If you are having an issue with having to connect your iPhone to your car stereo manually each time you use it, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

most old makes of car bluetooth can only handel Bluetooth 3.0 and 2.5 tech you can find that out by going to your makers website or your drivers manual.
There are car adapters that are bluetooth 4.0 capable that you can find online ex. amazon.com
Hope this helps.

Apparently, you have to do it through the steering wheel by setting up the handsfree. The handsfree set up will take of the blue tooth too, so you don't even need to do the bluetooth pairing! Wish the car's manual had mentioned that detail! I didn't even think of hands-free as only ever use that function to answer a call!
Do delete it from the blue tooth before re-setting up the handsfree. Hope that makes it work for you!
