This toggle is annoying because what was once 1 press to turn on BT is now 2. It gets me every day.

    I have the opposite. I have never a reason to turn off Bluetooth, but always want to connect of disconnect devices. this is so much better than long pressing.

      My wife’s car is extremely aggressive. The second she turns it on, it steals my Bluetooth connection. I could be mowing my lawn, listening to music on my phone, then suddenly hear nothing, and it’s because my wife got in her car and was suddenly blasted with my tunes.

      I tell my phone to forget her car’s Bluetooth connection, but then I’m constantly harassed by pop-ups on my phone every minute saying her car wants to pair with my phone. I can’t get it to stop pinging me. It sees a Bluetooth device in range and then spams it, trying to connect.

      So yes, I like to keep my Bluetooth off until I want to use it.

        Sounds like your phone is top priority. Either clear it off the car or move her’s up to the top spot.

          Some cars it doesn’t matter - it will attempt to connect to whatever device it sees.

          If it happens to see his first, it connects.

          I’ve seen these problems for years with integrated BT in cars. I hate it.

          The best answer I’ve found is to pair, then turn off all connectivity within that Bluetooth connection on my phone.
