This is a very funny issue. I’ve never seen it before, nor did I find a similar thread in the ASC Forum.


Please try one last thing. Remove the car from Bluetooth, and remove your device from your car’s Bluetooth or Phone page, whatever your car uses to list this. Now, turn off Bluetooth on your device, and turn off your car. Next, Force restart iPhone. Now turn your car back on, and try to reconnect.


If the issue persists, then I apologize, but I cannot assist you further. You should now reach out to Apple Support here:



If you don’t mind, please reply back when you’ve solved the issue, and explain how you solved it. Thanks a lot!

I am sorry. Yes they were able to connect to my car and select the device type but when I do it, the message of not real AirPods comes up.


My Spotify music will play normal speed and then when I go to skip it slows the song down. But when my friend was connected and skipped on Spotify it was totally normal. I believe this is because it thinks I am on AirPods not a car.
