Never said it was ALP at fault. Merely asking the question to ask if it was looked into by the team as many of the Apple issues have appeared to have been rectified and ALP would be able to answer that. They are great at upgrading and doing all behind the scenes work and for one to dismiss the issue and say it is all Apples fault would be wrong unless it has been physically tested.:frusty:
I think you need to read the article you posted. First three paragraphs the guy says it was a manufacturer issue for him, that a manufacturer update solved, and don't jump to blame Apple. And later he says wait for 8.1 (which beta testers indicate fixed many issues). Some of us waited and are back here posting because 8.1 did not solve the ALP issue.Quote:

I'm being patient by the way, I have not asked for a refund since I know this is a bug and will likely get resolved eventually. Not unhappy with the product or my decison to purchase. Just anxious to get what I bought working again.
Dear OrlNme
Please see extract below from the post you said before pointing fingers which contradicts yourself

Before continuing on, remember that some devices, such as car systems, may have compatibility issues until an update is issued. For example, during the beta versions of iOS 8, my car frequently dropped during music playback. After a week or so of the official version being released, my car's system received an update that has since seemed to resolve the issue.
In short, make absolutely certain iOS 8 is to blame and it isn't an issue that needs to be addressed with the accessory manufacturer. And if you're still sure your iPhone or iPad is the issue, continue on through the follow steps to troubleshoot the problem.
Is it possible to go back to previous ios7 settings, not a tech guy just wonder
AMEN!!! you are all correct. Thanks for the feedback. We all have the right intention and different approaches. Sorry if I over stepped my boundary.
Happy Friday, Steer clear from speeding tickets!
My 5 connects as soon as I get the car started, not my 6. Don't get MPH on either.
Im a bit peed off that I can basically no longer use my iPhone 6 iOS 8 in my car.
I don't know who is to blame and have had to reconnect the control pad.
Is it Apples fault? They have a new phone, so, the way I look at it, isn't it the developers who build the Apps the people who are responsible to ensure the App works, NOT the other way around?
Im not trying to be a pr... am just trying to understand when and who should be fixing it and, I don't see it is necessarily Apple. AS stated, if it is something in the iPhone 6 that is hindering the communication to the b/t module, then if developers develop apps for the Apple system, its more logical the ALP have to do the research to see what is the issue that their App is compatible.
On the other hand, I do see how bugs Apples side can prevent an App from working
So, is it the chicken or is it the egg?
ALP connect works fine on previous iPhones with no issues. Even older phones that were upgraded to IOS 8. The issue is with the iPhone 6 and there is no reason they would design it so that apps that worked on previous versions would not work on their new version.
This seems to be a trend lately with the industry. Take the Xbox One for example... Release a new Xbox that does not work with the $1000's of dollars of games that customers bought for their Xbox 360's.
AL is looking into the issue but they are not alone. There are still thousands of other complaints still active with other BT issues with other products.
I don't agree. Everything worked fine on the "6" before they released 8.0.Quote:
