Bluetooth disconnects

[crupp]

Has anyone else experienced random diconnects with there Bluetooth device ? Mine seems to disconnect every once and awhile. I know it is from the car side because my phone (BB Bold) thinks it is still connected. So I go into phone settings and manually re-connect the phone from the menu.

Any thoughts?

it happens to me too, just about like you describe... i haven't done the DIS software update, anyone know if the new version is more stable in this regard?

I use an iPhone 3G with the latest firmware and occasionally getting dropped. At one point I could not reconnect at all. So I have rebooted the phone and rebooted the Genesis in that order. Interestingly, the Genesis requires a long reboot cycle, about 5 minutes. You can't seem to just stop the engine and immediately restart it and expect to reset all electronics. It's obviously some kind of bug in their BT-stack they need to iron out eventually. I'm sure it happens to other cars equipped with this feature as well.

Was planning to purchase/install a Bluetooth. Should I have the software update installed first. Thank you.

I don't think it has been determined the T-63 Nav update actually fixes this problem. Can anyone that experienced this issue, and updated confirm whether the update fixed this issue?
