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.
Unable to upload photos either I just noticed as well from iPhone. Anyone here able to upload pictures from new iPhone 6
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!

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

No filesystem in iOS. So you can't do "browse file".
Just tried an iPhone 5s and no problems. What you said about the signal indicator is true also with iPhone 6 along with sync problem. Seems like an iPhone 6 hardware problem.
The previously working (IOS7.x) Bluetooth connection to my 2010 Mazda RX-8 is completely barked now in IOS8.
Bluetooth issue with Porsche PCM - fixed
- 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 ;-)

Thanks, this explains why.. Was wondering why one could not upload a simple picture.
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.

They forgot to mention Porsche cars.
