Not sure if anyone else has run into a problem syncing their phone with their car (maybe other devices too), but I had a hell of a time getting mine to sync with my Subaru and my wife's Lexus. The phone and cars could see each other, but the phone never gave me the option to enter the PIN/passkey so the cars would reject the connection. I searched all over this and other forums for a solution and couldn't find anything that worked. Verizon tech support was, of course, no help either. I finally found a thread on the Google Android developer page where people were discussing a similar problem with their Galaxy S4/S5 phones after updating to 4.4.2 and 4.4.4. It turns out all I had to do was set the passkey in both cars to 0000 (Subaru default was 1234 and Lexus was 1111) and it worked first time.
I'm still not sure why the phone doesn't give me the pop-up to enter the passkey when pairing. Hopefully, that will get sorted out with the pending Lollipop update because I imagine there are some devices that won't let you change the passkey.
Just thought I'd pass this along to save others the same headaches.
