Q: Iphone 7 Plus Bluetooth Subaru

I just upgraded from iPhone 6S Plus to 7 Plus. I was always able to talk on my phone via bluetooth in my 2014 Subaru Outback until now.

Apple tells me that Subaru needs to update their software drivers, Subaru is telling me that Apple needs to come up with a software update. I am still able to play my music on my phone though bluetooth, just not talk on the phone. Does anybody have an idea when or if there will be a software update?  Thanks!

iPhone, iOS 10.0.1

    I have the same issue.  My iphone 6 plus was running iOS 10.0.1, bluetooth calling worked fine in my car on my Kenwood DNN992.  I upgraded to 7 plus running iOS 10.0.2, bluetooth music works great, I am able to use the phone on the car BUT the bluetooth connection will drop and connect endlessly unless I hang up on my phone.

    Hi -  i have a 2014 subaru forester. I had an iphone 5s with no problems with bluetooth connectokty. I just got an iphhone 7. I was able to pair the phone no problem. However when i shut the car down and restart the phone will not reconnect. I have to re-pair the device.  Subaru told me this is the first they heard of the problem. Worked with apple - did a factory reset eTc.  My 5s was running 10- no problem. Something with the iphone 7.
