Bluetooth audio

[Mark Lanuza]

2019 MXP bluetooth audio keeps reconnecting after I leave the vehicle and lock the car. I’m at work or home and car is parked within BT distance. Any advice would be appreciated. I did a search prior to posting but may have missed it if this was addressed already

I guess you don't really mean bluetooth audio as the title says right? Are you simply looking at the Tesla notification on your cell phone? If so, I believe this just means the phone app has a connection to the car through bluetooth, that has nothing to do with audio. It can send some of the commands through BT instead of going through the internet connection, That's all. There's no audio involved and it is not a problem.

Yep, that's the way that Bluetooth works. If you are paired with a Bluetooth speaker and get close to it, audio will flip to the speaker.

Switch off Bluetooth when at office
Make sure that when you answer a call, you switch the audio

I can’t turn off Bluetooth on my phone because I need it for other devices. Even if I'm stationary outside my car and have audio coming out of iphone speakers and listening to a podcast or watching YouTube, it will switch randomly to Tesla BT and the audio goes to my car. No interaction from me. Not moving closer to car to elicit the switch. This isn’t all the time. Sometimes after I exit my car and lock it, BT is disconnected and everything is fine. Only occasionally does BT still remain connected

It's not a random as you think, but most people would say it is random.

When the phone and the car get into a position where they can hear each other, they'll connect to each other. If your phone is in your font pocket, it will hear you better when going to the car. If is in back pocket, it will hear you better when leaving.

If you are inside, you can try putting some metal between the phone and the car. Just placing your phone on different parts of your desk will usually make a difference.

Oh, you're really talking about audio in the car. That is surprising. The car is supposed to only take on bluetooth when you are sitting on the seat. Maybe your seat sensor is defective?

Hmm maybe. I’ll check with SC. Thanks for everyone’s input
