iPhone 13 keeps disconnecting from car bluetooth

Hello,

I have issue with my iPhone 13 mini and iOS 15. Bluetooth works very well - basically Spotify through the bluetooth works without any issues.

However calling via bluetooth is really issue for me. I used my bluetooth in my car and also my handsfree device. Unfortunately the situation is the same - if I want to call via bluetooth then the phone call is cancelled after few minutes (sometimes 2 minutes, sometimes 6 minutes).

Could you please fix this?

Thanks

Martin

Try to apply this: Go to the settings --> find bluetooth --> headset --> accessibility --> touch --> call audio routing and change it from automatic to bluetooth headset. That helped to me.

I find it interesting; haven't encountered an Apple employee yet who has ever heard of this issue! Thanks for sharing another potential solution.

I believe if you click the “i”next to your car BT under my devices, you should see DEVICE TYPE - choose Car Stereo.

My BMW is a 2012 - no CarPlay. Am I stuck with no bluetooth calling option? I'm amazed that Apple isn't trying to fix this issue.

Apple only notes yet more security fixes for 15.3.1.

What I don’t understand is that the iPhone XR worked perfectly and the iPhone 13 pro max doesn’t. What is missing in the 13 pro max?

My iphone 6s worked great too. I think it is the iso software version 15 and the subsequent software upgrades. My 6s couldn't download the newer ios versions.
