bluetooth music issues after iOS6 update

I just spent $80 on two Logitech Bluetooth adapters for my stereos. Now neither will connect. They pair for maybe a half second, then disconnect. I've tried all the self help stuff (ie: rebooting, reinstalling software, etc.) I hope this gets fixed because it is really putting me off of Apple at the moment, after owning every single iPhone that's been offered.

Here is the reply from Kenwood

Hi Mike,

Thank you for providing the details.

We have confirmed the same result in our office. However, our US office (with the same device) cannot which is odd.

We will continue to investigate and work towards a solution.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Francisco

Amongst the issues already discussed has anyone noticed that you can not obtain phone book information via bluetooth either. Also although i have no track info or ability to operate play/pause or skip tracks i can select to repeat and shuffle.

Well the fact that I am having the same issue has most I've extremely annoying. What's more annoying is the fact that on my friends old kenwood unit everything works how it should. iPhone 5 with a kenwood KDC-BT60U.

Me too.. 2011 General Motors vehicle in Australia.. worked fine yesterday, updated to IOS 6 today and now bluetooth not working at all.. C'mon you muppets.. R u seriously saying that in all you pre-release testing that you did'nt check to see what Bluetooth did...???!!!??? massively negligent...!

Can we please get a statement on when patch will be ready ?

Ok just disconnected and reconnected to my DEH-6400BT and i have call functions pick up, hang up and make calls but still no music control. As above how long till a patch or fix please this sort of thing makes it dangerous to use your iphone.

I have tried to downgrade to IOS 5.1.1 but everytime I do I get the 3194 error (meaning Apple is blocking it) any suggestions. I too can no longer use my Bluetooth in my Volkswagon!! GRRRRRR so frustrating that you can't downgrade.

Thank you for any help!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank apple's CSR team for being totally silent. It really helps all of us consumers! Pull your finger out & make a statement already! O'l Steve will punish you for eternity!!!

Tony, do you have the link to provide feedback via the website? When I try to do it the site keeps redirecting me to make a support call. My phone's coverage is expired so there's no way that I'm gonna pay $20 + tax to do it.

@ Lawrence Finch: Thanks for that info. I just read on some tech-website that they "introduced" BT 4.0 with iOS6, but good possibility that they were wrong. But, what does that mean now? That there shouldn't be any of this incompatibilities within iOS6? That BT is implemented incorrect?

I'm absolutely certain that Apple will not resolve it at all, let alone very soon. Assuming Apple decides that it really is a defect in iOS 6 (and I'm not convinced, because when there are bugs in a release there are tens of thousands of posts about it) it would not get in before the next point release, and that is months away, because with 700 million devices to be updated they test for months after any change to prevent introducing another bug as part of the fix.

I am also having the bluetooth control and meta tag issue. I just purchased this stereoa little over a week ago and just finished hooking up the reverse wire today completing the install, only to find out that the bluetooth function is gone. I have sent an email to pioneer, but as it is weekend, they are not open.

I have already been to the apple store 3 times with the 4s, and still need to go back. I think I will also stop into the apple store and see what they say about this.

Question, how many bugs are fixed on a weekend? Do you have a life other than ******** about problems that can't be fixed on a Saturday night? Apple is AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS! They are people too. Monday will come soon enough. Go get a beer, SEVERAL beers. They can and will fix all of the problems. IT JUST TAKES TIME!.

I was not thinking they would fix it in a weekend, I was saying I was waiting for and email back on what Pioneer is saying on this, what the issue is. I just purchased the car I installed this stereo in, the factory stereo was no good, I still need to get it tagged before it is a huge issue. I drive 1 hour each way for work, this is important to me, I want to listen to my own music, not a DJ talking half the time. Also, my Pioneer 4400bh has the usb port in the rear, I did not hook that up to the extension, I forgot (I was also to lazy to go back again), the one time I had to pull the stereo back out it took a while and almost smashed it (the bracket starts to bend and basically turns into a brake).

Hey answer123, stop towing the company line and get a real grip on this.. we aren’t talking about a charity where they release software for the good of humankind in their spare time.. we are talking about multi billion dollar company that has the means, resources and the corporate interest in making their latest and greatest product actually fit for purpose... Do you work for Apple ? or are you just a corporate sycophant.. get off this site unless you are going to add to the discussion.. take your own advice and go get a beer..
