The new iOS 8 was made
available to the public two weeks ago and the latest operating system from
Apple has been from being bug-free. Reports on the web point out that iOS 8 also
has some connectivity issues with Bluetooth systems inside cars, including
BMWs.
According
to numerous reports on the Apple Support forums and MacRumors, users running
iOS 8 have trouble pairing their phones to their car audio systems, this
includes the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices.
Some of
the most common issues report to us by BMW owners as well are around the
devices refusing to pair entirely, neglecting to play audio over the speakers,
or disconnecting when a call comes in.
Even the latest iOS 8.0.2 has
the same issues.
According
to one iPhone 6 owner experiencing issues, Apple support is aware of a
compatibility issue between the Bluetooth “used on the iPhone 6 and some
car/navigation Bluetooth.”
Some of
the quick fixes to try, which have been successful for some users, are the
following:
1. Log out of
iCloud,
2. Forget
connected Bluetooth devices
3. Using the
“Reset All Settings” and/or “Reset Network Settings” option on their iPhones
and restarting, re-pairing their devices with their Bluetooth devices
4. Logging back in
to iCloud.
Attempting
to use “Reset All Settings” should be done with caution, however, as some users
have noticed that all of their iCloud Drive documents have gone missing after
using the feature. So please attempt these fixes with caution and proper
backups.
