Bluetooth issues with iPhone

Good morning all. Just curious if anyone else has call drop issues with iPhone? My old 7 series was rock solid. Never dropped. But….it died so I upgraded to a 12. Anyway after about 5 min the call drops. Bluetooth still shows connected but the phone will not play through audio. I removed the old phone and removed this one and reinstalled. Thoughts?

 

If I had to make an informed guess (and I'm a nerd, so I do LOL) I'd say it's an issue with iOS 15.x. I say this because there are many people experiencing it out there, *AND* it's not just Toyota owners who are experiencing it.

Unfortunately I can conform that the latest iOS release (iOS 15.3 beta) doesn't fix it. There's an update for the 2020 Tundra non-nav head unit as of 20 November 2021, however....don't know if that helps things any.

 

I had the same issue for over a year, even with the old IOS version and 2 different iPhones. Didn’t have one issue with the android. There are a lot of finger pointing but apparently the iPhone doesn’t always work well with the stock head unit. I like the stock head unit but I need my phone to work while driving, I finally gave up and started looking at aftermarket head unit/amps.

 

Man. I had my old iPhone on my 13 tundra. Never an issue. Got a 19 pro. No issues with the same phone. That phone breaks and I get a new phone. Next day…..drops all the time. Only thing different was the phone model. Same IOS. Seems like the phone to me.

 

IOS 15.2 came out, hopefully it fixes this mess

 

Nope. Been beta testing it for a month or two, and same issue.

 

We’ll that sucks, I only use the Bluetooth for calls and that doesn’t even work anymore. What a mess

 

So for the last few days I have been looking at new head units to fix the Bluetooth issue. From what I’m reading a new head unit for fix anything because the problem stems from the iPhone…

 

I think it’s the Toyota HU. My problems all went away since I installed the new Kenwood and use CarPlay.

 

I don’t believe it is the head unit. My old phone flawlessly for 5 years through 2 tundras. I get a new phone and the very next day it drops repeatedly. The only thing different was going from a 7 to 12 series iPhone.

 

My phone did the auto iOS update last night. When I got in the truck this morning, my phone would not pair with the truck via Bluetooth. I deleted TUNDRA from the phone’s available DEVICES in the Phone’s settings list, and then re-paired the phone to TUNDRA. It now works again. It’s a very easy fix.
