Crapple is the problem. Lots of series iPhones have issues. Blame Apple for not being with the times.

My Crapple 5S has been working fine since I got the car. I have a 2014, don't know if they changed something. And no, WiFi has nothing to do with Bluetooth and I was on iOS 7 and 8 Beta and now 8 Official, never had problems.

Just got the 6 but have not tried pairing yet. Hopefully no problems. Wondering also about receiving and sending texts. We shall see.

I got the 6 yesterday and was able to pair the phone, but the phone calls wouldn't route through the car's speakerphone. Phone book and everything loaded. I'm in a 2014 GX. Everything worked fine with the 5S on iOS 7 and 8.

Just realized you have to select show notifications under the car multimedia setting.

I got my iPhone 6 yesterday, first deleted my old iPhone 5 and contacts, paired up the new one and transferred contacts on the first try. I'm enjoying the larger screen. Did not get the bigger one, felt it was to big. Apple should have had larger screen sizes for years now. I think the late Steve Jobs had something to do with that delay. He always felt the screen should be able to be operated one handed, with the thumb. Now what to do with the old phone, already have an iPod nano as my music player.

I6 still will not facilitate "canned" text responses.

If you're not selling your old iPhone on ebay, you're doing it wrong. You're losing out on a couple hundred easy.

6+ is the way to go...good grief this thing is huge.

You get use to the size rather quickly. I use to think my Note3 was huge but now I can't go back to a smaller screen.

Paired my Crapple 6 this morning and everything worked like my old Crapple 5S did. No problem here.

I am having the same problem. It shows it's connected but when you dial out it does not work. And when someone calls in it rings but you cannot pick up from the pick up icon from the car. Any suggestions????
