A suggestion at the time was to put the rn52 to sleep after 1min of no activity. That can be changed via the programming command. But then that brought up the issue of how to wake the rn52 back up again after it was asleep, and if the module would "miss" the play command due to waking up when seeing the play command, so it wouldn't act properly...I don't think we ever went so far as to address this.

Seth, as far as I know, fixing this issue for Saab95 doesn't require re-enabling sleep mode. It's about whether the BlueSaab is connectable when the IHU/car is off. You can make arguments either way as to whether it's a good thing or not. I would argue the BlueSaab shouldn't be connectable unless the IHU is on, but it might slow down the start up process for some folks, and the phone I'm using doesn't have Saab95's issue.

This might be the sort of feature where you'd want to give users some control over the behaviour, probably via a IHU button, so that it's set one time on installation, and the BlueSaab remembers the setting after that.

Saab95, what kind of phone are you using (including software version, please?)

Cheers,
Sam.
