I am having issues with my MacBook Pro (Mid-2015) model running macOS Big Sur. I am unable to connect any of my Bluetooth devices and keep getting the following error.
"You can't open the "Bluetooth" preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time."
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4

It looks like you're having a problem with Bluetooth on your MacBook Pro, and we understand wanting to figure out what could be causing this.
Let's go ahead and try an SMC reset to see if this clears up the message you're seeing and able to connect bluetooth devices. If you need assistance with this, take a look at the following resource:
