Q: bluetooth

Looking for help from Apple folks on bluetooth connectivity with my iphone 6s plus and chevy equinox.  Have read many posts about how the issue is with Apple.  My phone does not work properly with the bluetooth.  Is there a fix in sight?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2.1

    Most Bluetooth issues can be traced back to the audio device in the vehicle. Apple installs the latest Bluetooth profiles on the phones, and it is up to the vehicle manufacturer to determine if their device will support the latest phone and iOS. They get a beta copy of the software to test, and many need to update the software in their audio devices, and many don't do that.

     

    "Does not work properly" does not identify the actual issue, so it is hard to troubleshoot. Most of the time, if you remove the phone from the vehicle's list, remove the vehicle from the phone's list, then reset the network settings on the phone, then put the two back into pairing mode, it should work. Understand that the iPhone may not support all of the features the vehicle has stated, but you can look at the supported Bluetooth profiles here. iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles - Apple Support

     

    If this does not help, check with your local Chevy dealer for assistance to see if there is a software update for your vehicle.

    Not what I read about the issue.  When I turn on BT, Pandora app is not illuminated, you can only use bluetooth which gives you limited function. If you make a call, sometimes it connect to the phone and not  the speaker . When you finish a call, the screen says paused, the radio won;t go back on unless you manually switch.  If you google these issues, most say it's the current IOS.

    Are you referring to Pandora on the phone, or in the vehicle's audio system. If the audio system, is this CarPlay? If so, then troubleshoot that. If not, then find out from Chevrolet if Pandora app on their device is supported by the iPhone.
