I'm not sure why cell phone manufacturers and their OS vendors think that if you buy a new phone, you then need to buy a new car so you can use the BT with it.
Nokia Lumia 920, WP8. You just don't think you need to research if it will work with your car, nor are there any real databases to let you know.
It pairs, then won't stay connected. Yes, I've deleted from the car and phone an re-paired several times. No joy.
But it works fine in my 2011 Yukon, my daughter's 2012 Tiguan, and the 5 rental cars I've had in the last month (Nissan Altima, Mazda 3, Toyota Avalon, etc.)
Phone BT specs:
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 3.0
Bluetooth profiles: Object Push profile (OPP) 1.1, Hands-free profile (HFP) 1.5, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.2, Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.4, Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) 1.1
Besides waiting for MS to give an update for backward compatibility, what's the best solution AT THIS MOMENT for a BT replacement for our cars? I simply cannot do without it. And I'd be willing to give up OnStar as well.
