They have messed up bluetooth and usb car sync up. There are many threads. Mine was ok til ios 8. Now my car bluetooth won't pair (even after forgetting device and trying again). The phone sees it in list but they just don't connect. As a double blow my car had USB radio sync. So I could browse music app on the radio this way and play tracks. Now with ios 8 that is no longer working too. All the USB achieves now is charging the phone up. some defend apple saying the car manufacturers are too blame but the problem is pretty widespread. It's easier to change a phone than a car! It's not as if updating a radio firmware / car sync system is easy.


very dissapointed with apple, why do they mess about so much. If it ain't broken then don't try and fix it. They should of just kept doing point updates to ios 7 and got it really good and stable. It was pretty decent as it was. Instead ios 8 brings a raft of headaches. Maybe they will address it but I am suspecting not

Hi

Had the same problem with my Jeep. I did the following:

deleted all bluetooth devices on my iPhone

deleted the phone from my car's bluetooth paired device

swithed my car off

swithed Bluetooth off on my phone

rebooted my phone using home and lock simultaneously.

turned bluetooth back on

Started car and paired the two to again.

And now it works again.

iOS 8 problem by the look of things.

iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8 doesn't work with the Mercedes Command BluetoothUser uploaded file (tested on 2013 C63 AMG and a 2014 A45 AMG)

It pairs fine then instantly the car thinks it's in a call constantly. Calls can be made and received using the phone, however the steering wheel buttons do nothing and you can't listens to radio, cd, iPod etc without disconnecting the Bluetooth.Annoyingly it seems to be 6 Plus related as my iPhone 5 with iOS 8 works just fine...

I have the same problem and tried everything.

Iphone 5s, IOS 8, paired OK on subaru outback 2011 . Tried also on Motorola Roadster.

I did :

1. reset Network seetings

2. rebuild the phone as new (reset) in IOS 8

3. deleted from bluetooth devices and repaired

The phone connects but when I make calls no sound on bluetooth speaker.

I am very disappointed and I think this is a major issue.I am not sure if is a hardware issue or software issue.

Tried another Iphone 4, IOS 7.1.2 and works fine, there is no issue.
