Nissan bluetooth and iPhone

Is it still working for you? I have a 2008 sentra and it worked great for a day, now back to the same problem connecting. Im very disappointed

Yes, mine is still working perfectly and i used it a lot today. I was on the road all day.

I recently picked up my iPhone and have been having issues with the bluetooth on my 2008 Altima. It set-up just fine, and always rings when my phone gets a call. However, immediately after the phone is picked up, it goes straight to phone speaker, and the "call time" starts blinking on the dash, like when a call is finished, or Bluetooth is disconnected from the phone. Once, I hit the "handsfree bluetooth" button on the phone, it goes right back to the car speakers. This usually happens at the beginning of the phone-call however.

I have had an issue in the past when the HTC Incredibles did a huge software upgrade about a year ago. Anytime I would get a text message while on blue-tooth, or on speaker-phone for that matter, the alternate speaker source would quit, and would go back to the phone only.

It sure would be nice if Siri could engage/disengage Bluetooth/Wi-Fi or there was a shortcut to do it without having to go through settings!

I had some time play with a friend's iPhone 5 in the car today (2007 Nissan Altima) and the results were mixed. In short, the connect / disconnect / connect again / disconnect again problem the tcasady described, and that many have mentioned in the past, is gone. Calls both sent and received connected fine and held their connection. Alas, however, the phone will still not ring in the car. After 2 rings, the display on the radio will show the incoming number, but there will be no audible ring.

By way of caparison, I also set up a blackberry 9900 at the same time. Rings in car, no issue.

I use an iPhone 4, but still on iOS 5.x. When I get around to updating, I will compare my results w/ Brisco811's.

Thanks to all for continuing to report on this ever-so-frustrating issue.

Well I have a 2010 Altima with nav system. I have a iphone 5. Can call out fine via bluetooth. However, when receiving a call it rings, I answer through the car and then the phone (apparently) hangs up. Everything works fine with my wife's iphone4. Iphone 5 bluetooth works fine with a three year old garmin.

I bought I Phone 5s for myself and my wife. We cannot pair either of them with the bluetooth system in her 2009 Nissan Murano. I don't know whether to be angry at Nissan or Apple or both. I deleted our old phones from her bluetooth system. Tried pairing new phones. No dice. I went to the Nissan site listed in the manual. www.nissan.usa.com/bluetooth for a recommended phone list. Every I-Phone except the 5 is recommended. Not being a techie, I don't understand why both Nissan and Apple cannot solve this problem. In fact, I am willing to bet that one or the other or both is fighting the other over the licensing of the technology. Regardless, the customer service failure in this issue is abominable. One wishes that the states that have hands-free laws for drivers would mandate that these companies work these problems out. I really wonder why there isn't an app that solves this problem. Anyway, go to the Nissan site and file a complaint with them. Also see if there are I HATE NISSAN and I HATE APPLE sites where you can leave complaints. We had success resolving an issue with Sears by posting on I HATE SEARS.

Glad it works for you. Both my wife and I have iOS 6.0.1 in our I-5s and the phones will not hook up to the bluetooth in her 2009 Nissan Murana.

This is definitely an apple problem. The iPhone worked perfectly with iOS4 then every other upgrade since caused nothing but problems with my 2008 Nissan. Every other non-apple phone i tried works no problem, but somehow apple blames the problem on Nissan. I just gave up on apple because they don't seem to care that the Bluetooth coding in their software is faulty. I've tried everything and now I'm done. Switched to the Nokia lumia 920 and that doesn't have any problem whatsoever. So much happier now. See ya apple.

Nissan responded to my complaint of incoming calls being dropped and they said Apple's 6.0.1 version was to fix the issue. It has NOT for the iphone 5. Wife's iphone 4 works with it. However, yesterday during some test calls I was able to get the incoming calls to not disconnect. Do not know why it has worked three times. But hasn't worked since those three times. This is an added comment from my Nov 15th resply.

I have the same problems with my Murano and iPhone 5 😟

Looks like a CLASS ACTION Is coming!!

I have a 2008 Altima Coupe and an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1 with 64GB. Calls work both incoming and outgoing without any drops. That was true with this car and the iPhone 3Gs I had previously as well, with each version of Apple iOS from the day the 3Gs was newly released.

Someone in this thread mentioned that shutting down all apps running in the background on the iPhone made a difference, so that might be worth checking.

Recently I changed the name of my iPhone from a 2 word name to a one word one, ie "my iPhone" to "myiphone". This seemed to solve the connection issues I was having w my 2007 Altima. Still, no ringing on incoming calls though.

Updated to iPhone 5, and STILL no ringing on incoming calls.

SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE!!

THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT NISSAN AND APPLE BLUETOOTH THAT CAN REALLY HELP US.

ARE YOU EVEN LISTING APPLE AND NISSAN, WHERE IS YOUR HELP SUPPORT ??

WE AS CONSUMERS THAT PAYED FOR A PRODUCT THAT IS NOT WORKING ??

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT???

IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW!!

OR THE "I HATE MY IPHONE AND MY NISSAN" WILL GROW BIGGER AND WE ALL LOSE FAITH ON THESE TWO COMPANIES PRODUCTS!

TONY RANGEL.

Wow! Wow, wow, wow..... As I previously stated earlier in this thread I have a 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe and an iPhone 4S running iOS 5, I could get my phone to work if once starting the car and letting it initially connect I "reset" the connection (either by putting the phone into airplane mode and then back out, re-establishing the bluetooth connection or directly turing on/off the bluetooth on my phone again to re-establish the connection)

However I saw ParticleMan's post about changing the phone name, intially my phone name was in the form "My name's phone" now it's like "mynamephone" and now it has successfully connected and worked on the first try 5/5 times and counting. All other functionality also works (ringing, answering/hanging up)

Thanks so much for your post!! I can't beileve something so simple (and stupid, I'm looking at you Nissan/Apple/Bluetooth SIG....) might have fixed the problem but it sure is nice to actually have some working technology again! Don't know if this will work for anyone else if they have the same issues but it's definitely worth a try since it's so easy to change the name.
