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

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.

This is a very common problem. Apple's tech support is not helpful. None of the procedures that they offer resolve the issue. Apple, you need to fix this bug. Hoping that someone from Apple would respond.

Only the iPhone 6 (with iOS 10) or up has that feature.

And, I think, the Bluetooth device must be "MYCAR". I'm not sure but my tests indicated that!!!!

No. My Bluetooth device is uConnect 8.4

Dunno.

Perhaps the Bluetooth profile for hands free device (car system can be used for calls) is what identifies it as a car.

Do these other cars have hands free calling with the iPhone?

Or is it simply Bluetooth playing to the audio system?

i lost the 'parked car' functionality with the migration from iPhone6 to iPhone7: i resetted and re-paired the new phone several times to my MyGig (uConnect).. no "parked car" anymore =(

Why cant i decide in options, which of the paired bluetooth devices is my car to be remembered?

In the Apple example.... the device name "My Car". Coincidence?!!

How to find your parked car with Maps on your iPhone - Apple Support

I have the same problem with an iPhone 6. Try General > Reset> All Settings, then re-pair your phone to your car, and see if it works now.

It didn't fix mine, but this is what Apple has recommended.

I've got the same problem with my iPhone 5S. My wife uses an iPhone 6S and it works fine without doing anything differently as we does. Maybe it's a problem with the iPhone 5S.

Having same problem with my 5s as well. Using a Uconnect system in car via bluetooth. I've even gone in and selected that bluetooth device and selected "show notifications". Still nothing. I've tried deleting phone and re-pairing it. No luck.

I've watched on the bluetooth screen as I enter the car and it connects and I've watched the screen as I leave the car and it disconnects. Still no notification or parked car destination in maps. I do have "show parked location" checked in maps settings, as well as having all location services, frequent destinations, etc. turned on as well.

Settings-->Privacy-->Location Services-->System Services-->Frequent Locations - (turn it on)

I read on another site this is how you fix it and it worked for me and literally just tested it (iPhone 6S Plus)

make sure its available on the iPhone 5S because looking by what settings you have, it should work, cause I have a 6S Plus and I was trying to figure this issue out and I fixed all those settings and it finally worked for me....when you go back to maps make sure if it asks you to improve maps blah blah blah choose yes, I don't remember exactly what it said but I picked yes lol...

Settings-->Privacy-->Location Services-->System Services-->Frequent Locations

^^^^that's all I read on another site and it fixed the issue for me

I do have all these things turned on, and still not working. I wonder if it is a problem with the 5s based on some of the other comments. One thing I did find that was wrong, under Settings/Privacy/Location Services there is a setting called "share my location". When I went into this menu, I did have "share my location" turned on, however, where it asks "From", I had an old phone selected. I changed it to my current phone "this device", and hopefully that will make a difference. I'll know the next time I park my car.

I own an iPhone 5s. Feature doesn't work but if you say to say "remember I parked here" feature seems to work

HI there,

i ve got the 5se. I also turned on all the above mentioned options.

just tried it with no success

Does maps have to run to be able to mark the position? ( when intried it i didn't have maps running)

isnt there any documentation from apple, what we have to do to make that work?
