Bluetooth connection problem in car with iOS 8? A solution to test

Although it is a very practical function in
auto, is to be able to use your iPhone for audio streaming,
Siri commands and other access to contacts. But we had several returns
of users for whom iOS 8 caused Bluetooth connection problems
between the terminal and the car's on-board system. It's not
systematic and seems to depend on the brand of the car. With us this
works very well.

The problem is discussedhere on the
Apple technical support forum.

For those who are victims of a bug, particularly since iOS 8, a
manipulation seems to solve the problem, at least
temporarily:

Thanks to Kite56, an iPhon.fr reader who tested it successfully. She is not
not trivial, since it consists ofreset the settings of the
machine.

ATTENTION: there is a bug on this subject,
dont
we spoke here, so take the time to collect the documents
iWork possibly stored in iCloud Drive before handling.
Also make a full backup of the machineavant,
via iTunes and/or iCloud, it is wiser to return to previous settings
in case of problem.

Then, for those who can no longer connect the iPhone via Bluetooth to
the car, or cannot answer calls, reset the settings to
initial values ​​by going to the Settings app, then General, press
at the bottom of the screen on “Reset”, and finally (you have
saved huh?) to “Reset all settings”.

Who experiences these problems? On what brand/model
automobile?
