Bluetooth music from phone and iPod nano Gen 5

[Soquete]

Hi, I am super confused here. 

Yesterday I set up my ionic. Everything went well until I went to pair with my iPod nano Gen 5. I teach a lot of Martial art and fitness classes using to iPod via aux cord to a stereo. The ionic can find the iPod but I continually get the connection failed notification. I checked forums and it says that it won't connect with iPod Gen 5. 

So first question is will this coding issue get remedied? 

Then I gave up and tried to connect to play music from my Samsung s7. (the device I have paired for the mobile app) still in the Bluetooth setting I try to find my phone. But Nothing comes up. I checked forums again only to see a number of other people with the similar issue. I have checked and rechecked the setting in my phones Bluetooth, started, stopped, restarted, forced stopped the app. Deleted all the other Bluetooth in the phone, re started, re paired the ionic and synced with the fitbit app., but it still can't find the phone in the ionic bloototh search. Please help. This is quite frustrating.

The Ionic will only play music from devices meant to be a speaker or very limited smart earbud only. It will not play music from a smartphone or smart speaker. It's just like an iPhone won't be able to stream music from the speakers on a Samsung phone.

Hope I cleared all of this up!

So, I called the customer support team by phone. They were amazing, seemed there were a couple of setting in the Bluetooth section on my ionic (was set to off and I had to change it to pair before I saw the "ionic classic" appear in my phone's Bluetooth settings) than I had to make a music control setting from holding the main button on the left of the ionic for a few seconds  to see the "..." on the bottom left. I touched it and was switch control to the phone. Thank you to the customer service person on the phone.

It's sounds as if you where having trouble controlling the music on the android from the ionic

Yes that was the case. I still can't get it to connect with my iPod nano Gen 5. Any help would be appreciated.

The iPod is designed to pair with a speaker. not your tracker. 

Please reread @supersmart01234 post above. What you want can not be done with iPod, you could do it with an iPhone

Hi guys, What's up? I'm just saying this again, the Ionic's onboard storage cannot stream onto another smartphone/iPod. You could control the music playing on the iPod if it's connected to another speaker by installing the Fitbit App or going into the settings app-> Bluetooth Connections-> and toggling Music Controls to "pair" and it will show up on your iPod's Bluetooth menu. Thanks for the guidance @Rich_Laue.
