Reminders do not alert when leaving the car

When I set a reminder to remind me say when I get out of my car they never work. Well they sometimes work. Or getting in the car. Or arriving at a location like Home. It works about 1% of the time. Anyone else with this issue? I do listen to music through my phone and bluetooth car system. Of course I've tried it without that.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.2

Yes, the geo fence I find unpredictable. Needs to be improved upon.

Hi Brogers28!


I've noticed, in the Reminders App car-location-based Reminders (Getting in the car/Getting out of the car) are working with some bluetooth car receivers, that aren't CarPlay capable. (iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5 and now iOS 10.0)


With my old car receiver Sony MEX BT 3700 U (in Germany, since 2009) it worked!


Sadly with my new car receiver Kenwood KDC BT 45 U (2015) it doesn't work! :-(


Maybe with some special kind of Bluetooth connection it works and with some the iPhone doesn't recognice the Receiver as a "car".


Greetings from germany
