bluetooth music issues after iOS6 update

I feel your pain. I have an hour commute each direction and I bought a car setup that would integrate my iphone well (Pioneer). iOS 6 breaks it. I think if Apple acknowledged that there was a bug and we knew that a fix was on the way, that we would be satisfied with that. This is a pretty big bug if it isn't the case that the car audio manufacuters aren't following the standard correctly. Here's hoping for a 6.0.1 soon.

I agree.

However, for me, I frankly don't care about the who's at fault. I know that my iphone 4, and my iphone 4s on iOS5 worked flawlessly with all of my devices.

Now my 4, 4s, and my 5 simply do not work

So the ball is in apple's court. If they release a hotfix, they continue to get my business. If they don't, my phone is going back.

Even if this isn't apple's fault (which is clearly appears to be) I do not want to repurchase $4500 worth of product to continue to use apple's products.

****, I have four of these:

That's $1,000 in unusable merchandise right now.

I guess if so many people are passing the buck on who's fault it is that apple has changed their iOS and now stuff doesn't work. I guess if I get my ford truck reprogrammed by ford and it doesn't want to start, I guess that I COULD blame Goodyear for it!!!!!?

2+2=5.

Logical isn't it. Stop blaming the people who didn't change

Brand new Kenwood DNX6990HD.. Can't use it with iPhone 5. No AVRCP. No firmware updates from Kenwood. *** Apple. You suck!! Guess i'll have to go give samsung some money for their products. Bye bye apple. I knew this would happen once Jobs was gone. Its true.. History repeats itself.

I'm also having bluetooth problems after I updated my iPhone 4S. However I'm experiencing this problem with all types of bluetooth devices whenever i stream music. I have motorola bluetooth headphones, a logitech bluetooth bridge, bluetooth music system, you name it. All have the same problem. Once I start streaming the music every 1 -2 minutes the sound cuts off for a second or two and then comes back. I hope this gets fixed soon.

Thanks for the info chemoking. I called Alpine "customer service" 2 days ago and they were not helpful. Hopefully when this firmware update is released it will restore full function to my CDE-W235BT.

Just got off the phone with the Alpine Tech Dept i was told to look for a firmware update in the next 3-4 weeks.

Ihope that helps out.

Which, once again, Alpine wouldn't bother to do if it were Apple's bug.

Have not contacted vw. But this interface is made for iPhone. It was working two days ago, no issues, now I download the new iOS and it stops working. It's pretty easy to see who the culprit is. Especially since everyone else in this thread is having the same issue, iOS 6 downloaded, loss of Bluetooth media functions.

I just got off the phone with a technical supervisor at apple who told me that he's sure someone from the manufacturer will come up with something soon and that I could not restore my phone to the previous operating system and that (even though it doesnt work on my stereo anymore) its still the best phone out there so thats just the way it is.

I will never buy another APPLE product EVER!!!!!! AMAZING!

These guys have gotten too big for their own good... the same cult movement that made them who they are, needs to put them in their place... I intend to spend as much energy as possible being an anti-apple evangelist... I will spend at least twice as much energy as when I was a loyal supporter!

Theyve been screwing up for quite some time now... Apple.. You finally earned my disgust!!!!

Stupid Apple. Have no idea what they are talking about. They really think they have taken over the market such that they expect everyone else to change for them.

They better be reading all the posts here and better do something to fix this issue asap.

To Apple Solutions Architect,

The basics of software development is to provide the ability to roll back UNCONDITIONALLY. Perhaps you should start thinking about this.

@Matt_Ward: Tried it with my MacBook Air. Couldnt connect my iPhone 4, it says something like "non supported device". I have never tried before to connect my phone with my laptop, so i cannot tell whether it worked with iOS 5 or not. May I ask for what reason you are connection your iPhone with your Mac?

@Matt_Ward: that is some very helpful and new information! I will certainly try to connect my iPhone5 to my MacBook Air tonight.

If that doesn't work, then is it CERTAINLY Apple's problem! And I will most certainly be giving them a call.

So it looks like the only thing you can do with bluetooth from the iPhone to a macbook is to share your cellular data connection.

Can anybody confirm whether or not they can do this on iOS 6? I don't have a plan that will allow me to share my cellular data connection, otherwise I would try it myself.

You can still turn your iphone into a wifi hotspot and connect the MBP to it. Have you tried pairing it to a Apple Macbook via Bluetooth? I was only trying to do this to establish what profiles are availible on the iphone as the Bluetooth manager tells you once you have paired it. Just shocked to find it wont pair and i was trying to find out if any on else experiences that. Looking at another thread it appears that someone discovered this problem with Ios6 beta 3 release.

Ok. Here's something which I found just then. My iphone 4S which I have upgraded with iOS 6 is pretty much useless when it comes to controling the music using car steering controls as others here have experienced.

However, to my surprise, my wife's iphone 4, which I upgraded with iOS 6 worked perfectly fine with steering controls. I was surprised, but ohh well, at least one of ours works.

I am not sure whether this issue is isolated to iphone 4S now. In any case, hope apple fixes the issues soon.
