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...

So I'm not the only one?!


I recently upgraded from my aging iPhone 4 to a 6. Everything seems to be working fine except using Bluetooth with Siri. I make a lot of use of voice commands as I do a lot of commuting, so far everything seems to be working except when I ask Siri to play something from my library. Whenever I ask Siri to play something it's played through the iPhone speaker. I figured I'd just have to change the default speaker in the Music app however this option was no where to be found like it was on my iPhone 4. I almost wanted to think there was a new hardware incompatibility, however if I initiated playing music from my car stereo controls or manually from my iPhone it would play through just fine.


I should note here asking to place a call, message etc all come through my stereo when I use Siri. Also, this issue does not occur when Siri is turned off.


TLDR; Siri will play everything through my BT except music. Music can be played by manual means.


I'm using an aftermarket 2012 JVC deck.

Same problem here: 2011 Ford Edge, 2009 Mercedes E350. iPhone5 worked fine with both cars and IOS 7.1.2 (AT&T). iPhone 5 with IOS 8 now fails to make calls and has phantom call on the screen. Got the iPhone 6 connected and same problem with IOS 8. Deleted every profile and re-paired with both cars. Still have the same problem.


To those who said this was not an Apple problem, you are completely wrong. This is an Apple problem and I hope they fix it ASAP.
