SOLVED (kinda) Right, in case anyone else ever needs this thread in future, it is DEFINITELY related to SBC/AAC. I realised that I was getting disconnects again because my phone (Oreo) was defaulting to AAC. So if you change it to SBC via the above method when the unit is connected you...

OK, talking to myself here it seems, but updating this anyway. This definitely did NOT fix the problem for me. I am still getting regular drop offs. What's more frustrating is that I had quite a long drive with my son and we tested his considerably cheaper Xiaomi on our car stereo, not a single...
