It sounds like you are unable to get your phone to pair with your vehicle. To help troubleshoot the phone side of the equation I would suggest you use the troubleshooting in the following article:
Get help connecting a Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Try these steps first
- Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory and iOS device are close to each other.
- Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is on and fully charged or connected to power. If it uses batteries, test them to see if they need to be replaced.
- Restart your Bluetooth accessory.
- Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is on. If you can’t turn Bluetooth on or you see a spinning gear, restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Unpair the Bluetooth accessory, put the accessory back in discovery mode, then pair and connect itagain.
If you still can't pair or connect your Bluetooth accessory
Check with the Bluetooth manufacturer to make sure that your accessory works with your iOS device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Thanks for this.
I'm sure I've done all of these things, but to be sure, I'll try No.6 again.
Naturally, it will be the car manufacturer's fault for not future-proofing their Bluetooth, rather than Apple's for not making theirs backwards-compatible
