Any one have problem with bluetooth connection on Tesla Model X with Samsung S8 plus phone? I check the phone and is has One UI gui and Android version 9. On the car screen show keep try connecting the then disconnecting.. Anyone have this issue? So far I just got the car but unable to use my phone sync with my car via bluetooth.
 
I need to delete and re pair my phone every day.
Samsung note 9 TMobile, latest software.
When I get into the car in the morning the phone and car will constantly connect, disconnect and ask for the passkey approval.
 
i figure it out. It is because my phone has Samsung Gear bluetooth on it that compete with sync the phone and contacts info. When I remove the Gear watch sync with my phone and just the car only, it works! I will figure out later how to sync with my watch also.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I have struggled with Bluetooth Contacts/Call History Sync problems since taking possession of our Tesla Model 3 LR AWD on 10/31/2018. My workaround was to Disable Contacts/Call History, which makes hands-free calling all but impossible. I had a Google Pixel XL cellphone, finally gave up and upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but the Sync problem persisted. I performed a careful search of all 1000+ of my Google/Gmail Contacts for the "&" character and replaced it with "and" (or deleted the offending Contact) in every case, after a second pass today 5/6/2019 this FINALLY fixed the Sync problem after nearly 6 months and 6 different Tesla Service Requests / Tesla Service Center visits. Note that the characters ,./()- are all perfectly OK, just the character & appears to cause the problem (and perhaps the unusual characters #!@$%^*<>+= used in the contact title/name ???). You would think Tesla would fix this, they admitted to me that they have had many owners who have had this same Contacts Sync problem. I am running Tesla Model 3 Software Version 2019.12.1.2. 5c87371 (just installed 5/5/2019).

Thanks this fixed the issue for me to.
When using google just export all your contacts, do a search and replace for the "&" character and replaced it with "and", save the (different name), remove all you contacts and import back again.
