Default Bluetooth issue

I have a 2015 RC F and every time I start the car my phone connects but after about 10-15 secs it automatically disconnects. It then reconnects after 25 secs then it never disconnects. Only on startup. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. Anyone else having the same issue?

Yeah it's super annoying. The music's starts and then all of sudden my phone says Bluetooth has failed and then reconnects. EVERY TIME.

I wonder if it's a phone specific issue. My Nexus 6 and iPhone 6 connect without problems. Did you try to completely remove the phone and add again?

Mine has been solid so far, not a single drop - iPhone 6. Would probably be helpful to know device type to determine if that's part of the issue or not.

When I get home I'll try to disconnect and reconnect. I'll see if I can borrow a friends iPhone 6 and see if I can duplicate the problem. The weird thing is that it connects perfectly to our '13 LX570.

my only issue is that if I don't drive the car for a day I have to remember to turn off and turn back on the Bluetooth on my iPhone otherwise the car can't find the phone.


pretty sure it is a phone issue in that the Bluetooth goes into some kind of standby mode, as this behavior has happened on my last 2 vehicles and my wife's iPhone exhibits the same issue in her car, so 3 different makes/models with same problem leads me to believe it is the phone and not the car.

So I connected a iPhone 6S and it worked perfectly. After deleting my Samsung and adding it on both the car and phone, I can conclude that it is the phone. I was watching the phones bluetooth menu and bluetooth kept turning off. It is the only car in the garage that has this issue. I'll see if I can find some solution and post it if it works to help other people with the same issue.

I had same problems with my Samsung Galaxy S5, not S6.

I found out after I did the MAJOR automatic phone software update with the tech specialist at a Lexus dealership ALL OK NOW. The whole process was over some 30 minutes plus for the download on my phone and install and reboot.

Now my Samsung Galaxy s5 connects solid with no problems.

I hope this helps.
