iPhone 6 not connecting to car Bluetooth

Try changing the name of your phone in Settings -> General -> About -> Name and see if that helps.

If you try the above first and it still doesn't work then try Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings.

Good luck!

Went to Acura dealer yesterday and they feel Apple and Acura will have the problems solved soon. We've decided holding off loading 8.01-2 or upgrading to a 6 for awhile until we see all issues resolved.

I have an Infinity and I can't get the 6 to connect to the audio system. I can make calls and see my contacts but no music or audio books that are on the iPhone. I've tried every solution that's been posted here and none of them work for me. I appreciate all the help others have provided. I hope Apple will start providing some solutions soon.

I've now had this problem with TWO iPhone 6's, mine and my wife's. The only way I was able to resolve the issue with my phone was to take it back to the Apple store and get a new phone. My wife's iPhone 6 initially did connect to her car, but now the problem is, as many have stated here, that the music player connects perfectly but there are various issues with connecting cell phone service from the phone to the car. I have a temporary solution to this. In your Bluetooth car settings you should be able to disconnect the phone while leaving the player as is. This will allow you to make and take calls in your car but without using your car's Bluetooth function -- you'll have to use the phone manually. However the player will still work. Hopefully Apple will have a fix soon for this issue, because once you have it, there is NO solution except the poor temp solution I found.

iPhone5 with 8.0.2 > Bluetooth works with my new Audi RS4.

Got iPhone6 with 8.0.2 two days ago > Bluetooth not even finds my car ;-(

Before iPhone6 and iOS7 I was always confident with Apple. You could buy blind.

But now, everybody is bricking with Updates their Phones or have lots of trouble with upgrade.

Next time I wait and think twice before buying again.

I don't think its iPhone 6, I more than positive its OS 8 or OS8.02 even. I have iPhone 5S and using speed dial works, but SIRI doesn't. It finds the contact, tries to dial and I see Audio FF, followed by network terminated on my dash board.

I hope Apple got the message and fixes the issue in the next OS8.1

Yes! I believe you've found the key: Settings/General/Reset All Settings. I did this with my wife's and my iPhone 6's and both are now working Hands Free with a solid Bluetooth connection for phone and music. I also did this same procedure on my iPad Air and it solved the Bluetooth issue I was having with my Bose Mini speaker. So for now unless things muck up again this seems to alleviate the problem. Thanks!

Not before time but still nothing official from "deny everything Apple" it seems that 8.1 should be out around the 16th of this month and I quote

"Alongside Apple Pay, iOS 8.1 is expected to include a host of bug fixes for issues in iOS 8, including a fix for Bluetooth connectivity problems. "

Great to know, I hate messing with iPhone reset and other experiments. Apple always is rushing to release the new OS, in order to compete with Samsung or other companies, which is OK. That's why I always try upgrade or buy their devices a few months after the release. This time I did not, which made me waste my time running from dealership and calling the maker of the car tech support. The last place on my list to call, was the Apple Support, but the online support save my time in calling Apple.

Thanks!

I am also having problems with my iPhone 6 and 2010 GMC Sierra. The phone connects to the system but the phone doesn't work properly when making calls. I can't hear the person and they can't hear me. I had zero previous problems with my iPhone 5 on iOS 7. I hope 8.1 fixes the issue because this is very frustrating.

I have this problem too in my Infiniti. No phone calls, but bluetooth streams music and even lets SIRI talk over car audio, but no phone call. I was even able to make the audio for a face time go over the car audio, but not a standard phone call. Reset phone, deleted phone from car and re-paired. No luck.

Hi All,

I have similar problem as you guys mentioned above. I have installed IOS 8 on my iPhone 5 preivously and it works perfect to handle calls and music through my BT on my car Audi A5. When i got the iPhone 6 updated version 8.0.2 i can only run the music to the car BT but can't handle calls anymore! so i can only hear the caller from the iPhone headset

I doubt this problem from the iOS or from my Car BT, but i wish it's a problem on IOS software on iPhone 6 only so they can solve it in coming update! please if you found a solution for this please share it with me!

Thanks,

I have this problem with my Infinity but just the opposite: I can make phone calls and my contacts all download to the car. But I can't hear my music or books that are on the iPhone 6. I also did not have this problem with my iPhone 5, updated with IOS 8. I have to conclude it's an iPhone 6 problem and that might be harder to fix than if it were related to software. But....what do I know?

Dear mblack,

Thank you very much. I have a 2011 RX350. The iPhone 6 would pair and work for the phone, but not for music. I was not a happy camper! I did exactly as you directed, and now the phone and music work via bluetooth.

Thanks Red 2. Your recommendations worked for me.🙂 The only thing I added that I saw in another forum was to lock and unlock my car after turning off the ignition. I don't know if that was necessary though.😕
