iPhone 7 won't stay connected to bluetooth in car

50% of the time when I get into my car with my new iPhone 7 the bluetooth connection fails immediately and I have to re-pair it, type in the bluetooth password, etc. Then it stays connected until I turn the car off. This happens about 50% of the time and never had any issue at all with my iPhone 5, 6, or 6s. I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata.

iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2

I have the same problem - Subaru XV 2014 model. iPhone 6 was fine and connected every time no problem. Upgraded to iPhone 7 and have to manually connect on my phone every time. I think it's the phone, not the car.

I have the same issue, My iphone 5 and 6+ worked fine with my car, and the 7+ doesn't. I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. I have cleared all phones from my car, and turned off it's Bluetooth system and turned it back on. I have deleted the pairing in my phone, and re-paired it. I have shut off and turned back on my phone, and my phone is up-to-date in it's IOS version. My phone works with other devices just fine. I'm guessing it's the car, and will have them check the system for any updates when I am there next, but if someone gets anything more substantial I'd love to know!
