Q: iphone 6 bluetooth with BMW

BT connects but I don't get any sound notifications unless I am actually on a call.  Phone will vibrate for emails & text messages but no sound notifications.  I have checked every possible setting.  Any ideas?

iPhone 6, iOS 8

    Hi monwen7925

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    Situations with sound, I know, can be very frustrating. It sounds as though the Ring/Silent switch may have been toggled to silent. Please use the following article as a reference and let me know if this is not the situation that is affecting your device. 

     

    iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts

     

    Set your device to silent mode

    • iPhone: Toggle the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device.

     

    Cheers, 

    Joe

    Thanks Joe - already did that though.  Actually, the Tier 2 Apple specialist that I've been working with is having the same issue.  He even called me yesterday.  So at least I know they're all aware ...

    hi monwen. Did you figure out the issue? Im having the same problem. for example, my waze app will not talk anymore while im connected to bluetooth unless im on a call with waze on in background. Same with all other sounds from phone. Thanks, james
