Bluetooth connection between car & iphone stopped; won't reconnect

The bluetooth connection between my car (BMW) and my iphone just stopped one day. Had it back to the dealer to reset connections, and it wouldn't reconnect - altho' the service guy's iphone connected just fine. Any idea how to rectify this? service guy said the problem is with the phone software, not the car's.

One possible solution is that you have multiple devices connecting at the same time.
I have both my Blackberry phone and my iPad paired. If my phone connection is active, I can't pair my iPad.
This isn't usually an issue for me because I usually only listen to my iPad on my way to work when my phone isn't liable to ring anyway.

  • Is anyone having problems with the Bluetooth connection between the iPhone 5s and Renault Media Nav is so is there a solution.

    IiPhone 5s Bluetooth problem with Renault media Nav very poor connection, both phone and media Nav are up to date software is there a solution

    Here we use MediaNav with iPhone4s, 5, and 5s. I use spotify to stream music, it works great. But each approx. 15s the signal drops for a moment.
    I believe there is nothing wrong with the bluetooth connection of the iPhones, as I use them with other audio systems.
    The link belows shows the following stated:
    "There is a fault with the MediaNav Bluetooth connection when streaming music."
    "Renault are aware of the fault and will not be telling any new customers"
    "It is not a priority"
    "There is no timescale for a fix"

  • I just switched from iphone 4s to LG G3. I'm having issues with bluetooth in my car, iphone would sync automatically but with G3 I have to manually connect to my car's bluetooth every time I turn it on - it won't sync automatically. Any fixes?

    You can turn on BT tethering but it disables Wifi so if I have to do that step every time I get in my car, I just as well manually connect on BT every time.

  • I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

  • Bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air

    How to enable bluetooth connection between iPhone 4 and MacBook Air?

    I used to be able to connect my iPhone 4 with my 3 yr old MacBook Pro using Bluetooth. I used my iPhone's personal hotspot more then once to access the Internet on my laptop when there was no wireless. I don't get why it wouldn't work with my new MacBook Air. That just seems silly. My laptop found my iPhone and was able to add the device, but then my iPhone wouldn't connect. Is there really no way around this??

  • 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.

  • How can I rename a bluetooth connection on my iPhone?

    How can I rename the bluetooth connections on my iPhone? I have 2 cars with the same handsfree bluetooth systems and they show up with the same name under my iPhone's bluetooth connections. I'd like to rename them so I can identify which car belongs to which connection.

    I was afraid you were going to say that was the case. I couldn't find any way to do it. It's amazing that something so simple, and something that's been available on every phone I've owned for the last 15+ years, isn't available on an iPhone.

  • How can I set up Wi-Fi connection between my iPhone 4 & my wireless Linksys WRT54G router?

    How can I set up Wi-Fi connection between this iPhone I bought and my wireless Linksys router (WRT54G) that I'm using for home netwrking for my PCs?
    Tried settings on iPhone, selceted Wi-Fi connection, then pressed my network name shown on this iPhone, but nothing happens after that.

    Do you not get the icon on the top bar of the iPhone?
    Once you press on the network, the iPhone should connect to it. If the Network has a wep or WPA key it should be requested at that time.
    Once the above has been completed, then the iPhone is connected. And you can use the wifi conneftion to browse the internet. It should also show a checkmark next to the network signifying it connected.
    If its having trouble connecting or taking some time you should see the   next to the network spinning around.

  • Bluetooth connection between Mac book pro and IPad

    Hello,
    i am having trouble creating a Bluetooth connection between a Mac book pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and a IPad air 2 iOS 8.1.2.
    I have managed to pair the devices but when I try to create a connection to transfer data an error message on the Mac comes up saying "Bluetooth network unavailable, make sure device is on, in range and set up properly", similarly if a connection is tried from the iPad an error message comes up saying "make sure the device is on".
    Both devices Bluetooth is on and discoverable and i have managed to pair them but can't create a actual connection!
    Any help / ideas appreciated?
    Best regards

    Bluetooth paring for file transfer is not supported on iPads.
    You can use Airdrop if both devices support it, or a 3rd party App, but you cannot directly pair an iPad to a Macbook and transfer a file over the bluetooth connection.

  • Bluetooth connectivity degrading with iPhone 4

    The bluetooth connection to my iPhone 4 has become weak and unreliable over the past week. I use a Sony DR-BT 160AS stereo headset that has been very reliable up until recently. I am having the same intermittent connectivity issue with my Plantronics Voyager PRO, so it seems to indicate the problem is with the iPhone. The connection is good if I have the phone in my hand, but as soon as I try to snap it into my Otter Box belt clip, the sound breaks up, cuts out, and eventually disconnects. I tested this by cupping my hand over the phone and the same problem occurs, indicating a signal send/receive weakness. Any ideas why this would have changed? I have been able to listen to music with the phone on the belt clip since I bought this phone a year ago.

    I don't know why this is happening, but I may have found the solution. I leave my iPhone powered on almost constantly. I powered of and back on again and the bluetooth connectivity has been restored to its former strength.

  • How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    The Mac and iPhone sync with iTunes though the charge cable that is included with the iPhone. Through this, you can sync your calendars and contacts.
    Bluetooth is an impractical sync scheme as the time it would take to say transfer your song catalog could be longer than your phone contract. I suppose it is entirely possible to implement with hacks and jailbreaking, but I am fairly sure it is beyond the rules here to discuss such activities.
    You may wan tto ask this same question in the iPhone section of the comminitie here. There may be some workarounds for just contacts.
