Audi iOS 8 bluetooth issue

Prior to getting my new iPhone6 I upgraded my iPhone5 to iOS8 and started to notice issues making calls using the Audi MMI.
Basically the whenever the phone connects via bluetooth the MMI shows the last dialed number re-dialing and locks up.
Looking at the phone there is no call in progress.
Just got my iPhone 6 yesterday that same problem is present!
I DID see many posts about similar issues with other cars. Just wondering if there is a work around or if we need to wait for Apple to address this with each auto manufacturer?
I will tinker with this issue and post back here if I find any work around to solve the issue before either an update from Audi or Apple comes out.
Love the new iPhone aside from this issue.

See this post for a Fix that did NOT work in my specific case, however it may work for others.

Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1

I am facing the Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1 iphone.In ios 7.0 it works fine without any problem.I am using the EA framework for reading/writing the data in my application.Still I have not got any correct solution for this scenario. I am having a doubt that this issue is happening as because of EA framework which I am using it or do i need to change any settings.Could someone tell me the solution for this problem?

1.I am using an external Bluetooth kit by which I will send the command through my iphone application.I will communicate with the external Kit through a command that writes and reads the data using External Accessory framework.In lower version except IOS 7.1 i was able to communicate properly without any issues.In EA framework implementing a delegate method I could able to write/read a data.
2) Right now I am facing an issue only in ios 7.1 where I was not able to read any data from the external Bluetooth Kit.I have researched regarding this issue in all the sites I got to know some information that because of EA framework issue in ios 7.1 where I am able to communicate.But still I have a confusion that its happening because of EA framework or any other ios issues.

IOS 8 Bluetooth issue Plantronics PLT_M20 headset

I Installed IOS 8 on my 4S IPhone. I noticed that I could not pick up a call nor could I end it using the connect button on the device. I am still able to touch longer to get Siri.. I know this is an IOS 8 Issue. i did forget the device and re-paired it but still Unable to pick up/hang up calls.

Have to ask the obvious first. Did you try deleting the pairing from the iPhone and pair the devices again? It has been a fairly common iOS upgrade issue that you need to delete and then pair your Bluetooth devices again AFTER upgrading.

AUDI Car Bluetooth pairing issue after 1.1.1

Hello-
I've got a 2007 Audi with Bluetooth in my radio. The bluetooth was paired ok before the most recent update. Now I cannot get the bluetooth to pair again. I have tried resetting the pin code on the car, reset the car factory settings, restarted the car and iphone a number of times. When I turn BT "On" for the phone, it says searching for devices. It just spins and spins and nothing happens.
This is pretty frustrating since the first version of the iPhone was completely incompatible with Audi's bluetooth. (connection died when the phone locked) The 2nd update they seemed to have fixed the BT issue for Audi. And now with the 3rd update I can't even pair at all. ***?
Anyone else have this same issue and have any suggestions?
Thanks

I have an A6 with the bluetooth feature. It worked pre and post 1.1.1 however you mentioned you turned your bluetooth back ON after the upgrade.? Maybe that created the issues. I have not changed my BT setting from when I first connect to the Audi. Now I may not ever turn off BT.

IOS 4.3 still did not fix the bluetooth issue

I am still unable to pair up my bluetooth stereo headphones with my iPhone 4. I originally had it paired up back when my iPhone 4 was running 4.0, but ever since iOS 4.2.1, I've been unable to pair up anything with my bluetooth. Does the Apple Corporation even look at these posts? Anybody else having bluetooth issues?

Actually, I would be very surprised to find out that Apple does not read these forums. A smart company would monitor discussion about their products, especially on a sight they sponsor, to gain insight on how to improve their product and or customer service. However, you should always file your complaint through the proper channels. I have had a few minor glitches between my iPhone 4 and my Jawbone Icon but things seem significantly better...so far. It just angers me that Apple has not admitted to any kind of bluetooth connectivity problem. This experience has completely tainted any kind of positive experiences from my iPhone 3G. I'm very likely to try a Droid or Blackberry when I upgrade again.

IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

Ok here is my findings:
Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
(note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well. Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
Good luck.

