Anyone else lose bluetooth connection with car radio since updating to IOS 6?

I've lost consistent connection between my iPhone 4S and car radio (Kenwood) ever since I upgraded to IOS 6. This is apparantly happening to lots of people. I use this bluetooth for hands-free calling on my phone so I'm hoping Apple will come out with IOS 6.1 soon to address this software patch. Others experiencing this with their phones and car stereo systems?

I'm having probems as well. I can make calls and play music but I can only change songs on my iPhone 4S but not with the controls on the car. I was able to do this before the upgrade.

E51 Drops Bluetooth connection with Car Radio afte...

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anybody has seen this before. It seems like a few people are seeing this but I have yet to find a solution. My phone pairs perfectly and works as it should for about the first 30 mins, then for no reason, it drops the bluetooth connection and I either have to power my phone or radio on/off. This is very annoying as it has now dropped the call too and I am force to redial.
Sometimes it does not even last 30 mins, and might happen after only 10 mins or so.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

Yes, I have a similar problem which is a real pain if the call is dropped mid-conversation. Have you installed the MS Exchange email client from Nokia because that may cause a disconnect during a poll update.
Other than that I can't suggest anything, except it would be good to get a solution to the problem!

Z30 Bluetooth issue with car handsfree since update to 10.3.1.1784

Hi,
I am having a lot of problems getting my Z30 to work properly with my car's bluetooth system (BMW E46 - built 03/2004) since upgrading to this OS version. The Bluetooth system is factory installed (not 3rd party). I had a read through these forums and found some people who also had B/T issues in their vehicles, but I couldn't see what the fixes were (if one exists, feel free to point me in the right direction or send me the URL). The interesting thing is that my phone WAS working just fine until I updated to this OS version - now I cannot see my phone's Address Book on the in-car screen anymore (when I select "DIRECTORY" or "SPEED DIAL", it just displays a message "PLEASE WAIT" and does nothing).I also have issues making calls (the car isn't able to make the phone dial out). It gives the indication that it is, but when I look at the phone itself, the screen shows no activity. I have tried to Unpair and re-Pair, but no difference in behaviour.The pairing process itself works fine, and the phone asks me whether to share my contacts, etc with the in-car Bluetooth system - but even if I select "YES", it doesn't make a difference. Anyone know a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just wondering if anyone from Blackberry is monitoring these forums, as my problem still hasn't been resolved. I recently checked for a software update (hoping there would be one available), but my device tells me that I have the latest software.

Has anyone else had a problem with data? after updating my phone to the new update, i have all this data, and keep getting notifications that my data is getting high. i never had this problem before.

fair enough. No need for any unnecessary posts either. You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

I lose bluetooth connectivity with lion on iMac 21.5. Have to reboot to get it to work again.

Since upgrading to Lion on my iMac 21.5", once a week I lose bluetooth connectivity and have to reboot to get my keyboard and mouse to work.

Backup up your data from both, and as long as you used Bootcamp to install the Windows partition you should be fine.
If you used another method, or have more partitons on the drive than Bootcamp, DON'T upgrade to Lion, unless your prepared to rebuild the entire drive, install Lion from boot DVD's you make from the installer and so forth.
Google "Egg Freckles Lion boot DVD" for details also Google for "Make copies of Snow Leopard install disks"
Snow Leopard is stable, Lion has issues with older Mac hardware ranging from video to wifi to slow downs to radical UI changes.
With all the effort placed in setting up Windows and OS X, to do that all over again to take a chance that Lion won't work on your machine is a a lot of risk for little in return.
When Lion is stable then consider it, but right now it's not.

Iphone 4 bluetooth connection with car

My iphone4 (iOS 4.2.8) pairs with my 2008 toyota Sienna bluetooth; however, it continues to fail and drops connection after a day. It shows it is paired, but I have to continue to re-pair it to actually get it to work. My ev3 LG phone worked great, so it's not an issue with my car. Any fixes? Is this an iOS problem. I've hear that from the Toyota dealer. They seem hear the issue frequently with iphone users.

