Default Bluetooth and latest Android 5.1.1 update

Has anyone else had issues with Jeep stereo controls not working while streaming music? Especially after 5.1.1 update?

I have a 2012 JKU sport, with galaxy S6

Yep... I was having problems... the bluetooth on the phone would intermittently quit and restart.

I got a push of a bunch of Android updates (system type stuff) a couple days ago and now all is good again.

Jedg, which updates have you received? Since my update to 5.1.1, I haven't received much from playstore.

I'm still having issues with being able to skip songs with stereo and steering wheel controls. It mainly happens if I have Pandora running running in background while using Google navigation. I prior to update I could skip songs while navigation ran in the foreground.

That sounds like a different problem than mine. In my case the bluetooth on the phone kept restarting and this caused the connection with the jeep to keep dropping.

I don't remember what updated, but it was a bunch of stuff (android system type stuff) a couple days later. Since then, I've had not problems.

I thought they may be related, but it doesn't sound like it now.
