I asked Google and the tip there do not works…
The tip was:
In Terminal: sudo pkill bluetoothd + Enter
Then type your password + Enter
Then Restart.
The second tip is for an older MacOS version.
Ventura 13.5 / m1.
Thanks.
How do I reset Bluetooth in Ventura?
In Terminal:
sudo pkill bluetoothd
It will ask your password, and after you need to ask macOS to restart. It should do it
If you say it doesn’t, why you think so? What’s your problem with Bluetooth?
I’ve done that multiple times and:
The mouse is not near.
The user manual to a Bluetooth earing system says its name under Bluetooth is STSK 2 G7 and I get Car Kit.
I remove it.
I never be able to access to that wearing device since them (it never re-appears).
Using another MacBook Pro, I can see “Car Kit”.
NB I live at the 4th floor, and cars are far away (around 50 m)… out of range.
The Bluetooth detecting something is a good sign.
“Near” is not 1 meter, can be a lot far too. My BT can detect my headphone 100m at open field with eyesight.
At home, when ask my TV to detect devices, sometimes I see devices I don’t know, so they are from my neighbors.
This may be nothing, I guess those are airpod clones and your mac is translating to that name based on clone codes of generic “apple devices” they are receiving. But in case of problems you may want to RESET THE DEVICE instead of the mac BT.
Check your manual or try to figure it out based on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRR1w7lWqvM
Thank you Rick.
Technical Support answer was:
call {phone-number}
email {eMail-address}
and a second one told to simply call…
Their user manual is bllsht… so I fear about their technical support.
PS: the word with two * is censored by the forum software(so I replaced the vowels).
My mistake was to:
Oublier = Forget.
I used that, and now I do not see any more the Car Kit.
You are correct, there is a procedure to reset the device. But where they say to press… there is nothing. I will try - when back home - to follow it, in case the “detector” is invisible…
Your earbuds charging case may have a button or your earbuds must have “pressable places” (like on/off, play/pause).
In case of your charging case having a button, as Airpods have, insert the earbuds into the case, close the lid for 3 secs, open the lid, and press the case button for 10 to 15 secs as you see here:
The other usual way is pressing earbuds buttons. Insert both into the charging case, close the lid for 3 secs, open it, with the earbuds there docked into the case, press both “buttons”, one on each earbud, at the same time, until you see some light flashing/changing color not less than 6 seconds, probably 10+ secs, with both “buttons” pressed (as you can see in the youtube video I posted before. This is a generic instruction.
The previous video I’ve posted again:
The case must have charge, the earbuds must be “charging” when you do the reset.
Thank you Rick for the tips.

Open Activity Monitor. Search for “bluetoothd”. Select it and Get Info. Press the Quit button.
Thank You Art.
I do not know if this do something.
bluetoothd may be removed from the list, but it is recreated. Even when I close Bluetooth.
ps: yesterday, I even tested:
sudo pkill bluetooth (yes, without the ending ‘d’)
I was asked the password !
I will send the earpod (Silvercrest) back to the shop this afternoon.
Yes, it automatically restarts and connects your devices. You can’t disable it permanently.
At my local McDonald’s, yesterday morning, there was a guy with a Windows laptop, a smartphone and… JBL Earpods.
I checked with him, my Silvercrest Earpods are invisibles to both its Windows machine and Smartphone.
Its JBL Earphone appears on my MacBook Pro m1 nearly immediately (and I do not even open to box).
So, I get back mine to the shop and was refunded…
