Since my wife upgraded her iPhone 6 to iOS 11 and later patches, she cannot stream music via Bluetooth in her 2017 RDX Advanced. While connected via lightning cable it is generally OK. The phone always works. I tried re-pairing it but made no difference.
I have almost the same problem with my iPhone 8 on my MDX.
can anybody shed some light into this?

 

Check the Audio/Bluetooth forum, but I believe iOS 11 is generally having trouble with Acuras.

 

My android phone ( os 8) no longer plays Pandora. Phone itself works OK.

 

Interesting. I was convinced it was Apple iOS issue since it started happening when we upgraded to iOS11.
If it happening with an Android phone, it may me a Pandora thing that changed with their updates, not the iOS.

 

I'm not sure it's an Android issue. My S8+ handles Pandora and everything else bluetooth ok.

 

Bummer to hear. I have an iPhone SE with iOS 11.1 and my Bluetooth works just fine on my 2017 RDX Tech (I haven't updated to 11.2 iOS yet). One thing that I have seen on some Bluetooth radio systems is that if the volume on the phone's song playback is turned somewhat low but not all the way off, the music might be hit or miss on the car stereo. My old VW was that way and I had to keep the volume on the phone turned up at least half way to ensure playback. It's like the phone did not want to send any bluetooth signal if it wasn't a certain threshold on the playback for the phone (not a tech guy so no idea why). Probably not your issue but an easy check. In the meantime, I'll hold off on the update to 11.2 just in case.
