Odds are your bluetooth device was connected to your previous phone. Here is what I did to correct this problem.
On your old phone, go to it's settings and go to bluetooth and disconnect the device or forget the device.
Consult the owners manual of the device you're trying to connect, or look it up on the internet to get the instructions for that device to pair with bluetooth.
Follow the instructions on how to pair that specific device. Some want you to have your iPhone X turned on and searching for bluetooth devices, and some do not, so follow that manufacturers directions as if it is a brand new device that has not been paired yet.
This worked for me, and all is good in my iPhone X world now.
I would recommend to call Apple Support and report it. Also make sure that you request to speak with the senior support. I have my case with the Swedish senior support.
Return the phone. It's clearly defective. I have two iPhone X. Neither phone has ANY issues connecting to any Bluetooth device or car I've connected them to.
Did you delete the previous phone from your vehicle's memory, then try to pair? You have to pair the phone to the car as it's a new phone and it won't automatically connect. For previously connected devices, you have to pair them again as well.
yes - I tried to re-pair all my devices. My phone is not discovering the devices. Just cycles. I can see it discovering other devices (none of mine)....I have powered it off several times as well to restart. Is there a setting I need to click that I am unaware of? I didnt have this problem with any other phone.
My phone has been paired to both my car (porsche with PCM 3.1) and the Automatic OBDII adapter. However, over the course of a short drive it will disconnect and then reconnect periodically. Sometimes it won't reconnect, but manually going to Settings/Bluetooth and I force it to reconnect.
Several times I've been on a call and the BT drops. And I have Waze configure to use BT Audio and often the audio quality is extremely poor.
My iPhone 7Plus worked perfectly in the same vehicle.
Last night I tried to connect my Bose Bluetooth headphones to my iPhone X. I was able to connect with my daughters iPhone 7 and my other daughters' iPhone 5S, but no matter what I couldn't see it on my iPhone X - 1,000 dollar phone and 130.00 headphones. All of these devices have the latest iOS on them, so it isn't a iOS issue in general.
I’m having major problems with Bluetooth connection with my iPhone X in my 2017 BMW X3. Phone keeps connecting and loosing connection and it keeps crashing the cars iDrive system.I tried everything mentioned in all the replies here and nothing works. I took the phone into an ATT store where they ran a diagnostic and found that the phone has a faulty Bluetooth.. I have an appointment today with an AppleGenious .
I agree with you. Rbrylawski. Changing the name of the device always works. But for some reason that wasn’t the fact before .1 update push. It seems to work now. At least now we can pin point where the issue is.
I have iphone x, and my wife has on. We tryd to connect both to mercedes w212. We could connect. One was called iphone the other with the name of my wife.by both we lost connection.we made a reset with mercdes comand system and with the phone. Same problem, it is loosing connection allways log in log out. Same problems discussed here in germany with other cars like bmw and audi. My iphone 7 plus worked perfect.so iam sur it is a problem of the x please help

Garry - FWIW my setup is quite similar to yours. In the car I have the iPhone X paired with PCM as well as a BadElf Pro GPS module. I see Bluetooth disconnects on both. I also plug in a lightning-USB adapter and a Audioquest Firefly Red DAC for aux out.
I too thought that the more complex setup, which worked fine with my iphone6, was causing the problems. However even when unpairing the GPS device and not plugging in the USB adapter, I don’t see any change with the disconnects to PCM - it continues to disconnect/reconnect every few minutes.
With 4 headsets it will work (with frequent disconnects) for music but it will not work for phone calls. The outputs that work are the iPhone and the speaker. The bluetooth output is displayed but when selected, it will remain on the iPhone output. I reported this to Apple using the support option and the problem was noted without remedy. I was advised to report it using the feedback link.
I also believe it is a software problem and await a fix.
It’s sennheiser wireless. Yes I even turned off my 5s in order to connect my headphone with x. Actually I think the x’s Bluetooth signal is quite weak, because when I use 5s, it can shows many devices, but when using x, only two devices shown. Don’t know whether it is sofware problem or not.
I am having the same problems in NZ with an iPhone X i purchased yesterday. Originally had an iPhone 7 Plus which connected to everything perfectly. Bluetooth will not recognize any devices. It connected to my car stereo for about 5 minutes. Playing music it would stop and start every couple of seconds (Presuming dropping in and out of connectivity). I also have an Apple watch. Will not even recognize the apple watch. Will not pair with apple watch through the apple watch app, cannot see apple watch when trying to pair manually. Have tried all steps - Renaming iPhone X, Forgetting all devices and trying again, Reset all settings, software update (currently 11.1.2), Am now at work with 20+ bluetooth devices - Does not recognize/pick up any devices, have done a hard reset on all of my bluetooth devices, including the iPhone X... Still no good. Will try return the device today.
I have the same issue. iPhone X with iOS 11.2 beta 4. The main culprit is connecting to an in-car dash HUD (Navdy), and it will disconnect / fail to connect every few seconds with normal bluetooth, or perhaps the bluetooth LE connection is the one that is spotty. Either way, renders the HUD useless as it relies on notification forwarding, audio, music playback control, navigation all from the phone.
Outside of the above, also had issues at first pairing / keeping connection with the car's bluetooth, but that is seemingly stable. The accessory with bluetooth, bluetooth LE is highly unstable though.
This happens 4 different Bluetooth earpieces and frequently my Apple watch disconnects. It is not still connected to my old phone since it was wiped clean and sent off to my cellphone carrier.
It is clearly an annoying bug with iPhone X devices that Apple needs to squash.
