Tips for re-pairing iPhone with car...

Hi guys,

Maybe this will save someone the half hour I just spent working out why I couldn't repair my iPhone 3GS with the 135 after it had a firmware (the car) upgrade.

The symptom: There were no paired devices. Fair enough, I'll just re-pair it. Nup. The device is still in the iPhone and the 'Forget this device' option doesn't seem to work and I don't get a PIN option on the phone when I enter it on the car.

The solution is one of the following:

Power off and reset the iPhone.
Turn off WiFi.
Don't enter the SIM PIN until paired.

I did all those at once, after some Google research and then I could delete the car from the iPhone menu and then it was as per the manual.

Have fun.

Simon....
