I drive a particular route several times a week and have noticed that my Bluetooth connection cuts out at certain points. It's like the audio starts glitching, cutting in and out rapidly. This happens at the same locations every time I drive, primarily near stop lights and when passing under some wires, which might be power or phone lines. Is it possible these things are causing interference, or could there be another reason for the interruptions?

Also, keep in mind that older car stereos can be hit or miss when it comes to Bluetooth connectivity. If your stereo is dated, that could contribute to the problem.
Have you checked if it's your car's Bluetooth system or your phone's connection? Sometimes, a weak cellular signal can cause disruptions in audio playback too, especially if you're streaming music.
It sounds like there might be some radio frequency interference (RFI) at play here. Certain electronics and even power lines can interrupt Bluetooth signals, especially if you're driving close to them.
That makes sense! I never considered that it could be due to RFI affecting my Bluetooth.
I was thinking the same thing! Maybe it's worth testing it out with another phone.
