iOS 12 Bluetooth Uconnect issue

I updated my iPhone 7 to iOS 12, and immediately noticed that there is now a significant lag in song selection when connected to bluetooth in my car's Uconnect head unit. When a new song plays, the song run time is frozen for exactly 30 seconds while the song plays. If I try to toggle next/last track selection using the car's audio controls during this time, nothing happens until the 30 seconds pass, then it changes to the next song. It happens very consistently now with every new song that plays. Also, during some songs it'll do this freeze for 30 seconds where song navigation won't trigger.

Can't overstate how annoying this is. Has anyone else experienced this?

iPhone 7, iOS 12, '16 Charger Uconnect NAV head unit.

Yes, this is still a problem on 12.3. I don't understand what's taking so long to get this fixed. I'm not even sure they're working on it anymore.

It’s a joke, never would have switched back from android if I knew the apple support was so bad, I don’t understand why there is no fix for this issue, definitely just going to go back to Android.

Yes my IPhone XS Max is a laggy pile of crap on uconnect.

Thanks for the update. There's another person here who does the Betas, hope it's the same for them. Are you able to test bluetooth on your music library (ie not Apple Music or any streaming app?)

I run the public betas, and so far only a dev beta of iOS 13 is out. The public beta should be coming in a few weeks, and I'm really looking forward to testing it out.

I seems to be better in the iOS 13 Developer Beta but was problematic occasionally with the Public Beta. You’d think Apple would fix the problem since it’s clearly not a Uconnect issue.

Thanks guys. Fingers crossed and hoping. Checking my first post, it's been going on the entirety of iOS12, for 10+ months now.

For me it's been going on since the 3rd or 4th beta of iOS 12, so roughly a year. I'm seriously ready for this to be fixed.

Jul 10, 2019 9:42 PM in response to JoMo45

Yeah, it's a little ridiculous that it hasn't been fixed in one of the iOS 12 updates. Clearly they are aware of it since it's not a problem so far is iOS 13.
