Blue Light Indicator Does Not Come On

• Unplug the cable from the car and plug it back in firmly.
• If the unit still does not power on, your cable may not be functioning correctly.
• For older car models that do not provide sufficient power, an additional 30-pin to 30-pin adapter may be required to inject power. Accessories like those sold by ViseeOUSA or Cable Jive DockStubz+ can be used.

Car Recognizes Phone, But No Music Plays

1. Ensure your car's stereo is switched to AUX or iPod mode, depending on your car and model. Consult your car's manual, as some systems may require specific button combinations (e.g., CDC in some Mercedes models).
2. Verify that you have at least one song downloaded and saved to your phone's native music library. This is crucial for the system to initialize communication with your vehicle's iPod integration system, even if you primarily stream music.
3. Update your phone to the latest operating system (OS) version. After the update, delete and unpair the Bovee device from your phone's Bluetooth settings, restart your phone, and then reconnect.

Cannot Pair with Phone

• Unplug the Bovee adaptor from the car and restart your phone.
• Turn off any other Bluetooth devices that might interfere.
• Plug the adaptor back into the car. When the blue light power and pairing indicator turns on, tap to pair on your phone (Pairing Code: 0000).
• In some vehicles, if the unit loses power due to insufficient connection, you may need to unplug and re-plug the device until a successful connection is established. This should not be necessary after a correct initial setup.

Music Quality is Poor or Music is Skipping

• Unplug the adaptor from the car.
• Delete and unpair the device from your phone's Bluetooth settings.
• Update your phone to the latest operating system (OS) version.
• Restart your phone after the update, then reconnect and pair the device again.

1. Disconnect the adaptor from the car.
2. On your phone, unpair or "forget" the Bovee device from your Bluetooth devices list.
3. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and restart the phone.
4. Go to Bluetooth settings and ensure Bluetooth is off.
5. Plug the adaptor back into the car.
6. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone.
