Problem with bluetooth since OS 5 Upgrade

Every since the OS 05 Iphone upgrade when I connect to my car bluetooth stereo there is no way to control the bluetooth volume. The side keys simply refuse to work, and the normal volume for the speakers don't work either. This is strictly an iPhone issue as I've used other devices on my car bluetooth stereo. Any ideas or thoughts?

iPhone 4, iOS 5

All, i had the same issue but then got it working by luck. Not being able to sync my bluetooth to the iPhone I had to make some calls from the car so I sync it to my blackberry, apparently that cleared out everything and then had no issues syncing back to the iPhone. So try syncing to another phone then back to your iPhone, it worked for me an have had no issues since. Hope it works for everyone

iphone 4 using audi bluetooth module (q7) worked fine until upgrade to new operating system (5). now works fine on car startup; iphone is paired, address book visible, no issues. but as soon as a call is placed using hands free, or an incoming call is accepted, bluetooth cuts out after five seconds and call reverts to iphone itself. then while using iphone, bluetooth comes back on, cutting out iphone conversation momentarily before coming back on speaker. this happens every time without fail. apple suggests 1) restoring iphone to factory settings, or 2) checking with audi for a firmware update. former option no guarantee of doing much other than losing information; latter option is likely to be a wild goose chase trying to find someone at audi knowledgeable enough about compatibility of their bluetooth module and iphone operating system. far more likely to be a bug in the new iphone operating system. apple, hello?

Mine isn't a connection problem to the bluetooth in the car, but rather to my Plantronics earpiece. Connection before upgrade was at the push of a button. Now I can almost always get it connected...once I power down bluetooth on the phone AND "forget device" and try re-pairing. Needless to say, this is time-consuming and I certainly can't do it while driving. There's a problem with 5.0 software. Please resolve, Apple.
