Since 8.1.1. my iPhone 6+ has weird issues with Bluetooth Streaming to my 2013 Audi S5.
The weird part is that is that it connects faster to the car, meaning it starts playing quicker than it used to but during the first couple of minutes of playback, there are a few "hiccups". The audio stops intermittently 5 or 6 times and then after a minute or so it plays back normally for as long as the car is running.
Again, after a car restart, the same hiccups happen again and go away after a little while... :confused:
 
Apple Bluetooth compatibility has been less than perfect. My old blackberry could stream Bluetooth audio until the cows came home. I haven't tried Bluetooth streaming since 8.1.1 but on IOS 7 it would either stream flawlessly or alternatively actually lock up my nav unit such that I had to turn the car off.

I'll try 8.1.1 tomorrow and report back. (Hopefully I'll remember)

re-pair your phone to the car. It works fine in my VW Touareg.
 
I7 guy I never had a problem before this. It's been great for 3 years.

I just did. 2 hiccups instead of 6. At least it's better.

@ppdix; I'm thinking it's maybe something with IOS 8.1.1 on iphone 6 for you. I'll give it a try with my 5s tomorrow and post back.
