Iphone 6 + golf Bluetooth doesnt work
« on: 19 September 2014, 21:48 »
Hi. I just knew something would go wrong. I have a new iPhone 6 which I am able to connect to the car Bluetooth and sync contacts etc. one problem though the signal strength and carrier info does not seem to be transferring between the phone and head unit. Ie it says no signal all the time. I am able to start a call from the car but after a short time the Bluetooth disconnects with the message no network connection although the phone continues in the call, just not connected to the car. I guess the new iPhone uses differnt incompatible Bluetooth? I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 8 which is fine so can rule out the os. Help!

Can't help I'm afraid but my iPhone 6 works fine on EE.  Haven't tried to make any calls to be fair but the signal strength seems to display correctly.  I'll have a play tomorrow.

PS
The carrier details, EE, also displays.

I guess that rules out the car though as I assume the Bluetooth modules will be the same. Thanks

I hope it's not a major issue I will be picking up a new iPhone in a few weeks and I'd hate to lose the hands free kit.

Hi. I got it working after 3 hours. Reset and reinstalled ios and reset car Bluetooth completely it finally works. Phew!  A tip for anyone having problems with their iPhone is to remove as many iMessage numbers as possible from the device. Seems to cause Bluetooth problems.
