not a issue with phone. i had a lg phone and a apple device synced up and neither of them work now. has to be a radio defect.

I have to "forget this device" once in a while. I drove 5 hours Wednesday without it. Driving home I tried the forget. It works now.

Condition/ConcernA customer may state that their iPhone will not always autoconnect through Bluetooth to the vehicle.
If the vehicle has more than one device listed in the Bluetooth device list, and the last device used was an Apple product, the Apple product will not autoconnect. The system will connect to one of the other devices instead. This concern is usually noticed after Retained Accessory Power has cancelled and the vehicle has gone to sleep.
Recommendation/InstructionsAdvise the customer that they will need to update their Apple device to the latest operating system. OS 8.4 alleviates this concern

Yeah, I had this problem. Take it to the dealer, all it needs is a very firmware update.

In my 2011 ss, the sound is way better when using the USB cable vs the Bluetooth.

I use to have that problem, until I got a new phone. Now both wired and Bluetooth sound the same.

I have a new Iphone 6s---Can't be the phone. I'm betting it's the Bluetooth software in the 2011 model. Now, in my 2013 Mailbu, I have the TouchLink system, and in there the Bluetooth sounds good.

Like I said before, take it to the dealer to update the firmware.
