Iphone will not bluetooth auto connect with car or computer. I upgraded my phone from 8 to a 12 but the problem is still there so i assume it is a settings issue. With the latest upgrades there appears to be no settings for bluetooth except on & off. I have to turn blutooth off and back on for it to connect then it runs perfectly. I get in and out of my vehicle 20-50 times a day so it is a problem.

Its got nothing to do with carplay,carplay only works with a lead on my vehicle(works perfectly), the problem is with the bluetooth hook up so i can get phone calls and play music(car multimedia), i have the same problem with the blutooth on my computer. I have to turn the bluetooth on my phone off and then back on for it to work. I had no problem for the last 3 years and then after one of the updates it stopped working.
