Unpairing an old watch from an iPhone when both are connected to a car as digital key fobs will prevent you from establishing a cellular connection with a new iwatch as the iPhone will not let you break the digital connection between the car and the iPhone and the iwatch. The digital connection between the car and the iPhone and iwatch can only be deleted via the car s operating system. Neither Apple nor Verizon have a work around.

Contact the car manufacturer, who is that anyways? Also models and OS versions will help. Also, assuming your car came with a manual describing steps how to connect a phone/watch, same manual should have the reverse
