Hi,

I can’t get my iPhone to pair with one of the work vans (2014 facelift Sprinter) for BT audio streaming. The van’s headunit shows the option of bluetooth audio as an option for media streaming, and says “searching for device”. The head unit then shows up on my iPhone , but the phone refuses to pair saying the head unit is unsupported. After this, the phone refuses to even recognise the van as a device anymore and it no longer shows up on my Bluetooth search list on the phone. Any ideas?

The van does have AUX, just rather would use BT as I don’t want to risk losing the cable (in and out of different vans regularly, but this is the one I most use)


PS:

Anyone with a Sprinter, this is the HU I’m referring to (basic jobbie)

I don’t know the exact problem, but iPhone updates all the time and it’s entirely likely your older head unit is no longer supported. Are you able to try an older iPhone or an android?
