IPhone 5 bluetooth connection to car stereo

Just upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5. My phone connects with Bluetooth fine with my Pioneer stereo in my car, but the song names and artists don't display on my car stereo and the remote for my car stereo now won't advance songs. Volume and source work fine on the remote. All this worked with my iPhone 4. Is there some sort of a bluetooth accessiblity issue that I can fix on my phone?

Same problem here - I got it to connect once but it barely worked so I disconnected and reattempted connection and fail after fail.

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.

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...

IPhone connectivity to Car Stereo -- POSSIBLE SOLUTION

I stumbled across a possible solution to the iPhone not working with some car stereos. Granted, I have a cheap name brand stereo ,but it has the full ipod interface built-in. It's a Valor NVG-710W ($999 from frys).
My iPhone worked in my truck from day one, but after a week, i made some playlist changes, and it quit working. After a trip to the Apple Store, to no avail, I was determined to figure out what happened. Making sure it wasn't the radio itself, I tested my wife's iphone, and it worked. I started tweaking the settings and playlists.
What I found is this: the car stereo doesn't comprehend "Smart Playlists." Everytime I sync'd a Smart Playlist to the iPhone, the stereo would not connect to iPhone, but if I took the Smart playlist's off, it would connect immediately and start playing thru the stereo.
Hope this tidbit helps someone out.

That happens to me occasionally. Have you tried power cycling the iphone? that seems to fix it for me when it happens.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) macbook, and 2 iphones

I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

HT204387 Does anyone know how to transfer a contact from an iPhone 5 via bluetooth to a car stereo?

Your stereo must support PBAP(Phone Book Access Profile).

Connection to Car Stereo

I have an ipod connection into my car stereo in my Infiniti. I was hoping to replace my ipod with my Blackberry Storm and be able to play it through my stereo system. Is there a cable that will fit my car connection and the Storm?

First, I don't know what type of connection your car stereo has, but as for me, I am using a simple male 3.5mm to RCA jack cable (See link below) for my car and it works wonderfully.

IPhone 4s bluetooth connects but does not work handsfree

My iPhone 4s bluetooth connects but does not work handsfree. Has worked fine with My iPhone 3s. The Light on my VW turns green indicating a connect, but the phone does not work through the VWs audio.

Fixed by power cycling the iPhone

Ios 5.0.1 + Iphone 4 bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

My Iphone 4 will not connect with my new JVC car stereo I have spoken to JVC customer support and they say its an Apple issue that they need to fix (changed something with the bluetooth connection scripts in the latest update update, as they have done before).
The phone finds the stereo and then tries to pair with it, however half way through the pairing process the phone losses connection with the stereo and the pairing is then deleted.
I have deleted all the existing pairing in the phone memory and ensured that the stereo has been rebooted to ensure no conflict of previous installs would effect the process
Does anyone know if Apple are going to fix this glitch in a new softwre update (and if so when is it being released) as at the minute i have an expensive stereo which is cant use to its full ability?

Similar problems occured when Apple released iOS 4 last year. It was NOT fixed with an update from Apple. It was fixed by the system vendors and automakers releasing updates for their equipment. There are ongoing complaints from people with some Toyota built cars (Toyota and Lexus) with some systems as well as some BMW drivers.
I'm willing to bet money that the head unit you have is not fully standards compliant. Unfortunately, getting JVC to admit that is going to be nearly impossible. I suspect they will just quietly issue an update sometime in the next few months. Assuming the head unit can be updated by the end user at all. You may have to resort to an inexpensive visor mount speaker phone in the mean-time.

Iphone bluetooth problem with car stereo

I bought a third party bluetooth adapter for my car stereo. Hooking it up with any other device ( other mp3 players, my husband's windows phone ) all work and stream music. Pairing it with my iphone 5 causes constant crackling and static like blown speakers. Same with the ipod touch. Is there a setting in the phone that will fix this?
Thanks

I had same issue on iPhone 4 using "ebay" type adapter but improved it
with Blackberry bluetooth receiver
I however now have iPhone 5 wired in for perfect results

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.

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..

I have programmed my Iphone to automatically connect to confcalls (dialing the nbr, pausing, dialing the PIN code).
Works fine from the Iphone as such.
When I connect my Iphone in Bluetooth to the voice-driven system in my car (Mercedes C), only the phone number appears to be transmitted. Entering a conference call number via the Iphone while driving is not a good idea.
How can I fix this ?

That *****. I sell electronics on ebay. Before listing them, i have to test and clean them. I have worked with microsoft Zune, you could sync via wireless through the network to your host computer.
i was hoping Apple would add that feature or the ability to connect to my computer via WiFi or Bluetooth and sync it wirelessly... It would be sweet to have the bluetooth and wireless opened up so you can do more than just connect to headphones or a headset...
I upgraded to the iPhone 4 this past december, i am on replacement # 2 or my 3rd iPhone 4... I was hoping for some upgrades in quality. Also being left handed, it seemed to drop many calls and give me very poor reception. i added a Griffin Elan Form Graphie case that covers all but the front, top button, bottom speakers and volume control buttons and the call and reception quality has improved. But I sure would have loved to see some improvements in the quality and function of the phone...
Thanks for your input, i really appreciate your replies...

Solution to connect iPhone 6p Bluetooth to your car

I finally got my new iPhone 6plus to connect to my car. I have a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe (hopefully, this solution may work for any car, but I dunno). In my Hyundai's bluetooth settings, I erased any and all phones that had been paired with the car. (Apparently, my car kept trying to connect the old phone.) After erasing the old phone I was able to pair the new iPhone 6p to my car. In short: delete all old phones from your car's bluetooth memory and your new iPhone 6p should work.

Try 0000 or 1234. If that doesn't work call the closest Mercedes dealership.
