iPhone 6 bluetooth not working correctly with Nissan

My wife and I each have a Nissan Pathfinder (mine a 2014, hers a 2013). We have always had out iPhones pairs to them, but the iPhone 6 is not working correctly. The phones pair, but there is no audio (in or out) during phone calls, the screen in the car does not show a call was initiated when dialing out, and the Answer and Disconnect buttons on the steering wheel are not working. We have restarted both phones, restarted the car, deleted the pairing and re-paired. Nothing works. Is anyone else having this problem? This is a HUGE problem and it needs to be fixed ASAP (I am hoping through a phone firmware upgrade).


I also noticed that my Jabra headset I use at my desk (although it works for calls), loses the functionality of the single answer/disconnect button. I am assuming this is the same issue to either the bluetooth radio hardware to firmware. I have only seen one page on the net talking about this to date. Any hep is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

  1. 1) Log out of icloud on the iphone – SETTINGS, ICLOUD, SIGN OUT (AT BOTTOM)
  2. 2) Delete car/headset from iphone – SETTINGS, BLUETOOTH, SELECT DEVICE, FORGET THIS DEVICE
  3. 3) Reset network connections – SETTINGS, GENERAL, RESET, RESET NETWORK SETTINGS
  4. 4) Delete iphone from car memory
  5. 5) Restart phone
  6. 6) Pair to car/headset as normal
  7. 7) Log back into icloud to use icloud features


All done!

I Will try that , but I paid to much money for this 128gig iPhone 6 to going threw all of that , Apple needs to fix this, but one thing I did notice is, when I first got my phone from the store (before I restored it) my bluetooth work fine, this problem only happens after I retstored my new iPhone , with the contents of my 5s, I still can listen to music threw my Bluetooth , and I still can talk on it, I just can't anserw or End the call

Similar problems here. New iphone 6 will connect to Skoda Octavia and download the address book. I can select a contact and try to dial them but the call doesn't go through the car speakers....sometimes it just crashes the octavia media player. I've cleared out the existing bluetooth phone profiles and [aires the phine again but no problem. My iphone 5c works fine with my car and also my wife's car. My iphone 6 won;t work with either. Also, the dash control constantly shows that I have zero signal bars regardless of what is shown on my phone screen. Without doubt this is a iphone 6 hardware issue.

Not necessarily. The iPhone 6 does have enhanced Bluetooth features, which may not be speaking well with your car's system. So, it could just as easily be an issue with your car's codec for Bluetooth communications. Have you called your car manufacturer? By now they've likely heard from other customers and may have an update for the system.


Fiat, for example recognized their system's didn't play well with iOS8 and will be sending out an update to the Bluetooth in their cars soon.

I didn't want to read through all of the solutions/posts so if this has already been said or done, I apologize.


I have an Infiniti (should be same hardware for Bluetooth capability), once I downloaded iOS8 I had the same issue. Here is what I did...


1) unpair car from phone

2) forget the car from the phone

3) soft reset of phone (power and home button until apple logo appears)

4) reset network settings

5) pair the phone to the car again.


I have used the phone multiple times since doing this and have had 0 connection issues.


Hope this helps
