c300 iphone 4 bluetooth connectivity problem

I have a 2009 C300 and just purchased an iphone 4 which I have paired successfully (twice). It inconsistently automatically reconnects when I enter the car and turn it on...only 60-70% of the time. I have upgraded the car's firmware and had Apple check the phone which is OK. When I turn off bluetooth and then turn it back on the connection happens 100% of the time. Has anyone had similar problems and can they assist?

I have never had this problem, try rebooting the phone by holding down the home and sleep buttons together for 30 seconds. The will reboot the phone without loosing any data. Then pair the phone using the handset rather than the head unit.

The only thing i have noticed in the firmware update is an "information" function whereby you see the names of artists and songs on your screen.

Do you mean "reset all settings" or "erase all content and settings"?
