Unable to connect iPhone 16 to my car via Bluetooth

The latest update did not fix the bluetooth issue, any updates on when it might be fixed? I really need to use it in my car.

I have no issue connecting my iPhone 16 Pro Max to my car, via Bluetooth.


Did you:


Open the infotainment settings in your car and forget the previous phone you may have paired with it?

Open Settings App on your iPhone > General > About > Name and give your new iPhone a different name from the previous phone?


These are often two reasons pairing may not work with a new phone to a cars infotainment system.
