Iphone6 ios 8.0.2 bluetooth problem

I have a 2013 Subaru wrx and the iphone6. With my old iphone 4s when i got in and turned on the car it would connect to the bluetooth within a few seconds. Now I have to manually connect every time i start the car. I have tried all the solutions i have found online to no avail. I have reset all the settings restored to factory both phone and car. Deleted my old 4s from the radio and added new iphone6. Also reset nework settings and its still the same. Still have to manually connect. Any body know how to fix this? 

Hello Mxdad73,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’ve done quite a bit of troubleshooting but your iPhone 6 still isn’t pairing with your car stereo automatically. The two articles linked below provide troubleshooting suggestions, which you may not have already tried, that will resolve most Bluetooth issues.
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit

I hope this helps,

  • IOS 8.1.1 bluetooth problem in Mazda persists

    Since the launch of iOS 8, the bluetooth in my Mazda 3 does not auto connect to my iPhone 5 when placing a phone call.  Music stream, incoming calls, and any other audio work perfectly fine.  iOS 8.1 and 8.1.1 did not fix the problem.  Mazda points the finger at Apple, Apple points the finger at Mazda.  When is this issue going to be resolved since I know I am not the only one out there that experiences this issue.  Other manufactures are seeing the problem as well and is not isolated to just Mazda.  Bluetooth is a requirement in some states and on all federal installations, so clearly the bluetooth being partially broken is kinda redundant if you ask me.  Suggestions and an estimated time of releasing a fix would be greatly appreciated.

    Irrelevant.  Whenever Apple prepares a new iOS update, all other related tech companies are advised, far in advance of the release (as in, like MONTHS ahead of time), what changes will be made.  That includes app developers, email providers, website managers, and Bluetooth accessory manufacturers, just to name a few.  And if they want their products/services to be compatible with iOS devices, then it is their responsibility to make the required adjustments.  If they fail to make required adjustments, then it's also their responsibility to advise their customers, even before the iOS release, that their products/services will not be compatible with the new iOS.
    Technology changes.  That's how it works.
    iOS 8 is different from iOS 7.  The way the Bluetooth interfaces is also different.  If the accessory is not updated to a firmware version (again, the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide that and the responsibility of the consumer to install or update it) that is compatible, then it will not work properly.

  • IOS 6 obviously has Bluetooth problems. Any news from Apple to fix it?

    As many have discussed already, I'm too having issues pairing Bluetooth devices with the upgrade to iOS on my 3rd gen iPad and my Digital Gadgets Bluetooth keyboard case.

    Great post John Cunningham3.
    As far as I know I haven't lost any music and that's scary. Does anyone think Apple will reimburse these people???
    I myself can listen with no problems and my podcasts are being updated as well, but I can't access anywhere in the store other than the front. Once I click the video section it shuts down.
    What's interesting in all of this is with all of the media being bought out my companies affiliated by other companies will the "news" organizations listen to us???
    I mean Apple is still linked with Disney through Pixar and Disney is the "parent company" of ABC what incentive does ABC have in making this story public.
    Considering the splash they made at unveiling the iPods last week and how much positive press they received why didn't the news organizations respond to the iTunes Store fiasco???
    I hope the fix comes out soon, but as John Cunningham3
    already mentioned their silence is deafening.
    Here's the number for Apple to call directly: 1-800-275-2273

  • Problems Report: Yosemite Language/Region and iOS 8.0.2 Bluetooth

    OS X YOSEMITE LANGUAGE/REGION PROBLEM:
    Since I installed OS X Yosemite (10.10) on my 13 inch Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013, my Finder's Favorites and Tags appears in two different languages (English and Portuguese). I am from Brazil, however, I use my system in English. Whereas I set my language to English, my Finder should appear only in English.
    As you can see, until Desktop option is in English, below it, everything is in Portuguese. Note that in Mavericks everything appeared in English as it should be. Same for the Tags, which is "Vermelho" instead of "Red" and so on, but "All tags" appears in English, instead of Portuguese.
    Please Apple, do not forget to correct it for the next upgrade!
    iOS 8.0.2 BLUETOOTH PROBLEM:
    Another problem I want to report is my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.0.2) Bluetooth connection, which has a big issue. Since iOS 8.0.2 upgrade, I could not use my Bluetooth anymore. My device can be found from other devices, such as my Macbook Pro, for example, however, I am not able to pair or even find any other device from my iPhone to others.
    Hence, I am not able to use Handoff, connect to the car's DVD player, Headphones and so on.
    What is going on there, Apple? Both this problems are amateurs. What is happening with the Test Software Engineering phase.
    I was wondering if it would be possible to see some great news about both of this issues as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance for any further help from you guys.

  • How to Solve Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Problems on your iOS Device?

