Hi elkaybie,


If you are having issues with your car audio controls after updating to iOS7, you may find the following article helpful:

There are some other discussions on loss of lock screen and control center music controls.

I believe it is the same issue, which would indicate that it is an issue with the phone, nothing to do with the car/stereo/speakers/etc.


When I lose Bluetooth control I also lose lock screen (and control center) controls. Other controls work, but no play, pause, skip forward/back, and of course no song resume on reconnection. A hard phone reset or power cycle fixes it every time, I never have to mess with the car. However, the issue re-occurs about every 2-4 days and I have to reset the phone again to get control back. Does everyone else lose lock screen control at the same time as BT?


It may be a hardware issue. I have a 4S. What phone models are exibiting the BT issue?
