Thanks. I saw that article, nothing there that helped. It works fine with my iphone 5, and from the chart in the article it looks like ipad 2 should work. I'm stumped!
Here's another article that may pertain ...
It could be that your car stereo needs a firmware update. See:
UPDATE: Never mind -- not likely since you said it works with your iPhone.

I figured it out! Turned Bluetooth off on my phone. I had already unpaired the car stereo but apparently phone was interfering even though it was in the house and car was in garage. Thanks for your responses.
Nice going! Yes, Bluetooth travels quite a distance - at least 40 feet as I recall.
Enjoy your Apple devices.
