Not able to play music via Stereo Bluetooth on Iphone 4S

I have a 2010 Acura MDX (Tech Ent). I used to be able to easily play music from my iphone 3Gs and Iphone 4. I am however not able to play music from my just acquired 4S. Note that I have no problem making phone calls via bluetooth (Acura Hands Freelink) , When I try to play music via Bluetooth, the Handsfreelink says " NO CONNECT" - although it shows my Iphone 4S connected in the phone menu. My phone plays music via its internal speakers, and there is no option to switch audio output to another device. Could it be because Iphone 4S has BT 4.0? According to Apple BT4.0 is backward compatible, which means it should work with my Acuras BT2.0.

Try removing all phones from the in-car system, then re-pair your 4S with it. If there are multiple phones paired with the system, the one you want to use for audio streaming via A2DP MUST be the FIRST device to connect to it.

Thanks so much for the quick response. I deleted my wifes Android and my BB which were also paired to the car, and re-paired just the 4S. I am still facing the same issue - NO CONNECT when I try to stream the music via BT, but no issues with phone conversations.

I tried again today after the 5.1 upgrade and the AD2P streaming works great on my car! Not sure if it was removal or re-pairing or the 5.1 upgrade, but I am glad this is resolved. Thanks again.
