Hey! For 2013 Elantra owners, I opened a case with Apple. I have engineerings attention. If you are having trouble with Bluetooth on your iPhone 7/7+ and a '13 Elantra, make sure to open a case with Apple and reference this thread. Tell them Senior Advisor Kelsey S is working a case with another person on this issue. Let's show that this is a widespread issue and get some results!
Got a tip for us?

[doublepost=1474844273][/doublepost]Yes in the car mine does the same thing GMC Terrain. Hands free even says it's pairs. Phone indicates paired. But really only pairs when you touch it in the display. Then. If a call is made. It takes 30 secs to connect, audio is terrible and call fails. Hands free disconnects. Iphone just does nothing. Another interesting thing is the blue tooth will discount from anything it's connected to. My Fitbit surge, and wireless speakers. At some point over a few minutes it's stops working. Contacted apple senior support. Did lots of Test. Three hours on the phone. And waiting to hear back once the apple supreme minds come up with a fix. Like a firmware update or replacing this's phone. I have. Formatted and started as a new phone. Girlfriends 7 also does not connect to cat blue tooth. Apple you have another problem to deal with.
Ha. Tell them to fix their OS, not upgrade the firmware. That's just an outrageous suggestion from Apple, and I would push back immensely. What if the firmware upgrade fails? What if it breaks something else. Would they be willing to take responsibility for that? I doubt it. If not, they either fix the OS or buy back your phone.
2014 Nissan Altima here, having issues with Bluetooth in my car as well. It connects and plays music for a while before it starts either stuttering, speeding up (like a 1.5-2x speed), break up.
Seriously thought I just got a bad egg because my 6s Plus and old 5s were working beautifully. I was going to restore my 7 Plus and see if that helped but I'm seeing it's not helping.
Hoping a software update soon will fix this.

Why not just use USB? Much better sound quality and it charges the phone too while playing music.
Prefer wireless. Especially since that's what Apple is trying to preach with this iPhone lol.
LOl but Your car has Apple Mfi certification. Use it to the greatest. It's a better option and you won't go back once you start using Audio through USB on iPhones. IMO, it just works better. Charges the phone and everything.
My wife is having this problem, too. iPhone 7+, iOS 10.0.1, 2015 Toyota Sienna. I'm going to test it with my phone when I can. I use USB audio in my car and it's been solid.
I told her to use USB in the meantime, but for us that's not a permanent solution. The car's USB port only provides low-power charging, and if you're using a navigation app and streaming music the battery slowly discharges while plugged in. Therefore we use a high power USB charger in the accessory power port and Bluetooth for music.

I've used it before, it charges it extremely slow lol, and I have a car charger that charges much faster.
So again, I'd prefer wireless and then having the ability to charge it (faster) if I needed to.

This is exactly what I have to do with my phone/car.
Precisely what happened to me. Same year. Same car. Same result, except I kept my 6+.
P.S. How do you like blowing a 6 series off the road?
me too. and fired off an angry email to Tim and Phil. which got me a response from the exec team.
What was their response? Did they confirm that they're looking in to it?
My car (2015 RAV4) actually doesn't output enough power through the built in USB port to charge, play music, and have google maps open st the same time. The battery drains, albeit slowly.
For longer drives I prefer a USB adapter and streaming everything over Bluetooth. This generally works just fine although watching a video (passenger only!) has a 1-2 second delay.
