[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1916022, member: 305741"] As I wrote in my previous post I have 3 of these bluetooth devices. One is a Tx/Rx device, and that is what was in the first photo I posted. One is a Tx only device, and that is what was in the second photo I posted. The Tx/Rx device is from TaoTronics and the Tx only is from Homespot, both purchased from Amazon. The TaoTronics Tx/Rx device will pair when set to Rx but will not pair when set to Tx, and the Homespot Tx only device will not pair at all. I have tri ed with my iPhone, an old Android phone and my MacBook Pro, and all act the same way. I have assumed that the devices will not pair in Tx mode because of some limitation in the design of the MBP and the iPhone, but I don't know what that might be. Perhaps they are designed to only pair with Tx devices? I just don't know, and that is what I was asking. That is, has anyone successfully paired a BT Tx device with an iPhone or a MBP? I do have a manual for the Homespot and have followed the directions, but it just does not show up on either my iPhone or MBP when trying to pair, and the TaoTronics also does not show up on those devices when it is set to Tx and trying to pair.
