For some reason, it will not pair in the E70. Anyone else had an issue?

Operator error?  Have you cleared down any unwanted pairings?

Not cleared the old one yet, I only had the old iPhone 4 as a paired device.

On the iPhone 6, it sees the car, but it just will not connect and is just "circling" on the phone until it times out.

My Iphone 6 paired OK after I had deleted a couple of older phones from the list.  I think it only holds 5.

You will be pleased to know that all is well now. Paired it in the car without the engine running this time (previously I was in a traffic jam and could not use my phone so was trying to pair it "on the go").

Good grief, don't you have a chauffeur, or is that your job?
