Bluetooth not discovering anything

In each case, the peripheral device needs to be put into pairing mode in order for your phone to see it and put the pairing process into motion. Your new iPhone is looking for Bluetooth devices, but none (including your SF module and your radio) are announcing that they are available for pairing. You will need to push the BT Pair button on each device in order to let your phone know they are there.


Look at each peripheral device's pairing instructions for help if the procedure isn't obvious. Good luck.
