Anyone using the 3G TL HFL with an iPhone on iOS 11.XX?

My iPhone SE worked fine with the HFL on iOS 9.XX, and worked OK except for occasional delays when answering calls on iOS 10.XX.
The HFL manually paired with the iPhone on 11.1, but didn't automatically pair with the HFL system. Now, the HFL on my TL doesn't even find the iPhone when pairing after updating to iOS 11.2.1.

 

I'm on 11.1.2 without any problems, X. Pairing processes was the same as my 5S, clicked the call button, went into phone setup, said pair and toggled my phone BT off and on. I've only used it a couple of times but it seems to auto-connect and receive calls fine for about a week now.

 

I have a iPhone 7 and am running iOS 11.2.5 beta and it is still working fine for me.

 

delete from both car and phone and re-pair

 

That did not work, unfortunately. I tried that yesterday as well as a few weeks ago before posting this thread.
The HFL can't detect my iPhone SE when it's in discovery mode.
I am using a Nulaxy Bluetooth/FM adapter in the meantime, and sorely miss the HFL.
