Bluetooth won't connect after iOS 9.2.1

I have tried all of the above as all in my X3 to no avail. I will be trying the forget all network settings option to see if that works. Can anyone think of anything else. I do a lot of work phone calls on my commute and this will seriously impact my work day if I can't get it to work.

I hear you. Same issue, different car (2016 Toyota 4-Runner).

Additionally, iPad Air 2 will no longer connect with Belkin Ultimate keyboard.

Apple Chat guru: "It shows that your bluetooth is working properly. " and "I have not seen or heard of this issue with the update."

I suggested they Google "ios 9.2.1" and "bluetooth connect" and stand back.

What a mess.

Going to try to rollback to 9.2

Same issue in a 2015 Fiat 500e, a 2015 Z06, and intermittent in my 2011 BMW 335d. I was able to get it to connect in the BMW by forgetting and starting over, but now it won't work at all.

Me too ... **** ... iPad Air 2 will no longer connect with Belkin Ultimate keyboard. Seems nothing to do but sit back and wait for some kind up software update, right?
Thanks!

I have a similar issue with my Ford SYNC system. After updating to the iTunes specific build of 9.2.1, I can no longer play music via lightning connector or bluetooth for more than a few songs. The phone's playback freezes through the outbound sound, but the tracks still appear to be playing on my phone and I cannot get it back without resetting the phone.

iPhone 6S+, iOS 9.2.1

Once you update to 9.2. you can't downgrade back to the previous version, you have to wait for 9.3 update

I am having exact same issue with my Mini and my husband's BMW. Apple deny there is any issue which is so frustrating.

At first I thought this may be an issue w/ JUST Apple...now I'm leaning to this being an issue w/ my car's software.

I drive a 2015 BMW M4 and until 9.2.1 I never had an issue pairing and using Bluetooth w/ my Iphone 6 - I can no longer connect.

In the past few days I've tried every type potential fix found the web, to include registering and downloading the newest beta (not that doing that is end-all) but it did not fix issue either.

This morning I was able to connect to my wife's 2014 BMW X5 with no issue, but still cannot connect to mine. What gives?

I'd agree with it being the car, however, the update also killed my device's ability to connect to my Belkin Ultimate case/keyboard.

SO disgusted.

@pollyr You mentioned you were going to try and revert back to 9.2 - is that even possible? If so - mind sharing how to do?

I'm taking my to BMW in on Saturday - they're going to make sure my software is up-to-date. This is frustrating though as I'm very dependent on my Bluetooth and as crazy as this may sound to some, was a driving factor in my decision to buy a new car (versus keeping an older BMW w/ no connection).

I got mine to work at lunch today. I tried countless times to connect this weekend, all to no avail. Today at lunch I connected my phone via an Apple USB and now paired. Here's how all of this went down:

1. Last week updated my Iphone 6 to 9.2.1

2. Could no longer connect to Bluetooth in 2015 BMW M4

3. Tried every recommended fix that I could find - resetting network connections, removing devices, hard phone resets etc.

4. Patched Beta 9.3 - still did not work

5. This weekend then tried to pair using a knock off Apple Lightning cord (I use this as my regular charger) - no luck

6. Today I tried again, however, this time using a legit Apple USB and I am now paired.

7. Thank you pairing gods.

I don't know if anything that I've done over the past few days somehow set me up for today's pairing, but I DO know that I'm now paired to my M's bluetooth.

I have had limited success by turning off Bluetooth before starting my cars. Immediately after turning the key, I turn Bluetooth back on. I can get a connection that works and sometimes will reconnect after a brief stop. Still not work by properly, though.

@DHDCF Unfortunately, I was unable to go back.

Everything I've tried, including the turn off B/T before turning on the engine, etc. unfortunately, that won't work for my Belkin keyboard. I cannot believe that Apple still denies this is an issue.

Similar issue ..... updated and immediately lost bluetooth ability in Toyota 2015 Prado !!

Can you revert back to old operating system .???.... this is a real issue with mobile offices in cars.

I drive a 428 BMW (2014) and I've been having the same issues. The phone is listled as paired in both the car and the phone. However, in the media view

on the display it lists no Bluetooth devices as paired. Restarting the iPhone 6 seemed to solve the problem but then the music stops abruptly and the same proble persists. I called BMW genius. The rep recommend software update for my car but I informed her that i already had the latest update installed. I even made an appointment with my service center.

Then I found this forum and the culprit became apparent, as I didn't realize that my connectivity issues started immediately after I upgraded my phone to 9.2.1.

as rhetorical as this question may sound, whatever happened to quality control? These are MAIN features and people pay extra money for enhanced Bluetooth connectivity. Now I have NO connectivity and not even an acknowledgment from Apple that they screwed up.

When I look at this silly business, the entire CarPlay concept seems very dubious
