Ever since I updated my iPhone4S to the latest mini patch V6.0.1 syncing with my tracker on startup has been intermittent which results in tracker calling me about once a fortnight. frown Prior to that (I ran both 6.0 and 5.X for quite a while) I had no issues ever, not even once!

Anybody else have the same problem with 6.0.1?

I havnt re-paired the phone with the car since the upgrade and it has crossed my mind this might help! Any thoughts??

No problem on Iphone5 with latest update.

Surely you can just watch for the red light to go out and if it doesn't then force a sync from the phone?

The red light eventually goes out regardless of whether it has synced or not smile

Iphone5 still runs 6.0.1 but it will of course have slighly different hardware, so...

Once the light has gone out the car Ive always found it is too late to try to sync/pair. Once the light it out the car needs to be turned off and restarted to put it back into red-light and pairing mode. If I force a connection on the iphone whislt the light is on I get a message about it being unsuccessful, albeit that it works and the red light goes out! Very odd... That said that's only if I spot the red light in time and as such often results in me getting a call.

Im guessing my problem is that I paired it whislt running 5.1 and have upgraded since, meaning the bluetooth stack may have changed slighly on within iO/S. I guess I need to re-pair with tracker but its a PITA so havnt done it.

On a side note I see they have done away with the SMS system they were using before and favour of the original system of just calling. Anybody know why?
