I bought a new car stereo as my previous only had Bluetooth Handsfree, but not streaming [A2DP]

I am loving the ability to have my phone as my media centre in the car, but I am having constant dropping out of the bluetooth connection, particularly when going from A2DP to HFP to take a phone call.

I am not sure if I have a dud stereo, or whether this is a known issue with the N900 and Maemo 5.

Has anyone else got this issue [before I file a bug]?

Thanks

There have been a number of threads about bluetooth and car stereos, although most of the focus I remember was about sharing address books. Try the following google searches, and variation as you expect:

site:maemo.org bluetooth car stereo
site:maemo.org bluetooth car a2dp
site:maemo.org bluetooth connection drops

Thanks Alan.
I did just join in a bluetooth dropout thread here.

Is there a bug I can vote on?

I have experienced this with my Jabra BT3030. Was streaming music, made a call, when the call finished my music resuming playing but was no longer coming out of the headset. I had to press play, pause a few times and eventually it seemed to come to its senses.

Oddly, I have only had this problem in the new firmware, used to work fine with the original firmware although it might have been a fluke as I didn't use it that much before the new firmware came out.

I am thinking I need to log a bug for this...
