My car is (supposedly) equipped with bluetooth connectivity, which allows me to pair my phone with the car's in dash audio system, allowing me access to my calls, texts and music. This is great because it limits my interaction with my phone while driving, and keeping my eyes on the road. Even more so, since I live in a state where there is a hands free law, mandating that I don't use or look at my phone while driving. Fantastic!
On the day I bought my car, within minutes I was able to pair my phone with the car, share contacts, make calls, and stream music. It was amazing, a revelation from the old tape deck days. However, over time, the relationship between my phone and the car has deteriorated. When I start the car, I now run about a 40% chance that the two will hook up properly. Frequently, I am confronted with the screen below, requiring me to turn off the car, and restart it, hoping that the next attempt will be more successful.
I've tried a bunch of different types of therapy between the two (forgetting and reestablishing the link, apps on the phone to help bridge the connection, selecting the phone manually from the car's interface), but this pairing seems doomed.
My current car's lease is due up soon, I can only hope that the next car will have a system that will bring a relationship coach along for the ride.
