear the tones, and when they stop, let go of the button, and the phone and headset should be connected. I too had a little trouble figuring this out when I first tried to connect. If you still can't connect, I'd talk with the dealer for your phone next. If that doesn't work, you should contact Amazon by going to their "Let Us Help You" section and click on "Help". First off, is you cell phone Blue Tooth compatable?

It says Otter box. I've talked to other people who have had this same problem too.

On the cable that is pluged in to the cigarette lighter it has a split of wire to plug into auxiliary of the radio. That should make it work. Make sure your sound on your phone is up too. If your car has the hands free you have to read the bluetooth setup for your car. Hope that helps!

Yeah you can, just go to your Bluetooth settings and it should be an option to change it. But I recommend you get the gogroove Bluetooth audio aux receiver, its way better for the car. I made the switch!
