Hello,
My iphone 5s used to work perfectly with my Kenwood DPX500BT head unit. Sometime recently, I suspect it was when ios 8.x was released, audio from phone calls don't come through the speakers. Pairing works fine, as Bluetooth Audio is working, eg siri, music, and audiobooks work fine. The phone call connects ok, only there is no audio. I've tried Reset Network Settings and even a complete reset and restore of the phone.. no luck. Kenwood head unit has latest system and bluetooth firmware. My Nexus 5 works perfectly.
Any ideas?
iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.2
