My samsung galaxy note 3 from sprint will not communicate with my stereo for some reason to pair it's a brand new stereo and it works good with one in my pickup but not with the pioneer the codes match and stereo says error and phone says unable to communicate

With my Kenwood, I had to reference the manual. It wasn't as straight forward as it might seem. Try reboot the phone. Get into the setting for pairing a phone with the stereo. There might be different Bluetooth profiles in the stereo. Once you have the stereo in pairing mode, turn on BT on the phone and make it discoverable to other devices. It might take a few tries with the stereo. Mine was stubborn at first and wasn't as obvious as I would have thought.
