MY iPhone 7 will not connect via Bluetooth to my car so that I can use the phone hands free when my iPhone 5 does
iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2, null
The Bluetooth could be outdated in your car, which would explain why an iPhone 5 still works.
Can you test the Bluetooth on your iPhone 7 with something else, such as headphones or speakers?
The car is one year old a Peugeot 308 GT line, I have tested the Bluetooth by connecting to my iPads Bluetooth key board which it did OK.
thank you for your reply very nice of you to take the trouble many thanks.
Perhaps you can only have one iPhone paired at a time?
My wife has a 2014 Corolla, and I have a 2013 Civic and both only allow one device to be paired at a time. It saves the information for multiple iPhones, but can only connect to one at a time. Make sure your iPhone 5 isn't still connecting.
Just throwing out ideas
Thank you that is possible I will delete the iPhone 5 in the car tomorrow, bit late now lol, then try to connect the iPhone 7, I'll let you know what happens many thanks for your advice.
Hi Pmintz25
With your help we've cracked it, I took the car down the road well away from the mobile and told it to search for Bluetooth connections, none found, then went back home and changed the name of the iPhone 7 from Michael's iPhone to Mike's iPhone the car then recognised the Bluetooth and connected with each other ok.
THank you for your help in pointing me in the right direction, your a gentleman for taking the time and trouble to help.
Best wishes to you and your wife Mike xxxxx
Not the fix I was expecting but a fix nonetheless!
The end result is what we wanted which is the main thing
My iPhone 7 will not connect to the Bluetooth in my car when the iPhone 5 does
