iPhone 11 on iOS 13 having Bluetooth connectivity issues

I contacted my auto manufacturer (Chrysler), and was told that the latest iPhone that they guarantee to 100% compatible with their vehicles is the iPhone 8. They say they won't guarantee any phone later than that to work. I was surprised since my iPhone XS worked flawlessly. I didn't start having problems until I got my iPhone 11 Pro.

Which tells you a lot about Chrysler; the iPhone 8 was introduced in 2017, which means they haven't bothered to test their software for around three years.

Auto companies do a really, really bad job of keeping up with technology, and three years in the phone business (as with the computer business) is forever.

This is one reason why sales of in-car GPS units with their $500 annual map updates is way down unless they are forced upon you in an option package in favor of always live map app updates on drivers' phones.

I don’t believe it’s the phone, I believe it is the IOS. I drive a MERCEDES, AUDI and JAGUAR.

The JAGUAR is the only car I have trouble connecting with.

There is a configuration issue with the phone connection component of the Bluetooth that the IOS runs ( my music still streams fine in the Jag ).

I have had the Jag to the dealer 3 times with this issue - they blame Apple and the current IOS.

all Jags and Landrovers of a certain age ( meaning with a certain infotainment system ) are having this trouble.

I just wish APPLE would listen to these stories as we are all very frustrated !

Older apple phones work because they aren’t capable of running the most current IOS.

my Apple 7 had no issues.

I've had an 11 Pro Max since launch and have experienced precisely zero of your issues.

The hangs indicate you may have a hardware issue with your phone; have you had it analyzed by Apple Support?

It is most likely a software issue, since this only started happening to most people after iOS 13.5+

iOS 14 Beta 2 had modem updates in it, so I hope that when iOS 14 comes out, most people’s problems will be resolved.

I have the same issue with my 11 Pro Max. The audio will stutter/skip when using Bluetooth. I’ve contacted Apple and ran diagnostics and it doesn’t seem to be hardware. They told me they are current working on it. Hopefully this issue will be fix soon. Has anyone managed to resolve the problem?

iOS 13.1.1 is out.

Maybe it has the fix?

Turned off HEY SIRI and all of my problems have disappeared.

Go to the Bluetooth-Settings on the iPhone, tap on the "i" on the right side of your paired device and disable synchronization.

I don’t know yet, if this helps.

If you still have Bluetooth turned on with your iPhone 6’s, Bluetooth will not work or recognize devices on your 11’s. Turn off Bluetooth on your 6 phones if you haven’t already.

I just chatted with Apple- they say contact the 3rd party developer and tell them to update their firmware.

Same problem with connecting my phone to my car but 13.1.2 fixed it as of this morning.

Contact Apple!! I think the more people that contact them, the faster it gets fixed!!!

Since updating my iPhone Bluetooth on my Renault Kadjar constantly connects and disconnects unless I turn updated contacts off. Worked perfectly before update.

Once again, please contact Apple Support directly if you are experiencing this issue so they can keep track of what devices are affected.

Thanks!

At this point, iOS13 is the common denominator.

Did you install iOS13 on your iPhone X?
