Since iOS11 Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

Since I upgraded to OS11 my iPhone 6 keeps disconnecting from the Bluetooth in my car, a Mazda 6 2015 vintage. To reconnect I have to select the phone on my cars infotainment unit and off it goes working for a while longer until it again disconnects mid song. This didn’t occur prior to OS11, any ideas?

I'm having similar problems. At first it would pair with my car, but nothing worked and it kept dropping and reconnecting. I searched online and found suggestions, and tried them all except for factory resetting my iPhone 8 and starting over. So far I'm at the point where I deleted my phone from the car, deleted all bluetooth pairings from the phone. Turned off the car, turned off bluetooth on the phone, and restarted the phone. At this point I started the car, turned bluetooth back on on the phone and repaired. The connect/disconnect/reconnect is still happening, but not as frequently (minutes instead of seconds), and when it is connected, everything appears to work. I hope they can fix this in a new firmware and it isn't a hardware problem. I do also have my iPhone paired to our home phone, and I'm not having the same problem with it. It's not a signal strength issue as I have have my iPhone on another floor in the furthest point in the house from the base station that it is paired to, and the bluetooth still works.
