It\u2019s definitely a very frustrating experience, but with a little trial and error, <strong>I was able to get what looked like non-functioning Bluetooth to work in my car<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>While every car maker\u2019s implementation is different, I essentially:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reset the Bluetooth settings on the car<\/li>\n<li>Toggled Bluetooth on and off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I did that a couple times, and I saw a unique name show up on my iPhone 6 Bluetooth screen. I clicked that name, and entered the passkey I set up in my car&#8217;s Bluetooth setting. <strong>It took about 10 seconds to pair, and I was back in business<\/strong>. Music streamed and phone calls worked like a champ, and when I turned the car off and on again, everything paired perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to note that this is not way the way it should work. It should be a lot easier, but I\u2019ve also had Bluetooth issues prior to iOS 8 after my phones that had worked for three years without issue suddenly ceased to pair. I took it to the dealer then, and they did a simple reset of the car\u2019s infotainment center, and instructed me on how to restart it myself (which was in the manual, by the way). <strong>After that, the car paired perfectly<\/strong>. The dealer\u2019s response on the matter: sometimes the computer system simply needs a restart like any other computer. As a computer guy, of course, that made me roll my eyes a bit, but the dealer was super friendly and helpful with their explanation. So, I cordially said thanks and went on my way.<\/p>\n<p>That little restart experience then guided me on how to fix it this time. I\u2019d recommend that if you\u2019re going to try to restart your system, try to restart only the Bluetooth if your car\u2019s system is capable of doing just that. As restarting the entire system pretty much wipes out all your data such as favorite stations, contacts, settings, map settings \u2013 pretty much everything and anything you\u2019ve customized and uploaded. So that can be a pain.<\/p>\n<p>So, hopefully with a little trial and error, <strong>you can get your Bluetooth going and\u00a0be on your way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many iOS 8 users have complained about the Bluetooth on their devices not working with their automobiles.
