Default Bluetooth Help

Seems like everyone is enjoying their Bluetooth except me lol. Have a sprint phone without bluetooth, went through sprint to buy an adpater that plugs in to the headset jack to convert it to bluetooth. I've tried most of the night to connect it through the Phone system no work though. Tried to javva it to convert it over but still nothing. I didn't start the car just to the acc spot. The only thing that made sense that I wouldn't be able to do is enter 1212 onto my phone to activate it. Which i couldn't do because i don't have a bluetooth spot on my phone to do so. Just seeing if anyone has had this problem or using other shortcuts to connect it through a non bluetooth phone.

Any tips or anything would be great!

Thanks Justin

i hate to break it to you but it can't be done without a bluetooth phone. the adapter only sends voice and our trucks need data also which the bluetooth adapters don't provide. the adapter you bought will let you use your non-bluetooth phone with a bluetooth headset, but not with a bluetooth capable vehicle. me and you are stuck on the same boat going down stream with no paddle. The aftermarket companies have caught on and are trying to come up with a solution.....let's see how long this takes

Like 2lexos said, you need a bluetooth phone I have a BT phone b/c I'm sure there would be alot of missing features without a BT phone.
Sorry, not much help here.
