iOS 9.3
I think I encountered my first problem with the I-Phone upgrade to 9.3.
Prior to the upgrade, when I started the car, the center info screen would show "Owner's I-Phone Connected" and then go back to its original setting (which I have set to sport mode settings). Now, when I get in the car it says "Owner's I-Phone Connected" but it stays there and I have to manually scroll up to "Info" to get back to my original settings. Also, when it is stuck in the "phone connected" display, and I do anything with the phone, like type or turn it on and off, you can hear it through the sound system. Very weird....
Anyone else having similar issues?
PS....My car is a 2014 3LT. And it's an I-Phone 6. And I'm currently searching for others who have had issues with 9.3. Seems like there's a bunch.

There are issues with several brands smart phone platforms and seems the most common right now is the Smart Phone "unconnecting/reconnecting" over and over again.
My Iphone 5 was doing the above and changing to BT music after a phone call. The 9.3 update fixed the changing to BT music problem only and not anything else. Went through a phone factory reset and delete and repair with the infotainment system with no help. Tried wife's Iphone about 20 minutes and it seemed OK.
I have an 2015 Equinox loaner while the A8 issue is being fixed on the Corvette and have had no problems with it in 3 days. Also no issue with Uconnect in the wife's Dodge Durango.
Apple set me up to bring in the phone for repair but I do not think it is the phone itself but the OS for the phone and Infotainment is not fully compatible.
GM 16-NA-042 mentioned but it seems to only apply to Android.

I upgraded to 9.3 on my 6S+ a few days ago and have had no problems so far. (fingers crossed) I play music off a memory stick and mostly only use the phone for calls through BT. I will be installing the NavTool mirroring module in a couple of weeks so that will test my setup more thoroughly. I'll report back if any issues arise.

Good luck with NavTool.

I'm also on 9.3. I've had no issues making/receiving calls, including using voice control. I haven't received or made a text yet, so I'm not sure if that feature works. It didn't work before.

What phone are you using? I have a 5 but may change Saturday as it may be tied to the older phones from what I am hearing.

Happened once here too, '16 C7, iphone 6, 9.3 final. Never happened with the 9.3 betas.
I did notice in my '15 GM truck that the 9.3 final connects to bluetooth a LOT faster, used to take 20-30 seconds and now its almost instant so something was changed in the 9.3 final. Might be affecting the Corvette differently.
