Did you pair using the bluetooth item under the connectivity menu? If so, this is *not* the way to do it. I would try the Humanware article again, after telling the iPod to "forget" the apex. Also, note that the apex's name, which can be set in connectivity > setup options, must not be changed from the factory default. If your apex is not called something like "APEX-000123" (where the six digits are the last six digits of your serial number) then this process will not work. For entering the pairing code, I would rotor to typing mode, then swipe down to touch typing. This lets you lift your finger to enter the character announced, instead of having to tap on the screen to enter the character. It is somewhat faster to use, so entering the four zeros will not be as slow. Also, the "pair" button is in the top right of the screen, maybe an inch or two down from the top right corner and a bit in, if that makes any sense. I would find this button the first time you try to pair, so that the next time you can type the zeros and then know where to find the button. Please let me know if you have any trouble with this. It is a very, very powerful feature once you get it working; as I have said in past messages on this topic, it is almost like having two computers in one, and you can switch between the two all on the apex.
