Help needed.

I have a 2013 Astra J OPC and also a 2013 Astra J 1.4 Turbo 5 Door auto.

I tried paring my new iPhone 6 to both. The phone will pair to both cars and import call/phonebook lists.

With my OPC it will not dial out or connect with incoming calls. The steering wheel controls also do not function.

With my 5 Door it simply shows "SOS calls only" on the centre console screen.

I have tried deleting all devices, repairing, resetting phone to no success.

Suggestions? HELP!!!!

It will be something on the iphone side of things.
I'd suggest an android phone :p

Give it a couple of weeks and I'm sure there will be a fix for it.
I'd be searching google for other issues with the phone and bluetooth not just specifically on the opel range.

Iphone is NOT up&p compliant with bluetooth. Thats why I personally would never buy one. I think you are stuck with what you got, a lemon of a phone.

Not as yet. I have tried all sorts of different remedies but to no success. I have an appointment with the genius bar at Apple on Friday. Its my last resort at this time.

My iPhone 6 pairs perfectly with my holden Cruze they have a very similar audio unit. Maybe factory reset the audio unit?

My daughters iPhone 4 running ios8 pairs and works perfectly with my Astra J.
Sort of sucks you are having problems.

Do you have the latest software for the Navi900?

My iPhone 5 pairs perfectly with both my cars and is08. Its definately a phone/software issue. I will see what apple suggests tomorrow.

I do have the latest software as I needed it updated due to a navigation issue I was having when my OPC was delivered. I am not aware of any updates since.

I had not thought of that. Yeah that's right I read you can charge the battery when microwaving it for 3 minutes. I'll try it now...........NOT! Lol

Good to hear, nothing like getting frustrated when something doesn't work like it should. I actually almost picked up a iPhone 6...nice looking phone from a design point of view.
But going to wait for the new Xperia Z3 instead....bit of a Sony 5lut
