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

Any other suggestions for re-connecting? I have never had a problem before and can still connect to other networks i am a part of...

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.

  • HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord.  Is there a fix for this issue?

    iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord.  Is there a fix for this issue?  It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5.  It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house.  At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too.  This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road.  Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

  • 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will i have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects?

    Final Cut Pro X 10.2 crashes when I try to convert old libraries for use in the new software. Is there a workaround for this? Or will I have to continue using the previous version to complete older projects? the only foreseeable solution is to begin any new projects on 10.2 or importing footage on 10.2 and starting form scratch--which is something i definitely don't want to do or have time to do. ANY advice, thoughts, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
    Running 10.10.3 // MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) // 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 // 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Exactly the same problem with me.
    Some other threads advice to remove fonts, clean the caches, remove add ins but nothing works consistenty, for some it looks like it works, for me it failed.
    What I did not try yet, was to move the Render files out of the malicious library to trash.

  • Bluetooth for iPhone 6 still won't pair with my car after iOS 8.1 update

    So frustrated. I assumed that Apple knew about the problem and that iOS 8.1 would fix what is clearly a very common/widespread issue. Bluetooth is not exactly a new technology... how is it that Apple creates a highly advanced phone, but it can't make a 10-15 years-old technology work?
    I never had any issues with my 5S, but my iPhone 6 has not been able to pair with the Bluetooth in my 2011 Mini Cooper since the day I got it (no phone or BT audio). The 8.1 update has had zero effect on the sequence of events that occur when I try to pair my phone. The car has no problem recognizing the phone, and I can see the car listed under Bluetooth devices, and when I select the car from the list of devices on the phone, the screen to enter the pairing code comes up on my car display. The problem is that the phone never gives me the code to enter into the car display.
    I have tried all the "tricks" people have used to get their BT to work (deleting all phones from car, resetting all phone settings, renaming the phone, etc). Nothing works for me. I really don't want to have to get rid of my 6, but since Apple has never publicly acknowledged the problem, I have no way of knowing if this is ever going to be fixed.
    Really disappointed in you Apple. This is my 3rd iPhone, and you're about to lose a loyal customer if you don't get this sorted out very soon.

    The same problem here.  iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 and bmw 328i 2013 with latest Bluetooth update doesn't pair. The phone will see the car in bluetooh settings but fails to connect.  Based on apple tech support I did the following:
    1. powered thr phone down and back on- no help
    2. Removed all other phones from iDrive- no help
    3. Tried with wi if off - no help
    4. Reset network settings- no help
    5. Restored my phone entirely to factory settings- no help
    The phone can pair to other Bluetooth devices and the car can pair with iphone 4 running iOS 7 no problem. my wife's iphone 6 won't pair with my car either.
    I sure hope apple is still working to correct this!

  • When I use my iPhone 4 my cheek hits the mute/speaker buttons is there a fix for this?

    When I am on calls with my iPhone 4 which I just purchased at full price ---- my cheeck hits the mute and/or speaker button....is there a fix for this without taking phone apart?

    If the iPhone is new and you take it apart, kiss the warranty goodbye.
    Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor? If you are using a case, remove the case before the next call to see if the same occurs without the case. If not, get another case.

    Hi Robertfrom Denver.
    Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
    I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
    I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

  • HT201394 cannot use bluetooth with my new nissan altima since I updated to 8.0.2.  I am very disappointed is there a fix for this?

    A Month ago I purchased a new Altima and I was able to connect with my iPhone to the car and take and answer calls.  Since the update I can no longer use my bluetooth to answer, make or hear calls on my car. 
    My car also uses Nissan connect.  I was able to use it just fine with the previous iphone OS versions.  My husband has the same iPhone that I have and it works perfectly on the car.  He hasn't upgraded it to 8.01 nor 8.02.  He is on version 7.1.2
    I hope Apple can address this.  Or maybe there is a way to undo the updates and go back to 7.1.2 on my phone.  We both have iphones 4s 32 gb.  I will address this with Nissan as well and its syste on the altima (2014 nissan connect).
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution.  I tried restarting the car and the phones.  I tried erasing the phone from the car and re-installing it.
    Well if anyone gets a solution, please let me know.   Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.

  • After up date my I phone 5 will no longer work when calling an automated phone . Press 1 for this or 2 for that. It tells me wrong selection.

    So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
    Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

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

    It charges fine and I can control the iPod through the stereo controls, but the sound comes out of the phone, not the speakers. How can I fix this?

    Hello Kate,
    It sounds like you are having trouble with Bluetooth on your iPhone 4.  I recommend reviewing the following article for the issue you described:

  • 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!!

  • HT204387 When trying to add text notifications on my iphone 5 Through my Ford sync all pages tell me to open settings, click on the sync when it is pair with the car and there should be a Turn on Notifications slide but there is not.  Please help.

    I heard that Ford Sync now allows the user to have text message notifications appear on the dash board.  I have looked up how to do so, the instructions say on our phone click on settings-Bluetooth-when paired with the sync click on sync and there should be a slide option that says turn notifications on.  I am using an Iphone 5 with the latest operating system and I do not have a Turn notifications on stting in my bluetooth.  Please help

    Resetting Network Settings means that the saved password that enabled your iPhone to connect to your WiFi router was erased. You are now reentering that password. Most likely you are entering the password incorrectly or are entering an old password or the wrong password.
    Check that the password that you are using is absolutely, positively, the correct and current password for your router. Make sure that you are not confused l with 1, O with 0, etc.
