Q: iPhone 5 Bluetooth issues with car

My iPhone 5 is having issues with Bluetooth and my car.  It pairs with no problem and I can make calls with no problem.  If my phone rings and I try to answer it with the car Bluetooth controls the call picks up then immediately goes back to listening to the radio... But the call is still connected and the phone thinks its still connected to "my car".  So I need to quickly pick up the handset and switch the source to phone or the other person will hang up.  If it helps the car is a 2010 Infiniti.   Any ideas?  I already tried re-pairing it.  I also tried resetting the network settings.

 

Thanks in advance

iPhone 5, iOS 6

    I agree with all of your complaints. If APPLE then fix it please. If TOYOTA/JBL Audio fix it please!

    I have a 2011 Sienna and after my IP4 upgraded to iOS6 it did not connect at all. Now I bought an IP5 with iOS6 installed and still DOES NOT CONNECT! HELP!

    Same issue with my 2012 Nissan Navara and iPhone 5 answering calls, I've posted separately on this issue too.

     

    Disappointed IOS 6.0.1 update didn't solve this issue as it's dangerous and frustrating.

     

    Surely enough people have posted on this now for Apple to crack on and get it resolved...

    Thanks jag.atx. This worked for my 2011 BMW. I did take the additional step of resetting the iPhone 5, deleting all BT devices from my iPhone and the BMW. I have been successfully receiving calls for 2weeks now. However this procedure did not fix the like problem on my Garmin Zumo 660.

    I'm having the same problem as everyone else but also, I noticed when I'm in the car with bluetooth on, text messages are silent.  I hear no sound or even vibration when a text comes in.

    Just found this link from Toyota. It tells you what they have tested, passed, failed with regards to compatiblity issues.  Don't know how helpful it is, but thought I'd share.

    I'm having same issue with brand new 2012 Infiniti QX and 2013 Infiniti M37x.  My wife's iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.1 works fine but my iPhone 5 with same OS won't recieve calls (they connect, but I can't hear caller and they can't hear me).  Based on this I believe it's an Apple issue related to iPhone 5, not the OS.  Very frustrating as it basically removes the benefit of vehicle handsfree.  Dear Apple, please fix ASAP...thanks!

    Adding yet another comment in this discussion: my old ip4 worked and continues to with the Sony installed in my old Mercedes. My new ip5 does not pair. However, it receives pairing requests from neighboring cars at stop light in traffic...

    Wait for 6.01.1 or 02, or go to a Genius Bar and get a replacement phone?

    I just tested the iOS 6.1 beta 4 which were released yesterday and nothing is fixed. It keeps disconnecting after a few seconds.

    I will give it a try as soon as I get home. Stand by what I fear will be a disappointing result.

    From the release notes iOS only addresses a wifi bug; also it is available for only iPhone 5, so it won't help those with older phones running iOS 6. 

     

    This has been going on since iOS 5 (I have a Verizon iPhone 4).  I have called both Apple and Infiniti (I have an '08 G35) and visited the Genius Bar twice.  Apple doesn't seem to care. 

     

    I am in the market for a new phone after Christmas and will seriously consider an Android if this isn't fixed.  My car has a manual transmission and it is unsafe (even more so than most cars) to use the phone without a handsfree system.
