XA2 Ultra and SFOS 4.1: the bluetooth does not turn on. I am pretty sure that it worked in the last SFOS 3, I did not try it in 4.0.

Even after a reboot?

#4

i would have said yes, even after, cause i was not able to connect to any of my 2 car radios but now that i tried it out … it worked, i could select visiblle for 3 mins and combo would show it and count down would start.

After several reboots my Bluetooth works again. But it needed several. Can’t find any consitency or pattern.
