So I'm scrolling down this page thinking, at least it's not me but please let me find the fix. The guy w/ the on/off 4 times, I wonder if it is still working. Mine is a crapshoot everytime I go in the car. This is NOT going to work for me. Please, is there any update to this?? My issue is the same as RDBLK (are you a roulette player by chance?).
I believe that the problem may be that in some installations of the Pioneer BTB200 Bluetooth unit, the power connection is turned off with the ignition key removal. Pioneer installation instructions call for the +12 volt connection to be wired (through an appropriate fuse) to an "always on" connection to the battery. The drain on the battery is very low and should not be an issue. This should correct the problem.
My setup is an AVIC-D3 with the CD-BTB200 module and connects whenever I have the D3 turned on. And. I've turned it on over 4 times!
On a different note:
I hope that Apple can improve their Bluetooth implementation so that we all can transfer contacts. Apple will tell you to read your "other" devices mauual. Period.
Funny that I've used 4 different (non-Apple) phones with the D3 and other head units and never had a problem transferring contacts. (The phones were LG and Samsung.)
If anyone has a solution to the contact transfer problem , please share it with the group.
I am having the same problem as RDBLK. When I try to pair my iPhone 4 from my AVIC D3 I get an "Invalid Device" message. I have not yet tried time and time again so I cannot prove or disprove the theory that it "only works sometimes". This is a frustrating problem though. My Blackberry never had a problem connecting to my D3.
I solved the exact same problem. I have an iphone 4s and a Pioneer AVIC D3 and could not get this Apple phone or my last Blackberry to auto connect. I had to manually connect each time in the car. Here is the solution.
This is a two step process: 1st: Pair the phone 2nd: Register the phone.
After initially getting the phone to connect to the AVIC, you must "Register" the phone with the Pioneer unit.
Go to the Pioneer Manual and read page 106 for instruction to "Register". (Simply touch and hold the "user Phone 1" once the phone is paired)
YOU MAY BE TRYING THIS FROM THE WRONG DIRECTION. TRY PAIRING FROM THE D3 TO THE IPHONE. pfindly SEEMS TO HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA. I FOUND IT IN THE CD-BTB200 OWNER'S MANUAL. TURN THE SOURCE OFF ON THE D3. NOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE BLUETOOTH SETTINGS TO PAIR AND REGISTER. SO FAR SO GOOD.
WORKED ON MY iPHONE 4s (iOS-5.0).

My iPhone4 has not been connecting to my btb200 automicatically either while my 3gs did. ! I have been struggling with this since I got an iPhone4 and finally figured it out today.
I do not have an AVIC-D3. Instead I have a group one pioneer head unit that also uses the btb200. The key is that non-AVIC head units can only regisater one phone at a time.
How to autoconnect:
I connected the phone to the bluetooth from the iPhone's Bluetooth menu. Then I put my pioneer unit on Bluethooth for source and TEL for band. THen I cycled on the function key until I was in FUNC2. Then I pressed the up arrow/button on the head unit. A few seconds later... phone was Registered!
I turned the car off an back on... it auto connected. This is the best thing ever.
