Device doesn’t show up anymore in my iPhone Bluetooth

After I forgot the device the Bluetooth won’t search my cars name. Like I can’t pair it because the device doesn’t show up anymore. What do I do to get the device to appear?

bluetooth not pairing to car since 18.1.1update Since the 18.1.1 update, my iphone's bluetooth does not recognize my car to pair with. I have tried all the suggested fixes I can find, turning everything off and back on, looking for the pairing device, it doesn't show up on my phone at all. It will find other devices as I get in range, but not my car. I drive a 2017 Ford Escape, could that be a factor? (I have a 12 max pro) What can I do to fix this?

iPhone 13 Bluetooth issue I just got an iPhone 13, upgraded from iPhone X. All of a sudden, my car keeps dropping Bluetooth periodically. Just drops and reconnects. Doesn’t matter if I’m on the phone, listening to music or not using the phone at all. I have the latest iOS (16.5.1), I’ve tried forgetting the phone on my car Bluetooth and I’ve tried forgetting the car on my phone. Nothing works. It’s annoying and, more importantly, distracting and dangerous.

On your device, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. Stay on this screen until you've completed the steps to pair your accessory.

If CarPlay isn't working as you'd expect, check your settings, connection and vehicle compatibility.