IPhone 6 Bluetooth Issues

It might be a bit early for this question, but I'll try anyway:
I just got an iPhone 6, and have issues using handsfree (voice calls) in my 2011 VW Jetta SE. I'm able to successfully pair the device with the car, but when I try to dial from the phone it doesn't "connect" with the car speaker / mic system and just calls the person directly from the phone. I'm able to use the steering wheel buttons to give a dial command in which it dials the number, but once the party connects the call drops off the car system, and is on the phone. If someone tries to call me the VW radio show telephone as its ringing, and the speaker have a ringing sound. But, when I try to hit the phone button on the steering wheel to answer there is no response.
I don't believe this is an iOS 8 issue, because I used handsfree with with my 5S on iOS 8 just fine.
Any thoughts?
Jason

Love Apple but I have got to draw your attention to the issues your iPhone 6 & 6 plus are experiencing including myself. The following heading on the iMore web forum just about sums it up. I have also posted on it as 'sharr104' with my experiences with the new device.
Heading as posted:
'Why isn't my iPhone 6 not working in handsfree via bluetooth in honda accord 2011?'
Much like all others have posted here I have the same issue with a 2012 Audi A8 & 2012 Chrysler Grand Voyager.
please sort ASAP

8.2 iPhone 6 + bluetooth issue

Up until 8.2, my bluetooth connectivity with my VW Passat was just fine. I could stream music, make calls using the steering wheel controls, etc. When a call came in, music would cut out, caller id would show on the phone and I could answer the call using the steering wheel controls.
This worked for my iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPhone 6+ up until this latest iOS update (8.2)
Now, when a call comes in, my car will ring, the phone stays with a black screen. After 2 rings, my iPhone 6+ begins to ring and the caller id shows. If I was using the music app, the music will cut out when the phone rings (as it should), but as soon as the phone is answered, the music begins playing again over the call.
I can no longer make a call using the steering wheel controls. After saying 'call' then the name, the car disconnects the phone. Again, this has never happened with any of the iterations of iOS with iPhones and this car up until 8.2
I can, however, make calls using the iPhone 6+ and Siri, using the car speaker and mic.
I've noticed other glitches in iOS 8 (all versions) but this bluetooth issue is most annoying and dangerous. It has now removed Hands Free from my car and forced me to use the handset if calls are made or come in.
Has anyone else seen similar issues on 8.2? I've cleared the Bluetooth settings and restarted the phone many times and I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

Yes, I have exactly the same problem with all our VW & Volvo at work. iOS 8.1 iphone 6 & 6+ Bluetooth 4.0
now, we have bought some other smart phone with latest 4G+ technology : no more problems good connectivity
we used old iphone 4 with iOS 5.1.1: the Bluetooth connectivity was fine, but no 4G+!!

IPhone 4: Bluetooth Issues - Hands Free Phone in vehicle

All,
This is my first Apple post. I usually go out and Google and find/figure things out on my own, but I am stumped!
I recently upgraded my wife to an iPhone 4 16gb Black from an iPhone 3GS 8gb. With the 3GS, we were able to pair the phone with our 2011 Toyota Highlander with bluetooth capability, giving me nearly 9 month pregnant wife the ability to stream audio to her stereo, but more importantly she was able to make/receive calls in her car using the hands free.
We were able to go through the setup like we did with the 3GS to pair it. It pairs up just fine. However, the only thing that works is the audio streaming. She cannot access the phone for calling/receiving calls with the vehicle. When a call comes in, I remember the 3GS having a bluetooth headset option that showed up, but as long as the bluetooth was on in the car, the stereo would automatically pick up the call and she could talk to the car and hear the call through the speakers.
I have read that the iPhone 4 had bluetooth issues with older IOS versions, but she is on 4.3.3 currently. Again, audio streaming her music works, just not the phone. What gives?

Hey Shane!
You could always try going to Toyota and see if there is a firmware upgrade available for your car. Even though your car is new, there are always firmware releases available.
New Phones don't always work with older firmwares in new Car Stereos. With Technology changing everyday you want to make sure your always update on all devices involded.

Keynote remote will not pair with ipad after update to 10.7.2-bluetooth issue or remote app issue?

