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

I had the same problem with my iPhone 6 in my 2014 Scion tC. The audio worked fine for music, but when I tried to use the screen for calls, it would either freeze, the buttons wouldn't be available, or it would say "No Service" even though I had full service. I tried everything that I was finding online including forgetting the car bluetooth on my phone, resetting network settings, changing from bluetooth from car to bluetooth from phone, removing the pairing and re-pairing, etc. and nothing was working. I finally found someone that said to not just reset network settings, but to reset all settings. So, I gave it a whirl and it fixed everything. The phone paired right up and everything works as it should now. The only minor issue is that you will have to go back in and redo your previous settings (ringtone, wallpaper, touch ID, passwords, etc.) It doesn't delete any data, pictures, apps, or anything like that - just general settings.


I would still delete the pairing from both the car and the phone first and then reset all settings.


Good luck!!

Car: 2010 BMW 328xiT w/iDrive

Phone: 4S

Update: iOS8 OTA


Still can't make or receive a call, it pairs no problem, all contacts download to the car, but when making a call it just won't kick over to the speakers, the phone makes the call in silence. When receiving a call, it rings through the speakers, but you can't answer it. I did find that if you listen to a voicemail while paired, it plays it over the audio speakers tho...weird...

I tried everything mentioned in this thread... forgetting and re-pairing both devices... reset network settings... reset all settings, no dice.


My partners 5S iOS8 OTA pairs and calls just fine in the same car.


Guess i shouldn't have upgraded a 4S like many of the tech blog warnings out there 😟

Yep! I am having the same problem. It not only happens with my Car, it happens when i connect to any device using Bluetooth connection.


When i connect with my Mercedes Benz Bluetooth, it dials the last number i called.


When i connect with my Bluetooth headphone, although it "Connects", it does not output any sound to the headphone.


Thank you!
