Seems pretty straight forward except I cant figure where or how to enter the 4 digit code givin by the vehicles display. Its a non navigation vehicle. Where does one plug the code ? Even the youtube vids aren't any help.

If the vehicle/device is providing a code, that code is entered on the device not providing a code. Open your bluetooth on your phone and select pair device. Hopefully you will see the vehicle/device and end up being able to enter your code.

I've paired the phone to a bluetooth speaker which I listen to often. Im not able to type in the code givin. I can change the device by editing the code for the speaker but the car repeats Searching about 8 times then cant find the phone. Perhaps it can only be paired to 1 device at a time..I dunno. Not real important. Seen all the vids but cant make it work. Thank you just the same.

I have paired my android phone to my truck as well as headphones and a speaker.

If you have an iPhone, I can't help as I am not familiar with it.

For android, go to bluetooth (bt) settings on the phone. Scan for available devices and/or make sure your phone is visible. You should find the radio and then be able to pair to it.

Sadly, each carrier and phone model tend to put their own spin on things on the android platform which I why I am speaking in generalities instead of specifics.

Provide info on the phone and maybe more help will be possible?

Are you seeing the vehicle BT pop up on your phones search screen?

Phone is a LG Stylo4. I can turn on bluetooth. I pair it correctly with the car but when it gives the 4 digit code to type in my phone, Im not sure where to type code. Tech challenged..

I did it by golly ! Same as giving fire to a cave man... . Made my 1st call with the Sienna van. I am a advanced species..

Congratulations!!!

Thank you all. Some things are hard to learn.. . I got the power now. Way beyond the norm.

Glad you got it going. What was the keystone?

I just gave the system the name of my phone so no input code needed. I couldnt see it because it was right in front of me.. . Some people have been doing this for 10 years already. I will never get caught up..

When I paired my iPhone to a Honda Accord I purchased new, I had to find a card inside my Owner's Manual that had a code to input to pair. My Accord does have the Navigation if that made any difference.

I can say though, once paired it was a solid lock. I found I could leave my iPhone in my master bedroom and back out of the garage and almost half the way down my driveway before loosing the signal. Never a problem...however, with that said, since updating to iOS 13 I'm constantly having a verbal message that my iPhone didn't transfer my phone contact list over and I have to hit the back button on my navigation system until I do a "deep dive" to straighten it out but all my music works like a charm.

My Toyota Venza has a setup screen for Bluetooth and it's there that I changed the 4-digit code and also renamed the car's source from "CAR MULTIMEDIA" to "TOYOTA VENZA". I then went to the Bluetooth setting on my iPhone 6s Plus and selected "forget this device" for the car. I then allowed my iPhone to "rediscover" my car's Bluetooth and it was at that point I was prompted to key in the new code that I had set up.

I will agree...sometimes when my car's Bluetooth is trying to pair with my phone or iPad, it gets a little "wonky".
