Has anyone had issues with the bluetooth function either dropping out or ceasing to work completely (on an 01 E39)?

Yes, this seems to be a common problem across all BMW radios. I use mine on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. The Bluetooth drops, and comes back on every 10-15 minutes or so. Can get quite annoying. The only way out is to rip out the factory radio and put in an aftermarket unit with a dash kit. I ruins the aesthetics of the dash. But you do gain all the new technological features (HD/Sat radio, Pandora, BT streaming...etc).

I have on an e46. The quality is very low, and every half hour or so it drops.

Ya it is very difficult to get this this product top sync and work but I haven't had drop out.

I just started having this problem 3 months ago, after having installed for almost 2 years. Bluetooth drops off, switch back to radio and then back to Mediabridge and it works fine. Only does it every once in a while. 2001 530i

Bluetooth option on the AMBR-1500 is very unstable and connects when it wants to, started happening to me recently when trying to use hands free via unit. My 745il comes equipped with a phone and hands free so it doesn't bother me too much, but it is bothersome the Bluetooth feature doesn't work well.

Bluetooth cuts out randomly for about 10 seconds all the time.. Very annoying

What`s happening here. It`s still not working. What are you going to do with that?

When I have had the problem it is because the A33 is already paired with another device (when turned on, it seems to pair with the last device that it was paired with). Make sure that bluetooth is turned off on all of the other devices in the area.

I had a similar experience. The bluetooth connection worked fine for the first couple of weeks. But then during playback it would suddenly begin producing something that sounded like feedback. The unit also began losing the bluetooth connection. I shipped the unit back to Nuforce (which cost me $30) and they replaced it. But the replacement unit has also produced the feedback sound a couple of times and sometimes loses the bluetooth connection. Nuforce needs to do better.

Take the battery out of the env2 and reinsert it...works every time for me. I have a pairing problem every few months

I use the Torque app. Make sure to pair your bluetooth on your device and then go into Settings in the Torque app and set your default device. If you don't do both it will not pair.

I have experienced this with 'pairing' in general. For whatever reason, a weak battery or charge tends to complicate the pairing process. I have just accepted the fact that Bluetooth is a finicky technology.

I've noticed it times out if not used. I ran power from my radio accessory feed so it doesn't stay on all the time. Some times I will have to turn the key off and then back on so it resets and connects.

Have you tried letting the engine idle while attempting to connect? My 06 Focus wouldn't connect till the engine was idling in park, took about half a minute to a minute

I also have problems with My 630 Some are the same My sound goes off and I have to wiggle the block connector in back. I finally taped the connector to the radio.My usb only works when the car is not running it will play for hours but goes to a faultwhen the car is started. My work around is using an I Pod hooked to the auxiliary ports in back also I can use My old walkman cassette player that way. I Would not recommend this radio to anyone.

??? not sure mine did not ask me typically Bluetooth defaults to 0000 you may want to try that

Bluetooth pairing is very hard to troubleshoot. It could be something with your phone or settings. I do know that another brand that looked similar that was a blue OBD2 port worked with my wife's CX9, but wouldn't work with my Jeep Cherokee, so I researched more and found this one works better for some peoples cars and when I got this one it worked.

Once connected, I've had no problems with the bluetooth. It has been somewhat finicky on the initial connection (sometimes requiring power down, slow connection, etc.), but has always worked.

I'd like to add one further data point to the Audi issue. On my 2010 A4 (B8) with MMI cable, it does work, although the connection is not that stable, and it frequently needs to be "re-paired."

Make sure the cable is fully inserted in the MMI, that's what happened to me. Also make sure your thumb drive doesnt have any type of security and that it contains valid mp3 files. Other than that you could have gotten a faulty cable. The cable works great on my 2013 Audi Q5 which I suspect should be de same audio system (not completely sure).

no ! it is actually using the signals from the ODBII output. I checkd with a digital analyser to verify that the signals are infact being processed by the Bluetooth interface - and YES threy are.Quite many signals are awailable from the ODBII and the interface is using them all.Now I can only speak for the Lincoln Navigator, but I am sure that any other car with a relative new ODBII interface is doing it correctly.Any questions call me or e-mail me: Henrik@Cyberdyne-inc.dk, 760-931-6545Respectfully,Dr. Henrik de Haas

I also purchased one of these not too long ago. And I also had the exact same issues you are having. The only way I could get it to work is to turn off the car. Forget the device from my Bluetooth trusted devices in my phone. Then start car back up and re-pair tunelink with phone. ...I will say, I do recommend you return your Tunelink or have them send you another one because you will continue to have this issue.

I have had the same experience (loud buzz, dropped signal). Very disappointing in a system of this cost. Is Nuforce intending on fixing this or is our only approach - as commented previously - to defeat the bluetooth and direct wire, which defeats the point of the system? With the advent of new bluetooth systems that have entered the market I would suggest that if Nuforce doesn't provide a fix to this problem that they will fail.
