Why does my Hyundai Elantra lose Bluetooth connection o r fail to pair with my phone?

A recurring complaint is that the Elantra’s infotainment system will either fail to connect via Bluetooth o r connections mid-use. This is most common in models with Android Auto o r Apple CarPlay, particularly from 2016 onward. The problem may stem from incompatible phone software versions, outdated vehicle software, o r a weak Bluetooth module. Resetting the system, deleting and re-pairing devices, o r performing a system update can often fix the issue.
