XPR7550 Bluetooth pairing to audio device "Purchase Required"

[natem1414]

I can't seem to add an audio bluetooth device to my XPR 7550

when i goto Bluetooth->Devices->Find Devices i see my speaker/mic (a JBL Flip), however when i hit "OK" on the radio it says "Purchase Required." i dont currently have any other bluetooth devices to try, but will soon.

looking in CPS under device information, the only bluetooth items that say "available for purchase" are "data services via bluetooth", "bluetooth Permanent discoverable" all other bluetooth items say "Free", including "Bluetooth Audio and radio programming"

CPS 16
firmware version: R02.08.05.0004
codeplug 13.0.0.08

thanks for your help

That happened to me with my 7550, and I resolved it by cloning another 7550 to it. Odd, but it worked.

thanks, i tried downloading and then uploading a codeplug file i got from minnesotadmr.com and it didn't help, any other thoughts? could you possibly send me a basically blank codeplug file from your radio and well see if that fixes the issue with bluetooth?

I tried uploading a codeplug file i got from https://minnesotadmr.com/ to try it out. the bluetooth also did not work with that codeplug, however it looks like an older version as it doesn't have as many features listed (including bluetooth). would it be possible for you to send me an basic codeplug file you are using successfully?

Yeah, not a problem. Will pull a code plug when I get home. Do you have the latest FW on the radio? That can effect it too. Are you using it on a Connect Plus system or directly? If Connect Plus, you'll want to download the CP OB CPS from MOL and make sure you've got your options on the Option Board matching the ones in the CPS.

Could be because your bluetooth device is trying to pair using one of those protocols that Ma M wants to sell you an entitlement for.

This is correct. You will need an EID from M to connect a JBL Flip. I think it's around $50.
