I understand the Bluetooth option on your iPhone has been greyed out. I can understand how this may be concerning, especially if you use Bluetooth frequently. I'd be happy to provide information that may help you out.

Have a look at this article: If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
The quoted snippet seems to apply more to this situation.If you still can't pair or connect your Bluetooth accessory
- If you previously connected your Bluetooth accessory to your iOS device, unpair the accessory, put it back in discovery mode, then try to pair and connect it again.
- If you can pair your accessory with some devices but not your iOS device, unpair the accessory from your other devices. Then try to pair with your iOS device again.
- Check with the accessory manufacturer to make sure that your accessory supports your iOS device.
- If you still have any of these issues, contact Apple Support:
- You can’t turn on Bluetooth or the setting is grayed out.
- You can’t connect any Bluetooth accessories with your device.
- The accessory manufacturer confirmed that your accessory is working correctly.
