I have a friend who says that the Bluetooth feature on his iPhone 5 is turned off ... yet when he gets into his car the phone connects with the stereo/hands-free system and that he can make and receive calls.
As far as I know there is no way the bluetooth gear in a car can switch on something that is switched off.
So you would have to conclude the bluetooth doesnt shut off on his iphone even though it may say that it is. There a few posts on google about bluetooth not disabling properly (there are always posts about anything on google though).
I guess its a good idea to make sure your friend has all the latest IOS updates etc.
Bluetooth is pretty low power usage though - bit annoying though if you think its switched off and its still on.

The phone owner says that there is no BT icon unless he turns BT on using the slider ... and that it goes away when the slider is put to off. Also says that IOS is fully up to date.
I'd like to watch what actually happens when he gets in the car, but since he's in Los Angeles I'd not get back in time for dinner tonight
Does the iPhone have some form of infra-red or wifi capability to connect with a car's phone system?
