Reporting no issues here with iPhone 6 Plus 64GB silver. I paired audio first, then phone and it works as expected on a 2010 RX350.

Also no problems with 5S on iOS 8.0.2 or 5 or 4S...=)

I have had this problem with iPhone 4 and still do with iPhone 6 using iOS 8.0.2 in my 2010 RX350 Multi-Media Bluetooth...

If I click to dial a number from Contacts (or using Siri accessing Contacts), call starts but quickly drops before ringing through. I then have to find the call in phone's "Recents" tab and click again there to complete the call. Only happens in Bluetooth in the RX350.

Any tips?

I upgraded to iOS 8 last week and ever since then the bluetooth music volume is barely audible at max level. The radio is fine. I can't find any mention of this anywhere so I'm wondering if its the upgrade or something else.

Do a google search for reset all settings ... make sure you backup your iCloud docs first, but this fixed 99% of the issues people have been having with bluetooth.

Is the bluetooth volume on the phone turned up?

Siri isn't really that compatible with the car. I would make sure your contacts are transferred to the car and use the car's voice command.

I had problems pairing my new iPhone 6 to my 2015 RX…I ended up going to the dealership…they paired it for me, but before I was even out of the parking lot, it came unpaired... so I went back…the second time they did it was a success…glad to read it wasn't just me…I was sort of embarrassed to be going in for that!

On a side note - I am not a fan of the new iPhone 6

I have 2 4s that have been upgraded to IOS 8, and 2 cars. No issues anywhere.Does anyone know what the problem is? It seems odd that some phones would react so differently to the same OS.

I like IOS 8, but it really doesn't seem that different on our 4s.

I have no issues with iOS 8.0.2 in my 2015 RX. The only thing I noticed is that bluetooth streaming is a little weird when you start the engine. It'll make the song play on my phone for 1 second while it connects to the stereo, but that's about it.

Just paired my new iPhone 6 last night to my 2010 RX. Could not have been easier, and everything works perfectly. I think this article may have been referring to the first release of IOS 8. The updated version (IOS 8.02) seems to have solved the issues. I have 8.02

I own a 2013 RX350 with Navigation. I am debating whether to get a Samsung Galaxy S5 or an Apple iPhone 6. After reading all these posts, I am still no clearer in making a decision,

Does the iPhone 6 offer all the bluetooth capabilities available in a 2013 RX350? Currently, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it pairs easily - no drops, has no issues streaming audio, reads out SMS messages to me, shows caller id on the screen, etc. Can all these be achieved with the iPhone6?

Both of my iPod touch's have been upgraded and no issues in either car. Both are connected through USB and used only for music.
