I had several bluetooth devices synced up to my 4s, but every since my iPhone 6 arrived, bluetooth won't even locate any of them. I found this article on the interwebz when I googled the problem

Anyone else unable to use bluetooth on their new iPhone 6?

If you can't connect your iPhone 6 to your car via Bluetooth, you're not alone. A bug is keeping many folks from establishing a connection, according to widespread complaints on Apple's online forums.
Some people have set up specialized discussion boards on the subject and others have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration. They say Bluetooth connections are either not working at all, or only partially. Some iPhone 6 owners say they can play music in their cars but not receive or send phone calls.
It doesn't affect everyone, but complaints are flooding in from people who drive Acura, BMW, Honda (HMC), Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota (TM) and Porsche vehicles.
Apple (AAPL, Tech30) did not return calls for comment about the problem.
According to one driver, Arfan Akram, Mercedes-Benz customer service suggested to him that the new iPhone 6 cannot connect because it has not yet been synchronized with the car maker's satellite navigation system. Mercedes-Benz did not immediately confirm that is the case.
The problem seems to be confined to the iPhone 6 alone -- not the new iOS 8 software recently pushed out by Apple. Drivers say their updated iPhone 5's and 5S phones work fine, but their iPhone 6's don't.

Airdrop hasn't worked for me much at all (iPhone 6 and 5S). The Bluetooth icon on my 6 goes on and off.

I had to delete the old phone from my car's system and then pair the new iPhone 6...but it works fine now. Connects after I start the car just like my 4s did.

Weird. My truck bluetooth stopped working a few months ago and I could not pair to the stereo for the life of me. Bought my iPhone 6 and voila, it pairs and works fine.
