My iphone 3g will not pair w/ bluetooth headset. Bluetooth menu just cycles over and over.

Hi, the iPhone 3G definitely does work with bluetooth. In fact, I'm talking on a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 3G right now.

You have to put both your Southern Telecom Emerson Bluetooth Headsetand the iPhone in "pairing mode".

On your iPhone, click the Menu button, tap the Settings icon, tap the General icon, and then tap the Bluetooth icon. Make sure that 'Bluetooth' is set to "ON" and not "OFF". As long as you have this screen up, your iPhone is in pairing mode.

Turn your Southern Telecom Emerson Bluetooth Headset off and wait a few seconds. On your Southern Telecom Emerson Bluetooth Headset, press and hold and Answer/End button for Five Seconds, until a solid blue light comes on, which places the device in Bluetooth discoverable mode.

Now that both devices are 'discoverable', the Southern Telecom Emerson Bluetooth Headset will show up on that Bluetooth screen on your iPhone. Be patient as it might take a minute to appear. Tap on the Southern Telecom Emerson Bluetooth Headsetin the list on your iPhone, and then it will ask you for a passkey. The passkey is "0000" (without the quotes). After you enter the passkey, the Southern Telecom Emerson Bluetooth Headset will show up on the list with the word "Paired" next to it.

Now you're paired! Incoming calls will automatically be passed to your headset as long as your iPhone can find it nearby.

Good luck.

1.From the main home screen of the iphone open "SETTINGS".


2.From the setting menu go to "GENERAL".


3.From General go to "BLUETOOTH".


4.In the Bluetooth menu you will see an on/off switch. Make sure you turn the switch to "ON".



5.From here you want to go to your bluetooth headset. Hold the on button for about 5-10 seconds until the light starts blinking. Once light is blinking go back to iphone.



6.In the Bluetooth menu (same as step 4) your iphone should have discovered your bluetooth headset. However if it is not paired yet. Open the headset menu.


7.In the headset menu you are required to enter the appropriate PIN number (which should be given inside your bluetooth headset instruction manual).



8.After you have entered the correct PIN number press connect.

Hi,
did you pair the iPhone with the car, using Bluetooth?
it sounds like the car is expecting you to connect a headset so that you can bet heard using the headset's microphone.
if you did pair the iPhone with the car using Bluetooth, then look into the car's menu to see how you can choose which device can be used while you speak... the iPhone or a headset.
good luck!
