Exclamation Phone no longer autoconnects bluetooth

Wsup guys, I've noticed that my iPhone 3G no longer automatically connects with i turn my bluetooth on. I, instead, have to go to phone and press phone connect then it will connect. ANYONE know how to fix this? please.

Thanks for all your help.

Yeah I did, the only thing I tried differently was to change the name of the device with was originally CAR MULTIMEDIA to something else.

Any thoughts?

you're able to change the name of the bluetooth device in the car?
perhaps cause i don't have the nav so there's no option for me to change that so i didn't know..

have you tried deleting the car from your iphone's bluetooth settings?

i would try removing the iphone from the car, and removing the car from the iphone.

or try changing the device name to CAR M-MEDIA if the last thing you did was change the name?

yeah they allow you to change it, but i think you're right. i need to remove both devices from each source and try again. damn technology. lol i'll play around with it. thanks again SW

if that does not work, i would pull the nav fuse and force a full reboot of the system.

you had to change the name back?
so removing both sources didn't work?
that's weird.. can't think of why the name would affect the connectivity

i thought removing both sources and pairing them both as a new device would do.. regardless of the name.. cause it's just a name after all