    Do you have any problem with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your iOS Device? Please read these steps carefully and follow it!
    These Steps that I am sharing are TESTED by 10 iOS users what had problems with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or both and was successful
    - Please note that Resetting/Factory Resetting/Hard Resetting or Recovering or un-jailbreaking your device will not work at all -
    To Solve Wi-Fi Problems Follow these steps (But before doing anything please restart your iOS Device and see if you still have network problems):
    Step 1 Go to Settings > General > Reset > Rest Network Settings and Reset your Network Settings and wait until your device re-boots
    Step 2 Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and see if you can connect to your Wi-Fi If you can't then go to next step
    Step 3 Go to Settings > Airplane Mode and turn on Airplane Mode and shut down your device. Go to your network provider and ask to restart the Modem or do it your self (Just unplug power cord and plug it back in) You have to wait 30 seconds.
    Step 4 Boot your device and go to Settings > Airplane Mode and this time turn if off and go to Wi-Fi and see if you can connect it again. If you can't then go to next step - Note: If you are going on to Step 5 it means that your device is experiencing Critical System Error that cannot be fixed easily -
    Step 5 Go your laptop/desktop and open your browser then type this on the webpage search bar 192.168.0.1 and click enter. If it doesn't work then go and ask your network provider for an address for your modem/internet settings.
    Step 6 Change your modem/internet settings to no password and make it "available/visible for everyone" and go to your iOS device and got to Settings > Wi-Fi and see if it works this time. If it still doesn't work go to next step - Note: If you are going on to the next step it means you are experiencing Critical System Error that had been cause by glitch/bug -
    Step 7 Connect your iOS Device to iTunes on your laptop/desktop and update your iOS version -Note: this process if basically re-installing your operating system- If you can't update if because the new update if not available you have to wait for next update unfortunately
    Step 8 After updating your iOS Device Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and see if it connects to your Wi-Fi. It normally fixes the problem but if it still doesn't, it means your device is experiencing hardware problem. Visit your local Apple Retail Store or reseller and ask them for complimentary/device-exchange/warranty help or go to Apple website for online support: www.apple.com/support/ for better support.
    To Solve Bluetooth Problem all you need to do is resetting (not factory resetting) your device and see if it works, if it doesn't you will need to update your iOS or Google for more technical troubleshooting because it could be your pairing device's problem. Visit www.apple.com/support/ for better support.
    If anyone of you had these experiences and was successful troubleshooting please do share your experience. I will also be avaliable to answer your questions if you have one! Please do share your openions about my post if you have one

    If you don't mind, would you do that for me please?

  • Bluetooth problem on iOS 6!

    I have Beats Wireless, and since upgrading to iOS 6, has presented problems with the bluetooth connection. I was wondering if anyone has this problem and if Apple will make a new update to fix this problem.
    Thank You.

    I have bluetooth problem with Creative Sound Blasteraxx SBX 20 when I upgraded iphone4, ipad2 and ipad3 to ios 6.
    There seemed the bluetooth session is prone to some interruptions. The music stopped playing but the bluetooth session is inact. The sound blaster has blue led and iphone4 show " connected". I will to reset by turning off the bluetooth and reconnect again. Then only will the music from iphone4 is played at sound blasteraxx SBX20. I have to kept doing this again and again when the music stopped. This does not happen before the upgrade. I used Creative BT-D5 a bluetooth socket connector to iphone4 and paired it with Sound Blasteraxx SBX20. I played for hours without any session being lost. I have seen iphone wifi suddenly went from "connected" to " not connected" in iphone4 setting. Before upgrade the disconnection would never appear on its own. I suspect the ios bluetooth and wifi are prone to interruption and they cannot prrform automatically recovery. It needs manual reset to get bluetooth and wifi working.

  • IOS 7 - Bluetooth Problem

    Why doesn't bluetooth sync with my Acura MDX anymore with IOS 7?  I had no problem with the old IOS.

    Hey there 4JHs,
    It sounds like after updating to iOS 7, you are not able to connect to yoru vehicle bluetooth. I found this article for you to help troubleshoot the issue named:
    iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
    On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
    Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
    Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
    Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
    Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
    There is also a section toward the bottom with extended troubleshooting of you need it.

    What bluetooth issues would you be referring to?

    No, you simply are not.  Stating such simply shows ignorance.  Apple is not your wireless carrier, they are merely a hardware manufacturer.

  • IPhone6 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro

    IPhone6, iOS 8.1.1 won't pair with BlueTooth on MBPro nor can I use it as Blue Tooth "hands free" device in my car. Blue Tooth is enabled on the phone and on the MBPro.  I try to "connect to network" on the iPhone, using BT preferences on the MBPro, but get the message "can't connect" . On the MBPro, have gone to Sys. Pref., Network, can see the phone but again get the same message when I try to connect.
    On the phone under the green button (which enables) the BlueTooth, I see the word "other devices" and a spinning beach ball as the phone tries to find additional devices but no joy.
    Have Googled the problem, am reading similar issues - people seem to think it was the new iOS 8.0 and 8.1.1 was supposed to be a fix but it isn't.  Any thoughts out there would be much appreciated.

