i0S7 and Bluetooth

About to update iPhone to i0S7 and before I do, thought I would ask if anyone has already upgraded and had any issues with their 991's Bluetooth connection?

Thanks

How is the Bluetooth audio. I heard that with iphones it doesn't work that well.

No issue with iOS7. Got a 5S Friday. Had to delete the old iPhone before the new one could be added. When that was done, the new one was recognized, the handshake was done and everything was transferred. Took about a minute.

Bluetooth is perfect, phone color matches the car, leather case matches the dash.

Thanks, I will be doing the update to i0S7 right now. The Bluetooth in my car has worked flawlessly! I especially like seeing my text messages, but would really like to have the sender identified.

With the iOS7 update, I still have Bluetooth audio from my iPhone 5, but lost the ability to advance track selections from the arrow buttons on PCM. I had no problems with that prior to the update.

I find that the BT Audio option some times disappears from the source screen even though the Audio devices say that the phone is connected. Usually comes back after the car sits for a while, but really annoying nevertheless. BT phone continues to work though. Just FYI, maybe it's just my software. There's also no way to really re-boot PCM so you're stuck with having to leave the car for a bit.

I had this same problem yesterday for the first time. I thought maybe it was the new update.

Sure you can reboot it. Just press the round volume **** to turn off the PCM and wait a few seconds the press it again. When my bluetooth disappears that's what I do.

All good for me and iTunes radio rocks. I think Pandora will take a huge hit...

That doesn't really fix the issue, and it isn't a full reboot - when the PCM fully shuts down you get the Porsche logo instead of the model logo when you start the PCM up. Can't find anything more than pulling the fuse.

But otherwise iOS 7 bluetooth works fine with the car.
