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."😕

It worked when I tried it yesterday and then today it failed with my Phone 6. On outgoing calls it rings twice then disconnects. Incoming it doesn't connect at all.

My iPhone 5 still works fine so it's definitely the iPhone 6. Really frustrating.

Was having trouble pairing my phone to car also. Got manual out. You have to add a new phone and not pair it with old one. It will still come up and show you the phone's name when you do this part so don't worry. I'm sure your manual will explain how to pair car with phone that wasn't used before. Good luck!

My iPhone 6 will play calls that I receive and allow me to access my voice-mail messages over my BMW bluetooth, but it won't connect when I dial a call (even when the bluetooth shows a connection, the car bluetooth is listed and selected in my audio connections).

An iPhone 5s continues to pair and work in all cases, so it's definitely the iPhone 6 electronics/software and not the car's bluetooth.

Here's the procedure which worked for both my car and my wife's:

1. In your car go to the Bluetooth, List All Devices, and DELETE the iPhone 6.

2. On your iPhone 6, go to SETTINGS/BLUETOOTH and delete any setting that was associated with your car, such as Car Multimedia or Hands Free, etc .

NOW ALL PREVIOUS CORRUPTED IPHONE AND CAR SETTINGS HAVE BEEN DELETED.

3. On your iPhone go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/RESET/RESET ALL SETTINGS and then press the red "reset all settings" button. (Note: Reset ALL settings. Not just NETWORK settings.)

4. Now, go through the normal procedure to pair your iPhone 6 with your car Bluetooth.

This should work as it did for me twice in two separate cars with two separate iPhones.

"3. On your iPhone go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/RESET/RESET ALL SETTINGS and then press the red "reset all settings" button. (Note: Reset ALL settings. Not just NETWORK settings.) "

This seems to be the key. When I only reset NETWORK settings the fix did not hold.

I'm having the same problem with an iPhone 6+ and Acura TL 2013. It would be nice if Apple would confirm what the problem is, and let users know when there is an expected fix, rather than letting us all rummage around trying different things as a fix. Sounds to me as if restoring your old iPhone to the 6s might just be the problem. Maybe it's copying across settings that it shouldn't. In any case, HELLO APPLE? Could you give us a little love here?

Resetting all settings is NOT a fix, it's a wipe out and start over, and in my case, I won't do it unless it is the last resort. Hope maybe next update (tomorrow I think) has a fix...

Thank you for the tip. This solved my problem. New iPhone 6 blue tooth connection to BMW 2012 335ci was faulty. The phone would dial and as soon as the person said hello, it would drop the call. Very frustrating, but this simple procedure seems to have cured the problem. Thanks again.

I have a 2012 chev Cruze. Just tried to pair with iphone 6 plus and does not work correctly. I do exactly has instructed, enter the code, and then name my connection and get you are now connected. try to make a call and do not hear any dial tone in the vehicle. It looks like it is connecting, the person on the other end is getting my ring, but I cannot hear them and they cannot hear me.. this is truly frustrating. When is the next software update occurring to fix this issue.

Well I did the update and the issue with the 5s remains, no change at all. When making a call using the phone instead of the cars voice system the audio does not change over to the cars audio automatically, you have to select the car on the phone before hearing it through the cars audio. Looks like it has only fixed issues with the iphone 6 & Plus. Yes I have over the last three weeks tried all the suggestions made here many times. And again today I have done the forget and reset without fixing the problem.

It might be a moot point with iOS 8.1 but...

Reset all settings was an inconvenience, but it was worth getting my phone to work.

This will not delete any data. If you’ve got 16GB of music, videos and photos, this option won’t remove it.

When you complete the process, your iPhone will reboot. Despite the scary two step warning, this doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain in tact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy.

I've tried the above steps of resetting the phone settings etc and and deleting the phone entry from the car's bluetooth list. After doing that, I still had the same issue of the audio playback being choppy. I then removed the case on my phone and tried once more connecting without resetting again and it worked. I am guessing it has to do more with the case for the phone than anything else. Either way they need to release a patch soon.

Note: My problem was that the audio was choppy. I have an audi a3 and iphone6. Resetting the phone removed all the apple pay credit and debit cards I added yesterday. So be aware of this before resetting. I had to add all those back and and reverify each one of them.

The OS 8.1 did not solve the problem with SIRI. When I use it to call people from my contact list, it dials and then the network gets disconnected in my Lexus. If I am not using SIRI to call and just selct the phone and dial the Blu Tooth is working fine.

If 8.1 isn't fixing this problem then I suggest for safety reasons you try SETTINGS/GENERAL/RESET/RESET ALL SETTINGS. No data or media will be deleted. This fixed the Bluetooth problem for both my wife's iPhone 6 and mine.

to pair your phone to your car in ios8.1

1. on your phone , you need to be signed into iCloud.

TO check if you are signed in. Go to iCloud on you computer and go to Find my Phone.

3 Now that you are signed into the cloud, go to you car.

start your car. And go to settings>bluetooth and turn Bluetooth on on your phone.

4 Ask your Handsfree system for a list of commands. you want to "Pair" For my car which is a Honda. I had to say "Settings" then "Pair" and then the car told me to put the code of "0000" into the phone

5. The phone the saw my car and wanted the pairing code. Put the code in and then there was the connection.

Hope this helps
