    Screenshot_20260626-161512_Settings~2.jpg My new to me 2019 Prius Limited is really pissing me off with its Bluetooth.

    When I first started driving the car it paired with my 2025 Moto G seamlessly. However, in the last month, the Auto pairing has been disconnected, and any effort to reconnect generates a message that the pin is not correct.
    I know that my smartphone's Android version was recently blessed with the security update, but I don't know how to backdate to a previous version of Android so that I can connect again. Is there any way to reset the Prius so that it might be able to pair once again?

    The reason why the Bluetooth pisses me off is because it repeatedly interrupts my Android phone every 10 seconds trying to pair, but the result is always the same that the pin is incorrect. I can't even use my Bluetooth hearing aids in the car without being constantly bombarded with connection requests. Is there any way to disable the Bluetooth in the Prius? Thank you.

    It depends on the display, but I'm sure there's a way to unpair (delete) the Bluetooth connection to your phone. I'd start with that, even if you wanted to re-establish the connection at a later date.