Noticed keynote remote will not pair after updating. Bluetooth light flashes a couple of times then goes off. I'm wondering if it's a bluetooth issue or a keynote remote app issue.
Any suggestions or remedies?
thanks

Then again, it may not.
I've tried all the things recommended in the Apple KB article, and it doesn't work. Mulderscully is right, in the recent iOS 5 upgrade, Bluetooth is not turned on (at least, its symbol is not visible) from within Keynote even if you turned it on in the Settings menu. Posts in another thread recommended using another app to establish a Bluetooth connection between the iPad and iPod (I used Touch Rummy), then switching back to Keynote and Keynote Remote. This does work for me, but it is an awkward workaround. Shouldn't 'It just work'?

Bluetooth issues w/ IPhone 6 & Chevy Traverse

I Had the iPhone 5 and my Bluetooth worked great in my Chevy traverse. Now that I have the iPhone 6 I am experiencing constant issues with the Bluetooth and traverse functions. The phone number shown on incoming and outgoing calls does not match the actual number, the vehicle buttons don't answer incoming calls, the Bluetooth connection seems to drop after you make the 1st call once connected (2nd call made requires disconnect and reconnect to work). Is any one else experiencing Bluetooth issues with their vehicle or with the Chevy traverse? Anyone know how to fix these issues?
thanks,
Robert

Hello Rjshimanek3,
I have an issue with bluetooth on iPhone 6 Plus not working properly with my car as well. My iPhone 5 worked fine with the car. My iPhone 5 used to have iOS 7.1 and it worked. I upgraded my iPhone 5 to 8.0 (a few days before iPhone 6/6+ available in the store) and it also worked. Now my iPhone 6 plus did not seem to work with my car BT properly. If I play music, I can hear the sound through my speakers. However, when I placed a phone call using BT in the car, it dialed out but as soon as the call is connected, the audio source (as seen from the iPhone 6 plus screen) switched from car BT to just "iPhone". Most of the times now when I tried to connected my iPhone 6 Plus to the car BT, my car menu is frozen like the phone is dialing out, which it is not doing. So I have to turn off BT of the iPhone 6 Plus in the car.
Here are a few things that I tried
> I tried to delete the bluetooth device from my car and repaired it and it did not work
> I tried to reset network settings from the iPhone 6 plus and repaired it with the car BT and it did not work
> I tried to restart the iPhone 6 plus and repaid it with car BT and it did not work
> I upgraded iPhone 6 plus to latest iOS 8.0.2 and it did not work with my car BT
> I tried my iPhone 6 plus on another car (same make though, different model) and similarly can't make phone call and car menu frozen with "dialing" on the screen.
I would like to try my car BT with another iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 + which I don't have so I can see if it's my particular iPhone 6 plus or the car. At this point, I am thinking.
I'd like to hear if others are having issue with Bluetooth on iPhone 6/6+
thanks

Droid 3 Bluetooth Issues

I am on my second Droid 3, and both displayed the same Bluetooth Issues:
When attached to the cars bluetooth system (2010 Audi A6), all of a sudden, Bluetooth drops. The call is still active, and the bluetooth indicator on the keypad is still lit. In order to get the phone to reconnect to the car, I have to power it off and then on.
About one out of every 5 calls with Plantronics Voyager Pro headset, the volume will be very low, both inbound and outbound. I noticed when that happens, sound is also coming out of the Droid 3 speaker and the Headset at the same time and it seems as if both microphones are working (People can hear me better if I speak into the phone - while my headset is active!).
Sometimes disconnecting bluetooth and reconnecting it (via the dial keypad) cures the issue, other times I have to POPO (power off, power on) the phone.
To make sure it was not my car or my headset, I reactivated my old phone, HTC Touch Pro 2 and never had an issue in 3 days of solid use.
I need bluetooth to work reliably. I called Verizon Tech Support and beyond swapping out the phone, not much help.
I double checked all of my settings in my car and in the Droid 3's BT menu, all to no avail.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I thought I was leaving reliability issues behind when I got a Droid (instead of windows in HTC Touch Pro 2)
Thanks in advance.

