    I recently got a new Iphone 4. My 3GS was paired with my 2010 Prius just fine - calls + audio via Bluetooth worked perfectly.

    However, when I got my new IPhone 4, I paired it with Bluetooth and now I can't play audio through it. I can make and receive phone calls just fine - but when I go to my audio screen and click on BT to use Bluetooth audio, it says it isn't connect. When I hit connect, it says" bluetooth connection failed please verify the portable player settings "

    Any ideas? Thanks,

    Nick

    There are two "pairings": One for telephone, another one for Audio. If you pair only for the calls then the Audio will not automatically know about your iPhone. You'll need to go through both pairing procedures.

    Try this: delete all phone & audio player profiles from the car, turn off the car & phone for a minute or 2, then turn both on, pair the phone first, then pair the audio player.

    In my experience, pairing as an audio device first, which identifies as "car multimedia", worked better. Pairing the phone after that didn't even require a password, since I had set the bluetooth passwords (in the car setup screens) for phone and audio to be the same. For some reason, I've had problems in the past pairing the phone first.

    I have the same results as ggood - connect the audio first.
