iPhone 13 keeps disconnecting from car bluetooth

Hi mhalaM,

Since the issue still persists, contact Apple Support here: Get Support

Best wishes.

Same issue here. This is in a 2010 Mercedes W164. Everything worked great with an iPhone XR, but once I "upgraded" to an iPhone 13 it went to pot.

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.

i have the same problem, i can’t connect any ios 15 phone to bluetooth on my vw jetta, but only new phone, if you have allready connected an ios 14 phone and updated tot ios 15 ther is no problem and same if i want to connect ios 14 new phone no problem…

Hello,

Have the same problem with Bluetooth connecting to a VW Golf 6 with RNS510 after upgrading to iOS15 on a iPhone 12 Pro. Tried all the "solutions" find online (Restart Bluetooth, Forget Device, Reset Networking Settings), even disconnected the BT module under the seat with no fix what so ever. Only managed to connect with Media but can't use the Phone for calls.

The next update IOS15.02 didn't fixed this issue at all.

Hoping to see more reports about this bug and hope that the next update will finally resolve the issue.

Same issue here. iPhone 12 and 13 Pro Max have bluetooth issue with my car's bluetooth handsfree (it's Volvo XC60 2010). One call goes through and then second one completely freezes my car's dashboard and stops communicating. Have to shut down the engine of my car for it to "restart" but doesn't work again after one call. Already submitted two feedbacks to Apple in the Feedback assistant app. Submitted with full logs, Apple still don't care. Also went to the dealer to have my car updated, that did not help either!

This is frustrating for a 1500€ phone! iOS 15.1 official release did not help either.

(iPhone XS Max on same latest iOS works fine - weird right?)

My bet is they are tying to fix it... probably madly doing so... they won't acknowledge it here for fear of liability in case one of their customers suffers an accident or worse still a fatality due to their faulty software

We have the same vehicle and are experiencing the same issue. My husband had a work call and it hung up three times in a 25 minute car ride. Mine does the same and it happens constantly. Very frustraing.

I am having the same issue. I started a discussion as well. Here is the link so others can check both places in case a solution is found.

Same issue 2017 Toyota Tundra, iPhone update 15.1. I drop calls after a few minutes. I have updated firmware on entune. I have reset both Bluetooth devices, paired again, contacted Apple support, no luck. I had no issues prior to the 15.1 update. Also the update caused

the entune screen to lock up a few times. It’s never done that in the history of owning the truck.

I have just bought an iPhone 13 pro and have a similar issue with Bluetooth. I am a gamer and my Turtlebeach 700 headset will connect, but, since moving from my iPhone X people say they cannot hear me or I sound robotic to them. This only happened when i changed phones and have tried resetting and repairing connections and still no changes. I am running out of options and about to return my phone and move to Samsung if this cannot be corrected.

Same. My 12 Pro Max has worked perfectly with my 4Runner. Now after updating to iOS 15.1 randomly a dialogue box pops up saying accessory is not supported, yet nothing is plugged into my phone at the time. Only thing accessing my phone is my 4Runner’s bluetooth. In addition calls are no longer supported. Call may be carried over my car Bluetooth for a minute or two, then it’s term’d and transfers back to the handset. Not okay! And this is after repeatedly working through toggling BT on/off, forgetting devices, powering off my device as well as my rig as has been repeated online. None of it has solved the issue.

There are handsfree laws for a reason, this makes Apple an unreliable product for being lawful and safe. I’m tempted to leave Apple products altogether over this!

Yes me too, absolute nightmare! My phone disconnects mid call mid journey in the car. And when you cancel the call the car thinks the phone is still on the call. Then the Bluetooth drops and takes forever to connect to the system. Why doesn’t apple revert to the previous software which works perfectly?? Come on apple get this sorted!!

I did not have this resolve when I upgraded from my iPhone 12 Pro to the the 13 pro. The 13 pro was setup as new and I did not transfer any settings. I have had the problem on both my airpod pro's and both my cars only during phone calls or zoom calls.
