iPhone 13 Pro loses bluetooth connection to car 2-8 minutes after starting a phone call

So I can make the occasional phone call but when trying to play any media through Bluetooth in getting a service unavailbe. This is a deal breaker for me. Definitely starting to regret leaving my Note 20 Ultra behind.

Have a 2015 Tundra and my new iPhone 13 is pathetic, pay all this money and this phone is useless, drops calls actually locks up my Entune system when using Bluetooth, called Verizon and they had me shut off 5G , this still didn’t work, my iPhone 6 Plus never had this problem, big mistake in upgrading.

I had to get a new car and it connects to the phone over Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth like the old car did. I had switched to my Samsung Note, no problems. Though, with Wi-Fi, Problem solved with the iPhone 13 Pro.

That said, I know most cars only connect wirelessly through Bluetooth and if I didn’t have to get a new car, or I bought one that used Bluetooth, I would still be using the Samsung.

I agree- it would be nice to hear something more official from Apple. I know they are working on it, but this has been going on for months! My iPhone XS had no issues. Contemplating seeing if I can return/exchange my iPhone 13 pro.

I agree!! I have always had the lower line apple phones and really thought I was doing something when going for this 13 pro…nope 👎 lessened learned!! I’m so disappointed that Apple is not making good on this product.

well, sorry to hear, but good to know its also happening on the 12... I was thinking about going back to 12, but if that is the case, then its more likely a software issue with iOS 15. Still crazy that they haven't acknowledged or fixed this yet. Its clearly a major issue.

15.2 doesn’t help, there’s definitely a problem that they refuse to deal with, I was told by Verizon that it’s the changing from 5G to LTE , that’s also not true, when I updated my EnTune it made it a Toyota app , Apple need to do a complete recall on all 13’s, I am really disappointed in this, my 6 plus never had these problems, I wish I would have never upgraded 😡

I have issues connecting my iphone 13 pro to my car as well (Toyota camry 2015). Calls are disrupted with any notification sound (lock sounds or text message sounds) on the phone. Same happens with music too. I didn't experience this with my iphone 8plus.

I agreed with all you guy’s opinions and experiences. All Apple and verizen and Toyota are basically Bull ******** us. I was told that Apple never admitted that they are wrong, but in this case they are.

I updated and did the on off Bluetooth and any other tip trick I could find on the internet to try. I have a Toyota 4 runner and it drops every call. Came from X to 13 pro and it was a down grade for sure…. I’m miserable with this phone 😩

That all my incoming calls are now working fine via car bluetooth (I can even accept them on the steering wheel). But I have issues with making outgoing call from my steering wheel (sometimes). It works from the iPhone display. But sometimes the outgoing call disconnects the bluetooth and then you need to pair them again.

Cannot sustain Bluetooth connection. Everything worked fine in this regard with my iPhone 7. iPhone 13 nadda! Got the iPhone 13 in October. No problems before that.

I have a RAV4 2019.

Exasperating!!!

Same problem here, but with an iPhone 11 with version 15.2, no matter if connected thru Bluetooth or cable, phone calls doesn’t work. Before the update it worked and never had any issues. Car is a Toyota Corolla Touring sports from late 2020. Not sure I want to upgrade to a newer iPhone having issues like this for months,not being able to use the phone for calls …. Help is needed apple!

My iPhone 13 connects to Bluetooth stereo in the car but as soon as I try to switch it over to media so I can listen to Apple Music it will not work!!! I just want to listen to my music and have spent long hours trying to fix an issue that’s clearly not fixable.

I could not get any other answer from support other than I needed to check with my car manufacturer, which happens to be Toyota, regarding an update on their end. Support told me it’s not a phone problem it’s my car. 😩 It’s so frustrating! I read where someone used their usb cable and that worked for them, but it didn’t for me.
