Bluetooth audio cutting out during phone calls in your car
Bluetooth in cars has a short range and gets weak easily, especially when there are multiple devices connected. Forget and reconnect to the car's system. This fixes it. If it still cuts out, disconnect any other Bluetooth devices nearby and try a test call.
Your car's Bluetooth system can only handle so much data at once. When something else is connected or the signal gets weak, the call quality drops. Reconnecting to the car refreshes the connection and fixes the problem. If the problem continues, other devices or radio interference in your car is competing with the phone call, or the car's Bluetooth module needs an update.
- ✓Check if you're in a metal-heavy area like a garage or underground parking. Bluetooth doesn't work well there
- ✓Check if the car's Bluetooth is showing as connected on both your phone and the car
- ✓Check if any other Bluetooth devices like headphones or smartwatch are in the car and turned on
