I installed iOS 7 on my iPhone 5 and now my Bluetooth does not work. It doesn't recognize ANY of my Bluetooth devices, including my car, iPad and iPod. Is anyone else having this problem? HELP!!!
iPhone 5, iOS 7
I had this exact same issue, then tried switching the bluetooth off and on again. Looks like that has resolved the issue! XD
OK, so just to reiterate what others have said:
1. Remove the multimedia devices from your phone (Settings-Bluetooth-(your device)-i-Forget this Device
2. Do a hard reset on the phone -push both buttons until the phone shuts down; then wait patiently for it to restart
3. Go to your car and remove the Bluetooth pairing for your phone
4. Turn off the car and wait 30 seconds
5. Turn on the vehicle and re-pair your devices.
After trying a number of different combinations, this finally worked. Good luck.

Didn't work :-(
I can't remove any devices because it isn't recognizing any. It just searches for devices. I did the reset a hundred times with no luck. Ughhhhhhh!!!!
I'm having that exact same issue. I've tried all of that stuff too. No luck! I hope someone comes up with a solution soon.
After several trips to the Apple store and a replacement phone , I was told that my iPhone is more hi-tech than my car. They said I need to update the firmware in my car. I don't know whether all of this is true or not but I give up lol.
Hoping this helps someone. I had the same problem and followed all of the reset steps above. It was unsuccessful because my vehicle would never "give" me a four digit pass code.....so I just made one up and punched it in. Once I did that, my vehicle finally generated a real pass code that I was able to enter and then successfully pair my phone. Who knows why?!?!
Why isn't my Bluetooth working?
