Default Bluetooth connection fail

Hi all.

Anyone else have problem connecting the phone bluetooth with the car?

My car is '06 GS430 (oem nav ML receiver) and my cell phone is LG Optimus T. It keep failing to connect to the car bluetooth. When it does I need to reboot the phone and the connection works again. Turn the bluetooth of the phone on/off won't get it to connect, turning the car on/off won't help it to connect. I have to reboot the phone completely to get the two to connect.

Is there any fix for this problem? Thanks.

I have an 06 GS300. Here's what I noticed.

If the bluetooth on my phone is off when I start the car,
Or
If I shut off the bluetooth after the car is started

I have to go to the settings in the phone menu ( in the car ) and select my phone on the list and connect to it.

Then It'll be fine.

My solution was :
Leave my bluetotth on ALWAYS.

Remember if you have a battery saving app on that phone ( I have an EVO with Juice Defender installed ) it might be shutting off the bluetooth to conserve battery. The it'll turn on when you unlock the screen.

Hope this helps.
