    Does Rockfish and Toyota say they are compatible with your model iPod and its iOS?

    You can ry:

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    - Reset the car system and the Rockfish device

    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup. See:

    iOS: How to back up

    Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    I have tried various resets as you suggested.

    As an experiment, I also looked to see if this new iPod Touch would connect to my new MacBook Air.

    While it goes through the process of recognition ( and provides a code number to verify) it does not PAIR.

    Is it possible that this new iPod Touch could have a defective BLUETOOTH?

    As I mentioned in my first query, with the Rockfish Bluetooth Music Receiver, the iPod sometimes sees it and then,

    again, refuses to PAIR.

    I have owned Apple's since the Apple Iic, and bought the first iPhone and first iWatch so I am somewhat familiar with

    Apple products.   This Bluetooth failure is frustrating.

    An iOS device like an iPod touch does not included the bluetooth profiles to usefully pair with a computer.
