IPhone 6 on iOS 8.1 no longer connects to car's bluetooth

I got the iPhone 6 about 4 weeks ago and the weekend after getting it, I was able to get my Infiniti dealership to hook my iPhone 6 to my FX35's bluetooth system so I can make hands-free calls.
I just had my FX serviced this past weekend and now my 6 will not connect to the bluetooth in the car. I tried a friend's Moto X and it connected and discovered it fine. I even hooked my bluetooth earpiece to my 6.
Am I doing something wrong here? Or does iOS 8.x still have lingering bluetooth problems?

Update: It actually hooks fine. However, I cannot call out, but people can call in.

ITunes automatically starts playing when iPhone 5 (w iOS 7.0.2) is connected to car radio via an Apple cable

I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.2, regardless it is the most recent update
When I plug my phone into my car radio's USB port (Apple cable, not knock off) iTunes starts to play the very first song in my large iTunes library.
I plug into the USB port to charge it and to connect the phone to radio in order to use hands free audio.
I have tried two or three different cables, it happens with all cables and again all are actual Apple cables.
I do not recall this happening with iOs 6 or at least as much.
With iOs 7 it happens every f***ing time. Extremely annoying and dangerous (I may get so frustrated by this that one day I might just smash the phone or the car radio :-) to the equipment.
I have to unlock my phone, go to iTunes and pause or stop the song/iTunes.
The app does not show as being open, that is why I have to go iTunes itself, the old fashioned way, so to speak.
It sometimes happens when I plug my headset in (also Apple brand, the basic ones that come with the iPad and iPhones) to phone and have tried the two different ones I have. It only seems to happen if my phone is not in use (i.e. I am on a call and switch to the headset it does not happen)
Interestingly this issue with the headphones and iTunes automatically starting happened more with iOS 6 and than with iOS 7. Ironically the opposite is true with the car radio, USB port cable, charging and iPhone — it rarely happened with iOS 6.0 but with iOS 7.0 it always happens.
I cannot seem to find a fix here but I do see I am not the only one with this annoying issue.
Please someone (APPLE!) figure out a fix.
PS I have even considered NOT having any of my music on my phone — none at all — which not only would solve the problem (I would hope!) but be extremely inconvenient and defeating the purpose of only having an iPhone vs an iPhone and an iPod.
PPS - I probably left out something really relevant, like what color is my car , so if I did, please let me know.

I have an iPhone 5 and every time I get into my car, as soon as my iPhone connects to the bluetooth or if I connect the USB cable, the music starts blaring through the car stereo, even if the radio was off. If I am using any of the navigation apps on my phone (google maps, waze, apple maps), and I happen to be lucky enough to have the voice directions working (that's consistently inconsistent), the music will frequently start by itself during navigation, even if I didn't turn the music on. Sometimes the music and navigation voice over will compete with each other at the same time. Sometimes they both go totally silent. Sometimes I'll hear only music. Sometimes only the voice directions. And if make or receive a phone call while the navigation is working, as soon as the phone call ends, the music will always take over again, even if I didn't have the music on prior to. I've checked and re-checked every setting on my phone, in my apps, in my car, and followed all of the suggestions I've found online (note to Apple - there are tons of posts on this topic), and nothing works.
It seems like there should be an easy software fix for this, or at the very least, options to:
prevent the music from starting automatically every time you connect with a cable or bluetooth (insanely annoying)
allow voice directions to temporarily mute music, should one choose to be listenting to music and navigating at the same time
just listen to voice direction - no music!
Better yet, how about just provide options to let the end-user decide when to listen to music.
For a product that is supposed to be "intuitively easly" and/or "just works", this level of dysfunction shouldn't be acceptable. Come on Apple - what are you doing to fix this???

