Issues with iPhone SE’s Bluetooth audio connectivity

It has been noted that certain iPhone SE users are facing problems with their Bluetooth Call Audio.  There is an audio issue with Bluetooth phone calls and GPS voice navigation. However, the music system is not affected by this at all. As Bluetooth is the mode of connection with most car infotainment systems, different car makers like BMW, Audi, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Hyundai, Jeep, etc are affected by the Bluetooth connectivity feature of iPhone SE.

A problem shared by an user on the Apple Forum is, I’ve been having issues for the past two weeks. First it was my car receiver having issues going from a phone call back to music, the music would skip like an old CD after a phone call, iOS 8.02 seems to have fixed the problem. Right now i’m dealing with two issues, one is my pebble watch connecting with Runkeeper and displaying my information while running. Turning off my phone seems to fix that occasionally. The last issue I’m having is with my Dual GPS receiver. The receiver will lose connection with the GPS satellite anytime I get out of the Dual iPhone app becoming useless when I start Runkeeper.

Although apple is yet to come up with a solution for the problem, there are many people who are reporting similar issue with their iPhone SEs. There is yet no official word on the matter. The version of iOS 9.3 or 9.3.1 is most affected. The new version of iOS 9.3.2 has not yet solved the problem. Users have tried restoring their mobile, un-paring and re-paring their Bluetooth, resetting network settings, toggling cellular data and changing SIM cards but the problem persists. The Apple engineers are aware of the problem and are already working on the same to resolve it.
