iPhone 5s rSAP

I have just got an iPhone 5s and whilst it’s wonderfully advanced in the features it offers, unbelievably in having it I am taking an enormous step backwards. My car (an Audi & a Bentley) require remote Sim Access Profile (rSMS) in order for the in-car phone and in-car navigation system to connect to my Sim card. In fact virtually all upmarket brands use this profile to connect. Is Apple going to provide an update to resolve this major flaw in its otherwise remarkably advanced device?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.2

Nobody in the forums would know that.

You'll have to ask Apple directly via feedback.

OK, I have done this. Meanwhile, does anyone know of a workaround for this?

Hi BLH User. I was wondering if you got anywhere with this. I have an A7 and recently changed phone from Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which supports RSAP. The only answer I've come up with so far is to remove the Nanosim and plug it into the car using an adapter - I was given one of these free by Three. I've asked various people about the possibility go getting hold of a duplicate/copy sim, but no joy. Another option would be to buy a second Three sim with unlimited data at £12.90 per month and then to divert my incoming calls to that number when I'm driving.

Hi BLH,

While facing the same issue, I understood from surfing various topics that rSAP protocol is orginally from Nokia. The functionality is locked by iOS therefore no way to have that fixed soon. I do not want a jailbreak for my iPhone and I just flip my nano SIM card when I start a long trip with my A6.

It is a collateral damage of the patent war ;-)
