Since updating to iOS 15.3, my car won't stay connected; bluetooth keeps connecting and disconnecting

Same here. iPhone 12, problems started after iOS 15. 2013 BMW.

Connection is iffy - sometimes connects, sometimes spins forever trying. When connected, I can play music but I can’t answer the phone, or if I answer on my handset it’ll keep ringing in the car, or sometimes I can’t do anything. Phone will think it’s playing music but the BMW radio will say “please wait” viewing the phone.

Last straw was when it interfered with a 911 call. I’ve removed device entries from both phone and radio since and am unwilling to reconnect them again.

Meanwhile, my partner’s Android works fine in that car, as does my phone in my slightly newer Subaru (still without Car Play).

I guess either switch to a non Apple phone or get a newer car?

Sorry to report that I discovered today that iOS 15.5 has broken Bluetooth functionality in my ‘17 Chevy Bolt EV. I’m back to the problems that existed under 15.3.x and were resolved by 15.4.x.

Of course, I deleted the car from the phone, deleted the phone from the car, rebooted the phone and the car’s audio system, then re-paired, and still no-go. If I do the audio-output toggle from

the phone after initiating a call from the steering wheel controls — switch to the iPhone’s speaker, then back to the car’s system — it will work, but that’s neither practical nor safe while driving.

I upgraded to 15.5 last week after reading up on the enhanced security features and the general consensus that it was a smart move to upgrade to it.

Now, I’m on the lookout for 15.5.1…

Guess I’ll start a new thread.

I have the same problem .

With IOS 15.3 dont work good bluetooth on my Bmw

I cant fix it

Same as everyone here. 2011 Audi S5 - can't stay connected. Have done the same actions as many of you... no success - connection continues to be dropped.

Exact same problem in my 2015 X1 without Car Play. Apple HELP! I use my vehicle as a mobile office and now I cannot (safely).

I have the same problem!

Thread bump. Same problem, 2011 Audi A4. Started with 15.3, no problems before.

I have exactly the same problem with my Audi!!!

Same issue with my 2011 BMW E92. Worked fine before 15.3 🤔

Tried that but still same problem ….

Nope. Made no difference. Nor did any of the other suggestions in this thread. Apple, gunna buy me a new Bimmer?

Who do we complain to at Apple?

Same Audi A4. If not fixed by apple very soon I’ll switch back to Android (better than change the car indeed)

iOS 15.3 1 released

BT issue still here :(

Yes! Same problem…☹️

I confirm @giupasco
