Can you update the firmware for bluetooth in the car? If it's an Android phone, the bluetooth may have been updated and is no longer compatible with the car.
You could try deleting your phone profile from your vehicle and phone and set it up again.

Their was no problem for 3 months. Deleted the phone and the Bluetooth several times and it didn`t make any different.
It is not the phone [Android], as it works fine in other vehicles.
The same result with my wifes phone. No update on bluetooth, tried every thing in the book.
I am not a fan of the Bluetooth protocol but we seem to be stuck with it.
A friend bought a new Volkswagen which refused to pair with his expensive phone. After much investigation the dealers said "Sorry, but it simply won't work with that particular phone" which left him with a choice of buy another car or phone.
The only other thing I can think of is to disconnect the car battery for 30 minutes and then try again, it is *just* possible the car radio is caching the previous connection data even though you think you deleted it, I am not optimistic though.
Another thought; do a "Factory reset" on your phone?

You need to looknat what has changed. Are both your wife's phone and your phone identical or remotely similar ? The phones may have updated. Have you installed a new app ? Resetting your audio system *might* help also, but just pull the fuse (no need to disconnect batteries).

There is a need to disconnect the battery.
The radio (head unit) will be connected to the vehicle's CAN bus and may store a copy(s) of its data in another processor on the network, it just depends what the design spec. required.
Additionally, it may be that a cold boot may only be commanded by a supply monitoring processor and if it doesn't see a power loss for (say) greater than 10 minutes will not command one. Again, without knowing the design spec. it's impossible to say.
If it were me; I'd disconnect the battery for as long as possible, overnight or better 24 hours. There may be central memory for user data and variables held up by a supercap although more lightly it will be EEPROM in which case you're stuffed :)

The entire canbus will be fused and disconnecting batteries isn't necessary. We don't know the vehicle type, in fact there's a lot we don't know about the OP's vehicle and phones other than they don't want to talk to each other.

Different types of phones.
After a lot of searching I found the solution which others have suggested. Disconnect the negative on the battery for 2 -3 seconds. The phone now works.
From what I have found this can be a problem with Mazda bluetooth. [2012 Mazda]
Only one problem now is when the key is turned on the phone some times will not connect. Press the phone button and go to the phone which has been paired and click on it and the phone work.

Suggest you do a little further research and establish the Versions of Bluetooth that your vehicle and phone are running. It may be also beneficial to try pairing the phone by both methods, using the car search function and using phone search function to see if one method is more reliable than the other.

Gravy, Disconnecting the negative termal on the battery fxed the problem. what it did, I don`t know. but it is OK now. For some reason it is a Mazda problem from what I have read.
