[HowTo] XA2 Bluetooth connection to car

I've paired my Xperia XA2 with my 2013 Volvo Sensus successfully. It works pretty fine, even better than the Xperia X. Phone book, recent calls, etc. work.

The known problems when pairing the usual way still exist. It works if you make your car's Bluetooth interface visible and search for it in the phone. When you try to connect, the car will request a PIN, but the phone doesn't show one. Just enter 0000 to pair them.

Update for Sailfish 3.1.0.11: Now, my car does not find my phone anymore. Even if I make it visible. Workaround is to connect to the car manually using the phone by clicking the car under Paired devices in the Bluetooth menu. Unfortunately, I need to do this every time anew.

Update: Manual pairing doesn't work every time. Sometimes, it needs some attempts. Maybe it's necessary to try to initiate pairing from the car first before manual pairing triggered on the phone works.

I hope this will be fixed soon. Shouldn't be a big issue. It already worked before.
