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...

BLUETOOTH in iOS 8 seems completely BROKEN!!!


After updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8, (even after update to 8.0.2.), bluetooth service in the phone is lost!!

Tried everything, reset network settings, deleted bluetooth devices, renamed iPhone, restarted it (soft reset), NOTHING!!!


I can't connect iPhone with my car bluetooth handsfree.

And that's not all! My iPhone can't even connect with my iPad, so I can forget about Airdrop as well!!!!


So frustrating!!!! As if BT service in the phone is broken!!!


Do I need to say, everything worked flawless in iOS 7!!


what is happening with Apple?!? This lasts too many days already, for how long more should we wait for its reaction?!

Two things:


1. Went to Apple and they told me what they've been telling everyone. That its my car, which we should all know is an absolutely absurd response. Anyway, long long long long story short - I had a terrible Genius Bar experience. The way they do things now is to help 2-3 people at once and no longer give you the one on one customer service they used to. Disappointing. They restored my phone and it was the first time I've seen iOS 8 work with my car Bluetooth to make calls. Though, after setting the rest of my phone up, all hope was lost as I was back to the initial problem of audio dropping back to my phone. Genius bar rep had a terrible attitude, reset my phone without even asking or telling me what he was doing and overall had a stice up attitude.


2. Why is this not getting more national / media coverage. All we hear from Apple is its our car. And all the reps at the store tell me they haven't heard of this issue. I find it hard to believe that people at Apple (Tim cooks friends, Johnny I've family, etc. who use the phones aren't having issues and reporting to them)


im seriously thinking about going to android or something else and I'm a HUGE APPLE FANBOY ;(

this is makes me so sad

IPhone 6 ios8.0.2 and Audi Q7 BT not working at all.

Tried reset settings, did not solved anything.

Phone is paired with car but incoming calls is not routed to car at all. When i receive a call, phone rings but on Audi MMI display i get nothing and music is still playing as if there is no incoming call. I answer from phone, call is routed to phone, when i hang up my Audi is showing on the screen that i am talking to the person i just hang up with and radio is muted.

To get my Audi out if this i need to turn bluetooth OFF on the phone.


This is absolutelly insane. Apple, bluetooth car systems have been around for years, how can you manage to break this function.

Now i am using apple headset in my 50k$ car with my 800$ iphone6. Is outrageous Apple.

The cheapest phone on the market can easily handle bluetooth calls in any car, Apple did it until few weeks ago.

You really need to fix this and fire the bluetooth implementation manager for ios8.

I hope that Apple is reading this thread.

IOs8 is such a pain, i get notifications with huge delay, sometimes i see the banner for new message, open it, hit reply and then i get the sound notification for the same message.

1 out of 10 apps crashes including system apps like calendar.

I can not create an entry in calendar with end time the next day because when i try to save it calendar crashes, i created it on my macbook, i see it in the phone calendar but if i try to open it again calendar app crashes.


I tried until now settings reset, network reset and dfu restore.

Nothing solved the problem.
