ipod nano 7th does not maintain bluetooth sync

I successfully paired Bluetooth from my ipod nano (7th) to my Nissan. I was hoping that each time I start the car, it would pick up the podcast that was playing when I last turned off the car. It doesn't automatically resume; each time I start the car, I get a message from the car that connection failed, then I have to go to settings on the Nano, go to Bluetooth, and touch the My-Car icon to resume playing (which it then does correctly). Why do I have to go to Nano settings each time in order to resume a podcast?

Hello willingp,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I would attempt a couple of things here. First, if you have not already, Forget the bluetooth device connection as follows, then re enable it and try again:

Remove a Bluetooth device pairing

On the Home screen, tap Settings > Bluetooth.

Tap the device in the Devices list.

Tap "Forget this Device."

If the issue persists, then I would next reset the iPod:
