What If My Phone Has Connected to Hyundai Bluetooth Before, But Won't Now?

If you know that you've successfully connected your smartphone to the Bluetooth in your Hyundai before, then there may be some other things to look into in order to find out why it isn't working currently. There are a number of reasons, so here are some of the top ones:

A new app on your phone could be affecting the phone's ability to connect. You may attempt deleting the phone's automatic pairing and try from the beginning.
Some phones have a trust mode that needs to be set before they can connect to Bluetooth.
Recent operating system updates can also affect Bluetooth connectivity. As with No. 1, deleting the profile from the phone/vehicle and attempting to sync to Bluetooth as though it was the first time may work.
Once the vehicle is turned on, it will attempt to locate a Bluetooth connection for the first 30 seconds. If your paired phone is not in the car for those first 30 seconds, the system will stop trying and you will need to sync manually.
Lastly, if the issue is simply that your phone can connect but won't do so automatically, check to see if your phone has a setting that can be changed for automatic Bluetooth connection.

In just about any one of these cases, adjustments are required to your smartphone to determine why the phone won't connect to your Hyundai's Bluetooth. Of course, if you suspect that the problem lies with your vehicle, you can certainly contact us at Coastal Hyundai or schedule a service appointment through our website.
