iPhone 2.0 software and Bluetooth

I am sooo disappointed in the new software. I've successfully used my first generation iPhone with software 1.1.4 with my new Dodge uConnect system ($1,500 sound and bluetooth). Until today.

Upgraded my iPhone to version 2.0. Upgrade failed and got repeated error codes through iTunes. No big deal, I was on my way to Apple store to buy new 3G phone. 5 hours later, have new phone, and apple specialist fixed the original. New phone unable to use with uConnect. It pairs, but doesn't find the phone (?). Called Apple. They said they don't support auto bluetooth devices. (nice to know). Gave 3G phone to son, reactivated my original phone to me - still does not work.

Here I am $500 and one full day later and now there are TWO phones that won't connect to my system. PLEASE FIX THE BLUETOOTH!!!

iMac Intel, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Interesting, I have a Jeep 2007 Compass with uConnect. It pairs with the 3G but doesn't see the phone when I try to make a call, or when I get a call. Worked fine with the older iPhone.

I did something after an hour (literally!) of fiddling, I thought it was turning TTY mode on...that made it work. Then when I left the car and came back it didn't work. I tried the same thing and it didn't make it work again. I tried it with another phone. No dice. Finally I gave up, and after the phone had been off for a minute or 3 it suddenly worked. Of corse it stopped again after I got out of the car.

When I told the nice AppleCare guy this he said he could help. Unfortunately we then got cut off and I had to call back and try again.

So I would strongly recommend you call back and see if the next guy can help! (and then post the answer...race ya!)

You can add me to the list. Same deal happened with my 2008 Jeep Liberty. UConnect no longer works well with the iPhone after the 2.0 update. It'll pair easily, but it won't connect, except on very rare occasions. I have had it manage to connect 3 times since the upgrade, but it's very hit or miss whether or not it will connect. I've deleted the phone from the UConnect, I've unpaired it, I've tried the pairing procedure numerous times, I've restored the phone twice. (This is all with an original 4GB iPhone.)

Apple has to have broken something with the 2.0 upgrade, because the phone clearly was capable of connecting prior to applying the update, and I have gotten it to work since, but again, very intermittently.

I wished I had read all of your post before I upgraded to 2.0. I have 2008 Dodge Caravan and now I can not use the handsfree set. It pairs, but it cannot find my phone. This is really bad for Apple in a society that is going handsfree and the phone does not work. I even tried to restore my phone back and no luck 2.0 is still there. What a waste of time and money! I hope that they figure out a fix and quick.

Add me to the list!

I upgraded my iPhone software to version 2 for my original iPhone.

Now my Uniden ELBT595 home phone system does not work anymore with the newest version of the iPhone software. I cannot get the system to pair with my iPhone and it does not recognize the iPhone as a bluetooth device.

I hope Apple fixes the problem as it is VERY inconvenient for a lot of users of these devices that are no longer working.
