I need to know how to connect my cellphone to my alpine stereo via bluetooth

Have you had the battery removed at any time before this happened or been jump started ?

You can do it in different ways.

If you have a cable for your Nokia cellphone and you have a Nokia PCsuite, then just connect your cellphone to your laptop via the USB slot.

If your cellphone and laptop has Bluetooth, you can transfer your files wirelessly. Just connect them via bluetooth and choose "transfer" or "copy" the pictures you want to transfer then choose "via Bluetooth".

If you save the pictures in your cellphone's memory card, you can remove the memory card, insert it in a card reader, then insert the card reader into your computer.

First you need to pair your bluetooth with your cellphone. Go to your cellphones manual and look on how to pair it with a bluetooth. You would need the passcode for pairing, after that then you connect your bluetooth to your phone. Sometimes it depends also on what kind of cellphone you have. Some older model of cellphones are not compatible with the newer bluetooth. Let me know if this works.

From what Ive read, you its not possible to connect an iPhone to another cellphone via Bluetooth. You can only connect handsfree, speakers etc via the Bluetooth on the iPhone.

Your headset can be used as stereo headphones or a wireless microphone for a bluetooth enabled device like a cell phone or a computer. When you plug the headphones into a device with the 3.5mm jack the headset automatically turns into stereo headphones and disables the microphone(headphone mode). It sounds like whatever device your headset is connected to via bluetooth is using the wireless microphone protocol where sound only comes through the one speaker and the microphone is on(microphone mode). The bluetooth protocol settings of your device may have been changed accidentally. You will need to go into the bluettoth settings of your device you are using with your headset and change the protocol. If it is a cell phone you will need to go into the bluetooth settings in the settings menu. If it is a computer your can adjust the bluetooth settings in the control panel.

You can download the pdf file of your instruction manual for your headset here

I hope this was helpful and let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for using FixYa

2. You can also connect your phone via bluetooth. Adjust bluetooth device on your computer. On your phone bluetooth and easily connect your phone with computer. Now send and receive data from your computer and cellphone.

Hello maslynab,

The Alpine CDA-9886 is Bluetooth ready but requires an adapter such as Alpine's KCE-400BT or a generic adapter in order to pair with a phone.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jared,

The EX-10 was never intended to be an accessory to the IDA-X300, but should work with FM modulation like any other radio, by making sure the FM frequency is set the same on both units. There are four preset channels in the EX-10 but you can change each one to any frequency.

As for the bluetooth mic connection, you must have that connected for the bluetooth to work. You are better off installing a KCE-400BTi handsfree kit to get better functionality, increased phone compatibility, increased audio quality and the ability to use all of the newer iPods (Gen 2 iTouch, Gen 4 Nano and iPhone 3G).

Hope it helps,

Marcel.

Hello serafineb,

The Alpine Full Speed cable for the iPod supports the following versions:

Fourth generation iPod
Fifth generation iPod
iPod photo
iPod mini
iPod nano

According to their website it does not appear that Alpine currently has a cable for the iPod touch. They do, however, make a "generic" cable for most MP3 players that connects directly to the earphone jack. Although this would not allow you to control the iPod from your stereo's head unit, you should be able to connect the iPod touch via this cable to play music through your car stereo.

More information about the "generic" cable can be found here.

Best Regards,
Ken
