Somehow my Honda Odyssey buffers bluetooth audio for ~3 seconds. I had thought that the designers/developers were just inept because none of my other bt audio devices work this way. It never occurred to me that this could be considered a feature.

... no, I still think it's a bug.

UGH this is a problem with all Hondas before ~2014. Drives me nuts. It's even worse when using it with Google Maps since the audio is delayed.

Agreed. My 2008 Audi A8 had around 3s of buffering. If I pressed "next track", it would take 3s to respond. Parked and watching a video? Out of sync by 3s with audio. Definitely not a feature.
