Q: There is an issue with connecting the bluetooth on my Iphone SE to my 2016 Lexus.  Iphone 5 worked perfectly on the same car, changed the phone and it will just not recognize the car's bluetooth in order to connect

Hi Maua786,

But first, please take a look at the links below to assist with the bluetooth connection issue. If it still can't be sorted out, try using the Setup CarPlay link to see if that works.

Have a nice day.
