Bluetooth problems after 5.9 update

Mordi said:

Following my update to firmware version 5.9, my iPhone will not connect to the media app. It shows a "Restoring Connection" message on the top right corner of the screen but does not connect or allow me to access the drop down button.

My phone is connected via Bluetooth (I can make calls) but I can't play music or podcasts from my phone. I've reset the system twice and see no improvement.

Help anyone?

Had the same problem. Go into Favorites and select the iPhone in the devices section. It should then work in the drop down.

I was able to fix this previously by powering OFF the phone. Then reconnecting. It seems to be an issue with the phone.

I had a similar problem.
I told the Tesla to "forget" my device, then reboot the car, then service did a hard reboot (pulled a fuse) and then I powered down, and powered back on my device.
One of the last two steps seemed to clear it up. Try shutting off your phone and powering it back up.

Which version of 5.9 do you have? I had several bluetooth issues with .88, but they seem to be gone in .94.

I had a similar issue, and it seems to be fixed now, but if it is showing, go on your device and start the music playing. That seemed to help for me with my android phone.

Funny story... This morning I noticed my iPhone wasn't connecting via Bluetooth. I thought maybe the issue wasn't fixed in .94 after all. First I rebooted my iPhone because it's been known to act flakey at times so wanted to rule that out first. After the phone came back, it still wouldn't connect. At that point, I figured I'd reboot the center screen and see if that would help. That didn't help either. Hmm... so I was thinking I was already heading down the highway and the service center was close by, so I figured I'd just stop by and have them see it failing. A few minutes later, it occurred to me to check and see if Bluetooth was actually enabled on my phone. Lo and behold, it was turned off. Turned it on and it connected without a problem. Good thing I didn't make it to the service center because I would have felt really dumb.

Bluetooth problem with 5.9

For the first time, i am having problems with my bluetooth connection to my iphone -- specifically, i cannot stream music to the car. I am running 5.9 (.94) on the car and i have an iphone 5s with the latest software.

Here's the issue. When i pull up the media player in the car, i then click on the media shortcut button to display my available media options (i.e, am, fm, xm, slacker, iphone, etc.). When i click on the iphone option the car responds with a "Restarting Connection" or something like that, message. And then it never connects to the iphone. I am able to use my iphone through bluetooth to make calls, but not to stream media. All other media options work fine.

I've tried rebooting the center and instrument panel screens and I've tried disconnecting the bluetooth pairing to the iphone and then repairing. Nothing seems to work. I've alerted the service center but i wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the problem or has a fix suggestion.

Thanks
Jacob

Wow...same exact question on the first page.

I'm guessing this thread: Bluetooth problems after 5.9 update

I had the same problem. At the SC's suggestion, I paired my wife's phone to the car and she had no problem with media streaming. I then tried to use my phone and it magically started working again.

I noticed that others in the Tesla forum reported the same problem as identified in this thread. Here is the solution that several posters indicated fixed the problem:

"Ok here is the bullet proof way to resolve the iPhone music streaming not working. Go to the browse option in the media screen. Then select the devices tab after which press on the bluetooth service and press a song to play. That fixes the issue where the drop down selection does not select the phone. "

I have not tried this but hopefully it works.

"Restoring Connection" iPhone problem:

be sure your phone is connected/bluetoothed;
On your TeslaPad, touch the orange music note icon at the top, touch browse, touch your phone name (should show it there), touch media - should be all set.

mine crapped out two days ago, yesterday I called and they walked me through the reboot process for both screens and now all is good again.
