My iPhone 5c keeps losing pairing with my new Nissan Juke. I have tried deleting if from the car and the phone and repairing. It works for a couple of days then it comes up with pairing failed on the car screen. I then have to go through the whole process again to get it to work. Can anyone help?
iPhone 5c, iOS 9.3.1

If I understand correctly, there's an issue with your iPhone 5c not connecting to your car stereo after using it for a few days. The article linked below provides a lot of great information and some general troubleshooting tips that may be able to help you resolve this issue.

twice to turn Bluetooth off and back on.
- Restart your iOS device.
- On your iOS device, unpair your car stereo. On your car's display, unpair your iOS device and any other devices. Restart your car and your iOS device, then pair and connect again.

HI Jason,
thanks for your post. I have to admit I have tried most of what you have suggested. The real mystery is why everything is ok for several days and then for no apparent reason it comes up with 'Pairing Failed' and the only way to get the phone to pair with the car is to delete it from both the car and the phone and start from the beginning pairing the device. Then it works again for several days. cheers Kevinplod