IPhone 4s No Longer connects to Car Bluetooth after iOS 7.1 Update

My iPhone 4s has been paired to our 2006 Acura TL hands free link (Bluetooth) and working flawlessly for more than a year. After the iOS 7.1 update installed on my iPhone the connection has been lost and the car's Bluetooth does not recognize, and will not pair with my iPhone anymore! I noticed there were two back-to-back updates for iOS7. The first one caused intermittent interruptions and lost connections with the iPhone. The second update completely destroyed the connection between the car bluetooth and the iPhone. Any ideas on how to correct this problem would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello algee1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with pairing your iPhone with your Acura.
In my experience, when updates are released for iOS devices, compatible devices release an update to maintain compatibility. Step 2 from the article below recommends checking with the manufacturer of your car stereo to see if there is a firmware update available for your car stereo:
2. Update software and firmware if necessary
Verify that both your car stereo and your device have the latest software versions. Contact the manufacturer to see if any updates are available. If your device does not have the latest version of the iOS, update to the latest software version.
I recommend reviewing the full article here for additional troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
I also recommend these steps if the issue persists after following all the steps in the previous article:
Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories
If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.

IPhone 4s 5.0.1 will no longer connect to wifi

Updated to iOS 5.0.1 and now my 4s will no longer connect to wifi. iOS 5.0 worked perfectly. Now the phone tries to connect to wifi but fails every time and the battery drains faster than water from an unstopped sink. My guess is that the battery drain is due to the phone trying to connect to wifi. I have done all the usual things. My phone is 4 ft from my router (and it worked perfectly under iOS 5.0). I have restored the phone on iTunes with no change. I would love to go back to iOS 5.0.

Just checked my wife's iPhone 4. Did an over the air update to 5.0.1 and apparently that killed the wifi on that phone as well. My iPad 1 and iPod Touch works fine.

IPhone updated to iOS 8.1 unable to connect to internet

I've just installed iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5.
the iPhone is able to connect to a wifi and access internet at any other wifi network other than the one I use at home.
However before updating(when I was using iOS 7.1.2) the iPhone was working normally,it was able to connect to connect to the wifi and access internet.
The router I use at my home is a netgear one.
The iPhone works just fine with any other wifi other than the one i use at my home.
The wifi works fine with other devices I've -laptop,iPad 2(still using iOS 7.1.2)
Thanks.

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following MAY help with that but there are numerous reports of issues: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite

Uploaded Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost internet connection (WiFi works)

I uploaded my Iphone 3GS to iOS 5 and lost 3G internet connection (WiFi works). Anybody has that same problem??
I lost all my music too. What I don't get is that when my iphone is connected to Itunes, the music appears there (i even can play it), but the device doesn´t have it. I try to sync it but it doesn't work. What can I do?
Help please!!!

I went into Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data Network.and changed my APN in the 'Cellular Data' section from idata.o2.co.uk to wap.o2.co.uk.
wap.02.co.uk will not work for you, that is my provider's setting. I would contact Telcel and see what your APN settings should be, but I get the impression having read through many conversations now that the upgrade to iOS5 sometimes changes these settings.
I left the 'Visual Voicemail' and the 'MMS' settings the same and everything seems to be working ok...
Oh - and I did lose my music after. I've managed to restore my purchased by going to the iTunes store on my phone and dowloading them all again.
Good luck, hope that sorts it.

IPhone with iOS 7.1.2 cannot connect with car system

Hi,
I am using iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1.2 . I used to connect it with my car (fiat bravo, with blue&me system) and it has worked well, but it was still on iOS 7.1.1. Now it doesn't want to connect with the car, phone sees the car, but cannot connect with it. How can I solve this?

Hello, Brunon_Wayward.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes when an iOS update is released there is a compatibility lag with certain features that requires an update to the vehicle. I would first check with your vehicle manufacture for any firmware updates. However, here is an article that has some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding car stereo connections and an iOS device.

IPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1 started to breaking up via bluetooth airplay to car audio clarion cx609e

With new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.0.1 my car audio clarion cx609e started to breaking up airplay streaming? Streaming will continue but with in music there is a little cut-offs. This happens with Spotify app, not tested with iPhone´s own iPod app... With old iOS 4.x there were no problems at all?!?!

My son has a similar problem since updating to the latest software on his iphone 4. He can make calls but the other person can't hear him. Facetime and Skype work fine - so it must be the lower microphone that is the problem. He's had it checked at the Apple store in Chiang Mai but they won't fix it - he has to get it back to the UK for service. It's 2 months over the warranty period but having checked around it seems this problem is widespread and Apple need to sort it fast!
I've updated mine and it's fine - but I'm gonna take out applecare before the warranty runs out as I'm not risking having a £495 phone that I can't use as a phone.
I was thinking of buying one for my wife this Xmas but no way whilst they are having so many problems.
COME ON APPLE - GET THIS FIXED WITH A NEW RELEASE ASAP!

