Auto connect Bluetooth??

[Mikey88Chaos]

So I paired my v20 Bluetooth to my Kia Forte Koup without any problems, and it works...BUT whenever I get it in my car and hit the BT icon in the second screen - it doesn't connect automatically... anybody else have this problem ?

That's weird. I don't have a Kia but when I had the V20 it would automatically connect to my car system as soon as it was in range. Have you tried unpairing them and pairing them again? Did your car connect automatically before to another device?

All other phones I've had connect automatically to the car. I already un-paired and paired back.

It's annoying because it kills the advantage in having that always - on second screen on top, being able to hit the toggle so quickly to connect!

I think I've figured it out. I'll have to see how it goes for the next little while but all I had to do was set my phone as the priority connection in the dash settings in my car. Since then it's worked like it's supposed to.

Ah! Sorry, like I said, I don't have your specific car, but mine doesn't have that option, it just pairs automatically with the last device. Glad you found it and hope that does work!

Damn, it stopped connecting automatically again. not sure why this is happening, works fine with every other phone I throw at it.

I solved this same 'non auto-connect' issue on my LG G7 ThinQ by installing this amazing free app from the Google Play Store: Bluetooth Auto Connect https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect
