Same problem: intermittent "dialing itself" when initially connected via bluetooth. Have tried various resets - no help.

Interestingly it has happened on my old Audi, my new Tesla and a rental Audi. So it seems to be the phone not the car.


My latest theory is that it might have to do with Siri - so I turned off the Allow "Hey Siri" feature. Stay tuned.

Hi Pharao-nael,

I understand that after updating your iPhone to iOS 10, it starts to call itself when connected to Bluetooth. I know it's important for your iPhone to work as expected, so I'm happy to provide help for this.

Since this only happens when connected to Bluetooth, the first thing you'll want to do is unpair the car:
Set up and use third-party Bluetooth accessories - Apple Support


Unpair a Bluetooth accessory

To unpair a Bluetooth accessory, tap Settings > Bluetooth, find the device you want to unpair, and tap User uploaded file , then Forget this Device.

When you Forget this Device on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that accessory is removed from the list of available Bluetooth devices.



Ensure that your iPhone is not trying to call itself after unpairing it, and then you can pair the iPhone and car again:

Pair your device with a Bluetooth accessory

  1. On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth. Stay on this screen until you complete the steps to pair your accessory.
  2. Place your accessory in discovery mode and wait for it to appear on your iOS device. If you don't see it or aren't sure how to make it discoverable, check the instructions that came with your accessory or contact the manufacturer.
  3. Tap your accessory to pair. You might need to enter the PIN or passkey. If you aren't sure what your PIN or passkey is, check the documentation for your accessory.

When pairing is complete, you can use the Bluetooth accessory with your device. You can pair multiple Bluetooth accessories with your iOS device. Just follow the steps above to pair additional accessories.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, cheers!
