just upgrade to the iphone 16 pro and bluetooth is stuttering with any devices, and doesn’t want to connect 90% of the time. Carplay, Garnin, Headphones.
I’ve tried turning off bluetooth, hard reset on the phone and still no luck….

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
I found the mentioned solution works: Settings-General-scroll to iPhone and choose Reset Network. The only thing is you have to go to Bluetooth, click on the info icon and choose Forget Device for every bluetooth device. And then you have to go through the process of re-pairing your devices all over again. The amount of time it is minimal compared to the amount of time of satisfaction with having working Bluetooth.

Duplicating threads and posts is a poor way to find help, or to help other users. This thread is long, but there’s good advice here that has helped other users — including the suggestion you duplicated. It’s also an active thread, and far from being ignored.
Congratulations on reaching 40,000 points, too — proud of you. 👍 I’ve also been here 25+ years, just on a different account. (Always nice to meet another iTools alum!) Never given much thought to collecting points, tho’. One of these days, maybe I’ll reconsider.

By the time a thread is 28 pages long, it's full of drek. Like Jeff, I would advise people to start their own thread describing their own problems. While this is an "active" thread in the sense that people are still posting to it, it's not active in any other meaningful way. It is largely being ignored by the very people who could help.
So I need to reset my phone and lose everything so bluetooth can work?! That is insanity. There has to be a way for this low tech 16 pro max to work with bluetooth. How dumbed down is this phone?! Pathetic
Also, let me be clear - there’s no way to make AirPods work as the LDAC protocol is not supported. You have to bypass AAC and use LDAC. Apple uses only the AAC protocol for Bluetooth. It’s the combination of the cell modem, the US cell network, and AAC Bluetooth protocol all using the same 2.4Ghz frequency.
I guess I’m missing something in your post. If so, sorry. Apple support for LDAC is not listed as being a supported CODEC on iPhone 16 PM. Maybe your spec sheet shows something different or I’m not understanding the issue and your solution. Sorry.
I'm having this issue with my 16 Pro. it's the second time that it happens within a month. I try to connect some device and the display 'froze' on the control center when I choose to select some device to connect on bluetooth. After that my bluetooth shut down and I can't turn on anymore until I restart the phone to recover the bluetooth connection. I updated to iOS 26 as soon as It was available.
Me too… bummer. I hope they can fix this with a new update. Not sure if this is solvable or something we’re stuck with
I have got the same problem, iphone 16 pro max, wireless carplay disconnects itself everytime! Please is there a fix for this?
Not that I have found yet
Same problem here between 2013 car and AirPods 2nd gen. Phone keeps switching back to AirPods and having to manually switch back to car.
As well as static and fading out all together on iPhone 16 Pro and AirPods 2nd gen while typing a text.
My CarPlay disconnects and my watch refuses to unlock ☹️
ran into this issue as well. 16 Promax 512gb
Unfortunately, this did not work for me
