Oh it definitely is. I was reminded of that just today when on a drive with my co-worker and his brand new iPhone and our 2017 Honda Fit kept playing "let's randomly transfer his call to speakerphone every two min or so, even once the user turns the radio off". It was extra neato when I had to save us from veering off the highway while he was struggling to push every button he could find to make it stop.
And it's worked so great on my soundbar for a year that I bought a chromecast audio to hook up to it instead!
Wow that reminds me... I returned a very well reviewed Plantronics bluetooth headset a year ago because it was almost totally useless. Not quite sure how all the 4 and 5 star reviews didn't start with "works great more than 50% of the time!".
It's *only* been around for 15 years, maybe it's just starting to get good!
*Edit*
Omg, I just realized: How cool would it be to use BT for brake, steering, throttle in a car! Then, when autopilot on my 2018 Model 3 gave up due to unexpected baby on the roadway, I'd have mere seconds to re-pair the steering wheel!
