How do I turn off my bluetooth audio on my iPhone 5

Hello, dpg1960.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

I would need clarification on what you mean by disable Bluetooth audio to provide a better answer. However, if you wish to disable Bluetooth you can go to Settings > Bluetooth > Turn Off.

iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories

I have also included some additional information regarding Bluetooth and the supported profiles.

iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

Hey David,

Thanks for the follow up information and this is definitely a unique issue. Since this is related to USB, try different cables and restarting all devices. I would also suggest reaching out to BMW and see if there are any upgrades to the firmware.

Let me know if this issue persists after going through these steps.

I have the same issue as have lots of other people and Apple need to allow for audio streaming via Bluetooth (A2DP) to be disabled independent of Bluetooth cellular connection. I have a Citroen with built in Bluetooth audio and when I connect my iPhone to it the phones audio also streams over Bluetooth (incl. TomTom sat-nav). I can disable this audio streaming in the car Bluetooth profile configuration, but its a 5 step process and it doesn't save, so every time I start the car the configuration is lost :-(

I want to listen to my car audio, have calls on its Bluetooth connection, but have my TomTom sat-nav audio come out the iPhone at the same time. Being able to disable A2DP audio streaming via Bluetooth on the iPhone would make this easy and permanent.

Also check my post earlier this year titled "Disable A2DP in Bluetooth device profiles".

Are you using CarPlay ?

No, my 2014 Citroen C4 Picasso has their touch displays with Multicity connect.
