Bluetooth music stutter?

Picked my new M3 in Munich on Monday, and am in the middle of exploring Germany and Austria. With the European maps on a USB stick where I would normally plug in my iPod touch, I am using Bluetooth to stream. Unfortunately I am getting intermittent stuttering and skipping. It seems random. At times I can get through a couple songs ok, but often it stutters several times during a song. Driving me crazy!! I have enhanced Bluetooth option btw.

Anyone hear of this?

Happens on occasion when I first set out, but never in the middle of a drive when it's been running a while.

Its happening because you have not enough RAM on your phone and its over working. To avoid it from happening on an IPhone, turn off as many apps as you can while bluetoothing that problem will dissapear. Its not your car causing it, its your phone.

Thanks, you are correct. Tried streaming from my phone (Galaxy S3) and it worked perfectly. Thankfully once I get the car in the States, I'll be using a cable with my ancient iPod.
