Supertooth Buddy - Bluetooth Issue

Hi,

I'm having issues pairing my iPhone 4 with my bluetooth car handsfree kit - http://www.supertooth.net/EN/buddyspecs.htm.

The story goes as follows...!

I smashed my iPhone 4 by accident on Tuesday - this phone paired correctly with the handfree kit. I received a replacement phone Friday and set this up ready to use with the handsfree kit - however it will not find the Supertooth Buddy regardless of what I do.

I have tried everything. I even turned on the smashed phone to make sure that it would still connect - it did within seconds. I then clicked on 'forget this connection' and cleared the memory and tried to re-find the bluetooth kit - it wouldn't.

Is this due to a recent update on the iPhone software or am I missing something - i'm using OS 4.3.3?

I have tried everything so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

iPhone 4

This is what I received from Supertooth and it solved my problem. The key info in this email is that you had to hold your finger on the ON/OFF button for 10 SECONDS!!!!!! If I'm not mistaken that was not mentioned in their FAQ page or instrctions with the device:

Your Supertooth BUDDY must be in pairing mode before searching from thephone.1. From OFF, press and hold the On/Off button for 10 secondes until theBluetooth Indicator turns blinking red/blue. The handsfree kit is now inpairing mode.2. While the handsfree kit is in pairing mode, access the Bluetooth menuof your phone. Turn on the Bluetooth function and execute a Bluetoothsearch. (See your phone's manual.)3. When the phone displays the list of Bluetooth devices, select STBUDDY.4. If the phone asks for the password/pin code, enter 0000 and press Ok.5. The handsfree kit is now ready to use.
