1) Which radio do you have?
2) You said that you reset the phone, what procedure did you use to do this?

My dart Uconnect will connect to my iphone 4, for like a day. Then for whatever reason when i get back in the car the next day, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting at random. I tried resetting both my radio and phone, but the problem still persists. Any ideas as to how i can fix this?

This would cause a heck of a problem for the warranty dept with people deciding how they want the radio to work. I mean how many people damage phones trying to root or modify them? Not to mention laws that would be broken with those that want to input navigation info or watch DVDs while driving.
Rewriting the radios SW won't necessarily allow some features to work, Like the BTSA (streaming audio), the radio needs HW also for this to work.
There are 3 different suppliers for the Uconnect system and unfortunately the BT specs are loosely regulated which allows each companies SW writer to interpret the specs the way they think it is written and write SW based off their thoughts. The bad side of this is that not all people interpret things the same. so there will be differences which will cause issues.

I really wish these radios were a bit more open source. Maybe then some folks would take up the cause to write custom software to add new features, allow customization, or just general bug fixes. I have my 2009 with the RER on the latest software, and it's sad that it'll never see another update.
+1 to wish ing it could stream music via bluetooth.
