Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
my music plays thru car just fine. Also can receive phone calls. Only problem now is I cannot connect when I make a call. Have to force the connection several times then phone call does not ring before someone answers on other end.
iPhone 5, iOS 8.0.2, Windows 8.1
I have the exact same problem and have had it since iOS 8.0. iOS 8.0.2 and 8.1 had no effect on the issue. I've never had problems pairing, receiving incoming calls through the car, or playing music. The problem is only with outgoing calls. Under iOS 7.x, when you made an outgoing call, the radio would go silent as soon as the outgoing call started ringing and you would hear the ringing through the car's speakers. Now under iOS 8.x, outgoing calls will not go through the car until either the other side picks up or the call goes to voicemail. Only then you are able to manually flip the call to the car's bluetooth. The button has no effect until then. The call will never automatically flip to the car.
Under iOS 7.x:
1. Dial wife.
2. Have conversation.
Under iOS 8.x:
1. Turn down radio.
2. Dial wife.
3. Set call audio to speaker phone.
4. Wait for wife to answer.
5. Tell her to hang on.
6. Route call through the car.
7. Have conversation.
Not only is this new arrangement a pain and a step backwards in terms of functionality, it's also a lot more dangerous when driving. I was hoping iOS 8.1 would address this issue, and maybe it did for some cars, but not for mine.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1
2009 Mazda 6 Grand Touring
The best I can tell the problem still persists on at least Mazda, Honda and Mitsubishi as of 8.1.2.
8.1.3 is here! No bluetooth issues were addressed according to the patch notes, and I can confirm the problem persists on iPhone 6 running 8.1.3 on my 2009 Mazda and 2013 Honda. Everything works fine except outgoing calls.
Same problem here with my 2012 mazda 3 works fine for receiving calls and music even Siri works through Bluetooth system but need to manually change outgoing calls on phone. Thats the reason I brought the car with Bluetooth connectivity
This problem has been going on for too long it needs to be fixed before someone has an accident and get seriously hurt
I've heard some people wouldn't update their phones because of this problem
Heres a thought... How about you just stay off your phone while you're driving...
I Don't use the phone for outgoing calls when I'm driving I make the call before I take off and make sure that it is connected before I start the car
I was commenting on another post I had read where someone had said that's what they do
It doesnt change the fact that it needs to be addressed
Wow one more Mazda Cx-9 2011 owner same issue here it used to work b4 iOS7 (I can't remember).. Incoming fine , outgoing just doesn't work! that cause serious trouble as it take eyes off the road and find the setting and click on Mazda from IPhone using BlueTooth, funny thing , If you were to make a phone call using other app such as Viber it works well on same setting...
Apple Must look @ this ! .. 😠
I'd like to direct your attention to this article: http://bgr.com/2015/03/05/ios-8-2-release-download-change-log-notes/
See the 7th bullet under Bug Fixes. It seems that finally, after 6 months of handling other "higher priority" issues like ringtones and emoji, they've decided to fix this bug. To me, this was the only bug/missing feature since iPhone 3G that ever made me seriously consider switching to Android.
Dear Sasquatch519
Thank you for your feedback, and that link
Yes I did notice :
Fixes a Bluetooth calling issue where no audio is heard until the call is answered
I hope that means our issue is resolved..
But overall I do not have any other issue or complain with iOS or iPhone as of now (3gs,5, & now iphone 6 love it) , sure new
features are welcome overall very well satisfied with their offering wouldn't want to move to Android ..
Finally, after 6 months, Apple has fixed this bug in iOS 8.2. I confirmed outgoing calls are now routing properly through my car.
Solved - iOS 8.2 fixed my problem with outgoing calls (Mazda 6, 2011).
I just got my 2015 Mazda6 yesterday and found that outgoing call is fine but still can't receive any call when I connected my phone to the car via bluetooth........-_-" When my friend call me, it automatically drop the line...................
IOS6+ 8.2
That's strange, I never had any problems with incoming calls on any of the iOS8 versions, but I have read about a wide range of problems with bluetooth and iOS8 in general, so I'm sure someone else out there is in the same boat.
Yep my issue resolved few days ago for outgoing after latest upgrade 8.2 + ip6 .. , I agree I also never had any other issue incoming.. try resetting networking and bluetooth and pair it again.. Good luck..
iOS 8.1 still has Bluetooth issue with mazda
