Having just purchased a Bluetooth to FM adapter for my car in October, I was beyond upset when my new IPhone 4s didn't connect. It also belligerently refused to connect via Bluetooth to my old iphone, to my computer, and to my iPad. Having expressed my frustration to 'Seri', probably in terms a sailor could more readily understand, Seri politely responded, ' I"m sorry you feel that way.' Sitting outside of Best Buy, ready to go in and purchase yet another IPhone to FM adapter, I thought I'd give it one last shot. Turned Bluetooth on phone off. Turned phone off. Unplugged Bluetooth receiver, then turned car off. Turned car back on, phone back on, phone bluetooth back on, plugged Bluetooth receiver back in, then held down the buttons on the receiver for 10 - 20 seconds. Magically, the car Bluetooth device appeared on the IPhone with an option to connect. I don't know if this is a solution for everyone and every Bluetooth device...but is certainly worth a try.
