Apparently there is a known issue with the Microsoft bluetooth stack which makes it virtually useless to use this phone with Infiniti/Nissan vehicles.
I own a G37, and when I connect the Tilt, everything connects but the quality is sooooo poor that it sounds as if I have the phone in the house and the car is 100 ft away (crackling sound, and no one on the other end can hear me).
I have tried several of the roms here, including the official ones, and no luck thus far. I have tried playing around with the bitpool settings and once again no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is there any way of replacing the Microsoft stack implementation from the Kaiser with the one from the Hermes? That one works perfectly with my car...
Have you tried Austinsync's clean rom? Its working fine with my M45 and I had the same problem you did with some other ROMs. Not sure if ROM change fixed it or one of the other hundred changes I make to my phone every other day. I assume you have adjusted the volume while in-call?

Your phone is made by a Taiwanese manufacturer. I tried searching for a American-made cellphone so that you could immediately begin your purchasing prospects, but was stunned to find that there is not one American cellphone manufacturer.
Your profile picture looks somewhat like a Dodge Ram to me. You might be interested to know that Chrysler recently built a new $315M Dodge plant in Brazil. They also worked collaboratively with Mitsubishi and Hyundai to design 3 engines that will be manufactured mostly in South Korea and Japan.
But let me get back to the topic at hand. I own a 2007 G35S Sedan and I have had very minimal trouble with my Tilt and the handsfree system. Everything works fine, including the reception meter (never worked on my 8525, even with WM6 ROMs). The only problem that I have noticed is that if I answer an incoming call using the button on the steering wheel, the car appears to start the call, though the audio is routed through the phone for the first 10 seconds and then the car resumes control. It is worth noting that I couldn't get my 8525 (WM6) to work with the car at all - even with the latest and greatest.
I will borrow my dad's Kaiser (as mine was returned earlier today), and try the Austinsnyc's superstorage rom. Hope it works, although I think it's based on the base HTC rom. As I'm sure they're using the same Bluetooth stack, problem should be the same.
Either way, I'll try and report if it works.
As far as the buying American... I thought that whole marketing scheme went out the window a few years ago when Chrysler merged with Mercedes Benz, and most of our products are made in China (as our workers are not willing to work so cheap without going on strike)... don't you just love the beauty of the world economy?

It was supposed to be a joke as it has nothing to do with the car. But since you wanted to act all high and mighty......
My Dodge ram was designed approximately 15 miles from my house. It was built 5.5 miles from my house. The company that built it employs approx 200,000+ direct employees and roughly 400,000 indirect, here in the U.S., where i live. At an average salary of $75,000 that's roughly 45,000,000,000 that the company that I buy my car from pumps back into the American economy. This does not include car dealers.
The 2007 G35S is designed in Japan. The 2007 G35S is built in Japan. The 2007 G35S employs maybe 1000 people here in the U.S. because someone has to import it and drive the boat, drive trucks, and do paper work. At an average salary(i'm sure it's way off but lets pretend) of $75,000 that's 75,000,000 that gets pumped back into the American economy. This does not include car dealers.
45,000,000,000 vs 75,000,000
yeah, you are right, it's all even. buy imported cars. it makes sense.
Thats EXACTLY the same problem with my 2007 G35 sedan and my HTC TYTN 2.
When i press the receive button, it takes 10-15 seconds to transfer over to the car audio (goes to the handset first).
THe only solution i have is to receive the call using the phone's talk button, which will go immediately to the car.
I am currently running Dutty's Touchflow Final 2 rom.
BTW. Before my G35, i had a 2006 Chrysler 300C Hemi rollin on 22's with full multimedia setup. My first domestic. I only owned imports before. After i came back to get my infinity G35 (after my major accident), i remember now why imports are so much better than domestci. The Infiniti is built like a ROCK, and the 300 was very crude in build quality.
Anyhow.

No problems in my M45...
Maybe it's the car and not the phone?
I had a G35 prior to the Bluetooth option so I cant speak about the quality there but the M45 has been pretty good. the Tilt has a low out put at times but 95% of the time it connects perfectly with zero issues. beats using a headset imo
could be the car, but more than likely it's not... here's why:
I have successfully paired and used 2 tytn, 2 8125 (Wizard), and 1 ol' school SMT5600. All worked fine without any crackling, or the other person on the other end not hearing me...
On the other hand, I have tried 2 Kaisers and both exhibit the exact same things...
(btw, in the info screen about the bluetooth connection the connection shows up as "poor" for the kaisers, excellent for the rest...)
It's hard to believe that I'm the only a-hole that has the Kaiser/Tilt and G37 combo out there... anyone else having the same problem or am I alone on this one?
Did you not read my post? I have a Tytn 2 and a 2007 G35 sedan with the exact same problems as you.. Just use the Talk button on your phone to receive calls..
Arent you on G35drivers.com?

