Deleting a paired phone?

[TylerDurdin]

Has anyone successfully deleted a paired phone on a 2012 R spec (or similar).

Thank you.

My HTC one M8 will "jam" the bluetooth system in my 2012 (and my old 2009 tech) by simply being powered on with the BT radio turned on in the phone. It doesn't have to be paired to the car, just on and within about 30 feet or so.

When Jammed, the car head unit BT system cannot connect a phone, pair a phone, or delete a pairing. The BT stack in the car remains "jammed" until I turn off the car and restart. Then as long as the M8 BT radio is off, I can pair/connect/delete/etc.

Try turning off all bluetooth radios near the car (earpieces, phones, portable speakers, stereo equipment, PC keyboards, etc.). Or if you live in a "modern" house with teenagers+ and have no idea how many BT devices may be present... drive somewhere far away from everything electronic and attempt the delete.
