Car Bluetooth

Okay, I have a car which has blue enabled so I can talk to people through my bluetooth system in my car, it wasn't compatitible with iPhone 4 so I was told by tech support to upgrade my bluetooth in my car but now I have it doesnt let me call back if someone leaves a voicemail. If someone has had similar issues and fixed it, i would be most appreciative.

IPhone 4s No Longer connects to Car Bluetooth after iOS 7.1 Update

My iPhone 4s has been paired to our 2006 Acura TL hands free link (Bluetooth) and working flawlessly for more than a year. After the iOS 7.1 update installed on my iPhone the connection has been lost and the car's Bluetooth does not recognize, and will not pair with my iPhone anymore! I noticed there were two back-to-back updates for iOS7. The first one caused intermittent interruptions and lost connections with the iPhone. The second update completely destroyed the connection between the car bluetooth and the iPhone. Any ideas on how to correct this problem would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello algee1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with pairing your iPhone with your Acura.
In my experience, when updates are released for iOS devices, compatible devices release an update to maintain compatibility. Step 2 from the article below recommends checking with the manufacturer of your car stereo to see if there is a firmware update available for your car stereo:
2. Update software and firmware if necessary
Verify that both your car stereo and your device have the latest software versions. Contact the manufacturer to see if any updates are available. If your device does not have the latest version of the iOS, update to the latest software version.
I recommend reviewing the full article here for additional troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections

I also recommend these steps if the issue persists after following all the steps in the previous article:
Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories
If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.

I recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS and it no longer works with my inbuilt car bluetooth. Is it possible to restore to my previous iOS system?

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS.

Car bluetooth failed after recent OS 6.2 update

My car bluetooth (car is a BMW X5) has suddenly stopped working, immediately after my iPhone 5 updated its OS to 6.1.
It all worked perfectly before the OS upgrade.
Have re-paired it, re-set everything - no good. Any suggestions?
What happens is - the phone pairs with the car stereo, the car stereo answers the phone - but there's no sound. Can't hear anything - on the car stereo, on the phone, nothing.
And before anyone asks - yes, I am using it correctly, and the car is selected in the phone settings and when the call comes through.
I used it successfully for months - until the latest OS upgrade... And then it stops.     6.0 was fine. Why would 6.1 fail?
Why would the 6.1 upgrade cause this to happen?    What have Apple changed in their bluetooth functionality for OS 6.1, that would make something that worked perfectly suddenly stop working after the 6.1 upgrade?? Why make these changes suddenly?
Anyway, am very very annoyed.   I need to answer my phone in the car, for goodness sake! Are you trying to make me get a blackberry or an Android device, Apple?

Thanks for the lack of response, Apple.
I guess maybe it's time to get a Samsung Galaxy?
They at least seem to have some interest in ensuring software upgrades don't cut users off from their existing services.

I can't connect my I-Phone 6 to my car Bluetooth, any fixes yet?

I can't connect my I-Phone 6 to my car Bluetooth, any fixes yet? I just updated with the new update this morning. My I-Phone 5s had no problem connecting to car Bluetooth.

Hi Denisefromjoetowm,
When you attempt to connect your iPhone 6 to your car via Bluetooth, how far does it get?
Glad you updated your iPhone. There are other things to test for, see:

Take care,

IOS 8.1.2 car bluetooth connection

I have lost the Bluetooth connectivity in my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe since I updated my phone to iOS 8.1.2. I have tried to reset car Bluetooth features as well as on my phone. Nothing seems to work. Is anyone else having issues and are there any solutions?

Similar to VroomVroom: I have iphone 5s, was on iOS7, went to iOS 8.1.2, and I didn't notice that I had lost a specific bluetooth connection: Garmin Smartlink - Live Traffic App. The Garmin Smartlink uses bluetooth to connect to the aftermarket Kenwood DNX891HD I have in my car, this comes with a Navigation GPS included. The Garmin Smartlink app (Live Traffic) provides immediate traffic updates if your city is covered, and my city Cincinati OH is covered. This was all working fine before I upgraded the iOS on the iphone 5S. I read another article related to "carkit" connections between iphones and car stereos (for both NAV and also hands-free) - here is the key point and my theory: Only ONE bluetooth connection can be supported at a time. In my case - the hands-free telephone (thru car microphone and car stereo speakers) works fine, and I believe this is also "shared" by Pandora App (from iphone to Kenwood). So, my theory is the iphone will not connect to the Kenwood for the Nav, since it is already connected to the Kenwood for the audio (Pandora and hands-free, I think these two "share" the same bluetooth connection, and I think the Smartlink connection is separate). I messed around this morning in the parking lot at work, and my attempts to "forget" and "pair" the iphone and Kenwood would continously start playing Pandora, but the Smartlink still will not connect (when it dis work, I would see a green circle with two cars on my Nav map screen, indicating the smartlink connection and also status of the traffic). My next test this afternoon will be to delete Pandora app on the phone, try forget / pair again and see if I can get Smartlink to work. If this works, I'll reinstall Pandora App and try to get it back as well. My past 24 hours of skimming articles (don't ya love the internet !) seems to indicate that I am not the only person with bluetooth problems due to the iOS 8.1.2 update....hey Apple...where's 8.1.3 to fix this ?

