iPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

happy to hear! i'm on day 4, constantly trying to find people in my contact to call because my wife is tired of being my testbed... lol.

Thank you tflemin2, this is exactly what I've seen with my Jeep Cherokee. The steps you describe work until you reboot or sync with iTunes then the problem comes back. This must be an IOS 8 bug.

Yes, all the devices are using iOS 8.0.2, but I have them next to each other, with BT on, but they're not connecting with one another. Any suggestions?

try turning bluetooth off, then back on. if still not shown, power cycle (turn off and back on) all devices and check again.

initially mine didn't work either, but after i power cycle my iphone 6, my ipad showed up under the bluetooth menu.

Well, nothing has worked. I guess I'll have to wait until Apple updates iOS 8.

I'm hoping that Krakor has heard something back from Apple. After experiencing very similar problems with the bluetooth set-up in my motorcycle helmet I began searching the forum for a fix. I have a 5S and the bluetooth worked GREAT prior to iOS8. Earlier today, about 40 minutes ago, I decided to open up a support "case" with Apple, choosing to chat with someone directly about the problem. I'm still still looking at the cheerful, "You're all set we'll be with you in about two minutes" message on my screen!

I Suspect no resolution will come soon. I have a 2012 Passat and everything worked great on my iPhone 5 in the car I upgraded to iOS8 and now if I try to connect the phone via Bluetooth, it just rings and rings in the car but there is no actual phone call and I cannot "hang up". the good news at least for me is that my phone contract is soon up and i'll just switch back to a blackberry. Apple has shown quite clearly here (and with Maps) that they are more interested is rushing out software than ensuring they release a product that is actually decent.

I miss Steve Jobs!!

I have a 2013 Passat with RNS510 and mine has been working for a week now.

I also use a VW system on my Golf , i was able to fix it by following procedures described on this thread. did you try the solutions suggested here including apple's support bulletin ?

I'VE tried without success. As I mentioned, everything worked great before the update. I travel for work and this is unacceptable.

I have most everything working after jumping through hoops with deleting iCloud profiles and not making current back-ups or cycling my phone, etc.

Even with all of this the controls on the car for music audio still don't work. The next back, fwd, volume, etc. They work from the phone but not from the cars dash control or the steering wheel.

This not ready for prime time release is not acceptable.

Though I get it. Microsoft gets jumped on because they can't foresee, in alpha or beta, all the combinations the OS will have to deal with. Apple had an advantage because they kept everything propriety so that limited the possible combinations, thus you had a better performing OS at initial release. Now that Apple runs and interacts with all sort of third party apps and hardware there are going to be these initial roll out major bugs the OS is going to be dealing with.

So Apples OSx and iOS will get hit with the same thing Windows gets tagged with, "Don't use it until version X.1".

Solution Found? Maybe..

I followed the steps laid out in:

They didn't work. I had to do 1 other thing:

However, I think it was Pantherman on this forum who said to make sure that all active devices signed into my iCloud account showed up in my Bluetooth settings on my iPhone 6. And I found that one of these active devices (an iPhone 5S) was not appearing in my iPhone 6 Bluetooth settings.

So, on the active device (iPhone 5S) that was not appearing in my Bluetooth device list, I logged out of iCloud and logged back in. After I did that, the 5S showed up in my iPhone 6 Bluetooth device list. My iPhone 6 Bluetooth device menu now shows all active iCloud-registered devices.

Now, my phone and Bluetooth audio both work on my Mercedes C350.

I am not sure if it will continue to work. I will let everyone know.

well, i am happy to report that my iphone 6 continues to work with my 2013 passat with RNS 510. it has been over a week now.

i've synced my iphone with my desktop (itune) many times already.

i'm pretty confident that the problem is with other devices that are signed in with the same apple id not showing up in the iphone 6, and the unusued devices not deleted from "find my device" in icloud.com.

these are 2 specific steps in the apple support link that should be followed.....

i still see many people having problem with bluetooth and their hands free system. i hope they read this support page and give it a try.

Yes! This worked perfectly. Thank you.

No , I was referring to my car phone.
