Help GNex GSM and Bluetooth Autoconnect

I've successfully paired my Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM phone with my Ford Fusion Sync system. I'm running the Android 4.0.4 that came with the phone although I have rooted it, but still running the standard bootloader.

Normally everything works fine and when I start the car the GNex auto-connects. Once or twice a week the connection will not start. I've tried doing a "hot-reboot" but that doesn't help. If I do full re-boot, the phone immediately auto-connects. My previous phone, an LG Optimus V, never had a problem with Bluetooth connections.

Has anyone had similar issues?

I'm thinking about installing reboot scheduler and see if that will tame this issue:

Any thoughts?

I had some issues pairing my phone initially, but ever since then, its been rock solid. I have a Mazda.
 
I have a Verizon Gnex and also have problems with auto-connect. I have a BT car stereo from Clarion and a Jawbone headset. Pairing is no problem at all. It seems that if I only connect to one, it will auto connect, but if I connect to say the headset, then get in my car, it will not auto-connect. (Nevermind the fact that the headset is not on, and not in range) Its a PITA. I love BT when it works, but it rarely does without having to fiddle with something.
