iPhone not allowing some contacts in car

I usually don’t have a problem with my phone connection through the car when making a call but lately some contacts are not connecting.

I have deleted and replaced the contact but it doesn’t help.

I cannot see any logical reason why my car will allow some calls and not others.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

iPhone 13, iOS 16

When you look deeply you will find that Contacts are neither stored on an iPhone nor on SIM. They are synced to an email account that you may have added and enabled Contacts. It could be Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other email client server.


When you enable Contacts in any of the email accounts they are displayed to you through the Contacts App. When you edit these contacts on an iPhone they are ultimately edited on the client-server.

If you are unable to find your contacts which were stored in the email client, then try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using ...


Check if the email account has been removed from the iOS mail app.

Add the email account that stores your contacts in the IOS mail app and enable Contacts.
