While it doesn't specifically mention the iPhone 5, it has been updated with regards to iOS 6.0.

It does... I saw a photo of the relevant slide that was put up during the iOS 6 announcement, but am too lazy to look for it now.
It's possible it may not have made it into the final release. Apple never made any statements about it as far as I know beyond the slide referenced.
"
Near the end of the iOS portion of the keynote, Apple showed a slide listing a host of other features included in the iOS 6 update. Among those were Game Center challenges, the ability to connect Game Center friends from Facebook, VoiceOver improvements, personal dictionary in iCloud (for adding your own terms to the dictionary, which can sync between devices), and per-account signatures in Mail. Also on the list was improved privacy, which—as a new option in Settings—will let you control which apps can access which bits of personal data, like your Contacts, Calendar, or Photos. Other features on the list included autocorrection for every keyboard,Bluetooth MAP support (which is commonly used to help cars better offer hands-free communication with Bluetooth devices), kernel ASLR (which aims to make data even more impervious to snooping from malicious attackers), custom vibrations for alerts, redesigned stores (for the App and iTunes stores), IPv6 support for Wi-Fi and LTE, word highlights for speak selection, improved keyboard layouts, alarms with songs, and faster JavaScript in Safari. Apple also says iOS 6 includes a global HTTP proxy option, which would supplant the current approach, limited as it is to per-connection proxy settings."

In the car, Office in BT is checked on and on iphone 5 view on lock screen is turned on. But I am not getting any displayed in the car. I didn't have any problems with iPhone 4S and iOS6. Appreciate your help.

After updating my iphone 4S to 6.0 it's still not working. Any one else figure this out or is this feature not working on this IOS yet? The phone's bluetooth has no problem pairing with the car but the "text message" set up is grayed out.

Sep 25, 2012 6:56 PMby Ricky Rodriguez1,OK, I figured out how to use the bluetooth MAP function. I have a new 2012 Honda CRV and an Iphone 4S that I just updated to IOS 6. The Honda CR-V uses the SMS fuction when connected to your phone like a lot of vehicles do. Here's how I got it to work and it may be the same with other vehicles.
1. Pair your phone with the vehicle using the proper steps for individual vehicle.
2. After you see the device in the Iphone's bluetooth connections, there will be a button off to the right, tap that and it will open up settings for the device/vehicle.
3. Turn on "Show Notifications"
4. Go back to home screen and turn phone off then turn it back on.
5. While your vehicle is still on and your phone completely boots up they should connect automatically and the text messages should start coming through your vehicle as long as it's turned on in the vehicle settings. Thank you Apple for finally adding that feature.