It's not just the bluetooth car radio. Lots of problems with bluetooth stereo overall.. My s305 motorola headphones worked fine until I upgraded recently to 4.3.1 now and it's pretty much unuseable. Practically impossible to get to connect, pair, unpair, reset etc.. Sometimes it will connect but then it pretty much disconnects again after a minute or so. Used to work for me most of the time but it's never been great; now it's abismal.
Check this thread out for lots of others with the same problem...

Still prolem with bluetooth Connecting to car after IOS6 update!!!!

I have a Kia Sorento w/Nav system that STILL WILL NOT connect with my iPhone 4s. It's sporadic as to when it will connect. Yes I have turned off Siri, shut off my wiFi on the phone, did a restore factory settings on the car, restored my iPhone, turned off everything on the phone but cellular data, etc (I have tried EVERYTHING) and still it's hit and miss. I have taken the car to Kia which tells me it's an iPhone 4s and above problem and there are no firmware updates for my car system. They tell me Apple needs to put out an update to make it compatible with the 4S and above. This is SO frustrating!! I have a $40,000 car that won't work with a $200 phone!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Apple, help the many users I have found on this forum to connect our iPhones to our cars!!!
Has anyone else found a work around thus far????

Sorry to hear that you're unable to connect your phone with your car.
What you can try and see if it helps is to do a master reset of the unit in your car and, if possible, try to initiate the pairing from the car unit instead.
But i'm afraid i have seen several reports of compatibility issues with Opel and later products and they also doesn't list our new products as compatible: https://www.vauxhall.co.uk/content/dam/Vauxhall/Europe/united_kingdom/nscwebsite/uk/Home/pdf/mobile_...

Bluetooth connectivity with car

I have recently changed to a Nokia 7230 and when I connect via Bluetooth to my car (Grand Cherokee) with a MyGig system some numbers do not sync across to the telephone address book in the car. I have a 2nd 7230 and the same applies, I have tried a different car at the dealers same problem, so it appears to be a phone compatibility issue. Reverting to my old phone works ok. Any suggestions or ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks

MacbookPro loses bluetooth connection with Logitech V270 periodically

My MacbookPro loses connection with Logitech V270 periodically during use. This happens about every 5 to 10 minutes. I get the pic on the screen showing that the computer has lost the connection with the mouse and then after a few seconds it reconnects and works again. I've tested it out with my Powerbook and it works fine so I think it must be related to the MacbookPro. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I have use the same mouse and I have never had a dropped connection. Have you tried replacing the batteries in the V270 to see if that might avoid the drop out?

IOS6 bluetooth connection with car stereo

With my iPhone 4S running iOS5, my after-market car stereo bluetooth was able to read my song name, artist name, ect. Now that I upgraded to iOS6 my Kenwood receiver cannot read this data while connected via bluetooth. Since the data can't be read, the steering wheel control to search/skip a song forward or back also no longer works. I tested the car stereo last night with an iOS5 phone and it worked correctly, so I know the problem is related to the bluetooth iOS6.

N95 Bluetooth connection with car

I drive an AUDI A6. Before I got my N95 I had a Sony/Ericsson i800. When I connected this phone with my car (Bluetooth), everything can be done from the car environment such as lookin for phonebook entries, selection of entries, dialing etc.
With my N95 I can connect with my car and I can use the hands-free speeking system ... but only this! I can't read any phonebook entry, calling list etc.
Is there any trick to open the phone directory for use in bluetooth mode?
Best regards and thanks in advance.
Sunni

Having just bought a new Audi A6 Le mans 3.0tdi quattro Avant - I was keen to find a solution to this bluetoth/phonebook problem. I too have the Nokia N95 and can confirm that the above link works 100%. Firstly you need to have Nokia PC Suite installed on you PC & phone .. then download the application and save to your pc. With your phone now connected to your pc.. download the saved application to the phone... [ make sure bluetooth is off and not paired to your car ]
Once installed on your phone - go to your car & connect/pair via bluetooth.... go to applications and run the application. It took a couple of minutes "processing " .... then switches to " transferring " ... again a minute or so.... Job Done.. My phone book is now integrated with the car and the MMI.
Thanks for the above link. http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881

Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..
