Hello lolifar,


I found a couple of resources that have steps to troubleshoot issues with connecting your iPhone with a car stereo.


I recommend reviewing the section titled "Features and app interaction>Bluetooth" in the following article:

iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections

I also recommend following these steps:

Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories

  1. If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
  2. If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
  3. Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
  4. Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
  5. Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
  6. Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
  7. If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.
