    I have iphone 5, the wife has the 4s. 2 times in the last 3 weeks, I place a call
    through the car system. The car display shows the call connecting and nothing
    else happens in the car after that. to continue with the all, I have to change to the
    phone's speaker to hear. I must end the call with the phone itself.
    If a call comes in, none of the car's buttons will accept the call.

    Solutions I have tried,
    unpairing the phones, removing the key for a minute, restarting the phones,
    repairing them to the car.
    I did this couple of times the first time this happened and I had success until
    today.

    Our car does not have Mini Connect.

    Since the car buttons are rendered useless when this happens, I am thinking the
    car is the issue and not iOS8.

    Anyone else have this experience?

    This is probably not extremely helpful, but I don't think it's iOS 8 either, as my Bluetooth is working fine since the update (iPhone 5s).

    This isn't helpful, but I'm thinking if you are driving maybe just hang up the phone & drive.

    Now get off my lawn..... :wink:

    Thanks all, I should have mentioned that I took the update to iOS8.1 as well.

    Correction, I am running 8.0.2. So if there is an 8.1 coming, great.

    Just because a dude wants to figure out why his Bluetooth isn't working doesn't mean that he's automatically a distracted, dangerous driver. Personally, I hate talking on the phone while I drive, but if I buy a car with Bluetooth it had better darn well work.

    This is why they made Bluetooth. With all due respect, if you cannot drive AND have a conversation into a speaker just as if you were talking to someone sitting next to you, it may be a good idea to turn in your keys. In my line of work, I field phone calls regularly and do just fine with one hand on the wheel, one hand managing the sloshbox, and a mouth full of verbiage for my soldiers.
