Iphone 12 bluetooth device search wheel just keeps spinning.

My iPhone 12 does not find any bluetooth devices. Even after shutting bluetooth on and off and rebooting the phone, we still get the spinning wheel next to devices, with no pairing code generated. SMH

Try pairing to the car again. I had no trouble pairing to my 2015 C-300. Make sure there is no car pairing currently listed in the iPhone, the same with the car. Then turn on the car, go to the phone area. Open Settings on the iPhone, open Bluetooth. On the car, go ahead and have it search for a vehicle. If you still have problems, then on the iPhone, go ahead and go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Then power cycle the phone and try pairing again.

We are trying to connect our new iPhone 12 to a 2010 Mercedes Benz C-300 Sport. Pairing our iPhone 6 was so easy. We turned on the car and unpaired the old iPhone and directed the car bluetooth to discover the new phone, it did. But the new iPhone 12 bluetooth search wheel just kept spinning. We already tried everything on your list.
