Default Synch failure
Anyone else having issues with Iphone after the last software update. My Iphone will not stay connected to radio thru bluetooth connection and constantly get "synch failure" message on screen.

I assume you’re referring to the 6.5 and not the GTS. I’ve had no issues staying connected.

I did not have any major issues with the 6.5 until I installed the IOS 12.0.1 update on my phone. Now I constantly get "synch failure" message.

Are you running 1.22.0.1 on the 6.5? Have you tried disconnecting and re-establishing the Bluetooth connection? I hope you get it figured out because I doubt HD will provide many further updates for the 6.5 now that GTS is out. Hoping I’m wrong.

I've not had this issue lately but in the past deleting the pairing on both devices - Boom and iPhone - and then repairing solved it.
