I was worried about security more than battery life, but I guess iPhones are pretty secure.
Why do they always have to be searching for new devices though? It seems like they should be able to pair with one device and then give you the option to stop discovery of new devices until you want enable that option.
The car kit is always on when the car is on. Since it requires a passcode to pair with it, I'm not too worried about security.
I don't think the iPhone's Bluetooth is always in discoverable mode – I think it leaves this mode (and still stays on) a few minutes after you leave the Bluetooth settings menu. Bluetooth has been enabled on my 3GS for a little while today but my computer can't find it unless I go into the Bluetooth settings menu and see that "Now Discoverable" message.
