Yes! It was so buggy in my Android 8(?) unit that I had the IBus app auto-launch the Android app 'BlueTooth' every time. That seemed to work and 'force' the pairing of the phone and radio.

On this one, I have *just* changed the 2nd app to auto launch instead to Torque in IBus yesterday. This adds the complication of a BT device that will pair when an app like Torque is launched. I wondered before if the BT pairing was the reason that the phone wouldn't work as expected on the previous unit. This little bit of testing will confirm that. I think.

I tested it only once, but the phone paired even without manually launching the BT Android app. I will have about 20 hours with it on Sunday as we flock South again for December. I will play with it a bunch during that time.
