bluetooth problem - iPhone 6s, os9, BMW

I just wondered has anyone else had issues connecting an iPhone 6s with os9 to a BMW? Or any car?

My previous 5s also running os9 worked fine.

I'm going into the bluetooth menu on the car, setting it to add device. Opening bluetooth on my phone to add a new device, I see the car and select. But it's then not receiving the passcode to enter into the car..... It's getting frustrating as I use the phone alot!

I've updated the car software, and running the latest 9.0.2.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.0.2

Update:

First the conntection is lost after 3 - 5 minutes after start of the BMW 520d. The iphone 6S needs up to 2 min to start the next connection. After 2 seconds this next connection is lost. Now after 1 minute comes the next connection. Once again after 2 seconds this new connection ends but now with a high frequent noise and switches the BMW professional radio into radio mode. Switch back to external devices connection via bluetooth the last and now stable connection will be created. This lasts for the rest of the drive. After nearly 3h the whole thing starts from scratch ... :-(

I have exactly this problem. My iPhone 6s+ can't even see my BMW bluetooth signal.

Well, here is the solution, which worked for my problem. But this solution has been identified by me but by the son of a man who has had the same problem. Go under settings/general/"useaid" (Sorry, I do not know the english menu item cause I have a german menu item called "Bedienungshilfen", sorry)/ "audiocall output" (german menu item called Anrufaudioausgabe) ... change that menu item from automatic to Bluetooth-Headset ... and all in my world is just pretty good. So I hope this will work for all of you and thank not me but the son of the man I talked about.