I just bought a new 2013 Honda civic and my iPhone 4S won't pair with the cars Bluetooth device but it did on other people's iPhones; I have no other Bluetooth devices on my phone. Any suggestions?

I have to ask,
Are you making sure you are in park before attempting the sync? The car won't allow you to do it in motion, whether or not you're the passenger.

Reliable car Bluetooth with FM transmitter ..

Hello,
I am using voice dialing on my Droid X and it works just fine.
I wanted to buy a good car Bluetooth with FM transmitter and found that Satechi car kit is one of the best. Actually it provides decent quality of sound but it has extremely poor voice recognition feature i.e.. very often it fails to recognize commands and etc and I'm going to return it back.
Could someone recommend me one reliable car Bluetooth with FM transmission for my Droid X which has could voice recognition feature?
Thanks.

I do not suggect you use a FM reciever for this because I have noticed to much interferance, If you have a inout jack on your unit (RCA or Headphone) I sugest using a Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Stereo Headset (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12253&accessoryId=46299) because the sound qualith is actually stero not anolag mono signal like the FM transmitter... My device automatically connects when I get in car and the device has a built in mic for hands free use.
But if you perfer a FM Transmitter you can use a Jabra Cruiser In-Car Bluetooth Speakerphone (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=11962&accessoryId=44787) and just allow it to use the speaker on device because sound quality is clearer and lest distortion... It has a FM Transmitter built in but I really was not impressed with Transmitter quailty, I went through every radio channel hoping to get a better outcome but I had no luck and bought the Jabra Clipper Bluetooth Stereo Unit and been happy since.

My car bluetooth disconnects when answering a call.

My car bluetooth disconnects when answering a call?

So does mine - but keeps the call going so then have to risk picking up the phone and putting it on speaker - although friends android phone works perfectly - i'm fed up - i have an iphone 5 and i would expect that with paying 600 for a phone and using it in a 40k car - there shouldn't be an issue, but no - my question is why weren't these things adressed before it was issued? - instead of being told ***** to be you but that's just the way it is. Is apple going to pay my fines $300 each for touching my phone while driving - aus law, and finally when i lose my licence because each fine is 3 points are they going to provide a chauffeur?. Apple need to remember before the iphone they were very small indeed, and only big in the graphic art industry. With Androids getting better and better there's now alternatives and the thing is i quit iphone, i quit the rest of the suite as well - ipads, itunes, apps, as well as mac books, and let's not forget ipods - which means i won't be updating any of those either. I'll rather buy Samsung tablet and an android phone and then i'll buy android apps, and update android. Apple need to remember customers vote with their feet, and IBM nearly went under because of it's own arrogance - could it be apple are going the same way?

HT204368 i connect my iphone into car bluetooth but its answering automaticly after 3rd ring how to make it manually

I connected my Iphone 5 with my car Bluetooth but its answering automatically, how I can set it to answer manually?

I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
What's the secret?

Where do I find help contecting my IPhone 4 to my cars bluetooth hands free system?

Where do I find help contecting my IPhone 4 to my cars bluetooth hands free system?

Try the owner's manual or your dealer. Some in car systems have updates available to support iOS 4.
It might be hlepful if you gave us a little more information, like what kind of car, what, exactly, you've done to try to get it working and what the problem you're having is.
Some cars have systems that will do things like read you text messages and e-mail. Those features are NOT compatible with the iPhone.

6220c - Cant pair device with car bluetooth?

I have been trying to pair my 6220c with my new car bluetooth (installed by factory in new car purchase, I dont know what brand).
I have tried other Nokia phones and they have worked perfectly, but I cannot for the life of me get mine to pair. I have checked all settings and everything seems fine but it still wont work.
Any ideas please?
Its a new phone and a new car so im desperate to get them to work together!
Cheers in advance

You did not say which car but most factory fitted car bluetooths can be very tricky to connect to.
For a start, I suggest you remove all previous pairings on both car and phone and start from scratch. Check that the bluetooth on the phoine and car are working by testing with other b luetooth devices. Also make sure you have the latest fiirmware on both car and phone. It would also be no harm to contact the car manufacturer for a list of compatible phones.

Since I upgraded to IOS8, iphone has changed the way it calls via car bluetooth. Before (IOS8) once I hit 'call' it was transfer to car speakers and i would hear dial tone until answer. Now, call will only transfer to speakers once call is answered

Since I upgraded to IOS8, iphone has changed the way it calls via car bluetooth. Before (IOS8) once I hit 'call' it was transfer to car speakers and i would hear dial tone until answer. Now, call will only transfer to speakers once call is answered. This is very incovenient as I never know if my call is going through, and sometimes when call isn't answered immediately I have to look at my phone to cancel the call. Is there a new setting I am missing?

Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Cannot retrieve IPhone contacts on car Bluetooth device

With iPhone connected to car Bluetooth I am unable to access phone contacts but can use phone

It depends on the make, model, year, and options on the car. I have used 2 iPhones (iPhone 4 & 5s) with 3 different cars. Two of the cars were able to access the iPhone contacts and one does not. Some research led me to the car manufacturer's website where they showed which phones and which features on those phones were supported. In the one case it clearly stated that they supported calling but not access to the contacts. You may want to either do some internet searching or reply with the car's make, model and year here.
