My car is coming up as AirPods

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:

• Telephone: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support. 
• Online: Start your request online. 
• Chat: Live Chat with an Apple Advisor in Messages. 
• More Contact Info: Contact - How to Contact Us - Apple. 

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

Please clarify:

Was your friend able to pick the car as “Car Stereo” in Bluetooth?

What does “no slow music” mean?

Just trying to get a clear understanding of the situation!

Oh, and where does is take you when you tap “Learn More?”

Hello LQueen42!

Try this: Go to Settings > Bluetooth. Now, tap the blue “i” next to your car, then tap “Device Type.” Lastly, select “Car Stereo.”

I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Can you try to Forget Device, and then add it again?
