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

Mine is iphone 5, ios 8 and Mazda 2012 CX-9. After attempting a phone call my phone requires choosing its bluetooth before I can use. This app worked flawlessly with ios 7. The market news this morning says ios 8.0.2 is due in the next few days. Hope this problem gets fixed. As someone said previously, poor backtesting which is not expected from Apple.

Snice upgrading my iPhone to IOS 8, my bluetooth connection in my 2014 Acura MDX no longer works. The USB connection also does not synch. Sounds like everyone else is having similar issues. I hope Apple fixes quickly so people can avoid having to talk wihile holding their phone to their ears again while driving. It is also illegal in many states. Thanks Apple for making our life so much simpler.

Right. Nothing I've read seems to indicate that Apple addressed bluetooth issues with this release. Let me clarify my question.


Has anyone who updated to iOS 8, who experienced issues and was able correct them by Resetting ALL settings updated to 8.0.2? Right now I've got things working on 8.0 and don't want to rock the boat with an update until I know it isn't adversely affecting the connections.
