Default Help with Bluetooth audio disconnect

Have an 2011 RX. I am having occaisional issue of bluetooth disconnect with my RAZR MAXX on Verizon.

I then can connect the bluetooth phone just fine. However, the bluetooth audio will not connect again. When I go back into the audio setting, It says check "portable player settings".

Any suggestions on what I can do here?

Please advise. Thanks.

I had the same problem had to remove both the phone and the player then reinstalled then one ar a time phone first then the player. This will on cost you a little bit of time.

By remove you mean having to do the pairing process with entering the code all over again?

Is that correct?

yes delete the phone from the system you will have to down load your numbers to the car again but most phone will do them all at one time now then after you get the phone to work with the car then set up the player and it should work fine all the time from then on

I'm not sure if this is what you mean but this is what happens to me:
I'm listening to Pandora or TuneIn or a podcast via bluetooth on my iPhone and it works fine.

Then I'll flip over to FM or Sat radio and when i go back to Bluetooth it doesn't work. I need to go back to the phone and restart whatever I was listening to. Kind of a pain.

YES, I have this problem. I just bought a '12 on Wednesday. Staying on the BT audio it works like a charm. But if I switch to another mode, then later go back to BT audio, then I'm disconnected.

Thus far my dealership says this is a common problem.

iphone 4 for me. I've read elsewhere that some Lexus owners are blaming this problem on the iOS 5 update. However, my wife and her best friend aren't having this problem w/ their iphone 4's and Lexus's.

...I have the same problem but mine is even simpler...2 phones (wife and I)...ony one will connect at a time, fine, but as per descriptions who ever gets in the RX first that is the phone that is supposed to "connect"..well my wife's is connected all the time....even when I drive the RX I have to "disconnect" hers and "connect" mine...when she drives, she will have to do the same, "disconnect" mine and "connect" hers....nobody has an answer.....my 2011 MDX..who ever gets in first that was the one that "connected".....
