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 restore from iTune. All setting, try set up as new, try restore from back up you name it. It's just junk. iPhone 7 plus unlock version.

looks to me Apple is having another Bluetooth issue just like the one when iPhone 6 first came out. I remember when the 6 came out they had a huge issue with bluetooth not connecting to the car or other devices. They finally fix the problem after 3-4 month.

Couple of things... have a IP7+ and I never get the lock/home screen notification when I park and shut off the BT connection. Also when I click the search field in Maps I have to click the Transportation icon to see the Parked screen. Running 10.2 here.

I do not believe this feature is supported on the 5S.

Hi, if you have done all those steps, chances are your car is linked anyway, but just does not show up. I found that i lost my connection as well when i upgraded.

However, in Apple maps, your car does not show up. Most likely your home address shows up. Just click the little x to get rid of it and where the search bar is, just scroll up to see the location of your car.

IT works on my wife's phone iP 7+ but not all the time. It does not work at home, but when we are away, it does. We look on the notifications screen's destination. We added destinations to the notification screen. You have to turn the frequent locations and the other settings above. I dont want all those things on my iP 6, it kills my battery life. I got it to work a couple of times but like i said, I turned off frequent locations, etc. I usually don't experiment with it away from home, so I didn't know it does not work at my house. I check couple a days ago, it showed nothing, but it worked today on the iP 7+ when we were out.
