Car Bluetooth Connectivity Issue with iPhone 6

Just got the iPhone 6 on Friday -- very exciting! But I can't get the phone to connect to my Mini Countryman's bluetooth. The phone will detect the car's bluetooth signal, and says it's connected, but calls aren't audible via the car stereo system, but rather the phone itself. And if I don't turn the bluetooth off, my car thinks I'm on a call and the radio won't work.
It's frustrating because this feature use to work with my 5s. A friend of mine is having the same issue in his car. And I've seen others complain about this -- seems like an Apple issue. Not sure though.

I did what ever everyone suggested, reset all setting, reset network setting, deleting from car memory. It's works fine after you reset it and reconnect to the car with fresh new connection at first, but after I power the phone off and turn it back on, boom the problem comes back. It's got to be a IOS 8 issue. I did this 3 times and I am getting sick and tired of it so I am going to restore and set up as a new iPhone from Itune and wait and see how Apple is going to fix this issue.
I have 3 cars and the Bluetooth is having the same issue on all of them, work first then no more even with the suggest tricks. I hate my iPhone 6 now.

2011 Subaru STI

Oh I forget to mention, My wife's iPhone 5 with IOS 8 have no issue at all with all 3 of the car. Only my iPhone 6.

Anyone noted Bluetooth connection issues with iPhone 4s and Ford sync?

My wifes iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 auto connects to Ford Sync at least 75% of the time on first attempt. My new iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 takes 4-5 attempts and rarely if ever connects without multiple attempts. Any one else seeing issues with failed Bluetooth connections with iPhone 4S phones?

Look at the right panel for links to other threads concerning problems with Fords. And it's not just Fords, cars in general. No solutions seem to be given.

Bluetooth connectivity degrading with iPhone 4

The bluetooth connection to my iPhone 4 has become weak and unreliable over the past week. I use a Sony DR-BT 160AS stereo headset that has been very reliable up until recently. I am having the same intermittent connectivity issue with my Plantronics Voyager PRO, so it seems to indicate the problem is with the iPhone. The connection is good if I have the phone in my hand, but as soon as I try to snap it into my Otter Box belt clip, the sound breaks up, cuts out, and eventually disconnects. I tested this by cupping my hand over the phone and the same problem occurs, indicating a signal send/receive weakness. Any ideas why this would have changed? I have been able to listen to music with the phone on the belt clip since I bought this phone a year ago.

I don't know why this is happening, but I may have found the solution. I leave my iPhone powered on almost constantly. I powered of and back on again and the bluetooth connectivity has been restored to its former strength.

Ios 5.0.1 + Iphone 4 bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

My Iphone 4 will not connect with my new JVC car stereo I have spoken to JVC customer support and they say its an Apple issue that they need to fix (changed something with the bluetooth connection scripts in the latest update update, as they have done before).
The phone finds the stereo and then tries to pair with it, however half way through the pairing process the phone losses connection with the stereo and the pairing is then deleted.
I have deleted all the existing pairing in the phone memory and ensured that the stereo has been rebooted to ensure no conflict of previous installs would effect the process
Does anyone know if Apple are going to fix this glitch in a new softwre update (and if so when is it being released) as at the minute i have an expensive stereo which is cant use to its full ability?

Similar problems occured when Apple released iOS 4 last year. It was NOT fixed with an update from Apple. It was fixed by the system vendors and automakers releasing updates for their equipment. There are ongoing complaints from people with some Toyota built cars (Toyota and Lexus) with some systems as well as some BMW drivers.
I'm willing to bet money that the head unit you have is not fully standards compliant. Unfortunately, getting JVC to admit that is going to be nearly impossible. I suspect they will just quietly issue an update sometime in the next few months. Assuming the head unit can be updated by the end user at all. You may have to resort to an inexpensive visor mount speaker phone in the mean-time.

Bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

Hi,
I have a N8-00, with the current belle software on it.
With my car Bluetooth it will connect and function properly when I first add the device (N8) to the car Bluetooth, but if I turn the ignition off and then back on again it won't pair, if I try to manually do it, it just comes up with error without a code.
Deleting the device and trying to re-pair it wont work unless I restart my phone, and I am unable to turn Bluetooth off on my phone until after restarting it.
This is getting very frustrating.
Please help!!

Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not.
What I have tried:
1) Hard reset
2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

Connectivity issue with iPhone 3GS and Time capsule 7.6.1

I've upgraded the firmware of my Time Capsule. Now i have WiFi connectivity problems with my iPhone 3GS. My iMac and two iPads (version 1 & 2) are doing fine.
Very strange in this situation is when I at a rare moments are able to connect my iphone to the wifi my iPad2 connection falls out. But after a minute or 2 the system disconnects my iphone and reconnect my ipad.
For info: I'm using an iMac 27" 3.4 Intel Core i7 with Mac OS 10.7.3 - all software is updated.
Thanks for reaction
Stephan

The iphone is very sensitive to channel selection..
Open the airport utility manual settings.. Go to the wireless.. change its name to something simple without spaces.. TC24 would do nicely.
Set the wireless to b/g a/n so it works with everything .. not auto.
And set the channels manually.. 2.4ghz (which iphone uses) set channel to either 1, 6, 11.. these are the only channels that do not overlap..
Try and see if the iphone connects..
Set security.. WPA2 personal and put in a suitable key.. pure alphanumeric no spaces.

Bluetooth connectivity issue with the car hand free

I started having a problem when I updated my software to the latest version. The Bluetooth is keep connecting and disconnecting in an annoying way once I start any music with my mobile Z3 device.

