Ok, I know the answer is probably on here somewhere however...
I can't get my new iPhone to bluetooth pair with the uconnect in my 2019 Cross. the dealer set it up for me on my old phone when I collected the car and that all worked fine.
Is there a pairing setting on the head unit? Does the phone need to be plugged in to the USB? I keep getting a message on the phone with a code which is says should be replicated on the radio but nothing on the radio then it says 'unable to pair etc'
Help/tips welcomed
So, as you've tried so far and not got it, make sure any "RADIO_BT" or variation of that is forgotten on your iPhone Bluetooth settings screen. Tap the arrow next to it and 'Forget device' so we're starting fresh,
On the Panda, if there is (but I doubt it) any phone paired I'd remove it too to start afresh.
Now, on the speedometer centre screen where the phone pairing happens, go to Settings and Pairing. Your car should now be ready to connect to.
On the iPhone, with Bluetooth on you'll see something like 'Radio BT', press ONCE to join.
Press 'Pair' when it comes up with a code on the screen, all while doing nothing on the car end. Give it time, Bluetooth is slow to propagate in my experience.
Hopefully it'll successfully pair and you can choose whether to sync contacts or not to the car (I would if it's mostly only going to be used by you). If not, try again but it can be rather frustrating.
The Panda uConnect system is so tedious and basic this best sums it up: :bang: If I knew the wheel controls and the system would be so annoying and basic I'd not have valued that so much when buying the new car lol
But when your phone is paired it'll generally always connect no issue each time you get in and drive automatically and never disconnect. Though skipping to the next track is delayed slightly and easily overloaded due to Bluetooth technology. It should prove to be reliable and convenient as it should once finally paired.
Please let me know if that works, if not I'll try do a video of me doing it which might be easier to follow once I get my Panda back. Wouldn't be a bad guide to have for everyone for future reference.
