My iphone 5 must be special. It works fine with my 2009 Acura. The bluetooth connects immediately when I turn the car on. The steering controls work, I can even change the song on Pandora. I have a aftermarket motorola Bluetooth device in my Miata with ver 1.1 profile and even that works great with my iphone 5. Bose Bluetooth speaker, no issue. I have 3 different brands of bluetooth earpieces and no issue with any of them. I wonder if there are just some faulty phones out there that just need exchanging?

This is possibly good news for Nissan owners who have an IPhone 5: I just called the Nissan customer support number to report the problem with incoming calls (where the audio is transfered to the IPhone 5 handset rather than going throught the Nissan's bluetooth connection) and the representative said that Nissan has developed a patch to the problem that will be available from Nissan dealers as early as next week. The patch is on a CD or DVD that the dealer will apply to the Nissan car. I spoke with 'Patrick' who actually works in the Nissan USA bluetooth technical group who confirmed this information about the availability of a fix.
