Is there a way to reboot bluetooth without turning car off?

About 10%-20% of the time, bluetooth on our prius v 2012 does not work well (or at all) after the car starts. Sometimes a song from the iPhone is endlessly loading. Sometimes a song loads but the it stays frozen on the Prius screen, not actually playing.

If I turn the car off and then back on again, the problem is usually solved and the music starts playing in about 20-30 seconds.

Is there a way to force that same bluetooth reset without having to turn the car off, and then back on?

 

Which button do you mean? The Prius power button? If I hold it for a few seconds, doesn't that turn the car off?

Or do you mean some other button?

Occasionally, if I turn the radio button off, then back on, it causes the blue tooth to connect but that is not nearly as reliable as turning the car off then back on with the power button.

 

Ok that looks like the button that turns audio system on/off. I've never tried holding it for several seconds before. Will try that next time Bluetooth is failing and report back if it works (or doesn't).

 

I've only had a couple times since posting this that I needed to reboot bluetooth. The above method did NOT work. Turning the car off then back on DID work, as expected. So at least with my Prius v 2012, I'm back again to asking the original question:

Is there any way to force bluetooth to restart without the drastic step of having to stop the car, power it off, then power the car back on again?

 

I meant a way to restart auto bluetooth. My iPhone is fine, as evidenced by the fact that turning the car off then on again gets everything to work fine. The problem is that about 1 out of 20 times when starting the car, the prius v Bluetooth isn't working right and needs to be reset. The only way I have found to do that reliably is to power off the prius v then power it on again. Sometimes I do this a stop sign or light to fix the bluetooth.
