Needless to say this was frustrating. During this time I had an iPhone 3, an iPhone 4, and a Galaxy S3, all had the same issue.
I think I fixed it! I recently started digging around in the less than obvious menu of the OEM head unit. I eventually drilled down into an option which asked "Connection Method?" and gave me two options: 'From Headunit' or 'From Device'. 'From Headunit' was selected by default (as I had never been in this menu before) so I figured that choosing 'From Device' couldn't hurt anything. Since making that change my Galaxy S3 now connects every single time almost as soon as I get in the car. It's awesome...and by awesome I mean it now meets my expectations. /sigh
Below is a visual walk through of how to get to that menu/option.
Had similar issues, but with a simpler fix: keep the key in your pocket and the phone in the centre console.
ReplyDeleteIf they key is anywhere near the phone, head unit or the line between them I had issues, moving the key away - no more issues :D