Hello again. Haven't had time to follow up at the Verizon store yet. When I was there one of the techs had just purchased a Droid 3 for herself. We all watched while she opened the box and fired it up, etc. Straight out of the box it exhibited the same issue. She and I went over it for a while and exchanged emails & cell numbers. She was obviously concerned and promised to follow up and let me know. She follows these forums as well.
A couple of observations.. If the screen is locked with bluetooth on and an incoming call comes in the headset will work fine. Only when trying to make an outgoing call with the screen locked /off by pressing the headset button for voice commands does the mic fail to activate. Seems like the handset allows the headset to "wake up" the phone, but something fails to complete in the process.
While at the store we tried the headset on one of the floor demo phones and it worked! But apparently that phone had an older version of the software. BTW, my "system version" is 5.5.959.XT862. Im guessing if the older software didn't have this bug a fix should be relatively easy in a future software update. PROVIDING they get the message. I'm kinda new to this and I'm having a hard time posting up on the other forums.
In the meantime the short-term fix is to remember to hit the unlock button on the top of the phone before you hit the call button on your headset. Only one more button push, but quite a hassle if the phone is buried somewhere in your purse or pocket. Which sort of defeats the purpose of using the headset while driving to place calls.
It would be interesting to hear if others out there can duplicate this issue..

I need help with BlackBerry 8820's bluetooth issue

Hi!
Please accept my appology of my poor English.
My 8820 has a bluetooth issue with Bluedio E9+ headset. It must be note that the headset works well with another phone (not BlackBerry). My BlackBerry can't actively connects to bluetooth headset by the method 'Menu' key > 'Connect' option, but still able to receives connection request from the headset and pairs with the headset when i choose Yes. At this point I can use bluetooth function for data transfering, Voice Dialing and music playback (i.e. mp3 files). But each time I try a mp4 file with default video player in Media folder, its audio will never work with the bluetooth function, and the phone's speakers is automatically enabled. I try the menu when the video was playing, but there are only Activate Handset and Active Speakerphone options. Then I was converted the file with BlackBerry Video Converter Pro; I remove and reinsert the battery; I wipe the phone and install new ROM,... But none of them work.
Please help!

Satellite U500 - Bluetooth issues BT Monitor vs. Bt Stack

Hello everyone,
My wife's machine is a Satellite U500-10L PSU5EE-002003AR, now with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (originally with Vista pre-installed, later with W7Pro 32-bit.)
Now, I've always had various issues with Bluetooth on this machine, and it's the only machine I've ever had Bluetooth issues with, mostly having to do with internet connectivity via mobile phones.
Most usually, I connect to the internet using Sony Ericsson PC Suite and a Bluetooth-controlled Sony Ericsson mobile phone (currently and Elm, and occasionally a Hazel or a C702.) This setup has always worked flawlessly on every other machine I've used, such as my Getac B300, the old HP Compaq 6710b given to me by my previous employer for a couple of years, and even my untrustworthy old Thinkpad T42 (now deceased), and my mother's ancient Macbook. With those machines, I've never had any trouble connecting to any of the phones or to the internet, with no drops, connection issues or any other issues.
Not so with this U500. I'm writing this while connected through PC Suite, with Bluetooth Monitor 4 as the hardware controller. The connection is intermittent at best, usually unreliable, and sometimes downright impossible. Sometimes it works flawlessly for days on end, and sometimes it just refuses to work. Generally, though, I get a connection more often than not, but the issue is annoying nevertheless.
Now, I tried a different approach: I uninstalled Bluetooth Monitor and SE PC Suite, installed the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and tried to connect to the internet directly through the BT Stack. I paired the Elm to the U500 successfully from the BT Stack control panel and managed to dial the connection, so far so good. But I had no internet access whatsoever. Now, the phone shows that it's actually connected, and so does the BT Stack control panel and the Windows 7 connectivity monitor in the system tray, but there's no actual access to the internet (I only get the little yellow triangle with the +no internet access+ message, but the phone is dialed in.)
So, I tried reinstalling PC Suite (with BT Stack present), and things got even worse: now the BT connection itself between PC Suite and the phone is only sporadic and intermittent, but sometimes it just works well enough to actually get a connection (albeit an unreliable one.)
So now I've uninstalled the BT Stack, reinstalled BT Monitor and went back to using PC Suite for dialing, and the same issues I mentioned earlier still persist.
Now, my two questions are these: a. why didn't I get any internet access with BT Stack, even though the phone was actually dialed in to the connection? and b. assuming the internet access issue is resolved, would I possibly get a more reliable connection (i.e. one that doesn't suddenly decide to drop every so often) with BT Stack instead of the PC Suite/BT Monitor setup?
Thanks in advance.

