Bluetooth Connection Issues ios 10

We are now 3 months on and still no fix. I have this problem on my Audi A8, colleagues have problems on BMW, Ford, Mercedes and Honda all since iOS 10. I even went back to 9.x to get it to work and it did. However after relentless badgering from the upgrade system I am back on 10 and it does not work. I employee 50 people and we have iPhones and MacBooks and not being able to pair phone with the car is a showstopper. . We have contacted Apple and I even went to the shop and after being told to rebuild my phone and even visit my Audi dealer the implication was a hardware issue. None of the rebuilds or workarounds fix it. In my case it stays connected for 150 seconds and the disconnects. Reconnect manually and 150 second later we are off again. We were due to upgrade to 7s in 2017 although many of my staff are resistant. I have been trialling Google Pixel which works well and unless this is fixed very soon I think we will go for that instead. If we ditch the phone in the next IT refresh the MacBooks go too. Apple does not see to care that people actually need the core features to work. Very disappointed.

To clarify, I have two Mercedes (2014 and 2015) and I have no issues with Bluetooth connectivity with iOS 10.

The only issue I have is that text messages no longer appear on the car's screen. Everything else works perfectly.

You are lucky. It seems there are a variety of problems many of which make it unsafe to use the iphone with Bluetooth in the car. In my case it is just does not work. My IT manager has spent weeks troubleshooting his and even tried an iPhone 7 with his 1 year old BMW and while it connects it still causes all sorts of issues making it unusable. None of this is a problem with phones running iOS 9. But we are not officially allowed to go back to 9 and the lack of response from Apple is unacceptable. There is a BlueTooth problem in 10 that is not in 9 and nothing has been done about it in 3 months and Apple representatives will pass the buck endlessly despite owning the hardware and software platform. In the final analysis this is costing my business way more than the price of a Google Pixel handset for everyone which is frankly every bit as good as if not better than an iPhone 7 (once you get passed the lack of familiarity). I am just irritated that we have to upgrade early to get a working solution and just wanted to rant.

I agree with you: it's totally unacceptable that Apple has not addressed these issues. Especially as they are apparently aspiring to "own" the self-driving vehicle software interface.

Even the text messages no longer displaying in the car is a dangerous situation. It worked with iOS 9.

I agree it's totally unacceptable thatvthis doesn't work properly, but one does need to take care when driving. If you think it's dangerous, don't use it!!

Sent a tweet if this discussion board to cnet, macrumors, Apple &a Apple support. You all should do the same. We shouldn't have to be ignored when BT does NOT work in car systems ever since iOS 10 and iPhone 7.

I have Iphone 6s. Problem free bluetooth in my Infinity FX35 with droid. Switch to Iphone and now I can't hear anyone that calls me, although I can call out. If I try to use the talk text feature for messaging while the bluetooth is on, it connects my phone to my car, and the talk text won't work. Very frustrating.

I went to Apple Store to ask this issue because I also have same issue with my 2015 Audi Q3.

They said this is not iPhone 's issue. Your car is something wrong. How can he say like that?

Upgraded to 10.2.1 yesterday. Issue is still there.

I don't think Apple is ever going to fix this. Planning to downgrade to 9.3.5 using Dr. Fone or switch to a different manufacture.

Same problem here since upgarding to iOS 10. :-( Really frustrating. @Apple: Please solve our problems asap!

do you have a weak wifi signal sometimes? compering to any other Iphone!

We hope upcoming iOS 10.3 will have the fix for this issue.

The defect I raised on this issue was marked "fixed" by development team.

Try a different car radio maybe it's the car or you could try taking it to the Genius Bar it could be a faulty part inside you r device.

Thanks for raising the defect...

Well, posting in this thread is not just less than helpful, it is totally wasted time.
