Alternate way to power reset radio/bluetooth?

[SirBean]

On my 16 Sierra and Samsung S7, my bluetooth frequently doesn't connect properly, loses its connection, freezes, or does whatever it can to frustrate me after I have started driving down the road. (I know its just sitting there giving me the invisible one finger salute... (no I'm not bitter, I swear...))

 

Anyway, the only way I know to correct the issue is to completely power the radio down by pulling over, turning off the truck and opening the door to kill the retained power. 9 times out of 10 this solves the problem and my phone properly connects quickly. "Turning off" the radio with the button doesn't work. I can reset the phone but that takes too long and is cumbersome.

 

Anyone know an alternate way to accomplish this while on the move?

Pull the radio fuse

Try turning off the Bluetooth on your phone, then turn it back on to re-sync.

Thanks for the suggestions. Hard to pull the fuse while driving and resetting the phone doesn't work. Its something with the radio. If it doesn't connect the first time I have to shut the whole truck off. Seems a bit ridiculous to have to go that extreme. Oh well...
