iPhone blutooth won't connect

My old phone (iPhone 4) connected and worked fine for phone calls. I broke that phone and got a new 4S and now it won't connect. iOS 5.1.1 is up to date on the phone. What the hell?

No upgrades because you don't have advanced bluetooth or the smartphone integration. That being said basic bluethooth should still work. Check your bt settings on both the phone and the car. Delete and re-pair if necessary as well.

I tried deleting the phone off the car's system and reconnecting. No such luck. I gotta figure something out because as much as I hate chit chatting on the phone while driving, it is a necessity at times and in a 6MT there's just no getting around bluetooth.

Gotta be something simple. If I had the fiber optic cable, we could update with Autologic. We can always set up an appointment to have us do it with the ICOM. Only other option would be the dealer for the update.

I honestly think it might be the phone. As soon as I connect with the car, the car says "connected" but the phone immediately gives a display of "could not connect blah blah blah" and then the little bluetooth insigina on the phone disappears (though the bluetooth remains on in the phones settings menu)

Very strange.

It could be the phone. But after the read I took on your car with the Autologic, it showed that you definitely needed some updates. I'd guess that one of the updates would fix the issue.

Updating is not always the answer, most times causes additional problems if you are not sure what the updates specifically target.

Is your Iphone jailbroken? Do other iPhones connect to your system without any issue?

We can also try my phone with your car and determine whether it's the phone or the car.

My phone is not jailbroken and I haven't tried any other phones except my old 3GS which seemed to work just fine.

Try resetting your network settings:

1. Tap Settings
2. Tap General
3. Tap Reset
4. Tap Reset Network Settings

You will need to enter in your WiFi passwords afterwards (have them handy), sometimes this will fix Bluetooth issues as well.
