iPhone Bluetooth keeps disconnecting from your car
Bluetooth disconnects are caused by a weak connection between your phone and car, or by settings that are conflicting. First, forget the car from your iPhone's Bluetooth list and pair it fresh. This resets the connection. If that doesn't work, check that you haven't connected the same phone to multiple Bluetooth profiles in the car (like phone and audio both at once).
Your iPhone and car are struggling to keep a stable Bluetooth connection. This happens when the connection gets confused about what it's supposed to do (calls versus music), or when the pairing gets old and needs refreshing. Forgetting and re-pairing is the quickest fix. If the problem only happens with one car, it's a car settings issue, not your phone.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
