Help Bluetooth phone function not working?!?!?!?

My HTC Incredible was working perfectly with my bluetooth car stereo up until about a month or so ago. The weird thing is now it will still pair properly with my car stereo and I am able to play music from my phone through the car stereo but when making or receiving phone calls it will not make any sound through the stereo or speakers.
It will place the call, the other person will be able to pick up and receive the call but they can't hear anything I am saying and I can't hear anything they are saying.
This used to work perfectly before and what's baffling me is I can still play music from my phone with the bluetooth fine without any issues.

I have an AMOLED screen incredible running 2.2 and Unrevoked. I installed Skyraider 3.5 (most current one whatever that is) I have used Metamorph to place my handcent where the + symbol is on the bottom rosie bar, I have also flashed the Berzerker mod for splash of red to make everything red and also provide 6 signal bars instead of 4. I am also running KingKlix BFS#6 kernel. Other than that everything is unchanged.

I have also tried to pair with other car stereo's with the same outcome. What did I do and how can I get this to work again? Is there a bluetooth folder on the system files that I can check to see if there is a change in there or something? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
 
First thing to try is to tell both your car and your phone to 'forget' that pairing and then re-pair them.
If you know for sure that Unrevoked has no BT issues, then the most obvious thing is one of the mods you've made. *I* would try a different kernal to see if that helps (I'm using Lou's #8 and BT in my car works fine, I'm still on the stock ROM though).
As always, Nandroid is your friend.

Thanks for the reply. I have done a reset on the stereo and also deleted both pairings from the phone and stereo and then retried with no success. I have made a nandroid and I am making a titanium backup of all my apps right now. I am going to try to load up Lou's #8 now and see it that works.
If that is unsuccessful I will likely just perform a factory reset and start from scratch. Then load one thing up at a time and go from there. Thanks for the input.

I had the same issue, but flip flopped. Phone worked fine, but audio wouldn't stream, it would say blue tooth connected successfully, but nothing would show up on the car display, and music would play out phone speakers.

I did what mhotovec mentioned, and erased the connect out of the car bluetooth set up and repaired, that seemed to work for me.
