IOS 7 Upgrade Issues?

[RiffRaff]

My wife upgraded her iPhone 4S to IOS 7 and she is having problems with the Bluetooth connection to her 2011 M37X. She can hear the caller, but they can't hear her. I tried re-pairing the phone but it still does the same thing. I have the same phone and car, so I'm holding off on the IOS 7 upgrade.

Is there a software update for the M37X that we will need to get?

Thanks!

It's not the car, it's iOS7.

The IT department at my work is prohibiting people from upgrading Apples because the new os is so buggy!

I'm running ios7 on my iPhone 5. No issues with my 06 m. Could be a problem with the 4s.

I've got a 2012 M and I've been using iOS 7 on my iphone 5 for a couple of weeks (since release of golden master). I've had no problems with Bluetooth connectivity with my car. Sounds like it might be an issue with the phone and iOS 7.

I have an 2009 M35x and an Iphone 4s. No connectivity issues but the iOS upgrade is a joke.

I removed all the I-phones from my company almost 2 years ago. We had consistent issues with them despite upggrades almost yearly and never-ending issues for my IT team to work on. The entire company has been using droids (HTC) and the difference has been staggering. No compatibility issues with any of the company or personal vehicles, no issues with servers at the main or the satellite offices, no internet delays, no problems with Email encryptions or protocols.
Apple phones are brilliant ! Apple just can't be bothered to make their products friendly with any other brand and I'm told by my IT peeps that I-phones do not have as secure encryption as do droids - even the almost defunct Blackberry has better encryption than the latest I-phone. As we deal with HIPAA regulations, security is a high priority for us.

I have a 2007 M35x and iPhone 5S. No connectivity issues at all. I'm running IOS 7.0.1 and like that I can unlock it with the fingerprint - it is a lot easier than typing in a passcode at 70mph.

I hope you're not using your phone at 70mph!!

I'm not a big Apple fan by any means, but I imagine whoever told you Android's encryption was better was wrong. For instance, see this article about a vulnerability in securerandom on Android. On the other hand, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out Apple's bluetooth wasn't up to specification (although I'm certain Nissan/Infiniti's isn't for that matter; there shouldn't be a certified phone list if your are truly bluetooth compatible). Nonetheless, I say this about Apple's bluetooth because I know Apple claims OS X to be POSIX compliant and isn't based on comments from a programmer who provided some important work in the Linux kernel regarding issues compiling a program (a POSIX compliant program that he has written in Linux as a hobby) on OS X.
