Please check this thread about Ford Sync, where there were problems as well.
My wife has just recently bought an FP3.
Having seen it I am rather keen to buy one too however I tried to connect via Bluetooth to our car’s audio/nav system (Ford SYNC 3). It pairs with the phone but then immediately asks to pair again. The car’s system gives the message that the Fairphone 3 has no SYNC operability.

Is there a workaround …
And this post where an answer from a fairphone employee was given.

I know it’s not the same car, but there were problems with Skoda as well, and perhaps others.

A working solution - or so it seems - is, to switch the OS to /e/.
But you might want to check the threads on /e/ before switching (just for connecting to the car )

Please try pairing the phone with the car while the phone is connected with the USB charger. I had issues in the beginning to pair when the phone was trying to optimize battery life. Having the phone in “charging” mode, resolved the pairing issue for me. After the initial pairing, you don’t need to keep the phone attached to the charging cable anymore.
