No Bluetooth phone after IOS 6.1.2 update

I processed the latest IOS update to 6.1.2, this morning I find my phone is no longer paired to stock BT radio in my 2011 Toyota. The audio device is paired so I can play the music however every attempt to pair my iPhone 4S fails. It's great I can play the music but what I really need is the hands-free phone capabilities I have had since purchasing this phone in October 2011 no other update ever caused an issue I paired once & never had an issue until this update. Is this a known issue and is a resolution coming?

For what it is worth, my 4S still worked with my 2012 Toyota, however would not deliver any song/artist info. The display just said, "streaming audio." This has been true since the 6.1.2 upgrade, however this afternoon for some reason it now works, displaying the info that it should. I didn't change any settings or re-pair....strange but true :-)

hey guys, was having the same issues with bluetooth after updating to 6.1.2 - not connecting/pairing to car. what you need to do is backup phone, do a fresh restore in DFU mode.( power and home buton method while connected to itunes. the screen should be black , no itunes displyayed) . That should do the trick. Good luck guys

After updating my iPad, my iPhone and my husband's new iPhone, none of my previously working Bluetooth devices are able to be discovered by our Apple devices. My son, who has a Galaxy, can see them fine with his phone. This is definitely an Apple issue. Do they not want us to be able you use blue tooth devices? Is there a way to install a different Bluetooth application! Does jail breaking the devices help?
