My Bluetooth connected devices keep dropping off Bluetooth. I am able to pair them again but it does not last. I am especially frustrated that my Honda (2026) keeps loosing Bluetooth connection. I have followed the troubleshooting instructions to clear the devices, etc. My phone is a iPhone 16e, iOS version 26.2.1. Any suggestions?
iPhone 16e, iOS 26
Yes, please update to iOS 26.3 released just a few days ago. Multiple users on various social media platforms are reporting better pairing after updating. After updating I suggest deleting all devices from your Honda’s listed devices and then pairing using the Honda’s head unit.

In addition to Jeff's excellent advice, if you have a VPN installed on your phone, used or not, get rid of it completely. VPNs cause issues like you're experiencing and aren't needed on iPhone at all.
Thank you. Interestingly, I just received the update alert. In the process of updating now. I will proceed as you suggested after the update.
Thank you. I checked and I do not have a VPN installed. Good to know this for future reference.
My 15 ProMax does the same thing with my new Kenwood Apple CarPlay and my AirPods. Does the new iPhone 17 line do the same thing?
