Bluetooth Randomly stopped working

///M-er-gized · 11-27-2017, 09:12 AM

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my iPhone isn't connecting via Bluetooth.

The thing is that both my phone and car tell me it's connected, but then when I actually try to make a call using the smart buttons I previously programmed, the car gives me a message that it's searching for device, and nothing happens.

I confirmed I'm using the right key, and I tried shutting the car off completely several times.

So aggravating. Up until now, it has worked flawlessly since I've had my car.

Did anyone out there ever experience this? Also, any suggestions on how to resolve this?

I found the problem. In Bluetooth set-up for this specific device, phone usage was turned off. Weird.

I must have done that by accident (I guess). Not really sure what happened, but everything is fine now.
