Bluetooth not working with my car after 2.02 upgrade

3G iPhone was working well with the bluetooth in my car (and my wife's car) for past month but I recently returned the phone for a replacement which I upgraded to 2.02 and now it won't work without a manual set-up each time. Called Apple and they said it's a known problem but didn't know of a workaround. Thought others might like to know this before spending the hour I did today trying to fix.

There are a couple of workarounds out there you could give a try. For some phones / users it seems to work, for others like me none solved the problem.
1. Do a backup
2. unpair all your BT connections from the phone and in the car. (You've done that already, right?)
3. Reset your network settings (you'll loose your saved wifi networks and the keys and have to connect them from scratch afterwards) (Test it again, if not ...)
4. Disconnect from iCloud and delete data from iPhone (test if it works now, you can connect to iCloud afterwards again and sync your data and settings)(don't know if you possibly loose data, cause i don't store important stuff on iCloud)
These are just a couple of workarounds that are suggested in various forums / newspapers. But none of them helped me to solve the problem permanently.

  • Mouse not working with Boot Camp after 10.5.7 update

    I upgraded to 10.5.7 recently, and now my mouse doesn't work on Boot Camp. It doesn't seem to register, and I can't move the pointer. I tried this with two mice that worked just fine on the Mac OSX side. Any ideas? Has anybody else noticed this?

    I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

  • In ios7 Bluetooth not working with my ipod touch 5G

    In ios 7 upgrade bluetooth not working properly... It's always searching ... not detecting even ipad with ios7 (bluetooth on).
    I was expected 7.0.3. but no use...

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset the BT device
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS3581 Won't work with my car after iOS7 update, at least one other friend is having the same issue today.

    I updated my iphone 5 to iOS7 and it no longer  works with my car's stereo.  My boss is having the same issue.  Anyone else?  Ideas on how to resolve this?

    More details would ne nice such as what make of car?
    When I upgraded to my iPhone 5, a friend was complaining that his iPhone 5 did work in his car. I took the Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter out of my car and replaced his third party one and it started working.

  • Why is my ipod in not working with my car stereo?

    i have the stereo hooked up and everything but my ipod doesnt work with the stereo, but my ipod nano works fine with it. i dont understand what its wrong.

    Like I said, the Classic doesn't seem to work with many car head units and other 3rd party accessories (something to do with the way Apple have changed the way an iPod recognizes and interacts with these accessories).
    Have a look at some of the other threads here that also discuss this.
    You would be better off contacting the maker of the car stereos.

  • Import via Drag & Drop not working with LR CC (after Update from 5.7)

    I always imported my pictures by just dragging them in the Windows Explorer and dropping them to the Lightroom Gallery tab.
    This does not work with LR CC anymore.
    The longer way via "Import" works fine.
    Any suggestions?

    With Gallery i meant Library, my mistake (wrong translation, i am using the german version).
    What works with your setup doesn't work with mine.
    I attached a screenshot:
    As you can see (cursor) i can't import the file from the file explorer on the right.
    (The file is not already in the catalogue and i am in the library tab grid view mode).

  • Bluetooth not working with my Sony car stereo

    Now that I have upgraded from my Iphone 4 to the Iphone 5.  My Sony DX300BTX Bluetooth car stereo will not connect.  I had a oppiontment this last Friday with the apple store.  They were able to connect with there Blue tooth keyboard.  The tech said he could not find any problems with the phone hardware and would not replace it.  The tech sudjusted that I restore the phone as a new phone.  I did this.  Then attempted to connect with my car stereo.  The car stereo connected to the Iphone 5 but the Iphone 5 would not connect to the car stereo.  Btw the Iphone 5 has the latest 6.01 o.s  And so dose my Iphone 4.  Today I took it out to my car to see if it would still connect with the car stereo now that it has the latast 6.01 o.s.   Connected and played Itunes and Pandora perfectly.
    So it appears that the Iphone 5 bluetooth chip is the problem.  It's not a software issue and it's not a issue with my sony stereo because the car stereo connected.  But the Iphone 5 would not.  My question is how do I get Apple to fix there faulty bluetooth chip.  I just bought this car stereo last year.  It was suppose to have the best bluetooth connectivity.  And it did with my Iphone 4.  I know if Steve Jobs was still with us this Iphone 5 would have not been released until these kind of bugs were fixed.  And just for the record my sony laptop can see the Iphone 5 to but the Iphone 5 can not see the sony.  Dose Apple make a car stereo that connect to there Iphone 5

  • Bluetooth not working with visual voicemail in 2.0

    I have a bluetooth car speaker linked to my Iphone 2G. Ever since I switched to 2.0 visual voicemail only gives me the options of internal and external speaker with the "speaker" bubble in the upper right corner. When I had old software installed the "speaker" button would display "audio" giving me the option of the motorola 505 or any headset when it was synced. I can still receive and make calls using the bluetooth, but when I go to listen to voice mail it comes out of the internal speaker (or external). What happened?? How to I get my motorola speaker back, as mentioned it still works with the other phone functions, just not voicemail. Thanks
    BTW, why doesn't it have stereo bluetooth, after all it is an IPOD!!

