Hello: I've upgraded my SE to IOS 13. Now, when I'm in my car the bluetooth keeps trying to connect. and most time fails or will connect for a couple of minutes then disconnects. I've deleted the car and re-paired the phone to car..same thing...Anyone else ?? Quick fix?? (I've never had this issue previously)
 
I also have this issue.. iOS 13.1, iPhone Pro and Opel Mokka Bluetooth.. keeps disconnecting, then reconnect for 1-2 minutes and so on. Never had this problem before. With iOS 13.0 was still worse... no way to connect. iOS 12 was working flawlessly. Any idea?
 
Updated to 13.1, still having issues. My phone will connect, play for like 1 second, disconnect, re-connect about 30 seconds later and then I have to manually hit the play button on the stereo to start the music again, so annoying!
 
i have the same issues! In my case it disconnects after 30" or so... but just twice each time! Then it keeps connected. iPhone XS Max with a Jaguar audio system
 
My issue is that sometimes my iPhone 11 pro can connect to my dodge bluetooth and sometimes it doesn't. I'm also having more drop calls since iOS 13 than I have had in the past 6 years combined.... INTEL MODEM? Probably......We need Qualcomm
 
IOS 13.1.2 not much better. I have had the iphone 11 and pro bluetooth from hell. I drive a 2017 Highlander. Both phones keep dripping out at a fast rate. Plus my ear bluetooth that I use at work was doing the same thing, more so on the Highlander. What upset me the most is when I called apple. They told me I was the first one to have this problem. I am lucky I did not use my 6 for a trade in. I went back to the 6 yesterday.
 
Similar issue here, it seems.
I purchased a new iPhone 11 and successfully connected it to my car's bluetooth system (2014 Chrysler with UConnect). Today, when I started the car, the phone would not connect via bluetooth (either the phone or the music player).
Tried turning everything off and back on. Removed the device from the car and phone systems, and attempted to re-pair. Now it won't even pair. The car's unit enters pairing mode, but the phone won't see it or list it in the Bluetooth screen under "other devices".
I've confirmed that all other connected Bluetooth devices work just fine with the phone (speaker, earbuds, Watch, etc...). Seems to just be the car system that is problematic.
If anyone finds the fix, I'd sure be appreciative!

BTW - anyone tried resetting Network Settings?

I just returned my iPhone 11 because of the bluetooth problem. I was lucky that I did not trade in my iPhone 6. I think it will be sometime before a fix is out on IOS 13.
 
I had the same problem, the long and short, if you have BT problems after iOS 13 and it applies specifically to 3rd party apps (pandora, spotify, proprietary devices/tools that connect in the app, NFC, Home Automation devices, etc, etc).

Goto Settings > (App Name) > Bluetooth (toggle on).

This is an iOS 13 feature to protect your privacy from apps that don't actually use BT. However the BT protocol has different functions and features that can cause very strange behavior if the app is trying to use it but not accessible like the app connecting sometimes and sometimes not connecting, random disconnects. Or Play/Pause/Fwd/Rwd not working or causing disconnects. Or the app loading very slow in general.

Once I turned it on the DI FM app started working like it was in iOS 12. Its not a bad idea to go through all your apps and just turn it on or really think of a good reason the app needs or doesn't need BT.

Hope this helps someone.
 
Finally seems to be resolved for me. Unpaired from the car's settings menu and did the "forget this device" option from my phone then re-linked the two and now things are working... at least for 2 days so far :)
