Pairing iPhone 4 with 2008 Rogue

[aidan1230]

Hi,

Has anyone had difficulty pairing their new iPhone with the Rogue's bluetooth? My iPhone just thinks and thinks and thinks but never gets "discovered." Everything is working properly with the car's system.

I searched the forum back to the date of the iPhone 4 release and didn't find anything. Forgive me if someone has already addressed this issue.

Thanks for any tips!

Go to http://www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/ and put in your info, This should help you.

I did that already. The iPhone 4 is not listed in the recommended phones, the not recommended phones OR the phones currently being tested. It's not mentioned at all.

I have not had any difficulty with mine, although I went through the option of replacing phones instead of deleting and adding.

I went from replacing my 3gs to the iphone 4 on the rogue with no problem.

Worse case you might want to completely deleting your old phone before adding a new one.

Thanks, Igg. I tried replacing first (I previously had an LG Chocolate). When that didn't work, I deleted and tried adding.

I have a 30K mile service appointment at Nissan on Saturday. I may see if they can help me.

It's funny how the bluetooth says to consult your phone's user manual and the phone's manual says to consult your vehicle's bluetooth instructions. Grrr.

Did you get it to work?

Igg, is your Rogue a 2008?

[aidan1230]

I did. I am not sure what happened. I tried it the other day and did all the same things, and the car's system found it within 5 seconds.

I just can't see the incoming numbers on the radio display, but that's not a huge deal. I think others have had that same issue.

No mine is a 2010 but i don't think they've updated the radio at all. Also the iphone 4 have and still do, bluetooth issues. iOS 4.1 was supposed to have fixed some of it.

I've tried everything imaginable with my 2008 and iPhone 4 w/ iOS 4.1... My next step is to see if Nissan will replace my Bluetooth module, which probably won't help either. (My only hope is that maybe the BT firmware in a new module might have been updated since 2008.)

hi i'm new to this so please forgive me if this has already been answered. but can someone tell me how to get the incoming numbers to display on the radio display when someone calls in? I have an iphone 3G. i've tried repairing it, but it still doesn't work. It used to show up the name and number, but i think when i upgraded the software to 4.0, it didnt show neither the name nor number. can anyone help please? i have having to look at my phone when someone calls in. thanks!

From what I can tell, people in this very thread are saying that there is an issue with IOS4 and the Rogue's BT system.

I also have NO incoming numbers with my iPhone 4.

I meant I have the 4s iPhone and my wife has their hone 5. I would lve to have the incoming callers phone number be displayed.

You have to find a phone that supports transferring contacts to the Rogue's BT system. The only one I've run across so far is the really old LG Voyager my wife had when I first met her 5 years ago. Nothing we've used since then (Blackberry, Android, IOS) supports the method of contact transfer that the Rogue's system uses.

Even if you do find one it's a tedious process to transfer each contact one by one.

BT on some of the newer cars I've driven seems much better in this regard as you can easily transfer the entire phonebook with at least some of the newer systems out there.

rjchoops, did you not see this post?

I have a 2008 rogue with the Bose radio and Bluetooth and an iPhone 4S and my wife has the iPhone 5. My question is how do I get the screen on the dash radio screen to show the phone number when I get a call? The Bluetooth works and I can answer the call but no number comes up.

Um, get a Droid.

Apple iPhone 4
Phonebook Access: NA
Phonebook Download (Single Entry): NA
Phonebook Download (Entire Phonebook): NA

You cannot download the Phonebook from the iPhone to your head unit. Just for giggles, do you have caller ID turned on? http://grok.lsu.edu/article.aspx?articleid=16393

Are you on the Verizon network? Here's a suggestion from Apple support:
1. Call Verizon at *228 and hit option 1 to re-program
2. Double-tap home to get multi-tasking bar and kill the phone app

BTW, Bluetooth display issues seem to be a common bug with the iPhone 4.

Or, do like I (jokingly) suggested before, get a Droid!
