Trouble Pairing Devices to my G4

[paramedic228]

I have a G4 pager and the current firmware version is v1.2 I have been unable to pair either of my Bose devices, the Quiet Comfort 45 headphones, or the SoundSport Free wireless headphones. I was thinking that maybe if I updated the firmware, that might help with the Bluetooth issues. However, I cannot seem to get any help or find the updated firmware files that I need, along with the instructions to update. Trying to contact the manufacturer ends up referring me to my dealer. But, he referred me here.

That is why I thought that maybe a firmware update might be the answer.

It is a hardware issue, not firmware

Search this forum for the term Bluetooth and you will quickly realize that Unication doesn't have a clue as to how to successfully implement this technology. But gee, they've only had 25 years to figure it out! Maybe they only need another quarter-century to nail it.

No problem with my $30 ear buds but a later model Kenwood AVX series car stereo shows the G4 as "admin". It displays on the G4 during pairing as the car radio model and the audio is then muted on the pager like it has paired but still no audio.
