Possible fix for bluetooth disconnection problems

i've encounter frequent disconnections with Z5 and my card BT system (ford). 

So i've captured a btsnoop file until first disconnection. The problem is that Z5 is trying to send the VCARD of the phone owner ( settings --> users --> you) with encoded photo:

The picture size is very big for the receiver (in my case ,ford BT car audio) and is crashing the BT stack.

workarounds:

1. remove the picture
2. crop the picture and reduce the size.

i've made a 5minute call today with no disconnections at all. 

I dont know if this is a sony software bug of ford BT bug, but it seems that many devices are suffering BT disconnections, so

guys please check this.

Mine is connecting OK, but just disconnecting/reconnecing much more often (to the car).

Unfortunatelly, the above "workaround" is not working anymore with android 6.0.

The Z5 bluetooth with my ford car audio is disconnecting every 1-2 minutes of operation. Bluetooth is not only fixed but is even worse with 6.0 update as now audio is constantly stuttering on every audio A2DP device...

very dissapointed and thinking of my flawless Nexus 5. I was very happy with TabletZ , Tablet Z3 compact so far, but with my first ever sony phone, Xperia Z5 had an unplesant surprise...
