Default Verizon Iphone 4 and Bluetooth.

2009 Corvette coupe 3lt. Had an Android cell phone and the bluetooth worked with it just great. I had to have an Iphone when Verizon made it available and the bluetooth only works sometimes with it. I went to the dealer after APPLE told me to make sure that the firmware for the cars bluetooth was up to date. The dealer said it was.

Anyone else having problems? Is there a fix out there I don't know about? Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions

my bluetooth has always worked great with my iphone 3gs both in the vette and silvarado, maybe it the iphone 4 causing problems. My car is an 09 coupe.

I've seen the same in my 2011. It hasn't been so much an issue with the car as the phone. If I turn the phone off (completely power it down) and then back on it works fine. Twice this week I have had to do that. Sorry, no magic fix yet but will pass along if I find it. We're better of than my boss who just bought a Ferrari California - the iPhone doesn't work at all with his bluetooth.

Maybe two completely different issues, but having a problem anyway.

I have an iPhone 4. Although the my 2007 did not come with a factory Bluetooth, the previous owner installed an aftermarket and it worked fine with my Blackberry, iPhone 3 and iPhone 4. Anyway, Bluetooth should be universal, and your iPhone will pair with any bluetooth signal. However, the frequency is not very strong and sometimes has issues and (in my opinion) is not the best technology to begin with.

I have an at&t iphone 4 and my bluetooth works fine. It worked in my 09' coupe and now in my 10' GS. I use it almost everytime I'm in the car. It might be the different configuration of Verizon's iphone.

What aftermarket install do you have? I have an 08 that I would like a bluetooth connection.

It's called a Tellphone 4200. Works great. It was already installed in the car when I bought it. It works though the stereo like a stock Bluetooth. When the phone rings, the radio mutes.

Default Phone reset

I've tried everything. I have shut off the phone and restarted it. Works for a bit, then quits. Phone call is hung up between Bluetooth and phone. Never the same symptoms twice it seem.
