I've got a 2011 Hyundai Elantra and my bluetooth connects automatically, most of the time. Sometimes it just doesn't or it will take a long time so I have to go into settings and choose my car then it will connect. Other times it just works 
Got a tip for us?

I have the same problem. When I first got my Subaru, the phone connected via bluetooth automatically everytime I turned the car on. No effort was required on my part. Now I have to manually connect everytime I get in the car. I had to recently replace my iphone 3Gs, my old one had an older firmware on it, and I wonder if the newer firmware is the problem. My old one had iOS 4.1(jailbroken) and it always connected when I got in the car. Friggin Apple. Making things harder to do.
Well I updated my iPhone to iOS5 in the hopes that they FINALLY corrected the issue with Bluetooth. Naturally, they didnt. Very very annoying. Come on Apple. If all the other smart phones seem to be working why can't you guys? Naturally you will assume its the bluetooth devices fault, not yours.
