What happens when you try? Are you trying to use Bluetooth in the car, or a Bluetooth headset? Have you checked to see if Do Not Disturb While Driving is activated? Have you verified Siri's settings? If you are trying to use the car's Bluetooth, have you had any work done on the car lately where they may have updated the car's Bluetooth?

For your iPhone to connect to Bluetooth, the vehicle has software to do it. That can get updated as needed by the dealer to keep your radio and system updated. That is what I was asking.


If you go to Settings>Siri & Search, is Allow Siri When Locked turned on? Otherwise, I'm not aware of any other settings for this. Check the phone settings in your vehicle.
