FIXED: Garmin Zumo 660 + iPhone 5 w/Bluetooth = Headaches!
All,
I have been having fits with my Bluetooth connectivity ever since I got my iPhone 5 and was wondering if anyone else has had the same issues and hopefully found a fix. My setup is as follows:
iPhone 5 -> Zumo 660 -> Scala G4
This all worked FLAWLESSLY with my BlackberryTorch -> Zumo 660 -> Scala G4 configuration.
But since switching to the iPhone I cannot actually answer and complete a incoming call. When I answer the call both parties can hear the other say hello then the communication goes dead despite the phone and the zumo both showing the call is still active. You can even hear the audio click to silence. It is REALLY annoying! Granted I am not constantly riding around chatting on the phone while riding but it is a VERY NICE feature to have when you need it.
The below details others having issues with MANY different types of vehicles, cars and motorcycles alike with EXACTLY the same issues.

If you read far enough you will see many vehicle manufacturers have issues fixes to their navigation systems in cars to allow this to work.
Anyone else had issues and fixed them? I am calling Garmin now.
Edit 4/1/2013: Tried the latest iPhone 5 update 6.1.3 and now my Garmin Zumo660 + iPhone 5 + Scala G4 Bluetooth setup seems to work as it used to.:yes:
