Same issue here, we have two commodores (VE Omega Series 2, VE SS Series 1 With IQ Unit). iPhone 5S... (had a few different phones)...... issues. No audio when answering calls or also when making them. With iOS 10 I found if you call or answer a call and get no audio, if you unlock the phone and just tap the audio (to select the source) it just flashes on mine and suddenly the sound comes out the speakers........ some people do the double transfer thing...... doesn't always work I find. I mean your driving how bloody dangerous is this crap APPLE! Holden! Come ON!
It sucks, I posted on Apple's forums, they removed my post apparently because I mentioned I'm now running BETA IOS ...... and beta's not aloud 'the word' on the forum ...... idiots.
Apple wont fix it, they've moved onto CarPlay, Holden wont fix it they're leaving shop.
So we are screwed. You know how you fix an iPhone with an IQ issue.......... you buy a bloody SAMSUNG.... it's honestly probably the only way to get a damn phone call reliably in the car is to use a stupid android no doubt.
--------- AH FOR THE SAKE OF IT ->>>> Here is my rant Apple Removed.
We have two Holden Commodores here in Australia, we've had a few iPhones and we've had numerous issues with the Holden IQ system in both cars. Basically you can answer a call and no audio, you can type transfer twice on some VE's, depending on the iOS version and that works, sometimes not.
I currently have run iOS 10..... and interestingly, I have to unlock the phone while driving and tap the 'source' button for the audio. The screen flashes and the audio suddenly comes on in the car.
Now our cars have the latest Holden IQ software, as I have a Tech 2 & MDI to basically update them myself.
Other phones DO NOT have a problem with Holden IQ. It's just APPLES. WHY. What seems like forever ago now they used to work mostly....... but with the addition of FaceTime, CarPlay...... Apple's TouchID, stupid push button unlock system in iOS 10 now......... basically EVERYTHING they've added, improved on has made this problem worse and worse.
Why cant Apple, one of the richest companies in the world who supposably care about their customers FIX this issue. If Holden cant, geez Apple, you got money get your Tech's into the IQ system software and have them send Holden a fix/make a fix.
It's annoying phone after phone, update after update...... for a car thats not that old we're still having basic call issues.
It is dangerous........ and it is apples fault. No different then how Apple cut out Google Maps. Again another point, Google Maps used to send directions out the IQ system, it'd just chime in as it needed to..... now it doesn't work at all.
So while Apple may have an eco-system, it's quickly falling apart for us in our house.
Has apple lost their way? ......... that's currently the question. Maybe Apple should say hey....... while we don't want to be like Windows, can we ask sir/madam, what kind of car system are you using for your bluetooth phone calls?....... eg. I select well it's a Holden IQ system and the phone adjusts/patches whatever it has to and JUST WORKS!
I dont care how they fix it, they just need to fix it. IT IS A DANGER ON THE ROAD USING AN APPLE PHONE WITH A HOLDEN IQ SYSTEM.
