This is, in my opinion, very much an Apple issue. Bluetooth MAP works perfectly with Blackberry 9800 in my 2011 BMW F10. You must remember that Apple were not "trying" to get this working for BMW, they were trying to get it working for other bluetooth MAP devices (bluetooth watches and the like). In my opinion, they weren't trying very hard anyway. It seems that IOS 6 was rushed to allow Apple to launch the iPhone 5. Just look at the mess they're in over the maps!!!

I have tried all beta versions of IOS 6 and none of them worked properly. What we now have is as good as it gets until the next udpate to IOS 6 but I seriously wouldn't hold out too much hope that it will be fixed even then.

Final point; this past weekend I updated the software on the BMW to TX 3.5.5 which made no difference whatsoever. According to BMW, this update is to provide better performance on IOS 5. It seems BMW are a bit behind the times when it comes to software!
