I have a Nexus 6p, which I connect to my car via Bluetooth for music and navigation. The dropped audio, stutters, and need to reconnect are driving me crazy. I've now switched back to a generic audio cable. Bluetooth reliability really is dire, the phone is within 10m of wherever the car transceiver is and in the designed hotspot too (inside the car) and it still fails.

That problem seems to be specific to Android. I had Samsung ATIV S, which did not have this problem at all (Win Phone). However both S3 and Nexus 6 have it. The later I bought in part to make it go away at least partially:(

  Indeed, they made a mess of it twice - right around when BlueZ finally got good, they switched to a different stack on Android 4.2 and broke everything again.

    Remind me, was that before or after bluez introduced a pulseaudio dependency?

      It was before BlueZ 5.0 was released. Not that it matters because BlueZ on Android doesn't use PulseAudio.

I've got a cheap little Bluetooth kit for my car and mount it right next to my nexus 6p mount. I very rarely, if ever, have issues.
