  • Bluetooth streaming problems introduced in Apple's iOS 9.2 remain, have wide ramifications

    Apple is 100% responsible for the wretched state of BT on its devices. My Alpine head unit kicked ass back in iOS7—I would get in my car, turn on my ignition, and BAM! instantly connected. Since iOS 8 and to today it has gotten progressively worse, even though my head unit's firmware has remained the same.

    Now, I'm about 1 out of 5 in connection success when I get in my car. Sometimes I have to reboot the phone to get it working again. But this is progress, right? Must be Alpine's fault, not Apple's. 

    To paraphrase Eddy Cue, "We're Apple, we do what we want with Bluetooth, and we don't wear suits."


    I think you hit it on the head (unit :))  Your BT "kicked ass" originally, but in the past several years you/Alpine haven't upgraded the firmware as BT standards have advanced, so it has gotten progressively worse.  Hard to attribute your problems to Apple.
