Default Galaxy S7 bluetooth problems

I recently switched to a Samsung Galaxy S7 from the HTC ONE. However, I am unable to connect to my 2010 ISF via Bluetooth. I have tried clearing out the cache and data "trick" on my GS7, but no luck. Is there anyone else here that ran into this issue? Do you have a fix for it?

My S7 had no issues connecting to my '08 Gen V system.

Have you tried re-syncing using the setup in the car's ML system?

I have a non-ML model, but thanks for the suggestion.

Is it originally a Hawaiian sold car?

Maybe one of the service reps at the dealer can help you out on the spot.

Although I am able to connect to my 2013 RX450h via Bluetooth for phone and player, Pandora will not work. Has anyone experienced this problem? It just says "Loading" and goes no where.

Had this issue yesterday with my new 6S plus . I had to erase the old phone. When I added it as #2 it didn't want to pair . Had to pair it a couple of times before it took . I went back to Verizon and they said to take it to the dealership but I got it figured out . I hope your fix is as easy

I've had similar issues when pairing my Note 5 with the Bluetooth in the car. What I had to do was start the bluetooth pairing, while its pairing, click on the gear icon next to car multimedia (or whatever your cars BT name is) and turn on Call Audio / Media Audio. When I did that, it started pairing and it's been fine ever since. Not sure why the phone wouldn't automatically try and pair for both methods but if I didn't turn those on it would just sit there and fail constantly.

No issues here either. Currently using an S7 with my 2012 ISF. I've used Note 4, Galaxy S6 Edge + and still no issues.
