If your car supports Phone Book Access Profile(PBAP), you don't need to do anything on your phone other than pair. The phone supports PBAP.

Question about Apple Watch/iPhone and Car Audio/Bluetooth

I have a Toyota Vensa and when I get into my car, the iPhone properly connects with the car's Bluetooth for phone calls and audio. If I then receive a phone call - both the car/iPhone and Watch will ring.
But if I answer from the Watch, is there then a way to switch the call to the car's bluetooth system like there is is you answer with the iPhone?

If your iPhone is already auto-connecting itself to your bluetooth hands-free system in your car, you don't need to do all this work (and risk an accident while driving).
This is what the "handoff" feature is designed for:
If you answered on your watch, but really wanted it on your car's hands-free system, simply swipe the phone icon up on the iPhone's lock screen -- this will immediately transfer to the hands-free system! The phone icon will appear automatically on your iPhone's lock screen, whenever you are on a call on your Apple Watch.
Note: the "handoff" feature goes away if the iPhone is unlocked -- so if it's already unlocked, you just have to lock it again or you won't see the phone icon to swipe up. The iPhone doesn't require (or allow) you to unlock it for the audio call handoff to work.
The instructions DannyWoods posted work fine once the phone is unlocked, but again, I think it's more risky than just doing the swipe motion on the left side where the phone icon will be. And as long as your iPhone does automatically connect to the speakers anyway (which it will do if you have previously paired it with your bluetooth hands-free system in your car), then it will work instantly with no other hassle.
I wish there were an easier way, but at least it's down to one gesture (swipe up on iPhone). There really should be a button on the watch to let you transfer it (since it has that button in all other use-cases, but not with a call in progress). It's dumb that I have to reach into my pocket and pull out my phone to transfer it to the hands-free system, but that's how it is. :-(
Hope this is helpful.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

My I phone 5 will no longer connect to my car via Bluetooth since the 8.1 update?

Most likely your Ford needs a Bluetooth firmware update.

How do i get my iphone5 to sync with my cars handsfree bluetooth?

how do i get my iphone5 to sync with my cars handsfree bluetooth?

You need to check the car's manual to see how to put the car into discovery/pairing mode. Once that is done, the iPhone and car should recognize each other, so long as Bluetooth is turned on in the phone. You may have to enter a passcode in the phone for the vehicle, but that is generally explained in the vehicle's manual.

Getting Contacts entered into Car's Bluetooth via PCMCIA Card & Macbook Pro

I have a iPhone 4 and have it paired to my Mercedes bluetooth. Contacts (which create the phone book in the car's bluetooth) have to be created using a PC MCIA memory card inserted in the vehicle.
Does anyone know how I can create the contacts with a Macbook Pro and get them to a PCMCIA card?

Have now tried to connect the MacBook Pro to the Lexus, but although the mac sees the Lexus as a headset (as it should) when I enter the Passcode, they fail to shake hands so the Mac is not added as a 'phone' on the Lexus. This is fairly understandable as the Mac will not be presenting its self as a Phone>Smartphone device, but rather a Computer>Laptop device.
I thought I could get it to spoof the Phone>Smartphone bit using the Bluetooth Explorer app, but that doesn't seem to work as I had hoped.
Something else I noticed using Bluetooth Device Inspector (http://www.radioactivetoy.com/), my OS 10.5.4 MacBookPro shows the following Bluetooth services:
Serial Port (SPP)
AV remote Control (AVRCP)
my iMac and iBook which are both on 10.4.9 show the following services:
OBEX Object Push (OPP)
OBEX File Transfer (FTP)
Serial Port (SPP)
It seems Mac OS 10.5.x has removed the OPP protocol from the Bluetooth device. I'm pretty sure OPP is what the Lexus would use to receive the Address Book data on a phone, so this would be needed.
As a result of this, I tried connecting the iBook to the Lexus, but still had the same connection issues as before, so I wasn't even able to test the contact transfer.
Unless someone knows how to get the mac to show as a mobile phone, I don't hold out much hope for this method of transferring contacts

When playing a song in my car thru bluetooth audio suddenly stops

I'll be listening to a song in my car from the ipod, thru bluetooth, when all of a sudden a song's audio will stop, but the time on the car's dash screen shows the song still playing.

