iOS 17 or 15 Pro Max Bluetooth connection issues with Volvo car

The steps you outlined are verbatim out of Apple Support’s “standard playbook” and they do not work.

there is a serious Bluetooth defect with the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I have the exact same problem with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I know that the phone is the problem because:

A) The issue is occurring in both of my Infiniti, my Mazda and home’s Bluetooth speakers.

B) No such issues exist with my iPhone 13 Pro Max or my iPhone XR.

apparently, Apple engineers have been asleep during the development and release cycles of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I am having the same issues with regards to Bluetooth connectivity

cannot connect to other I phone

plus cannot connect to CarPlay in my Nissan QashQai

I had no problems with my 13 pro max

only now with the 15 PM

Did all the standard steps as outlined by apple but doesn’t work

Hi

i bought a new iPhone 15 pro max and the call audio is not working on my Volvo xc60.

the same Volvo Bluetooth is working in iPhone 11 Pro which I am still using.

unabe to solve.

The iPhone is uptodate and Volvo software also is update.

the call gets connected but only iPhone speaker or iPhone audio options are available no Bluetooth options.

but I am able to play Spotify and audible audio on Volvo with same phone.

This is the issue only with calls. Pls update the solution

Hello MattL211,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Go into your Car's setting and forget your device and connect it again using these steps:

"Connect using Bluetooth

1. Restart your device.
2. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, and turn off Bluetooth. Wait for about 5 seconds, then turn Bluetooth back on.
3. Check the manual that came with your car for more information on how to pair with a Bluetooth device. Most cars require a phone setup on the car display. 
4. If you've connected multiple phones to your car stereo, try renaming your device: Go to Settings > General > About > Name, and type a new name. Then try connecting again.
5. Update your device.
6. Make sure that your stereo is using the latest firmware from the car manufacturer. Check your car's manual for more information.

If you still can't connect, contact Apple Support."

If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Are you able to test with another vehicle to see if the same thing happens?

Cheers!

I have gone through ALL the steps repeatedly, went to the Apple store, AT&T and Tesla and no one has a fix for my problem. I have iOS 17.5.1 on an iPhone 15 Pro Max and this started in April, 2024. It is now July, 2024. I have been trying to connect my iPhone as a key for my 4-yr old Tesla using bluetooth. Thousands of people have problems using bluetooth and connecting to their car with the iOS 17.5.1 update. This is all over the net on various community forums. My iPhone 14 was fine until I updated to iOS 17. I thought it was an issue with my phone battery and traded it in for the 15 pro max.WHY ARE YOU NOT SOLVING THIS ISSUE WITH YOUR SOFTWARE??????????
