That doesn't indicate a problem with the phone, though. When your phone connects up fine to plenty of other BT devices, but has issues with the stock HU in your car, that's more indicative of the hardware/software not really being all that great on the HU. THey made sure it'd work with iPhones and then didn't care if it worked all that well with android, as evidenced by folks needing to go in and change the "connect from" settings.

Despite them no longer being the majority smartphone (most folks use an android phone, among those who use smartphones), most manufacturers who just want to be lazy make things iphone compatible and then only kinda-sorta throw a bone to android.

It's going to bite them in the ass sooner or later if they don't learn now.
