I am having the same issue with my 2007 Nissan Sentra.  It worked fine with my old Droid.  If any can send tips, it would be appreciated.

going to vz store later & get another active bionic and see if that connects or maybe a tbolt. if it doesnt then we'll know it's not the phone.

So you were able to get it to work in a 2011 Altima?  I have a 2011 Altima and I just switched from a BB Bold that worked great in my car to the Bionic and have not been able to get the audio to go through sound system when playing podcasts from DoggCatcher.  The hands free phone works... I use to use podtrapper w/BB phone now switched to DoggCatcher since podtrapper didn't seem to work with the Bionic, so it may be a setting in the DoggCatcher as well.  A lot of new stuff for me between the phone, podcatcher and car so I guess I will just have to keep playing with the systems.

 

Any advise someone might have would be appreciated.

I hookup the phone thru the car stereo with the headphone jack and a adapter cord (@ $7.00 at radio shack) to use pandora or any music program. put the car stereo to aux.

Its the new bluetooth stacks driver that was included with the new OS, if your stereo is a older model it does not have the supported drivers to communicate to the device, this is common with upgrades, older hadware has to be updated in order to add the support needed for the newer hardware, its like placing a 50 inch tv on a vga video card that only supports 800x600 resolutions, it may work but wont function correctly....  

 

Your stereo should be able to use the handsfree connection from the device but all addition options wont function because of hardware limits.

I am having the same problem with my 2007 350z; pairs and connects but no sound. Bionic works fine in wifes Infinity, and her IPhone works in my 350z. What a hassle.