Just an update: I've found that as long as there is a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, there would be no issues. The Bluetooth connectivity issue only starts to appear whenever there's something - anything - in the way between the two.
Let me clarify. Now I'm sitting at my desk, with the U500 right in front of me, while the mobile phone is hanging from a nail in the wall above me and to the left. Now that there's a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, I have no issues at all.
Now, let's say I take the U500 off the desk, put in on my lap, and turn my back to the phone. In this case, my head and torso would be in the way of a direct line of sight between the two, and the stability of the connection begins to deteriorate, and it becomes very unreliable - sometimes even dropping the Bluetooth connection altogether (Sony Ericsson PC Suites goes all gray on me!)
Here's another example: there's a printer sitting on the desk right to my left. Now, if I stack up a bunch of magazines on top of the printer, high enough to be within the line of sight, I will start having issues!
So, I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth connectivity issue, and has nothing to do with the internet connection or firewall. It's clearly a hardware quality issue.
By contrast, I never experienced any such issue with my B300, the HP Compaq 6710b I had earlier, or even with my now-deceased ThinkPad T42. Hell, I might as well have gone into a different room entirely and still maintained a Bluetooth connection with those three machines! With the Toshiba, though, as soon as I carry the thing out the door - which is about four feet from the phone - the connection is gone!

Bluetooth Issue ENVY dv7 C2Y65AV After Win 8.1 to Win 7 Downgrade

My laptop is an ENVYdv7 C2Y65AV
It originally came with Windows 8.0, and I upgraded later to 8.1.
I never liked 8.0 or 8.1 so I “downgraded” to Windows 7 Professional. I did my research, realizing there may be issues. I downloaded drivers, bought a new hard drive, etc.
All went better than expected and I am happy with the “downgrade”, save for 1 issue.
1- I am having difficulty getting my Bluetooth to connect completely to any of my devices (headphones or headset).
My WiFi works well, I believe the Bluetooth 4.0 is part of the Intel Centrino WiFi card . When connecting any Bluetooth device, it does show in the Bluetooth devices screen. It will discover it and “connect” to it, but nothing happens when I try to use them. The sound still comes from the laptop speakers.
I have the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 BNHMW that came with the laptop. It worked well with Windows 8.1. All my Bluetooth devices paired easily with the laptop when Windows 8.1 is running.
I have been to Intel's website, made sure my driver for the wireless card for Windows 7 is the correct and latest version. They have a software utility that installs on your laptop, then searches and downloads the correct, latest version.
I downloaded all the drivers for this downgrade from HP's (this) website's software and driver support section. What a great resource this site is!
Suggestions? Advice?
I appreciate any help!
Thank you,
James
P.S.
An interesting thing about Windows 8.1.
When I installed Windows 7 Professional, I bought a new SSD hard drive just for this purpose. I had saved my pulled hard drive with Windows 8.1 on it just in case this downgrade didn't fare well.
Just for grins, I added it as a second hard drive (later) in case I needed to get missed files.
When I rebooted my laptop, I went into the boot manager, and selected my primary drive with Windows 7. It booted up normally.
Then seconds after booting, a message popped up saying I needed to reboot for the changes to take effect. I didn't recall making any, but figured something had updated?
So I did. I rebooted and Windows 8.1 took over, and changed files on my SSD hard drive (win 7 drive) that ultimately disabled that drive from booting Windows 7.
Trying to boot into the Windows 7 hard drive froze right after the Windows 7 splash screen.
I pulled the plug on the Windows 8.1 hard drive, rebooted to Windows 7. Before I could though, it had to scan the hard drive for changes, and correct them. Then Windows 7 booted up normally.
This Windows 8.1 sure is controlling. Can you say “Hal” from the movie “2001 A Space Odessay”
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank You Pepe999,
This Bluetooth issue has been resolved by following your suggestion and replacing my WiFi/ Bth card with a new Intel AC 7260.
Worked like a charm...Thank you!
Now my Windows 7 "downgrade" is complete. ALL is working, and working better for me than the windows 8.0 an later 8.1 it had.
