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

This makes no sense.

  • Parked car updates used to work for me with this car and this iPhone. The car is 6 months old.
  • parked car updates no longer work now with this same car and iPhone.
  • work and home commute estimates still fire every time, when I get in the car I am given this info
  • I had my car in for maintenance and received the same car (different color - LOL) as a loaner yesterday. I paired BT for the day and it gave me parked car updates.
  • Got back in my car and ... nope
  • deleted my BT and reconnected and no change.

I Believe it has to do something with frequent locations...after upgrading to iOS 10 frequent locations seems to stop working. Since 4 weeks it doesn't write any locations even when all options are on and purple arrow indicates that it works. No new locations appear since updati to iOS 10. That's why maybe parked car is not working.

Doesn't it work with an IPhone 5s? I've tried everything and "Parked car feature" never worked for me...


I've a new car (Seat León - VW group) and I've followed a lot of forums and tried everything, delete Bluetooth car profile, re-pair my phone and car, obviously i have location active, frequent locations, allow maps notification, everything what I have read in other forums...


My girlfriend has the same car than me, however she has an IPhone SE, and the parked car feature works with no issue in her car... it's very strange.


sorry for my english

My iPhone 6 and my wife's 7+ worked at the very beginning of iOS 10. I have aftermarket Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS and my wife has a 2015 BMW. Then it stopped working for both. My in-laws has the same BMW and her's work. I have not checked her iOS version yet, ours is the latest iOS, they don't always update their phone/apps. My Bluetooth pairs every time and automatically plays whatever media app was running last. I'm puzzled. Today I launched the maps program just in case it has to be running in the background to work.
