Problems with "Parked Car" Feature (iOS 10 Maps)

I upgraded to iOS 10 on my iPhone 5S yesterday. I cannot get the parked car feature of maps to work.


I have the following enabled:


-All Apple Maps Notification options

-Maps Location Services (While Using). "Always" is not available as an option.

-System Services: Frequent Locations

-System Services:Routing and Traffic

-System Services:Improve Maps


My phone connects via Bluetooth to my car's handsfree system. Is it not carplay.


What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

iPhone 5s, iOS 10

Speaking with apple, they advised that restoring iPhone as new is not advised as it would not make a difference.


It has been suggested that it has to do with the stereo in the vehicle and depending on age, IOS10 can't tell whether it is a Stereo or merely a headset, therefore it won't drop a pin on the map.


My stereo manufacturer is going to do a test and see if it is stereo firmware related or not.


I have reset my phone and paired to my car stereo and it still does not work, even though all the settings on the phone are correct.
