It's a beta OS... not everything will always work correctly...

No kidding unless you are testing APPS that rely on that ability. This version appears very un polished at the moment. #dissapointed

It's a Beta I am having bluetooth issues as well on a CDMA phone. I am sure it will be fixed in the next release or 2.

See if there's any way at all to do a firmware update to the Pioneer device - and if so, do it.

installed ios7 yesterday. spent my morning time connecting to bluetooth in my 6. First, I was hoping to finally be able to play music through BT, no such luck.. Then I realized that not I only have not gained any new features, I lost existing ones.. Apple maps never played through BT before, so I used Google maps and it was fine picking up the BT and giving directions through car's BT speakers.Now it wont do so, and I cant figure out how to do this. Before Google maps sometimes wouldn't connect to BT in the car so all I had to do is dial someone using iPhone and let BT pick the phone call; I could also control the audio source for the phone calls to go through the car and if you do that - Google maps would go through the car as well. I tried the same trick in ios7 and no luck..

Anybody out there has figured this out with ios 7 and BMW?

I am having the same issues in my car. Not a BMW. Anyone know of a fix yet?? Worked fine this morning before the update.

I can't connect my iPhone and iPad together any more via Bluetooth. Tried forgetting the devices on each and re-discovering them, but they can't even find each other. Bugger.

Just update to IOs7 on my iphone 5. Now iPhone BT knocks out my iHome iBT88 portable speakers. Have to wait 15 minutes for a reconnect (that is how long it takes iBT88 to reset.)

In essence I cannot use the portable BT speakers, thanks to iOS7. So Sad

I reluctantly upgraded to IOS7 and I should have listened to my inner voice.
Never buy a car that came off the assembly line on a Monday or Friday;
Never loan out your wife or your car...you may not get them back.
IOS7 bites the big weenie. What a huge disappointment! Its no wonder that Android is
outperforming this dying company. The best part of Apple left when Steve Jobs
departed. God rest his soul! I'm sure he is looking down in disgust.
