It claims that a message is supposed to come up on the radio when you hit the "phone" menu: "Please Pair your Phone." Mine only says "Searching for paired devices" and I can't seem to get any other options. I turn my phone on to search mode anyway, but it can't find the car. Why is this so difficult? Since I bought the car used, does that mean I have to figure out a way to delete the previous owner's phone? How can I do that?

Thanks for your help.
Does your car have bluetooth? Check the trunk and look for the TCU under the trunk fabric thingy or look for the assist button on your overhead console. I recently did a retrofit...Pairing your phone is very simple...just make sure your phone is set to search for new device and I think I held down the phone button on the radio and a message popped up and you just follow the instructions on the radio screen.
