Q: Upgrading to OSI 8 now my iPhone working in my Car

I up grade to OSI 8 last night got in my 2014 Fiat 500L this morning and the phone does not work today.

Is there a way to go back to OSI 7?  If not when are you going to fix the phone issue in cars.  I see that there are a lot of issues concerning this problem.

Need apples help to fix this bug quickly.

iPhone 5, iOS 8

    There is no supported path to downgrade iOS.  Call Fiat and ask them for support getting your phone reconnected to Bluetooth in your car.

    II'm having the same problem now with my 2014 Fiat 500.. Mine is connecting to Bluetooth yet when I try and call someone the blue and me disconnects the call in about 10 seconds so it is no longer coming through the car speakers, yet the call is continuing through the phone. It worked fine until I updated to ios8. Why is this happening?!

    Kej1776,

     

    I work for Chrysler/Fiat.  The company released a statement to all its dealers about the release of IOS 8.  They are working on a software update on all Chrysler/Fiat radios.  This "flash" will be avaiable in a few weeks.  I suggest you call a Fiat dealer nest week to see if they will flash your car.

    I seem to got my iPhone 6 and 500L working again.

     

    I erased the phone and restored from backup. (Deleted the iPhone pair in the 500L and re-paired the iPhone with the car).

     

    A bit of a pain, but at least it is working again.

     

    It's definitely an iPhone iOS 8 issue. So hopefully Apple fixes this problem so others don't need to erase and restore from backup.

     

    BTW: I'm using 8.0.2 of iOS 8 now.

    It was working and all of a sudden I can't pick up calls and caller id doesn't show.

     

    IMgu ss we will have to wait for both Apple and Fiat to fix these issues.

    ive managed to get mine working now. I deleted the phone from the car and the blue and me from the phone. Then I went into settings>general>reset->reset settings. Did this, then I paired the phone with the car again and it seems to be working now    Hopefully it'll work for you too

    I too am suffering the same problem in my Abarth, deleting the pairing and reconnecting is only temporary because the next time I tired to connect I suffered the same issue, no calls through the car speakers.

     

    I've even tried doing a reset of the phone "home and sleep button pressed together" but this is also a temporary fix.

     

    Best bet is to try get an upgrade on the blue and me system but its such a pain to try and sort out time to take the car in and wait for such a small fix.

     

    Apple's fault no doubt, there has been many users who have been affected with this bug.
