Enter into your Bluetooth options on the Pioneer and clear all devices from memory.

Then open the bluetooth screen on your phone and FORGET the Pioneer device. Then re-scan for bluetooth devices. Does it find the Pioneer? Attempt to connect. Does it connect? If you're still having problems, do a master reset on the Pioneer. Use a paper clip or something to push the tiny bottom on the bottom left corner of the display. Push and hold it in for awhile. Try again. Still not working? If your phone doesn't even find the Pioneer, something is wrong internal to the Pioneer. You can't stop the Pioneer from transmitting Bluetooth, so if none of your devices even find it, then it's faulty (unlikely).

Swing by a local shop and ask them to take a quick look.

  • Will this Pioneer head unit fit in my 2005 Honda Civic EX? I just bought a 2005 Honda Civic EX as my first car and wanted to get a better set up where I could hook my iPhone up to. I was looking at this Pioneer head unit and was wondering if it would fit in the car. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/CD-Receivers/DEH-X6500BT If it would fit, how much would it cost to install? I'm 16 and can't install it myself unfortunately, so I would need to pay somebody to do it.
  • Will an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 work on an Alpine iDA-X305S head unit? I own an Alpine iDA-X305S head unit which is iPod/iPhone compatible, it allows me to control the music (and Pandora internet radio) from the unit. I'm looking forward to upgrade my iPhone with iOS7, but I would like to know if there's some kind of compatibility issue with the head unit and this new OS. Since the unit doesn't have a CD playback, losing compatibility with the head unit would practically leave me with FM and USB flash drive capabilities in my car.
