iPhone 4 pairing problem

I was able to pair my iPhone 4 with my 2011 X3 but the only way the phone is recognized when I get back in the car is if I turn it off and then back on. Then the phone is recognized. If I just get in the car and try to use the phone I get a message that the car can't connect to a previously paired phone. Anyone else experiencing this? Solutions?

Are you using iOS4.3? Make sure to keep your phone up to date.

Mine works fine.

You need not restart your phone. Mine runs on 4.0, I never updated my iPhone since I got it on release date, but it worked perfectly fine on my test drives, between stop and starts.

Mine's working fine. Can't really even think of anything to try. You're not doing anything with your phone while out that would turn off Bluetooth are you? Airplane mode? Do you use your iPhone to connect to another Bluetooth device when out? I don't, so I don't have any experience as to whether they forget to let go of other devices or anything wacky like that.

Thanks, for the ideas. I upgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.3; will let you know if that makes a difference.