Maps App and car's bluetooth

Can the driving directions from the Maps App on iPhone 5s be sent thru the car's bluetooth speaker?

Hey P. Comeau,
Great question! Yes, you can definitely do so. I use my car’s bluetooth system all the time with Apple Maps for navigation. However, this is going to depend on the functionality of your car’s bluetooth setup, as some configurations may not support this feature. For more information, check out the following resources:

I have just bought a car with bluetooth and want to know how to use my iphone with it

I bought a car with bluetooth facility and want to know how to use use iphone with it

First, you will need to navigate to the bluetooth interface in your car. Generally, this is something built into the navigation system/entertainment system. Look for an item that says either settings or communication, or bluetooth. If you are having trouble, refer to your car's manual. Next, go to settings, general, bluetooth and change the switch to on. Follow the onscreen instructions in your car until you see something like waiting for device or this is now discoverable or something like that. Your car or some sort of weird name should now appear under the devices list in the bluetooth settings. Now, the car should give you a passcode to type into the phone (it may or may not do this). Type this in and/or follow the rest of the onscreen instructions.

My home wireless is no longer recognized, even going through the set-up process. It does not connect to the car through Bluetooth seamlessly--I have to add my phone as a new device each time I get in the car. In attempting to solve these problems I have gone to settings-phone-upgrade and it states that the upgrade is available-select to continue-(which I do)- it checks -please wait and it then states that update not available - try later.

Maybe not too late to help you.
For specifically fixing the Bluetooth, un-pair your phone with the car, and go through the process of repairing the two.
In general, the KK update requires many of us (different phones) to perform a Factory Data Reset after we back up our personal content (pictures, music, movies, or other downloaded files) to a PC or MAC. This will result in you having to do a bit of work to setup icons for the programs you use, and maybe putting in the specifics again for email accounts and other specialized apps. So if you are going to do this sort of thing... copy important information/settings down on paper.
HTH.

My new Iphone 5 has no sounds when connected to car's bluetooth. Never a problem with iPhone 4.

I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 5, and upon conneecting my 5 to my car's bluetooth (2010 Acura TSX) I no longer hear sounds. This could be the lock sound, text alerts, or email "dings". All of them are muted. If i turn bluetooth off they re-appear without an issue.
I suspect the problem is that the iPhone is sending all of the audio to the bluetooth, however since I have the radio on and don't have it on Bluetooth audio then my car isn't playing the sounds. I don't get how to fix this as it was never a problem on my Iphone4 running iOS5.1
has anyone fixed this while being able to keep their bluetooth on so the handsfree works. For now i just put my phone on silent so that itvibrates however sometimes i forget and then miss alerts.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

could also check with an acura dealer to see if there is an update for your bluetooth software on the car.
a new product like the iphone 5 is designed by the most up to date bluetooth regulations and frequencies and all that techno stuff, and if the software on your car is not up to date its going by 2010 specs.

Airplay Icon not Showing when connected to my car's bluetooth stereo

I have an UVO system in my Kia. It has been working great with the Iphone Airplay since October. I recently updated my phone and now, just like many others, no airplay showing up on my music apps.
I basically use Spotify and Pandora all the time with zero issues. Now when my phone is connected to my car through bluetooth, my phone works perfectly and can talk through the speakers for calls but the music apps do not display the icon to switch between dock connector or bluetooth audio. This has led me to believe it's not a problem with my UVO system in my car but rather an apple related issue. Why would they dissapear? I have tried shutting off, rebooting, and all that jazz on both my Iphone 4 and Ipad2. Also, even when connected through the USB port, the UVO still doesnt recognize the audio.
Any advice would be awesome!

I DON'T text and drive. I just want be able to hear, for example, alerts that I have put on my calendar. I can/do pull over to look at texts--but not when I don't know that I have a message. This was never an issue until a couple of weeks ago.
