If you’ve ever had a car kit fitted, chances are that the engineer who fitted it paired your phone to it for you and it ‘just worked’ without you having to do anything to set it up. The only downside to this of course, is when you upgrade your phone you’re left with a car kit thats looking for an old phone, and a new phone that can’t find the car kit.
If you’re anything like me, user manuals get thrown in the back of a drawer, never to be seen again, so figuring out how to get your new phone to work with your Parrot car kit could be quite a challenge. To help you out, We’ve put a quick guide together on how to pair your phone with some of the most recent car kits. So as long as you know how to search for Bluetooth devices on your phone you should get connected again in no time at all.

Before you can start to use your Plantronics Bluetooth Headset you will need to pair it with your phone. Pairing is the name of the process that allows your phone to find and connect with another Bluetooth device. In order to pair your devices you will need to put your headset into pairing mode and enter a passkey.
For detailed instructions on how to pair your Bluetooth Headset to your phone, Plantronics have created a pairing guide.
Now, I do have to warn you, it is a little bit cheesy and is designed for use in America, but it still tells you what you need to know to get your phone and headset to talk to each other.
Service Provider:
As I mentioned before, this pairing guide is aimed at the American market, so the Service Providers/Networks listed here are USA networks. Its not a problem though, just select “Other” from the bottom of the list.
Phone Manufacturer:
This guide will help set up headsets with standard mobiles and smartphones. If your device is a Smartphone, choose “Other PDAs”, if its a normal mobile phone, choose “Other Phones”
Phone Model:
You’ll only have the option here for other phone, and an image of a Motorola V3 will be displayed. Don’t worry too much about this, the steps for pairing are similar for all phones. If you want to try and find specific instructions for your phone, you can try selecting a network at step one and browsing through the handsets, but the USA seems to be a little bit behind us at the moment, and the handsets listed are a little old now.
Plantronics Headset:
You’ll now be presented with a list of all the Plantronics headsets. Select your headset from the list and you’ll then be shown and talked through the steps needed to pair the headset to your phone. If you want to start again at any point, just hit start over at the top of the screen.
