iPhone 12 Pro Max Bluetooth music gets really slow

while listening to Bluetooth in my Ford Transit the music will start getting choppy then slows down like an old record. Closing the music app doesn’t change it. Opening another music all gives same result. I’ve also noticed while connected to the same Bluetooth. Apps like Facebook will not play sounds on videos unless I’m playing music. It’s really weird. I’m not sure if it’s a Ford thing or what.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

Hello Xzombiex66,


We understand the Bluetooth audio connection in your car is choppy when using your iPhone. We'll be happy to help.


Does this happen when connected to other Bluetooth devices? If so, we'd recommend using the steps here to troubleshoot the audio quality issue: If the sound from your wireless headphones cuts out or is distorted

Just got my 12 Pro yesterday, and it’s doing the same thing. I did everything Google told me to do - deleting from car, reloading, turning BT on and off, etc., etc. Stumped them at the AT&T store, though they suggested updating software in my Subaru. I did. Didn’t help.


My music works on CarPlay but not Bluetooth. Very upset if this is an issue that can’t be resolved. :(
