(this is despite Sony being one of the biggest names in Bluetooth audio and therefore more likely to benefit from getting rid of 3.5mm)

What's fun about that is the bluetooth sucks in many experia phones. So if someone wanted to use a bluetooth device they'd be better off just getting a new phone. My friend has fun with his Tesla where his wife has to turn bluetooth off on her phone before they get in otherwise the car will only connect to her phone and not load his profile/get angry if she gets out.

Nah I've had the same exact issue with my Xperia 5 iv and my Sony(!) car stereo. If there are other options to connect it will disconnect from my phone and connect to the other one

Bluetooth sucks with everything else, and is unusable according to him. It's definitely the phone's fault not the car.

It might suck with everything else. And Bluetooth is a pretty junk "standard".

But not letting you pick a connection is 100% the fault of the car.
