Bluetooth connectivity issues with Sony MEX-BT2800

Just got the Sony MEX-BT 2800 audio deck my my Hyundai Santa Fe. System was professionally installed. Now for the life of me it will not connect to Bluetooth at all for wireless audio streaming. It technically should work. I've read on other forums people seem to not have this issue. I called Sony and they said it was an issue with Apple's iOS4. I'm running the latest iOS4 update. HELP! Anyone else have this issue? should I take my Sony deck back?

Imac G5, iOS 4

agreed...

I have the same one - or maybe the earlier model. It worked fine with my iPhone 3G and the iPhone 4 won't recognise it at all.

I spoke with sony supplier and they suggested downloading the driver updates to a usb stick and then plugging that into the sony headset.

I have all the latest apple updates.

this is so frustrating!

It seems as though bluetooth for this model may not support the iphone. However it does have the ability to physically connect an ipod to the system.

Tech Specs:

You need to purchase the accessory sold separate as stated in the foot notes:

"1.Not all MP3, WMA, AAC files may playback due to file variations. Copyright protected ACC-LC files cannot be played back.

2.iPod® connectivity requires optional adaptor (XA-120IP)."

Hope that helps.

I have the same deck at first i was getting weird noises over the BT Audio. Look in the manual and do a reset of the deck and resync and you should be fine. My iPhone 4 works great after that.
