Bluetooth connection constantly drops while riding.
Mine was doing that and it ended up being the navigation prompts. They were turned all the way down so there was just a blank space in the song that kept happening. I thought it was Bluetooth losing connection, it was just Nav prompts. If you are having this problem while using Navigation you can disable the Nav prompts to solve the problem.

I had the same issue and it was the charging cable. I had it connected and it was loose at the phone and when it would disconnect and reconnect at the charging port the radio was switching to USB and stopping the Bluetooth connection. I solved it by using the power port in the faring to charge my phone
I had a strange issue where mine kept changing to USB and then radio when using Bluetooth. I finally stopped trying to charge with the USB cable and it stopped doing that. Not the same issue as the OP but definitely an issue. That could have been the phone as I never heard anyone else having the same issue.

Guys, I just got back from a ride and the problem persists. I turned off the Navigation prompts and the bluetooth FP3 and that seemed to help it some, but it still comes and goes. I did notice a "pause" type icon illuminate on the lower right hand corner when the sound would go away, then the icon would disappear when the music would return. I need to look at the manual and see what exactly the icon indicates. Wonder if disconnecting the battery and computer would help it as sort of a reset.

It's doing a lot more than pausing bro, it cuts in and out constantly. I found the icon symbol in "Boom Box owner's manual" it's described as, "media paused" "media is paused, press POWER/MUTE switch to resume audio.
I currently have the battery disconnected, maybe that's do a reset of the whole system of sorts.

When mine is out of reach it does not pause, it switches to the radio. Mine does get spotty sometimes when my phone is in the tourpak, never happens when in the windshield bag. Range is not great on the Bluetooth.
