iOS 8.0.2 Did not fix BlueTooth issues!

I see everyone posting ways to fix this but nothing works. It may work for a short while but then goes back to unable to make or rcv calls on BlueTooth in the car.


CNN Has finally picked this issue up. Hopefully Apple will now do something ASAP! I am ready to take my phone back and get a competitors model.


It does not matter how many times you reset all settings or network settings or wipe you cars bluetooth memory or change the phone name, etc. It does not work. I have been struggling with this since launch day of iOS8. I have 2 iPhone 5's with the exact same issue and they had no such issue for 2 years before iOS 8.


For those who post things like "The reset worked for me!" I ask that you shut your phone off or do an iTunes sync or backup and then let us know how it's working. Probably no success. It will revert to the same bluetooth issue.


I am terribly upset over this. I can't believe that Apple of all companies would have such a problem. It should "JUST WORK" but it doesn't. Very sad.

I do hope something gets done this weekend because I am ready to return it and move on to something else. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Apple fan. I have a couple iPads, a MacBook Pro, Apple TV, 2 iPhone 5's, 1 iPhone 5c and an iPhone 6 now. But if this doesn't get fixed soon, I have no choice to dump my phone and move on.


The worst part is that we pay so much for a premium product and I don't expect these "amateur" issues.


Also people forget about going to your car dealership to get a bluetooth update as the Apple support people are telling everyone, including me.


So, please, Apple... Don't leave us hanging like this.

iPhone 6, iOS 8

THis has been driving me mad, ios 8.02, iPhone 5c, vw. I've now managed to fix it - 2 days of it working, so far. Very sinple and does not need a rename and all that. Delete br profile for your car in your phone. In your car, go into the settings menu, restore to factory, then reconnect & pair. Works as it used to now. I think part of the issue is the profile of the player in the vw/audi set up. It may work for other cars. Took about 2 mins, all I had to do was deselect my preference on doors locking, mirrors etc. hope it helps

WWhat kind of crazy crap is that??? I remember the icloud stuff with the iOS Apps (Pages, etc) and documents going haywire because there was some phantom folder in icloud causing the problems, but Bluetooth profiles being conflicted because of a profile in iCloud on a device that may not even be in the vicinity of the BT device??? That doesn't make logical sense, but I will give it a try...

I Seemed to have fixed mine for the time being. Don't know how long it's going to last though!


Settings > General Settings > Reset > Reset Network Settings.


Do not forget to erase the pair from your vehicle and add it again.

Though, this may delete all the wifi connections that you had stored, just add them again.

This worked for me!

I have a iPhone 6 plus (128 gb) and a 2014 GMC Sierra and I have a Bluetooth issue. My phone says it's connected to intellilink and my intellilink will say its connected to my phone. I can make a call but then there is no audio. I have been on the phone with GMC Intellinlink and they are saying it is an Apple issue and that Apple is aware of it and "suppose" to be coming up with a fix. I hope they hurry as I travel a lot with my job and don't like the fact that I can't talk on my truck.

I Thought mine was working all ok but not the case. For some reason the dail tone/ringing someone does not come through the sound system. Only when it it is answered by the other party. So there is no way of knowing if it is working until a voice booms through. If they don't answer it's like it's not working. Very odd. I've tried everything now except a full re-set back to previous version which looks like the only thing to do. If it ain't broke why update?
