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

Experiencing similar problems with a 13 mini and 2011 Mercedes. In my case, the Bluetooth problems are intermittent. At first I thought it was cell signal fading in and out but after close inspection I confirmed the signal strength was fine and could switch to speakerphone and have great quality. For me, the Bluetooth problems can appear immediately or hours later (during a long drive). I can be having a conversation and then loose my microphone and/or voice. It never completely disconnects, but the call becomes non-functional and I have to hang up and replace the call. Tried a variety of measures to reset everything and still the problems continue.

15.2 doesn’t solve the issue. Wiped my phone, doesn’t help either. Left my Apple Watch at home… didn’t help. Apple has worked with a bunch of people, collected a ton of log files. I don’t think they know what’s wrong.

I’ll tell you what works perfectly, an older iPhone or android.

Same here, even worse, the phone does not get connect to the Bluetooth system on a 2007 Toyota Yaris, syncing it always ends with a failed sync, you don't even get to type the 1234 code. BT in-car system is not guilty, it works with any other phone including the most recent Android stuff.

Not a car connection problem, but my Phonak PartnerMic/iPhone is suddenly losing connection.

I have had an iPhone and Phonak's PartnerMic for about nine months. The iPhone/PartnerMic connection has been excellent, very solid, and a 50 foot+ range. The last week or so, the connection has been poor. Today it lost connection three times in about five minutes, all within a 10' range. This particular location was a grocery store we visit several times a week. Both devices had been charged recently. I recently updated to the iOS 15.1.1 on my iPhone 12 mini.

My iPhone 7 worked fine with my 2019 RAV 4.

iphone 13 works ok when cabled but not with Bluetooth. Everything is updated. Trying to deal with American Family’s Know Your Drive App. Car does not recognize a Bluetooth device. With older phone I did not have to cable to use phone or app.

Now I do and sometimes the connection is still gnarly. Read and tried everything I could find. Aggravated!!!

I have Volvo XC60 with hands free phone system. Worked fine with Apple XR which I replaced one week ago with Apple 13 pro and now it the car phone system has gone haywire. Have tried everything - repaired twice, changed phone name, car can read calls logged etc and phone shows that it is connected to my car but calls just either won't go through or won't connect to speakers - its a nightmare - nearly crashed trying to end the call on the car which kept saying it was still in progress when it clearly wasn't. Then kept showing 'hands free off' sign in the car phone panel... I am at my wits end. Spoke with Apple but they said they don't have this problem and to check with Volvo for an update - but on here it is obvious they do. The XR had no problems at all. Feel like going back to it

So far with my Apple Watch off, all Bluetooth issues have gone away from my AirPods and car. Anyone else tried this?

It happens with my iPhone 13 too. Don’t switch your phone, that won’t fix this darn issue!!

Where’s the fix Apple? Come on! The 13 is useless.

Not using MagSafe

just plain bluetooth

Well we’re in the same boat buddy. It’s really annoying my 12 pro max never had any issues at all. Shouldn’t have upgraded smh.

Hey I’m saving the same problem with my headset too. Have you found a way to fix it??? Thanks

But my Know Your drive app from American Famiy worked wirelessly with my iPhone 7

Have you checked with the dealer/mfgr?
