XPR7550 Blutooth Connection Problem

[caterpillar16]

For the last several months, I have successfully used a set of BlueBud earbuds with my radio. Unfortunately, I lost them. I replaced them with a set of Beats Wireless earbuds. I cannot get my radio to connect with these earbuds. They show up on my radio display, but when I click on it to connect, after a few seconds I get an error message on my radio saying "Connection Failed." I never had any problems connecting to the BlueBuds. Any ideas?? Thanks.

In my experience with the XPR and APX's, it's a trial and error thing using COTS (consumer off the shelf) Bluetooth devices. Do the Beats support handsfree profile? IIRC this is necessary for the BT in the radio to be able to pair with the accessory.

Also, try removing any devices from the BT stack on the 7550. Turn off the BT function, power off the radio, then try to re-pair.

As far as I know, the Beats Wireless should support hands free operation.

I removed the old device from my Bluetooth list, turned off Bluetooth and then tried to pair with the Beats. Still no luck [emoji17]

With a stroke of good luck, I found my BlueBuds that I had lost. They connect easily with my XPR7500. I just don't like the way they fit in my ear. I still can't get the Beats to work. I guess they just aren't compatible.
