Bluetooth Issue

I use my iPhone as my music source through the bluetooth connection. The car is a 2019 Stingray. The phone is about 2 years old. From time to time I have problems with losing the bluetooth connection. Sometimes it will cut out and back on every 10 seconds or so. Anyone else have this issue? Is it the car or the phone? Is there a way to tell?

Thanks.

My only reply would be to take the battery out of the phone and then put it back in

I was having the same Bluetooth issue with my iPhone in my C7 also, Bluetooth can be really flaky sometimes. I started using Carplay and never looked back. I get the added benefit of my phone getting charged and there is also no lag between switching tracks.

Yeah...if you have an iPhone, you're definitely getting your music the "wrong" way.

Connect a lightning cable and let Apple/Siri do all the work for you.

Apple makes is easy by including everything in the OS on the device. Android users have to download an app and hope it doesn't disconnect from time to time.

You missed the big one. Carplay, like AA, plays music through real wires! Your USB connection. And the frequency response is vastly improved.

I have glitches here and their with AA.I found that leaving your wifi on your phone while using bluetooth messes up the connection with Pandora.
So keeping that off fixed that in the Corvette.
Then switching to the GMC Canyon.The share devices icon will pop up,rarely.
So that will almost make you throw the F'N Phone out the window in the high speed lane so it really breaks apart!!
IT Can be a PAIN IN THE NUT SACK!!
