Bluetooth won't connect after using driving mode

[fionamcg]

Last night, I saw an article about driving mode and thought I'd set it up on my 1020 to try it out. (It would let me stop notifications of texts while I'm driving, but still take Bluetooth calls.)

Today, my phone wouldn't connect to my car's Bluetooth. I decided to disable driving mode as it was obviously causing the problem, but the on/off option was greyed out.

Eventually, after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, I decided the only option was to reset the phone to go back to driving mode not being set up. You can imagine what a hassle that was. But the phone still doesn't recognise my car, or, it seems, any other Bluetooth devices.

It is galling, because my new car (a Mini Cooper) doesn't have a Cd player, so Bluetooth is the only way I can play music.

If anyone can help, many thanks in advance.

Did you try deleting the paired device, car stereo? This has usually worked for me in the past when BT devices won't connect with any phone, regardless of OS.

Thanks - I hadn't thought of deleting it on the car. I was sure the phone was the problem! Maybe it was, but that worked, so thanks again.
