iPhone 5 Bluetooth issues with car

My iPhone 5 is having issues with Bluetooth and my car. It pairs with no problem and I can make calls with no problem. If my phone rings and I try to answer it with the car Bluetooth controls the call picks up then immediately goes back to listening to the radio... But the call is still connected and the phone thinks its still connected to "my car". So I need to quickly pick up the handset and switch the source to phone or the other person will hang up. If it helps the car is a 2010 Infiniti. Any ideas? I already tried re-pairing it. I also tried resetting the network settings.


Thanks in advance

iPhone 5, iOS 6

I just got off the phone with Nissan Canada. The patch will be delayed in Canada and I was told to stay in touch with my Nissan dealership for further notice. The represetative also said that Apple is working on a fix. I can only assume Apple is not working on this fix in isolation. I for one am glad that Nissan acted proactively in finding a fix. It makes no difference who is at fault, only that the issue gets fixed for the majority of users.

I have a Infiniti 2012 G37 XS with Nav, got mine loaded with the update today & it seems to have fixed incoming call problem!!

One thing I would suggest is to make sure you dont have a route programmed on the nav when they load the CD. It made my nav freak out when I tried to cancel the route or add a new one, it was freezing the entire system. Finally after 15 minutes it cancelled, then everything worked normally after that.

Does Bluetooth streaming work better now? Some times the meta data (Song Title, Artist Name, Album Name) won't display or won't update.


What about reading text messages received via iPhone 5. I could never get it to work.


I hope starting a call via the iPhone won't switch the head unit back to music after the call is placed. Thats my main pet peeve with the current functionality with my 2013 Altima SV.
