    Hey All,

    So my Bluetooth stopped working and I am unable to connect my phone to play music. I replaced the Bluetooth module and “reset” battery. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Is Bluetooth turned off on your phone? Try a second phone to rule out any phone issues

    iphone? did you update the os recently? apple doesnt strictly follow bluetooth protocols and with older bluetooth radios it can cause issues.

    Yes iOS. So if the problem is with the phone, there is no fix? I picked up one of those bluetooth recievers that connect to the aux jack, but it is not ideal.

    Try other phones so that you can determine if the car or the phone is the problem

    Otherwise it might be time to get rid of your ficher price piece of shit phone and get something that works with products from other manufacturers

    Could be old tech in car not working with new tech phone. Android had the most issues in newer gen mazdas when I sold em. Not sure if there is even new firmware available. Might be a good time to upgrade.