My new Iphone 5 has no sounds when connected to car's bluetooth. Never a problem with iPhone 4.

I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 5, and upon conneecting my 5 to my car's bluetooth (2010 Acura TSX) I no longer hear sounds. This could be the lock sound, text alerts, or email "dings". All of them are muted. If i turn bluetooth off they re-appear without an issue.
I suspect the problem is that the iPhone is sending all of the audio to the bluetooth, however since I have the radio on and don't have it on Bluetooth audio then my car isn't playing the sounds. I don't get how to fix this as it was never a problem on my Iphone4 running iOS5.1
has anyone fixed this while being able to keep their bluetooth on so the handsfree works. For now i just put my phone on silent so that itvibrates however sometimes i forget and then miss alerts.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

could also check with an acura dealer to see if there is an update for your bluetooth software on the car.
a new product like the iphone 5 is designed by the most up to date bluetooth regulations and frequencies and all that techno stuff, and if the software on your car is not up to date its going by 2010 specs.

Since upgrading to iOs 7.0.5, my iPhone 5S no longer connects to anything through Bluetooth, even things it was previously paired to. Any ideas?

Under the previous version of iOs 7, I could connect to 2 sets of headphones, and a van through bluetooth with no problems. Since the update, nothing connects, even though the iPhone can see the items. I have tried “forgetting” the devices and tried repairing them with no success.
I would contact Apple about this, but every time I tried with other problems their response was “Try waithing for the next upgrade”.
Anyone out there having the same problems, or know of any solutions?

I got the same issue with my Garmin Watch.
Since I've upgraded my iPhone 5s from 7.0.4 to 7.0.5 I can't perform the pairing.
I've tried with an iPhone 5 on 7.0.4 and everything works as expected, but not with 7.0.5. I have a message who says "Pairing Unsuccessful, Pairing took too long. Make sur "tactix-xxxxx" is turned on, in range, and is ready to pair".
As I said, I don't have this message with 7.0.4.
I've performed all tips to try to resolve the bluetooth issue on my iPhone, in vain
Please help !

Will Iphone 5c get ios 10 and whether longer support than Iphone 5?

I wonder should I buy Iphone 5 or Iphone 5c? I heard that Iphone 5c will get ios 10, and Iphone 5 not. Is it true? Maybe as well as Iphone 5c and Iphone 5 stops on ios 9?
Thanks for answers

Its easy to predict. Usualy Iphones have 3-4 yrs support, for ex. Iphone 4 started at ios 4.0 and "finished" at 7, Iphone 4s (5.0) and 8 is his last...

IPhone 4 iOS 4 Update..... No longer connects to car

I got a iphone 4 for christmas and i use it to play music in my car via USB. Everything was working finre until i downloaded the new iOS4 Softwear yesterday, now when i try and connect it to my car via the USB nothing happens i get a message come up on the iphone saying this accessory is not supported by iphone, and the screen on the car states unable to connect.I Its just strange as it was working fine before the update. This is a real pain in the butt. Please can anybody assist with this question?

You can do a forum search as this is asked many, many time.
The search bar is on the right side of this page.
This is an issue with many car stereos. There is nothing to do until/unless Apple or the maker of you car stereo release an update to address the issue.

IPhone 5 running iOS 7 suddenly will not connect to the iTunes store app. Was working fine since the upgrade to iOS 7. Anyone else having the same problem?

I upgraded to iOS 7 the other day and everything worked fine. Today I noticed I can no longer open the iTunes app on my phone. I used it yesterday to download a few songs and today it gives me a white screen with menu tabs on the bottom that also do not open. I have tried every suggestion and read all the official apple support items and none of it works. Anyone else have this problem or have it fixed after you had the same problem?

I have exactly the same problem. I too have tried everything that's been suggested, but still not working. Don't really what to do next? I have an iPhone 4S.