    Great - finally got our iPhones6 "discoverable" on our car. Whew!!!  Thank you so much.
    But, still can't pair our iPHone with my MBPro.  Follwed directions on your link but no joy....<sigh>
    The MBPro does NOT find the iPhone device. Don't know why......
    However, the biggest problem is solved, hopefully.....that being the car/phone connection.
    Appreciate the assistance.
    thx

  • IPhone 5, IOS 8.1.3 - Bluetooth Weirdness

    I've recently upgraded my iPhone 5S to IOS 8.1.3 and this appears to be when my bluetooth problems began!
    My Plantronics bluetooth headset is nearly five years old and has previously worked with this iPhone 5 and my old 4S.
    I can pair the headset and iphone just fine and even use it - so what's the problem?
    Well there are two really, firstly even after pairing the iphone bluetooth continues searching, the "Devices" wheel perpetually rotates and the iphone keeps looking for bluetooth devices to connect to and this appears to reduce battery standby time.
    Secondly and more annoying, if I turn my connected bluetooth device off or the bluetooth on the iphone off, I can't get them to re-connect. The iphone lists the device, but shows it as "Not connected". If I try to manually connect them, I get the "Connection unsuccessful" message - "Make sure "3XXPlantronics" is turned on and in range."
    The only thing I can do is "Forget this device" and re-pair the device and iphone, which is really starting to get to me!
    I've tried forgetting the device and re-booting the iphone, then re-pairing and also resetting all the network settings, but noting appears to make any difference.
    Any suggestions please?
    Kind regards,
    Mel

    Good day hells_mels,
    If you are having an issue with maintaining the Bluetooth connection to your headset and having to delete and re-pair it, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • How to fix background wifi data usage in iphone6 iOS 8.1.1 when connecting to wifi?

    How to fix background wifi data usage in iphone6 iOS 8.1.1 when connecting to wifi?

    Hi
    I have Iphne 4s/5.0.1 and I'm also stuck with same problem from last 5 days. I have restored/backup/updated the phone as many times as possible. I have been with Vodafone Customer Care (India) and now everyone knows my problem there, but there is no solution.
    I have read and tried most of the solutions provided here. Please help me out.
    Problem -
    1. 3G / Edge working when restore as new phone
    2. 3G / Edge stops working as soon as backup is restored
    3. Copied and verified both of the files (8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858 (Restored new iphone & Restored backup iphone) have different settings. Replacing part of this file or even complete text of this file, changes the date/time stamp of file and on backup restoration it says "Corrupt backup" and phone restarts.
    4. I dont want to Jailbreak the phone
    5. Using any third party software to install new APN says "Only One APN can be installed"
    6. Profile doesnt show any other APN
    Is there any other way to delete this file (com.apple.managedCarrier.plist) or just change the section where in string value is "Portalnmms" to required value "iphone" along with key?
    Please help me out.
    thanks

  • Ios 8.1.1 bluetooth drops connection with Honda Accord

    My iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.1, when paired with the audio system in my 2014 Honda Accord will drop the connection after 1 minute when using the AHA app. Also, when I use Bluetooth as the audio source in the car, it will recognize my iPhone, but ignores any request to select music from the phone. These functions worked earlier with my iPhone 4S and IOS7. Is there a temporary fix for these issues?

    Similar to VroomVroom:  I have iphone 5s, was on iOS7, went to iOS 8.1.2, and I didn't notice that I had lost a specific bluetooth connection: Garmin Smartlink - Live Traffic App.  The Garmin Smartlink uses bluetooth to connect to the aftermarket Kenwood DNX891HD I have in my car, this comes with a Navigation GPS included.  The Garmin Smartlink app (Live Traffic) provides immediate traffic updates if your city is covered, and my city Cincinati OH is covered.  This was all working fine before I upgraded the iOS on the iphone 5S.  I read another article related to "carkit" connections between iphones and car stereos (for both NAV and also hands-free) - here is the key point and my theory: Only ONE bluetooth connection can be supported at a time.  In my case - the hands-free telephone (thru car microphone and car stereo speakers) works fine, and I believe this is also "shared" by Pandora App (from iphone to Kenwood).  So, my theory is the iphone will not connect to the Kenwood for the Nav, since it is already connected to the Kenwood for the audio (Pandora and hands-free, I think these two "share" the same bluetooth connection, and I think the Smartlink connection is separate).  I messed around this morning in the parking lot at work, and my attempts to "forget" and "pair" the iphone and Kenwood would continously start playing Pandora, but the Smartlink still will not connect (when it dis work, I would see a green circle with two cars on my Nav map screen, indicating the smartlink connection and also status of the traffic).  My next test this afternoon will be to delete Pandora app on the phone, try forget / pair again and see if I can get Smartlink to work.  If this works, I'll reinstall Pandora App and try to get it back as well.  My past 24 hours of skimming articles (don't ya love the internet !) seems to indicate that I am not the only person with bluetooth problems due to the iOS 8.1.2 update....hey Apple...where's 8.1.3 to fix this ?
