problems pairing iphone 5 and ipad 3 with bluetooth to use Keynote remote

I wanted to use (as I did before with my iphone 4s) my iphone 5 with keynote remote paired with my ipad3 via bluetooth.

It doesn't work.

My ipad 3 bluetooth is okay (it finds devices).

My iphone 5 bluetooth is not working at all (do not find any device).

I tried:

1) reseting network.

2) turn of and on iphone 5.

3) restore iphone 5 from a backup

Still not working

Can someone help me?

Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, bluetooth is not working at iphone5

Here's a fix from another discussion. It worked for me with 'PhotoShare' and when it works you don`t need it more. This fixes keynote remote. Hope apple solves keynote remote/blue tooth issue in future update.

1. Launch keynote on one device and the remote on the other as you normall would.

2. Find another app that bluetooth links ipad and iphone (I used 'pictransfer light'). Install on both devices and launch on both devices. Follow the promt to get a bluetooth sync.

3. Double push the home button both devices to pull up the multi-tasking and open keynote and keynote remote on the relevant devices.

4. In keynote, go to settings; advances; remote. You should now be able to get the remote to link (you may, on the device running the remote, need to hit settings and then 'new keynote link'.
