iPhone 5 iOS 8 Bluetooth issues with Audi A1

Apon upgrading to ios8 my iPhone connects to my cars bluetooth car kit(Audi A1 2012) but every time I place a call from my car the call drops from my car and i am only able to speak on my phone. Sometimes as my phone connects to the bluetooth kit my car dials the last number in my call log but in fact its not calling at all it just says it is on my cars display...

Please if anyone is having the same issue or knows what to do

NO HELP. I tried deleting and re-pairing the BT connection, even resetting the phone to factory settings and re-pairing. No help. I tried to downgrade to iOS7, but apparently too late, the files were not sign by APPLE any more. APPLE "THANK YOU VERY MUCH". The toys you sell are bloofy expancive, you better make sure not to spoil what is still working, APPLE ***** !!!

i have the same problem

using an after market kenwood gps/multimedia device with bluetooth /phone capability DNX6990HD in my ford fusion.

iOs 7 with my iphone 5s > no problem

"upgrade" to iOs 8.0 > phone bluetooth connects to the car fine, can play music, But it will not make outgoing calls.

re-pairing did not help.

in the same car, using another iphone still running iOs 7 the bluetooth and phone hands free works fine.

therefore > it's iOS 8 !!!!!!!!!!

hello Apple, until you fix this, post an update so we can go back to iOs 7 > you have just disabled millions of hands free phones > and in most states it is illegal to put your hands on a phone in a car

This is not a car issue! I have the same problem with my Mazda-3, it worked fine with my 4S iSO7 and also tested the BT connection and phone calling with a Nexus-5 phone. It was (4S iOS7) and is (Nexus-5) all good. But after the iOS8 update and a "Reset All Settings" (pain in the *** doing a reset all settings) I can connect to my car BT but can only make out going calls via the BT audio on a few of my numbers. It seems like it randomly connects via the BT audio, not consistent.


Apple,


I have an idea, why don't you let us go back to iOS7 for the 4S, 5C, and 5S? When you get this all working and tested then we might switch to iOS8.x.x.



Let us know.


Thanks

Tried unpairing, deleting paired devices, resetting network, and resetting all. My iPhone can connect via Bluetooth, but is unable to reliably make/receive calls. When I can make calls, the audio is garbled with significant interference (never had this issue before with my previous pre-iOS8 iPhone). The phone interface buttons (call, hangup) on my car do not work reliably with the phone, and the phone often does not disconnect on the rare times I'm able to place a call.


Very frustrating.
