Can’t Connect iPhone 13 Pro with Bluetooth [solved]

[zoiks66]

Edit: If anyone else experiences this issue, I was able to pair the iPhone 13 Pro with my Model 3 using this method:

1. Turn off Bluetooth on the iPhone 13 Pro.

2. In the Bluetooth settings on the Model 3’s screen, touch the Search button to search for a new Bluetooth device.

3. Enable Bluetooth on the iPhone 13 Pro just after the Model 3 begins searching for a Bluetooth device.

4. The Model 3 then finds the iPhone 13 Pro, and I was able to successfully pair the iPhone 13 pro with the Model 3.

What was the issue you were having? By default, iOS devices are only bluetooth discoverable when you are on the bluetooth screen.

Text messaging integration broke for me when I upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 15.

I am trying the suggested sequence, but all I get on the Tesla screen is “searching”- but it never discovers my iPhone 13 pro.

Never mind. I got connected. I was not pressing on my phone’s name, which was higher up on the screen. Thx for the advice.

Does not work for me. At all.

Mine ended out being even easier. After the car told me to turn off bluetooth on the phone and turn it on again, it linked immediately. I did not even need to relink it.

I’m having the same issue. How did you fix it. I have a system update but I can’t get it completed because my iPhone is not showing up as an option in the menu of my Model X

I had the same issue. My model Y would not pair with my new iPhone 13 PRO. I tried what is suggested by turning off Bluetooth on my phone and turning it on as my cars start searching for Bluetooth devices. And it worked.

I had the same issue with my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I did all the above and successfully added the device, etc. but I was unable to set the new phone as a key, i.e. removed old phone, etc. but the Tesla app would spin forever and ask to enable bluetooth, which was obviously enabled and connected! the ultimate fix was to delete the Tesla app from the iPhone, download again from the app store and start fresh and that did the trick, new phone was added as a key and all is well now.
