I have a Chevy Equinox 2011 (no nav) and an HTC EVO 4G which I upgraded to Android 2.3. Everything seemed fine but when I connected my phone to the the car radio via bluetooth, it connects fine for a few minutes and then disconnect for a few minutes. This will continue until I either turn off the car or the bluetooth radio on my phone.
This never happened with v2.1 and v2.2 of Android. I emailed HTC (Sprint was no help) and this was their reply...

I have not done a factory reset yet. Anyone else have this issue?Thank you for your response. I understand how this can be frustrating for you. Bluetooth in the Android OS is not designed to stay connected at all times unless the paired device uses the 'Headset' profile. Bluetooth Car Kits generally utilize the 'Hands-free' profile to meet the requirements of its system.
The update to Android 2.3 also updates the Bluetooth profile on the device. Due to this, there may now be a comptibility conflict between your phone and the vehicle. I recommend checking with your local dealer to see if there are any updates for the Bluetooth firmware in your vehicle.
Finally, I recommend performing a factory reset on the device. Note that this will erase all of your personal data from the phone and reset it to the factory settings of the current ROM. Please ensure that your personal data has been backed up prior to resetting the device. To reset the device, go to: Home> Menu> Settings> SD & Phone Storage> Factory data reset. Follow the on screen instructions to compelete the reset and evaluate the results. I do apologize for any inconvenience.
