iPhone 15 Pro Max won't find bluetooth devices

"iPhone 15 Pro Max won't find bluetooth devices: I thought it was an issue with just my watch at first, but it's paired with my car exactly 1 time, and won't stay paired, and it won't find most bluetooth devices. Every once in a while it's picking up a random device, but it's never the one I have in pairing mode. This is a real hassle for a brand new phone I just spent a ton of money on."
