Now that my Lumia 925 is running Windows Phone 8 Update 3 + Lumia Black, I decided to give Bluetooth audio on WP8 another try. Pairing with the Avantree Cara in my car went just fine, playback was uninterrupted, and the phone also promptly paused the playback when I pressed the multifunction button on Cara. So when I arrived at the daycare to pick up my son, I just paused the playback and shut down Cara before I turned off the engine like I normally do.
The point where things went south was when I returned to the car, turned on the engine as well as Cara, and pressed the multifunction button to resume playback like I typically do with my iPhone. Nothing. A few more attempts. Still nothing. I'm not sure whether it's actually WP8 or the app (WPodder) to blame here, but I'm not impressed. You'd think that at this point Windows Phone would play along with Bluetooth a little bit better. Well, I hope Windows Phone 8.1 does something about this. If you know it's the app and there's a better option out there, please let me know in the comments.
EDIT: It might not actually be Bluetooth that's to blame here. I've got similar issues when trying to resume a podcast also when using a wired headset. So maybe the flaw is in the way Windows Phone handles external audio controls (e.g. multi-function buttons in headset and Bluetooth receivers) and listens to input from them.
