I've got the Ego Flash Bluetooth Hands-Free car kit installed in our Honda Pilot, and I own an iPhone 3GS. Since moving to OS 3.0, we've experienced this annoying problem where the iPhone insists on connecting to the A2DP function in our Ego Flash, even though we don't use that function and the device isn't even wired to the car speakers for stereo playback (we have it set up for phone calls only). So, anytime I want to play a Youtube video, for example, I have to manually shut off the link or else I can't hear sound because it's sending it over to the Ego Flash. Neither the Ego Flash nor the iPhone appears to have a way to toggle off A2DP without enabling all bluetooth completely.

Anyone else experiencing this or a similar issue? Found any workarounds?
