Exclamation iPhone 7 does not connect

Yes, the iPhone 7 does not connect to the XE. With many tries it can pair, but when you try to connect on the Jaguar it fails...

I have an iPhone 7+ and can connect fine. Do you mean by USB??

No, by Bluetooth. Dealer is going to try on another car. I can pair, but when the Jag sees the phone and tries to connect, it fails & times out. After that, it's difficult to re-pair the phone to the car. Will give it another try today. 4 other phones have worked on the car with no issue; just not this one...

It looks like lot of people are having the same issue and with other makes too. It seems to be the issue with the Bluetooth on IPhone 7 itself

Third time is a charm. I tried a few times and finally got it pair. Was using the Jag Apps Spotify via USB and then unplugged to use via Bluetooth. Phone was still using the Jag App, but car was using the Bluetooth display.

Did not try making a call, but I assume that is working now. What a relief... iPhone was finicky to pair!

I wonder if it'll be hit or miss every time I go to the car or if my girlfriend pairs her phone to the car and then I need to pair mine...

iPhone 7 actually picked up on Spotify again better than my Asus Andriod phone does in the XE.

Siri does not work over Bluetooth in the XE. Inexcusable in 2016.

The wife and I have iphones, 6s and a 7.

Bluetooth is questionable at best-we frequently have trouble connecting either one of the phones. For us anyway, I think its the car.

Sometimes the "pair" button doesn't appear.
Turning car on/off seems to usually do the trick.

Once the phone/car "pair" or remember each other, we still have trouble sometimes. You'll click "connect phone" and it says it can't be found. But when I open up the bluetooth settings in the phone and hit "connect" it'll pair usually.

We seem to have as much trouble with the 6s connecting as the 7 sometimes. Bluetooth for our phones work fine in the other cars we have.
