So since getting my iPhone 6 on launch day, I noticed that the caller id in the car isn't working properly.

I have all my contacts in the phone and all my contacts store in the radio.

Before with my 5s on iOS 7, the radio would show the name of the person calling and display their phone number. But now, it just shows the phone number and no name. Names still display on the phone itself, but not the radio in the car.

Anybody notice this? Any ideas to fix it?

 

It's a bug in the new IOS software. Only fix is to wait for Apple to put out a patch....
On a side note what did you use for your LED turn signal and reverse lights??

 

Thanks!


You'll need two pairs of those. 1 pair for the turns, 1 pair for the reverse lights. You will need resistors for the turn signals as well. They look great for both, but the turns look just a tad washed out since they are white lights. But I'd buy them again!

I used these resistors and they worked perfectly.

 

I'd assume you ment 3 pairs as they're 2 pairs of turn signals plus 1 pair of reverse lights correct??

 

Oh sorry. Those are for the rear turn signals. I used a different bulb for the front. You could use those bulbs in the front but it would blink white instead of amber.

These are what I used for the fronts.

Here is the result. They look amazing! They are white when not blinking and alternate amber and white when blinking.

 

As an update - this is an issue with Verizon's VoLTE/Advanced calling.

If I turn off VoLTE, everything works. Turn it back on, and the caller id adds +1 like its an international call, and thus the car doesn't match up the name and number.

Another user posted this on the Verizon forum: https://community.verizonwireless.co...147814#1147814

Now I must decide if I want to edit my contacts to include the +1 so the car can match it up, or roll without VoLTE until Verizon fixes it.

I'm thinking I'll leave VoLTE off.

 

nice front blinkers but is that $19.95 a pair or each bulb?

 

$19.95 per bulb. Pricy but they look cool.

 

How the heck did this thread go from Iphone 6 to Blinker lights? lol

 

Back on topic, just saw this: iOS 8 Causing Widespread Bluetooth Connectivity Issues in Cars - Mac Rumors

My 5s on iOS 7 only showed numbers, no name. Same with it on iOS 8.

 

Maybe this isn't the right thread, but those with iOS8 (doesn't matter which iPhone; I'm using a 5), Siri doesn't understand me when I attempt a voice command now and will not complete the command. I can't send voice text messages or get directions when I push the little voice command button on the steering wheel.

Is this just the iOS8 being crap with the car or user error? LOLz

 

It's been said already, but iOS8 has not been Apple's finest hour.

My bad....
