In regard to Bluetooth as I mentioned above AL has tried everything even using different BT chips in their own BT module and its still having issues. Since AL uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) so it does not run down your phone batteries that is where the issue is on Apple's end with BLE devices. That is something we still need to wait for apple to address.
    Couldn't have said it better myself. The BLE devices are definitely at the heart of the problem. There are rumors of a 8.3 IOS release soon.

    Separate from BLE iOS 8 has just generally been a disaster for bluetooth in general. 8.1 helped with some, but not all of that.

    It's so bad that some users had to completely reset their iiphones and car stereos to get consistent connectivity. Some of the details and fixes people have tried are documented here. This is occurring across a wide band of bluetooth devices that work fine with non-Apple operating systems or iOS before version 8.

    At this point, the main answer seems to be...wait for iOS 8.2. There's rumors that Apple snuck in bluetooth fixes that were not in the release notes in iOS 8.1.2 because some people say it fixed their issues, but a lot of people are still having problems.

    EDIT: Also, the 1.8 version of the ALPConnect fixed the location services issue as promised...
