Iphone 5 no longer connecting to bluetooth in car?

My Iphone 5 has been connected succesfully via bluetooth to my car for the past 5 months (Ford Fiesta).  Yesterday I went to use it and it wont connect, I powered off the phone, turned bluetooth on/off still not working.
I debonded all phones from the car and went to start afresh but that wont work either.
When it is searching for devices it just seems to be stuck?  I tried another Iphone 5 in my car and that connected no problems at all.
Anyone have any ideas, it clearly must be the phone but wonder what on earth I have done.

Thanks for that, when I go to delete the pairing in the phone it does not give me the option of deleting  a device, it is just 'searching' under devices - like it is stuck?? I am guessing by the Head Unit you mean the car, I have deleted all phones from the car so it is completely empty. 
I am truly stumped as I say it has been working perfectly and now its not, its driving me crazy!!

  • My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

    My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7.  Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud.  Worked last night but same problem today.  It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car.  Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well.  Any ideas?

    Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

  • My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3.  Is this fixable?

    My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air nor my BMW X3.   I've made no recent adjustments, it's just stopped functioning.   Any ideas?   Can this be fixed, or is my iPhone on the way out?

    Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

  • HT204387 what is the bluetooth pairing default code to connect to bluetooth device (car).

    What is the bluetooth pairing code to connect to bluetooth device (car) for iphone 4 w 7.os

    first you must put your iphone in the discover mode by going to bluetooth on your phone which places it in discovery mode. Them you must go to your car's bluetooth discovery mode and place it in discovery mode. If the phone sees the car and visa versa, the car will give you a code to place into your phone. Once you put the code into the phone the two will be linked. Make sure that your car has "automatic" link set so that your phone will link every time you turn on the ignition. Refer to your car's manual for more help or go to your dealer, they should be able to help you or even do it for you, but you need to know how to be able to discover and then link bluetooth devices yourself because every bluetooth device uses the same discovery formula especially if you want to use your IOS devices to play music through your system using bluetooth.

  • TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    not much response in here which surprises me...
    Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
    in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
    I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
    My phone is now connected....
    Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
    strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
    airport extreme
    Zeppelin air
    2x apple tv
    2 ipads
    iphone 4s
    2 mac
    1 pc
    I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
    I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

  • Any ideas why iPhone 6 cannot connect to bluetooth in my new 2015 Nissan Altima.

    Any ideas why iPhone 6 cannot connect to bluetooth in my new 2015 Nissan Altima.
    Thank you.

    To be honest, if you do a search of the forum, you will find a number of posts with problems with the 2015 Nissan Altima. It appears that it cannot pair. This seems to be a problem with the vehicle itself and users have been contacting the manufacturer for updates to the vehicle's system in hopes of correcting this. I suggest you contact your dealer and ask if he has any info from Nissan. They will probably try to get rid of you by saying it is a phone problem, but as I said earlier, there are multiple posts here about issues with the Altima.

  • How can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

    how can i use my iPhone 4 and connect via bluetooth with my macpro

    The only way that you can connect your iPhone to the mac is to use it for a "Wi-fi hotspot" meaning that you can use the celluar connectivity of your phone to connect your computer to the interent.
    Do you mean a MacBook Pro of the desktop MacPro?

  • Cannot get my iphone 4 to connect via bluetooth to another phone or my pc

    I cannot get my iphone 4 to connect via bluetooth to another phone or my PC, despite activating bluetooth on the iphone it just says 'devices' 'searching' 'now discoverable'. I have put the 2 devices very close to each other as well.
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks

    That's because it's not supported. The iPhone supports hands free devices, keyboards and A2DP audio streaming. Bluetooth can only be used to a computer for tethering. Some apps can establish peer to peer connections for gaming and data sharing, but that's it.
    What you're trying to do will NOT work.

  • TS3581 iOS 6.1 update - iPhone will no longer connect/pair with my car.  Is there a workaround for this issue?

    After the 6.1 update my iPhone 4S will no longer connect with my car stereo (2012 Chevy Sonic).  Until update, everything was working fine and I experienced no such issues.  I have tried deleting my phone from my stereo memory and re-pairing, but I get a pair unsuccessful error on my iPhone; I have been able to pair a pre-6.1 iPhone successfully after discovering the problem.  Has anyone found a workaround to this issue?

    IIRC updating the iPhone iOS changes its characteristics when viewed by vehicle
    bluetooth
    That is why you need to remove pairing from both ends and start again
    Vehicle just does not recognise the iPhone as the one it previously paired with

  • Upgraded to iOS 4.2 and iPhone no longer connects to AT&T Network.

    Title pretty much sums it up. After updating to iOS 4.2, my iPhone 4 no longer connects to the AT&T Network. It just says Searching and rarely finds the network. When it does, it shoes 1 bar and as soon as I try to send a text or make a call, it goes back to Searching.

    Reverting to an earlier firmware version is not supported.
    Stop by a local AT&T store reporting the problem and request a new SIM card where the new SIM card can be activated with your iPhone. There will be no charge for this.
    If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup and no change with a new SIM card, the iPhone includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Get messagewhen syncing iphone no longer connected or not responding

    I have tried to transfer ringtones from my computer or memory stick to my iphone. These ringtones were previously on this phone but are gone. Each time I try to sync them again, I get the message "your iphone is no longer connected or is not responding". It is physiaclly connected so I'm losing connection internally.How do I fix this problem?

    If you are using a USB hub for the iPhone, don't. If you are using a front port on a desktop or tower computer, don't.

  • My iPhone 4 no longer connects properly to my car stereo.

  • Why doesn't the iPhone or iPad connect via bluetooth?

    I try to connect my iPhone to other phones or even other iPhone and it doesn't find any phone,even the iPad.It only says searching and ''Now visible'' but doesn't connects with anything.
    What was the Bluetooth made for, if it doesn't work with own Apple's devices??So,it works with what??

    It works with the things it is designed to work with. i.e. headsets, headphones, speakers, car stereos, other iOS devices for peer to peer apps and computers for internet tethering.
    There are over 20 different Bluetooth profiles - not all are supported by all devices. Apple chose to support the ones here:
