Unable to connect alpine car stereo with iPhone 7

I have tried several times to connect my iPhone to my Alpine car stereo with bluetooth. My wife iPhone connects instantly but mine won't. I have removed the alpine car stereo from my wife phone and tried mine again but it will not connect. What am I doing wrong?

Hello StanJanice,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're unable to pair your iPhone 7 to your car stereo via Bluetooth. I would be happy to help point you towards a resolution.

Here's a resource that can help:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod doesn't connect to or work in your car - Apple Support

Specifically, try the steps in this section:

If you connect using Bluetooth

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, and turn off Bluetooth. Wait for 5 seconds, then turn Bluetooth back on.
  3. Check your car stereo's user manual for how to pair with a Bluetooth device. Most cars require a phone setup on the car display.
  4. If you've connected multiple phones to your car stereo, try renaming your device: Go to Settings > General > About > Name, and type a new name. Then try connecting again.
  5. Update your device.
  6. Install any firmware updates for your car stereo.
  7. If you still can't connect, contact Apple Support.

Cheers!
