I don't have a mitsubishi, you didn't mention Mitsubishi in your comments. You mentioned some Japanese cars. I had a quest which I recently traded in and I still own a 2014 tacoma. Both of which are Japanese vehicles

    Fair enough. But that's why I mentioned "some" and not "all". I've never heard about a Toyota impacted by this issue.

    Mitsubishi are definitely impacted. Some Mazda too according to some people posting. But I've read less posts about Mazda. They must be using some similar Bluetooth receivers in the infotainment system.

    This is possibly the first post when this issue originated but then in January 2025 they improved it with a workaround that works till today, but before connection was always automatic without any workaround.

    Anyway. Every single time you start the engine you need to go to Bluetooth settings on the phone toggle "media audio" (that failed to connect automatically) one or two times and then it connects and you can enjoy BT normally. A pain in the ass especially for 10 minute trips.
