I don't need Handoff turned on as its a feature I don't wish to use. Continuity works over BT. So does pairing the two together (Mac & iPhone) still break the iOS/car connections?
Got a tip for us?

Ah, OK with you. I'm not sure on that. I'm need to look into that as I always think of Handoff and continuity as much the same thing.
Well, I'll give it a whirl and see what happens. Still hope 8.1 fixes this anyway on Monday.
I was having similar trouble in the Fusion when I tried to make a call using the iPhone, while connected to SYNC. The audio never came through the car and I had to hang up and just use the phone itself.
I'm starting to get frustrated with this junk. Everything was nearly perfect with iOS 7. Now that I have iOS 8 (8.0.2) the whole car/SYNC experience has gone down the tubes.
I wish I never reset all settings yesterday on the iPhone. I had everything finely tuned the way I wanted it for the last 7 years and now it's all jacked up.
I thought I had it all back the way it was, but I keep finding things not the way I want them and its annoying.
I got in the car today and had to reset SYNC to factory settings and forget the iPhone pairing. Once I paired it up again, I thought all was well. But it tried redialing someone again on its own. Then later on while driving home a text message came in and it was never pushed to the car and I only found out when I looked at the lock screen.

Since you deleted your bluetooth profile in your phone, you may have forgotten to reselect Notifications in the bluetooth profile setting screen and/or select to receive notifications in the car's settings as well. That's the way it works for my GMC Acadia Denali.
Ah yes! Thank you. That notification was disabled in BT settings for SYNC. I bet it will work now.
just updated to 8.1 and still having issues with the audio not going though until a call connects FFS
Fixed for me. For those with issues try the following:
Un pair from the car and then repair.
If that fails, reset your network settings and re pair to the car again.
Finally, if the above fail, try a reset all settings and then re pair to the car again.

I have a 2013 Honda Civic and the bluetooth connection will randomly disconnect for 3-5 seconds and then reconnect automatically.

My iphone 6 ios 8.1.1 will still not play music. It connects and looks like it is playing but there is no sound. The phone function works just fine.
I spoke with Apple support for a total of 2 hours. They did not acknowledge that this problem had ever been reported.
In the end, they recommended that I restore the phone to factory defaults. 2 hours later, I have the same problem.

So today I visited the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store. After listening intently to my tale of woe - Brand new iPhone. Didn't even know there was a Genius Bar. Thanks Apple! I will see how this works after the restore completes.

petersbud, I doubt the issue is actually the phone itself.
i'm having the same nightmare with bmw. never had any issues with my 5s/ios7 and m6 - now with the 6+/ios8 and both our x3 and the loaner 535 we got the other day, we have the same problems. music looks like it should be playing but never does until I get out the phone itself and press play. incredibly annoying. apple store was clueless.

You are right - the hardware replacement did nothing. I suspect that it is a bad implementation of the Bluetooth interface on the phone. Apple's answer - wait for an update. This, even though they don't acknowledge the problem.
My work around? I revived my iPhone 4, sync'd up my music and paired it up with the F150. The 4 acts like an iPod and the 6 works like a phone.
Good luck!

I did the same for years with an old ipod off fleabay, guess it's time to resurrect it!

Bluetooth works perfect with my wife's iphone 5 (iOS 7) but frequently disconnects and connects when used with iPhone 6 (iOS 8, 8.0.2, 8.1 and now 8.2). Suprisingly it streams music flawlessly with both the phones.

Wow talk about resurrecting the dead forum. Your issue is the first issue I've heard of since 8.1+ ... I think at this point it's safe to say it's probably specific to your device.
