I'm trying to determine if the battery life of my iPod nano and Kyocera cell phone will be halved by having the bluetooth on 24/7. Nothing is connected to them right now as they are both out of my car, so they are in sort of blue tooth stand-by where the bluetooth icon is grey. Does anyone know if it's worth the ball pain of turning off bluetooth every time I take the ipod and phone out of my car?

It depends what model iPod nano and Kyocera phone you have. If they have Bluetooth 4.0, the impact will be negligible in the worst case scenario (like 1% extra a day). What model iPod Nano and phone?

Apple.com says the 7th gen ipod nano has bluetooth 4.0, so I would just leave it on. Battery life impact would probably be pretty negligible. No idea on the cell phone though, need more info on that.

It is a Kyocera Verve on Boost Mobile. I can't seem to dig anything up, but I'll keep looking to see what version of BT it uses. The problem I'm having is that every time I shut off my car (2012 Corolla) my phone is no longer paired with the car. It's like I have to re-pair the phone and car every time which is a stupid rear end pain and unnecessary, especially since my iPod works every time I start the car.

According to Amazon, your phone has Bluetooth 2.1. I don't think that is what's causing your phone and car to not play nicely with each other though. Bluetooth itself is a pritty finnicky protocol - there's always people complaining about how Bluetooth interacts with stuff, especially car radios. You can pretty much find someone complaining about Bluetooth not working right with their car every 5 pages or so in the Android and iPhone threads. Not the answer you probably wanted to hear but...it's an answer at least.
