Default Can't connect to audio bluetooth on Iphone 3GS with OS 4.1

Hi guys,

I can't connect to audio bluetooth on Iphone 3GS with OS 4.1. It keeps saying searching for the device. Note: I still can make and receive call via phone bluetooth on my Iphone. Can someone tell me the steps how to setup the audio bluetooth? Or is it a bug in OS 4.1 (like I searched in Google)....

I have OS 4.1 on an iPhone 4, and have had no issues w/ Bluetooth audio or with the connection to use the handsfree feature for calls...in fact, my daughter even added her iPhone to the list of Bluetooth audio devices so she can play from her iPod if she wants to...

Hi wmkim,

Thanks for your reply. I've figured out how to connect the bluetooth audio, however I have to unregister my bluetooth phone first otherwise it won't let me register my bluetooth audio. Could you tell me the steps you did it? Sounds to me you are able to use your iPhone 4 for both bluetooth audio and phone.

You need to separately register the phone and the music player on the car.

Hey there, glad you got it working. I was just about to walk through my steps; you saved me some typing.

On a different note...have you compared the sound between the USB input and the Bluetooth audio input? On mine the USB input seems to have more random blips/clicks of interference...barely noticeable...but still can still hear it when it happens. Bluetooth is consistent though... anyway, glad you got it working!

Yes, I can tell slightly different between USB and Bluetooth audio input. In my case, the sound produced from USB sounds a bit weaker; the bluetooth is clearer! About the blips/clicks of interference from USB, I think I hear that too.
