Default Enform

My phone used to connect with Enform without problem the first few days of ownership.

Now, it connects maybe 1 out of 10 times. And, it won't connect even when I shut off both the car and phone.

It sure is getting frustrating having this issue with a new car.

Anyone have a fix for this???

Can you try with someone elses phone and see if it does the same thing?

It will help you see if its your phone or the actual vehicle's Bluetooth system

Is it just Enform or are you having problems with calls or Bluetooth audio?

What phone OS are you on?
Android, bIOS, BlackBerry?

My phone occasionally does the same, powering off the phone and restarting usually helps.

on your phone if you open up the enform app and then go to apps in Enform it usually works better!

My iOS is current on my 4s.

The phone connects to play music and the phone and address book function fine.

The Enform app is running too and shutting down and turning on works only sometimes.

I would recommend trying this. It helped with a similar problem I had with an Android phone.
1. Remove the iphone from your bluetooth settings in your GS (Settings>Bluetooth>Devices)
2. Unpair/delete the GS from your iphone
3. Uninstall then reinstall the Enform app on your phone

Then you can re-pair your phone/GS and hopefully that will fix the issue.

As an aside the Android Enform app was just updated earlier this week and seems to be more stable now.

I set up Enform last week, then left town before I had the opportunity to try it. I went for a drive today, and Pandora worked flawlessly. It sounds fantastic with the ML audio. I love it!

Same here. It seems the update came out right as I got my car, so I just missed whatever was causing so many others such grief. Mark Levinson audio does a great job making Pandora through Bluetooth sound good.

I'm using the Android Enform App. I noticed in the months leading up to my car purchase that this App was getting a lot of bad reviews, complaining that it quickly drained the phones' batteries. They must have fixed it, because I have not noticed a significant problem. Leaving Bluetooth on all day drains the battery a bit faster, but I have a Bluetooth on/off widget that I use before and after driving. The Enform phone app seems fine battery-wise to me.

This must be why I had to manually open the Android Enform app and re-login (something I haven't had to do in the last six weeks I was using it). I noticed for a few days I was getting consistent "Unable to contact Enform app" errors on the car, and I finally went to the app on the phone where it asked me to log in again. Now it seems to work much better.

I still have problems connecting. It only works about 50% of the time.

I've seen some issues with iPhone 4S and the enform app suite, like the please wait icon just spinning nonstop, some apps work and others don't. However i was told there is a new update coming out for the enform app that should be released from apple sometime in the near future. This should fix any bugs that are left.

Best fix is to uninstall from phone and try and get over that we were sold and paid for technology that doesn't work.

Think of it as a safety feature to keep you from using your phone while driving.
