Let's say I am streaming music off my iPhone using bluetooth in my car and I walk out the car let's say to go to a deli to buy something and then came back into my car, of course the bluetooth will be disconnected, my question is: Does it reconnect by itself? If so, how long does it take to get reconnected? Or do I have to reconnect manually?

TIA.

Hi,

I always keep bluetooth On on my blackberry Z10 and it connects automatically every time i start my car .
If i leave my car and come back, all bluetooth services reconnects automatically (I've got S609 Nav CIC with Combox)

It should be the same with you.

Mine shows it's connected, but I can't view my playlist, it would say it's connecting.... I think I'll have to play around more.

Bluetooth connectivity depends on if you got the corned beef or the pastrami in the deli. 😉

It should connect after several seconds. I carry two phones - iPhone and Android. Both have BT turned on always. Both connect automatically every time I get in the car. You might try unpairing and repairing again.

I just got home... while I was out, it did quickly connect automatically. For some reason I don't think it did earlier today.

Yes, it does automatically reconnect. You pair the device to your car once, and it will attempt to connect to the phone every time you start the car. With iOS8, it's a hit or miss on the connection. It'll connect 90% of the time. I sometimes switch to music I have stored on the car's HDD, then switch the media to Bluetooth in the car, and it connects quickly. This never happened with iOS7 - it just connected 100% of the time.

Not sure why iOS8 doesn't play well with CIC, and I have tried this on a iPhone 5S and a iPhone 6.

Another piece of the puzzle is if you have synced more than one device. Currently I have 3 (My IPHone - #1; Wife's IPhone -#2; and an older IPhone that I use as a audio book device that is plugged into the console connector. This last device does NOT have a SIMM card).

Problem sometimes comes as the audio (which was left in the console and is plugged in as "Media") device sometimes will also take over if I exit the car and take my IPhone with me. Upon reentering the vehicle, if I then try to make a phone call, the car system sometimes tries to make the "failed call" via the non-simm audio book/old IPhone device.

Tain't a biggie, but it might also impact on others who fall into the same trap. So when I reenter the car, If I did not pull the plug on the audio device, I check my IPhone to ensure that Bluetooth on that device is still connected. If so, no worries. If not, then a reconnect before driving off.
