Bluetooth problem - Genio Slide

I got a samsung Genio Slide gt-b5310 from Xmas. It works fine except for one MAJOR problem. I cannot get it to pair with any in-car hands free kit.
To pair should be easy.
1. Let the phone find the device. (not a problem)
2. Select the device (not a problem)
3. Enter the device's code (PROBLEM)

Instead of asking me for a code after step 2 the phone immediately starts trying to pair with the hands free kit then says "unable to pair" and offers to "try again" In short. Step 3 never happens.

I will be so very grateful if someone can solve this for me.

SOLVED !



Problem: Phone will not pair with device. Possibly not asking for a Pin Code.

Answer: Check device has not previously been paired with similar Phone. If so wipe the device's memory of earlier phone. Better yet, remove all previous pairings.

Problem: After Pairing the phone 'bricks' and a page of technical data appears on the screen.

Answer: do a factory reset. Please note that if your phone is an unlocked one this WILL NOT re-lock it. It remains unlocked.

NOT SOLVED - The fault redevelops and once again freezes if you pair it with the hands free kit. This is definitely a middle-ware/software fault on the phone. Anyone got an answer? Pretty Please

Final Answer.
