iPhone 6 not connecting to car Bluetooth

same problem in not being able to connect iPhone 6 plus iOS8 to 2007 Toyota Camry factory installed Bluetooth.

No problem in connecting with my iphone 5 iOS 7 device.

Just ust need to make hands free calls which is by law in California.

Unfortunately that sequence didn't work for me. I have a 2011 Lexus GX460. The 5S always worked well with it. The 6 Plus will not make or accept calls.

Hope there is a quick fix from Apple. :-(

1. Remove your old phone from your GX

2. Reset all your settings on your IPhone

3. Now reset your networking setting on your IPhone

4. Now pair your IPhone with the car multimedia and enter the code on your It

I've GX 460, 2011 and it worked.

Good luck, after all it's a beautiful phone , these minor issues will resolved

And you will be happier in the long run?

I'm wary of doing that as I have customized a lot of settings on my phone.

Can I restore the setting s from a backup after pairing?

I have similar issue with my '07 Lexus Bluetooth after installing IOS 8 on my IPHONE 5S. The Bluetooth connects then phone immediately tries dialing over and over without a number to dial. Each "call" lasts about 2 seconds. Had to turn Bluetooth off on phone. All worked perfect before upgrading to 8..

This worked for me:

1. Update to 8.0.2.

2. Backup phone to ITunes

3. Remove your old phone from your GX

4. Reset all your settings on your IPhone

5. Now reset your networking setting on your IPhone

6. Restore your IPhone from the latest backup

7.Now pair your IPhone with the car multimedia and enter the code

I Dont think so. Because your settings are in the backup. I didn't want to do it either but it did fix it for me. Some have had success with just clearing the network settings.

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and a 2015 Nissan Leaf, both with bluetooth phone and audio streaming support. Both worked fine with iPhone 5s running latest iOS 7.

When I upgraded one iPhone 5s to iOS 8 and replaced the other with an iPhone 6Plus running iOS 8, both are having problems with both cars.

1. Both gave a "failed connection" message but the phones do actually pair.

2. Both cars show a phone handset with a line through it on the in-car display which means no connection.

3. The "5 bars" cell signal indicator on the in-car display no longer shows up.

3. Outgoing calls made from phone and put through car system work fine except for some garbled audio.

4. Incoming calls make the wrong screen appear on the nissan display and can not be answered by the display on the car. Pushing the answer button on the in-car display doesn't do anything.

Lots of other tiny issues. Apple needs a fix here. I called Nissan and they said it's 100% Apple's fault.

I would agree with Nissan since their stuff is mainly hardware. My IP6 paired fine right from the git-go on my Range Rover Evoque, but after countless tries on my '13 Mini Cooper, I've given up. I'm guessing Apple just didn't test this feature with different car makers.

Yes, the iPhone does a lot of things, but basically it's a mobile phone that most people expect to pair with their vehicles if for no other reason, to avoid breaking the law by only using "handsfree" while driving. Take this feature away and the phone is then worth maybe 25% of what Apple is charging for them if that.

I have a Mini Cooper too and on the iphone resetting the settings then resetting the network settings, deleting from the car the old phone pairing name and then doing a paring (which on the car gave a new paring name iPhone1) did the trick.

Thanks! I'll try that in the morning when my head is clearer from evening beverages. I was leery about resetting the settings part of the equation. I assume that means mostly options under Preferences. I do have a few apps that contain data that I would rather not lose. I think I'll do another backup to iTunes before crossing that Rubicon .

I Just was able to pair the iPhone 6 plus with the Bluetooth on the 2007 Camry. Though the display still says incorrect name of phone and doesn't say it is connected on startup.

The trick for me was to delete the pairing of the old iPhone 5 that I had by using the Camry display pane. Then to register the newly found iPhone 6 plus on the Camry display pan when I turned on the Bluetooth on the iPhone 6 plus.

The iPhone did not display an input for the PIN to register until I TOUCHED the iPhone 6 text line on the iPhone. If I didn't do thi, I would not have gotten the PIN input prompt.

I Did not need to reset any settings on my iPhone 6 plus and I setup the iphone 6 plus with a prior backup of my IPhone 5.

8.0.2 appears to have solved it for me.

I tried my iPhone 6 this morning before updating. Did not work, as recounted by many on this post. Updated to 8.0.2 and went to my car, no problem sending or receiving calls. Did not have to do anything to the car or iPhone after the update, it simply connected and worked. Time will tell if this really is a fix.

I updated to 8.0.2 last night and everything worked fine this am. Will continue to test all the functions.

A couple of questions. What year is you Mini? And where do you hold the phone while pairing? I tried mostly around the center circle on the Mini, but tried other locations as well without success. I've done your procedures above with no apparent effect in this quest to pair my phone.

I turn Bluetooth on, and then the screen pops up that shows any devices. Below that, I see "Other devices" with the spinning ball. When I'm in the Mini, after a few seconds, I see "Minixxxxx" with the x=5 digits. If I do nothing, the spinning ball continues. If I click on "Minixxxxx", a new spinning ball appears on that line and my Mini display circle changes to the screen where I would put the 4 digit code if one popped up on my iPhone. However, it just keeps spinning until the center display times out and then prompts something like "try again".

When I first tried to pair the phone a few days ago, I thing a 4 digit code may have appeared, but I hit something by accident and it went away. I'm not sure that happened, but I think it did.

Very frustrating to say the least...
