Alpine W505 Does Not Sync With My BlackBerry

The Alpine W505 lets you play your favorite songs through your car stereo.

The Alpine W505 is an electronic media player for your vehicle that you can use to play your favorite music. You can play music from a CD, MP3 player or a mobile phone. If you prefer, you may play songs from your BlackBerry phone. If you cannot synchronize your BlackBerry phone with your Alpine player, it is because you may not have Bluetooth enabled. The two devices can be synchronized to work together.

Instructions

1. Insert the key in the ignition to turn on your car. This will also turn on your Alpine media player. Press the "Menu" button on your BlackBerry phone. Navigate down to "Settings."

2. Press the down button and click "Bluetooth Connections." Scroll to switch the setting to "Enable."

3. Press the power button on your Alpine media player. Press the "Play" button. It will recognize your BlackBerry phone.

4. Enter the Bluetooth passcode on your BlackBerry and Alpine player. The default code for most Bluetooth devices is "0000."

5. Choose a song that you want to play from your BlackBerry. Press the "Play" button again.

Tips & Warnings

• Synchronize your BlackBerry with your Alpine using your phone's USB cable. Connect one end of the cable to your phone and the other end to your player's USB port.
