IPhone 5 Bluetooth DOES NOT WORK! :sad:
« on: 23 October 2012, 08:29 »
I Have recently got the IPhone 5 and i have tried to connect it with my In car Bluetooth but no joy!

i have spoke to my local Volksawgen and they have informed me that they have not as yet got a software update, as Apple change their software so often its hard for Volkswagen to keep up (Fair Enough) but still i need my hands free to work!! loudspeaker is not cutting it!

will let you guys no of any update?

My iphone5 works OK in my GTD with the RNS510.

It even works with the adapter (£30).

Thinking about it, my 4s decided it was going to stop working with my bluetooth a little while back after trying to connect it to a friends Polo, i ended up doing a restore on the phone and it sorted it, might be worth a try? Tbh the mic seems a bit hit and miss on mine at times.

Mine works perfectly Bluetooth and adapter.  Try starting again e.g. Make sure the Bluetooth on the phone is switch off.  Then delete the profiles on the car....then re-add it by turning it on the phone and getting the car to search for it...
