^that makes sense. I went to best buy today and picked up another bluetooth adapter, and this one doesn't work on the head unit either
Thanks for the responses, I'll keep researching and hopefully I'll figure it out
Another thing to note that I forgot to put in my original post, about a month and half ago I had the same issue where my head unit would read "No bt dongle" but after messing around with it for a minute and restarting the HU the problem was resolved, until now
