Continually dropping BT connection

[Xolinlevh]

In the last week or so, the connection to my phone seems to keep dropping off and (mostly) reconnecting every couple min. I'll be listening to a podcast and it will drop and pause, then reconnect and resume... I cleared and reset the connection, to no avail. Has anyone had this happen before and know what to do?

iPhone 14 pro fwiw....

Man, Bluetooth sucks on the f15.
I hate the sound delay.
Sometimes certain phones just don't work as good from what I've experienced.

Try a different app on your phone. Or, better yet, try a different phone with a different app altogether. Also, it wouldn't hurt just to check if your phone and the current app need new software updates. My phone with youtube music works perfectly on both of our cars, but for some reason, the GF's go-to app (I can't recall the name) was super buggy on both of the vehicles, even after she switched from an 11 pro to the 14 pro max.

Interestingly i tried Spotify and then apple's Podcast apps...both worked fine. Seems to be unique to Pocket Casts....guess im changing apps :P

You could always just cable connect it .... that's always a better choice for clarity, especially for music.

Most recent phones don't even have a audio jack.

Just use the lightning to USB cable, the iPhone transmits audio through that, you don’t need a dedicated audio jack.

Is there a dedicated usb port for this in the F15? Or would any in the front do?

Look in the center console compartment and if all else fails, the manual may help. That's where I plug in, it's a USB type A (at least for my 2014 F15). Page 175 in the manual, same USB port used to update Nav maps.
