Well, this 1st gen Sync certainly sucks, I have no experience with the newer versions. But whatever its faults is, multi-point BT is not the issue on the car side. The only device the car is connecting to is the iPhone. Maybe the iPhone is having multi-point issues? USB would be a good alternative, except that the car can't actually handle it - it'll start to work, then fail with an error that indexing the phone times out. It's done that since the day I bought the car two and a half years ago.
Nor should this otherwise be a feature-related issue on the car side, as it was working as well with iOS 9.2 prior to the addition of the Pebble as it was with 9.1, 9.0, 8.x, etc. Except that the car is the only BT audio device I've been using that does this. I have since noticed that my Plantronics stereo headset will periodically have micro-breaks while listening to something for a period of time, and today that lost the connection to my phone, and would not restore it until I rebooted the phone (did not try just toggling BT off/on) after using it for about 5 hours.
