Bluetooth dropping (Galaxy S3)

Hello,

I got my 328i with tech pkg a few weeks ago.

I am fan of Google Music and use it quite a lot on my Verizon Galaxy S3.

When I connect my Galaxy S3 to my BMW via Bluetooth . Connection drops while streaming music. I looked at the phone and it was actually streaming well. Thus, I concluded that it is Bluetooth problem.

I am still not sure the problem is from iDrive, Galaxy S3, or the Compatibility between two.

Anybody have same issue?

It's a compatibility issue. IDrive seems to be optimized for Apple iPhones. All of my Samsung Galaxy phones had issues with various versions of iDrive.

I have Galaxy S3 with stock Jelly Beans 4.3, kernel 3.031. It looks like (besides it drops a BT connection) iDrive looses BT pairing from time to time. Even while driving. i had to pair my phone about 10 times so far. That could not be on the phone side. Any idea what causes that? Any fixes?
