Discovered another idiosycracy of the bluetooth audio connection

Don't know how helpful this will be, but with the number of issues I've seen here involving the CX-5 bluetooth audio connection, it no doubt has applications other than my specific case.

I've had issues with the system re-establishing a connection with the Pandora radio portion of my LG Olympus signal after I shut the engine off and then restart it. With the head unit in bluetooth mode, it will search for a bluetooth signal upon restart, but will only establish it with the phone portion of the signal. Then it just sits there showing a pause icon and no matter how much I fiddle with it, will only re-establish a music connection momentarily and then lose it. This morning I discovered that if I switch to audio mode after the phone connection has been established, let it sit there for 3-4 seconds and then switch back to bluetooth mode, it will lock on to the music signal and hold it. It would seem that the system is incapable of grabbing more than one bluetooth signal at a time and needs to be given something else to do before it attempts to establish another bluetooth connection. Hope this helps some of you who have had similar, if not the exact same issue as mine.
