iOS shortcut triggered when a specific Bluetooth device disconnects

My girlfriend keeps forgetting her phone in our car, then after a frantic search she then needs to go back to the car to retrieve it. So I was hoping to make a Shortcut to remind her to take it when she turns the car off.


My plan was to trigger some Text-to-speech to tell her, "Don't forget your phone!", when the car bluetooth device disconnects.


However it seems that Bluetooth device connection as a trigger, only works when a specific Bluetooth device connects and not for a disconnect, which is what we need.


Disconnect from Apple Car Play looks like an option for some people, but unfortunately not for us since we don't use Car Play.


Any chance of Apple adding Bluetooth disconnect as a trigger feature for the future in Shortcuts?


iPhone SE (3rd generation)
