I just purchased a new car that has bluetooth and a handsfree capability. It is compatible with iPhone. If I am interpreting the iPhone user manual correctly, must I disconnect the bluetooth headset in order to connect to the car? This seems a bit vague in the manual and I was not able to get the car to recognize the phone on my initial attempt yesterday.

Is your iPhone paired and connected with a Bluetooth headset when you try to connect it to your in-car Bluetooth?

Yes, on my initial attempts, it was still paired to the BT headset. I then read the manual and it looked like you cannot do both.

Yeah, I'm not sure if you can have more than one device paired at the same time. Maybe try deleting that headset from your list and try the car again?
