Just tried to pair my new iPhone5 with a Cadillac CTS 2009 bluetooth. It wouldn't pair, even though my iPhone4S did. Cadillac says it's an apple problem. Has anyone else had this problem?
iPhone 5, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Delete the pairings in the car for the old phone.
Delete any pairings on the device for the car, if they exist.
Reset or restart the device.
Try pairing again.
Does it work? If not, what specifically is happening.
Maybe walk us through step by step what is occurring so we can see where the process is failing.
Hi. I have a 2012 CTS and and iPhone 5. I had the same issue until a few minutes ago. Since I got the iPhone 5, my CTS acted like its bluetooth was disabled. My new iPhone 5 kept "searching" and never would acknowledge the Bluetooth connection in my car (as if it was indeed turned off or disabled).
I wasn't aware of diesel vdub's post until after figuring out the issue myself. However, he is correct.
(Check your owner's manual for detailed instructions.) I had to delete my old iPhone 4's pairing through my CTS's Handsfree system then pair my car with the new iPhone 5. Once I deleted the old iPhone, my new iPhone 5 started picking up the Bluetooth connection in my CTS. It only takes a few seconds to do. I'm SO happy! I've been fretting over the issue since I got my iPhone 5 a couple weeks ago. Up to this point, I thought that the issue was with the iOS 6. Apparently, it isn't.
can't pair iPhone 5 to Cadillac CTS 2009
