2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with similar issues.
Pairs OK, but when I try to place a call I get an error that no networks are available. But it's not a network issue as I can have full bars and placing a call from the phone works fine.

It's working just fine in my '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland.


OP: get a ferrari or a lambo - it's working fine in both of mine.

Thanks for the reply. If I know it works for others than I know i have some deleting/re-pairing/playing to do.

it did not work on my delorean

BUT.. I dont need an iPhone 6 with my

delorean

Solution

To solve the problem here is what to do

- Remove all the bluetooth devices from your car
- On your iPhone 6 : Settings/General/Reset/Reset settings
- Your phone will then reboot
- Start your car and initiate pairing
- Turn on bluetooth on the iPhone 6 as requested by your car
- Complete the pairing and you should be good to go

It worked on my 2014 Cayenne this afternoon

On my panamera I just get static sometimes, like a weak connection kind of static when the phone is only 3 feet away. Same went with my fj

The "fix" of resetting all settings only worked temporarily - so problem persists with iPhone 6 plus in our Land Rover Discovery 4 ....

...surely they should have tested this sort of stuff? Beginning this wonder if being an early adopter is all its cracked up to be!

Strange got mine yesterday, iPhone 6+ and it works just fine on both my 2014 VW Golf R and our 2013 Mercedes GL AMG with command, including data connections.

Safari doesn't support file upload.

Experiencing the same exact issues with Ford SYNC/MFT after clean pairing and master resets. Connection will work for short time - until phone is rebooted for any reason. Then behavior returns. Calls last 4-6 seconds because SYNC thinks the call is ended (but the iPhone 6 continues the call) -- also signal indicator on MFT shows 1 bar regardless of what phone sees.

I had a 5s with iOS8 all throughout the beta period and never had the issue. It appears to be iPhone 6 hardware specific.

I am having same issues on my 5s after updating to iOS 8 so I don't believe that is true. Bluetooth connects but every time I call the Bluetooth disconnects.

Thanks for letting me know. Tried with my iPad Mini after and then realized that it couldn't upload a picture either WTF??

No filesystem in iOS. So you can't do "browse file".

The previously working (IOS7.x) Bluetooth connection to my 2010 Mazda RX-8 is completely barked now in IOS8.

- This worked for me too. It also made my iPhone 6 a whole lot faster. Perhaps when you migrate an existing backup it makes sense to reset all settings by default.

PS - I haven't tried to pair the phone with my private jet as yet - will let you know how that progresses ;-)

I'm having the same issue as well on my Subaru. Bluetooth works for music but not for phone.

Phones tested:
- iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
OS:
- 8.0 and 8.02

Car:
Porsche Cayenne 2014 with Porsche Communication

Issues:
Both phones managed to connect, could play music over Bluetooth.
Calls received could not be answered from car.
Calls made disconnected after a few seconds.

Managed to fix:
- reset PCM to full factory reset and car handover mode.
- reset iPhones with 'reset all settings' (tried all other forms of reset before without luck)
- once reset was complete went to Bluetooth settings in phone and removed the leftover profiles (tried this before phone reset without luck)
- changed iPhone name (tried this before phone reset without luck)
- paired phone and PCM in car.

Now all works as it should!!!

Notes: issue defiantly comes from the phone being restored from a backup of a previous phone when upgrading. All reset instances still had the Bluetooth profiles left in them. Only reset all settings deleted the profiles internals but still left traces. Which had to be manually removed.

No issues with my 6 & 6+ with my 2014 Audi Bang & Olufsen MMI

No problem connecting with my Mini-Cooper Countryman, either.