You may need to remove the handset from car's Bluetooth memory, then re-add it. Also, remove the car from the handset's Bluetooth memory, then re-add.

Help How do I get car bluetooth to work with iphone

I just bought a Santa Fe with bluetooth but when I try to pair my 3GS iPhone it will pair then gets disconnected. Does anyone know why?

I have a 2010 Hyundai Tucson and I have intermittent problems with the bluetooth using my iphone. It's a 32GB 3GS with ios 4.0. I had no problems pairing it.
Most of the time, everything works great but about 20% of the time I try to use the bluetooth and the NAV screen indicates that there was a dialing error. The weird thing is that the phone menu on the NAV screen always shows 'connected' and through the speakers I can hear the phone dial, but then the error appears on the NAV screen (phone menu). What's strange is that the phone itself continues dialing but the call doesn't transmit through the bluetooth. I have to manually use the phone at that point.
It also has a tendency to lock up the NAV screen for a couple of minutes afterward, meaning I can't switch back to XM. When this happens and I look on the bluetooth menu on the phone itself under 'Tucson', the phone says "Not Connected".
This happens when the phone is connected via the USB/Aux cable as well as when it's sitting in my pocket.

Mac Mini Bluetooth Connections Issues with Airport Extreme

Hi,
The issue I'm having is my apple bluetooth devices will not connect to my mac mini. This problem started a few weeks ago and i have narrowed it down to my Airport Extreme which is right next to my Mac Mini. I have tried adjusting the channels and removing the Wide channel option on the Airport Extreme this has helped I can use my magic pad (not really up to par but it works). When I disconnect my Airport all my bluetooth devices work great. Moving my airport extreme isn't an option without a large amount of work putting in a new cable outlet. I don't know what changed from a few weeks ago as the devices have always been within inches of each other and worked fine.
I was trying to find a way to disable the 2.4 band on the airport extreme but this for as far as i know can't be done. I'm running out of ideas on what to do next any help would be great.

Are you sure it's not the monitor? Monitors have been known to do this.
Try changing the broadcast channel on the AEX using the Airport Utility.

Bluetooth Connectivity Issue with Apple Blue Tooth Keyboard

I have a blue tooth keyboard paired with my MacBook. I recently installed the latest Apple update and restarted the computer. When it fully rebooted, the keyboard was never picked up. I went into the system preferences to go through the blue tooth settings and tried to repair it or search for wireless devices. When I searched for devices, it picked up the keyboard, but when I tried to pair them, I got an error saying the keyboard was out of range and could not be connected to. I changed the batteries, turned it on and off, but still no results.
Any ideas?
I also have a bluetooth Apple Mighty Mouse which works fine, it's just the keyboard.

I know you may feel that you've already done this, but just try me.
I'm assuming you have installed 10.4.8, and all applicable security updates for your Mac- if not, please do, before you try the below.
Remove any pairing with your keyboard in your system preferences, and turn off all the bluetooth settings, including bluetooth itself. Make sure your Mighty Mouse is off, and will not be connected during this process.
-Shut down your Mac, and make sure the keyboard is off.
-Turn on your Mac, and when it's booted, open Bluetooth preferences, and turn Discoverable on.
-Go to the devices tab, and click on the 'Set up New Device' button in the lower right corner.
-When prompted, say yes to turn Bluetooth on.
-The Bluetooth assistant will begin.
-Select Keyboard from the list of devices.
-*Turn on your keyboard now, and then select continue.
Hopefully it will find your keyboard now, and you can continue to pair the keyboard with your Mac. When done, go back into Bluetooth preferences and turn Discoverable off, enable any other setting you would like, and under the device tab, select the keyboard, and click Add To Favourites.
I hope you're up and working~!
If not, we'll work on a Level 2 solution!

Internet connection issue with Iphone 3G

Hi there,
I have this Iphone for more than 2 years now and I've been using it in France, USA and Australia without problem. Since i'm in England, the internet doesn't want to work anymore. Even at home, with the proper internet key (as it works with my laptop), the iphone says that it's impossible to join the stuff. I've tried to reset the connection settings as i saw on a forum that it could be the solution, but it's still not working.
Can you please help me?

You don't give a lot of detail on your WiFi network but here are some thoughts:
You mention "internet key". There is no internet key to connect to WiFi. There is a password to connect to your router but this has nothing to do with the internet. Are you sure that you are using the correct password?
Is WEP security being used? If so, how many characters are in the password? If WEP-40 is used the length should be 5 characters, if WEP-128 is used the length should be 13 characters. If a different length password is used then the password is hashed using an algorithm which differs between Operating Systems. This could be causing problems.
Remember also that upper/lower case is significant in passwords, e.g. aBc is not the same as abC.
If you have a password consisting just of the digits 0-9 and letters a, b, c, d, e, f then this is a hexadecimal password and should be prefixed with a $ sign when entered.
See these links for more information:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1344
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1126
If you are using WEP you should be aware that it has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).
If none of this applies please give some information on your network, i.e., router make, model and version, security type being used (WEP. WPA, WPA2), MAC filtering enabled, etc.
Good luck.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook. Constantly dropping internet connection or message "error connecting to the network" comes up. No wireless connectivity issues with windows 7 laptop or iphone.

I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The last few weeks it has been constantly dropping internet connection, and one of these messages appear on the page: "Safari cannot open this page because the server where this page is located isn't responding" or "Safari cannot open this page because you are not connected to the internet" comes up. I will check Wifi and I am connected. No wifi connectivity issues with iphone or windows 7 laptop, this doesn't happen with either of those devices. I have unplugged and reset router, cleared cache, still happening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
