Help Bluetooth dies when screen turns off

[limbo80]

I've got a really annoying problem with my ZTE blade.
I'm running a modaco Android 2.3 ROM and in my car I connect it via bluetooth to my Nissan Connect system in my Nissan Qashqai.

The phone pairs fine with the Nissan Connect system and can I can use the phone book etc. However everytime the screen turns off on my phone it drops the bluetooth connection. Bluetooth on the phone remains on and is set to be discoverable, however when the screen turns off the connection is dropped.

If I turn on the screen and enter my PIN then the bluetooth automatically re-connects.
Does anyone know a setting that I can use to always keep a bluetooth connection active even if the screen switches off...or does anyone know of an app that does something that would help.

Im a software engineer by trade so considering knocking up an app myself that would do something, but I've not looked at the Android API's and don't know if there is some sort of service I can set to run that keeps the bluetooth connection active....

Any tips or advice much appreciated...do other peoples bluetooth behave the same?

CyanogenMod has huge Bluetooth issues (ZTE )
Try a ROM based on the official leak (sorry :L)

Thanks for the reply what do you mean by official leak?
Could you give me a link so I can give it a try.
What are the differences between the official leak Mod and the cynogen mods?
Thanks

Cyanogen has way more features then AOSP (which is what the leak is)
Gingerbread for the blade got leaked about two weeks ago. Its been patched up to work on European Blades.
The leak has better driver support then CM7 (as ZTE are slow to release their sources), and things like Bluetooth work much better therefore.
