After using my iPhone 5 successfully paired with my 2005 Acura MDX for over a year, upgrading my IOS to 7 caused by phone to stop pairing with my vehicle. I've seen numerous other posts on the internet about IOS upgrades causing bluetooth to stop working.
When is Apple going to fix this problem? My state just made it illegal to drive without handsfree, what is Apple's advice, buy a new car?
PLEASE FIX THIS.

Thanks for the reply, but this does not help. All I know is that my Iphone 5 used to pair just fine with my Acura and at some point with the various IOS updates it stopped working. So apple broke what was working software. It does not look like I can update my car bluetooth FW, at least no one knows how to do it.
So essentailly Apples reccomendation is for me to get a car that support their phone instead of them maintaining SW that worked in the past. Nice solution. Android here I come...
IPhone 5 with IOS 7.0.4 will not pair with my Acura MDX 2005
