iPhone 14 Pro Bluetooth pairing issue with car stereo

“Bluetooth issues: I have an iPhone 14 Pro and all of a sudden it won't show up under devices. It says it's discoverable as iPhone2 but it never shows up. Now I can't pair it with my car stereo. Any suggestions would be helpful!”

Thank you for the screenshot.

Troubleshooting iPhone Bluetooth:

Start Here: If you can't Connect a Bluetooth Accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

No Success?

Try the Following:

A. Restarting the iPhone:

If any changes were made (i.e. Installed Apps), then Settings (i.e Wf-Fi), may have become manipulated technically. So, try restarting the iPhone:

1. Go To: Settings
2. Tap: General
3. Tap: Shut Down
4. Slide: Your Finger to the Right

B. Disable, then Enable Bluetooth:

In Settings, try disabling Bluetooth, and then reenabling Bluetooth, seeing if that makes all the difference.

C. Try manually restarting your iPhone:

1. Go To: Settings
2. Select: General
3. Scroll to: the Very Bottom
4. Select: Shut Down
5. Slide Finger: to the Right
6. Wait: 30 Seconds
7. Power One: the iPhone
8. Try this Once More

D. Reset All Network Settings to Default:

Example of items that will be reset: (Wi-Fi Passwords, VPN Connections, etc). So, take a screenshot of your credentials so that they are not lost.

1. Go To: Settings
2. Tap: General
3. Tap: Reset
4. Tap: Reset Network Settings.
5. Enter: [Your Passcode]

As a Last Resort:

E. Restore form a Backup:

Have a backup of your iPhone? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when Wi-Fi was working. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration.
