I never have Bluetooth issues in my Rav4 between any of my phones (ZTE, OnePlus), it is perfect always. I can not emphasize enough how amazing it is.

My and my wife's Fitbit have constant Bluetooth issues to our phones. This is completely and utterly annoying.

Driver related? Not sure.

Well, is the bluetooth as good when your wife is driving the Rav4?


He meant software drivers, not people drivers.


Probably hardware-related. Good, or at least thouroughly-tested and characterized, design can make or break high-frequency RF applications.

Check out the PCB guidelines for the popular NRF51822 Bluetooth tranceiver:

It barely scratches the surface, and in reality there will always be some trial and error as other nearby circuit elements can cause unpredictable interference or feedback. But it's a lot more finnicky than laying out an Arduino board.
