St2 (Sony Radio - Iphone Problems)

Good Morning One & All,

As the topic header says, I have recently updated my iphone 4S to the new operating system. However, upon doing this I have noticed that 9 out of 10 times the car will simply not skip the songs on my phone.

This applies to both the radio console and the steering wheel buttons.

As I have mentioned, this occasionally works, but before I reset my phone (which I cannot be bothered to do) I wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue. And if they have, does anyone have any help / pointers on how to sort this so very frustrating issue out. I have tried unpairing the phone, deleting off as paired device and so on.

The dealer where I bought the car from had the salesman connect and skip the songs ok on there iphone and skipping songs.

I am no mind that it is bug within my iPhone software and it will need backing up and redoing, but I would like to try and eliminate as many things as I can.

Thanks One & All for your time reading this.

Ross

    Have you tried deleting your phone from the car bluetooth and paired it again? Might be worth a shot.

    Sometimes ford bring out updates for head unit software to make the bluetooth compatible with the latest phones. I had to do this on my focus st a while back. Not sure if it will be the same though? Or perhaps the update will come from Ford in time? Try taking a look at this anyway to see if it helps:

    Cheers Ollie! 👍 I think this is the last avenue for me to explore before a reset of the iPhone. It's a 4s so I wonder if that's something to do with it... Come to think of it, the dealer had a 5 and it worked 👍

    can't see it been the phone's issue as sometimes i de bond my phone and link the GF's for long journeys so she can listen to her music and she has a 4's and worked fine on the weekend
