iPhone 6 and sync

So I paired my new phone today and I can stream Pandora and use voice commands to make a call but I have no audio and have to switch back to the phone in order to make a call.  Just wondering if anybody else has ran into this.  I didn't have time to try and trouble shoot since I was on my way to work for the day.
 
Should have waited and bought a note 4. :)  Sounds like it's a software issue that sync isn't able to use. I'm sure if it is the cars fault ford will make an update.
 
I figure typical new tech trying to work with old and an update will follow to fix it.  Like I said, I only tried to make a call on the way to work.  I may even figure it out once I have a few minutes to play around while not in motion. 

You will never catch me on Android.  lol  I am an Apply guy and since my whole house is there just isn't reason to switch.  I don't knock Android, I just say pick a platform you like and stick with it to make things work together better.
 
Did you try to perform a master reset,it erases all the history and restores sync to factory settings.

Yeah I understand. I used to use iphones but found a new world of performance phones. Now I cannot stand anything slower.

You could check in your call setting on your phone and make sure it is setup to use bluetooth. 
 
Must be a minor error,and I would try it again; nothing should have changed with how the iPhone operates.  I doubt if Apple even changed the BlueTooth radio, let alone the software stack... too many aftermarket devices would potentially stop working if they did. 
 
It seems I am not alone.  Just in case anybody else runs into this here is the fix.  I will try this after work and update with results for me.

Being an OC computer nerd... The suggested work around on the Apple site referenced below is exactly what I did to start with my wife's iPhone 6 and her 2013 F250.  She is having no issues.  I will be sure to do it when my iPhone 6 plus gets here next month.

Oh, you ordered the shoe sized phone.  I didn't even want to go bigger than my 5s but I guess the majority have spoken on phone size.  At least the 6 still fits in my pocket pretty easily.  I am stopping off at Best Buy on my way home to pick up a new armband for the 6 and I want to check out just how big the 6 Plus is in person. 
 
The only issue I have with my iPhone 6 is that the MAP feature doesn't work. Apparently Ford supports MAP on iPhone 4 and higher--so no text message notifications at the moment. I talked to my buddy at Ford and he said they are aware and working on it.

So right now it's pretty much a calling device and iPod. I do love how it functions when it's plugged into a USB port. I can voice command and see album art. It's awesome!
 
With the iphone 6 they know your having trouble pairing,map issues with sync,there watching and listening.
 
Exactly why im going back to a windows phone, I hate not being able to reply to a text all though my voice commands without having to ever touch the screen or my phone. iPhone 5s here btw

I had this problem with my iPhone 6 plus. I pulled the fuse for the sync system, put it back in, and it started to work again. No problems since.

Once iOS 8.1 hit I was able to get it to work.  They fixed it with that update.  Now I am ready for Ford to release the App Link update for Sync that is supposed to be coming.

Ford is going to update our older gen 1 sync systems in the 2010-2012 cars?