    Hello everyone, I'm really ****** ... just bought iPhone4 OS
    4.1.
    Before I had 2G, and 3G, then 3G. I state that is not my
    particular interest to share files via bluetooth or another, but the only
    essential thing that made the previous iPhone was connected
    perfectly to any accessory. NOW NO MORE '!
    I installed a car kit Parrot CK3100. He always
    worked perfectly before, even with the latest update
    of 3GS os 4,0,1, was even ringing the alarm set
    iPhone, you can always read the phonebook, call list etc..
    Now, I try to connect the iPhone to the device 4, but sees no
    can in no way to connect, returning the message
    "Match failed." I tried in every way, even trying
    from the unit but nothing to match it.
    Can anyone tell me why these things happen and if there is a way to
    solve? Thanks.

  • Bluetooth not working with IOS 7 and apple tv Ver3

    I have a ver 3 Apple TV MD199X/A and an Iphone running IOS7. I saw recently that there is an option with IOS 7 to bluetooth sync with Apple TV. Neither my Iphone 4S or Apple TV is recognisiing each other in bluetooth mode. My iphone bluetooth is working fine with my car and is always on.
    What is the Problem?

    This fits with the observable results, however it does seem a little odd. The apple engineers coud have at least written the software to say something like, " I see an Iphone, but I can't do anything with it." Currently, it seem to behave like there is a problem with bluetooth connectivity. Not that the bluetooth is working fine, it just has nothing it can do with the two devices.
    What you are trying to say has no sens. Check Apple TV manual and informations what bluetooth on this device is for and what options is giving to you before blaiming engineers for not making something straight.
    Apple Tv 3rd (and 2nd) generation doesn't have a built-in storage and is more as a streaming device not syncing device. I suggest you read about Apple TV 3rd gen features and functionalyty and also about home sharing, airplay and airplay mirroring, apple remote app.

  • IPod Mini not working with new car stereo

    I just got a 2007 Sienna in which the audio system includes an AUX port for connecting to my iPod. However, when I connect the two (using a RadioShack Gold Series audio dubbing cable recommended by RadioShack), nothing happens. My iPod is not locked, and it works with headphones and also through the FM transmitter (although the latter not very well at all).
    Is there an iPod setting that I am missing? Do I have the wrong cable? Is there a problem with my car's audio system?
    Any advice/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Doh. Never mind. I just figured out it was a volume problem.

  • Airprint not working with HP printer after updating to IOS5

    Hi,
    I have an HP airprint printer (photosmart B210) that worked fine with my ipad2 and iphone 4 all running ios 4.
    Now I have a iphone 4s as well as the iphone 4 and ipad. After upgrading to ios 5, I can no longer airprint from any of my ios devices.
    I have tried turing everything off anf back on (including time capsule router, printer, ios devices).
    I can see the printer from ios but the job just sits waiting to print. I have managed to print one document after trying multiple times.
    Anyone having this issue?
    Thanks

    BattleAngelita,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    The fact that the SimplePass program is asking your for your Master Windows Password means the program survived the upgrade process to Windows 8.1 -- sort of.
    You may want to start with the following:
    Create a Restore Point >>  Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook
    Boot the computer and log in
    Check to see is SimplePass has sorted itself.
    ==================================================​========================
    You may want to try to Update your SimplePass program to the latest version in the version 6.x series.
    Before you do that, read and follow the instructions to Export your Webcards to your .tsd file.  Regardless of whether the website logins are working right now; you do need this backup in case you lose your HP SimplePass program (through complete removal / reinstallation or though corruption).
    Next, consider updating the HP SimplePass program to the latest of the version 6 series.  If you are already running the latest version, consider the other options in the guide, including the "Repair SimplePass" procedure.

  • Imac bluetooth not working with apple keyboard or magic mouse

    Brand new imac won't connect to the bluetooth apple keyboard or magic mouse. I bought a usb keyboard and mouse to finish setup, but still cannot get them to connect. I tried going to system preferences, bluetooth, and trying to connect that way. I got halfway through the bluetooth keyboard setup until the connection failed. In the bluetooth setup assistant it cannot find any devices, despite them being in "discovery mode."
    I tried connecting the mouse to my macbook pro and it worked fine, so I feel it is something wrong the the Imac's bluetooth.
    Any guesses what might be going wrong here?
