Hello,

I'm having a Bluetooth connectivity issue with my new iPhone X. In my car I usually connect to 2 Bluetooth devices - the car's built-in handsfree system for phone calls, and a Bluetooth A2DP adapter that connects to the car's AUX input for streaming audio (because the car's Bluetooth system does not support audio streaming).

This configuration has worked perfectly on my iPhone 6 Plus for years. With my new X, however, whenever the Bluetooth streaming adapter is connected, the phone connects and disconnects from the car's handsfree system every minute or so. If I cut power to the Bluetooth streaming adapter, the connection to the car is stable. Running the latest iOS 11.1.2 on both phones.

Anyone else having this issue? A quick search turns up many people experiencing Bluetooth issues with the iPhone X, but I haven't found this particular one.

Thanks,
cinergi
 
I’m having a similar issue. My music cuts out from my bose Bluetooth speaker if somebody else who has used it has their Bluetooth on. As soon as I have the other person turn their Bluetooth off the music streams fine. Hopefully the issue can be fixed with an iOS update.
 
Disappointing that this basic feature is broken in a $1000+ phone. Hope Apple is listening.
