Bluetooth Disconnecting

[pseudo]

I have been struggling ever since I owned this car with bluetooth randomly dropping out. During phone calls, while listening to music, while not doing anything in particular - I would constantly get disconnect messages.

I assumed that it was a hardware issue for a while, or a problem with my phone and was just too lazy to bring it in to subaru or try to fix it myself, so I just learned to live with it.

Recently I got a new phone (Nexus 5) and was disappointed when the problem was not fixed. As time progressed the problem got worse and worse. My phone would disconnect on average once every 2 minutes or so. Today I reached my limit and did the following:

- Unpaired the car from my phone, and cleared my bluetooth cache and deleted bluetooth data from my phone.
- Deleted all of my old phones from the head unit.
- Did an 'initialize' on the head unit.
- Ejected the SD card via the context menu, reinserted and restarted my car
- Deleted all user data from the head unit (its a menu option)
- Changed the bluetooth passcode
- Repaired my phone, this time NOT syncing messages or contacts

It now works flawlessly.

Hopefully this helps someone...

I two had many disconnects at random times and then restarted and did not sync contacts or messages with about 90% improvement. using Samsung s5.
has anyone else had this problem and found an answer to the messaging.

I have 2 problems.
1) when i am connected to bluetooth to hear music suddenly i get a message that the phone has been disconnected. Then i have to touch the bluetooth button again to pair the phone.
2) While on call all of a sudden i get a harsh disturbance which lasts for 30-40 secs.


Thanks,

LOL, my samsung galaxy 3 does this all the time. But my iphone 4 will not disconnect at all with out a full shut down of the phone. I hate this head unit.

I didn't have any problem when I had iPhone 4S. I started to have this problem when I switched to LG. I thought something was wrong with the phone, but I guess it's the head unit.
