I have the Bluephone for iPod system. It is not bad but there is a serious software issue. If you make any key presses, or the phone goes into any particular mode, it stops the playback and you have to take out the iPod to get things moving again.
They need to fix the software. Oh, their customer support is not the best either.

I have a gear 4 house part, but when I want to connect it by bluetooth, it ask me to enter the pass code, but I don’t know the pass code, I enter “0000” or “1234” but failed.
please tell me the pass code asap.