Tilt + my Mercedes work great.
Same problem w/ Tilt & G35x
Not that I'm glad anyone is having this problem but glad to see it isn't just me. I started with an unlocked imported TyTN (Hermes) phone that worked perfectly in my '07 G35x purchased in May. I never had one problem pairing in the car, receiving or making calls, using voice commands via the car or audio quality.
As soon as I purchased my Tilt I immediately had problems in the G35x but not with any other bluetooth device (I also have a Garmin c550 and pair and make / receive calls with it without any problems).
I can pair the Tilt with the car - no problem. I can use voice commands to make a call - no problem. As soon as the phone starts to ring through the car speakers I can tell there will be a problem because the ring is very 'tinny'. I can hear the person answer and speak but they cannot hear me at all. I then put Dutty's ROM on the phone thinking maybe it was a stack issue that might have been resolved in a new ROM (assuming their had been updates to the BT stack). That did not make any difference.
I will by tomorrow test my corporate Blackberry in the car again. I had used it in the car via bluetooth while I had the Hermes - no problem. I will retest now that the Tilt isn't working.
Have any of you contacted Infiniti and / or AT&T? I could only assume until they have a quantity of calls will they say anything other than "not our problem" or, "never heard of that before".
If there are others with this problem it would be good for them to acknowledge their experience here along with any comparative good/bad feedback with other phones in the same and different car / devices.
Update: I've just tested my Blackberry 8700 that worked prior to pairing the Tilt with the G35. I can confirm that the Blackberry still works flawlessly. As the Tilt also works flawlessly with my Garmin device I think the cause is unclear but would appear to be with the Tilt as it is the only thing that has changed in the tests I've identified above.

David

well, one of the ways I use the phone also is calling out... when I dial the number and call from the phone, the car bluetooth connects and the crackling starts... (i call my voicemail to test).
besides being an Infiniti/Nissan issue, it appears it is far more widespread... there's already a 20 page thread on BT and Kaiser! from that thread it appears HTC is aware of the issue and is working on an upgraded stack/rom... everyone cross your fingers and hope that one works!
Could you provide the link to that thread?

Multiple solutions...
I'm using Dutty's TouchFlo Final Rom and I'm not having any problems with my 2006 M. So maybe you can try that ROM.
But on the M, I did have horrible problems with my E-Ten M500+ (continous feedback...C R A Z Y), and limited functionalities with my 3125. Both of those problems were solved instantly with this software: http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ They offer 30 day trial of their software, so try it.

I do not have this issue with my g35... I do not get any crackling.. Its only when i try to receive calls, it delays like 10-15 seconds!!!
Making calls is NON-issue...
it really is crazy... I've tried that particular rom and it has the exact same problem. I have also tried the Jetware bluetooth stack, and once again, it does the same thing. I've tried about 5-6 different roms, from super clean roms, bigstorage, to the latest build numbers that I could find, and all do the exact same thing. I've played around with the bitpool settings, audiogateway settings, and nothing...
It may be that the combination of the G37 + Tilt just has something in there that makes it go crazy. Could be the car, but as I've said earlier, all other phones work, including the Hermes, without any problems whatsoever.
Anyone out there with a G37 willing to give the Tilt a try? I'm about to go to the dealer and pair it with other cars to see if it works!
If you have the G37 (coupe I guess?) then you have the 2008, right? I know they switched to the new hard drive based system. So maybe they don't have all the bugs worked out. Top it all off, MS's bluetooth stack is kinda shaky, so it might be amplifying the problem.
I don't see any service bulletins relating to this issue on your car either: http://x.infinitihelp.com/forum/local_links.php?catid=86 I doubt that Voice Recog system update will fix your bluetooth issues...but then it might. Worth a try.

I can't connect my HD7 with my hands free system in my BMW. It just won't connect. Anyone could make it work?
Mine won't work in my ford sync system, ironically made by Microsoft as well. Lol
Worked on mine and in the MINI...
Go into the settings on the car, click pair new device, it will ask you to search for the car, search on the phone, and pair them.
Once they are paired it takes a while but your contacts and text messages will be on the car.

Thats useless information unless your Toyota has BMW iDrive System.
Mine has successfuly paired with the 7er iDrive System. The only thing you have to know is the bluetooth code of your car. You have to set the car to the pairing mode and on the phone set up the search for the bluetooth devices. You should see the bluetooth headset device named as the last 7 digits of your VIN CODE e.g. mine is: DS79xxx. Then click on the phone on this device and enter the bluetooth code of the car (its somewhere in the manual) and thats it. It takes some time, till the contacts are synchronized with the car and it depends on how many contacs you have in your phone. I have almost 1000 contacts, so it takes couple of minutes.
I tried couple times. I put the i-drive system in pairing mode and I can find the headset in the phone, but when I tap in the headset the connection fails.
Will be pairing my 3 series today and report back.

Ironically it was more helpful than your post
I appreciate all the posts about your bluetooth experiences. I had no problem pairing my HD7 to my Plantronic Discovery 925. The problem is with the BMW system. It worked fine with my previous phones (TP, TP2, HD2, HD2 Android). I'm glad to know that it is working on other BMW, Mini & Toyota (I also own a Toyota, but it doesn't have bluetooth). It means that it will work for me too, I'm just need to keep trying, and I'll do so after work tonight.
It also works fine in my w204 Class, w212 Eclass and 3rd Gen Prius.
Also works with Parrot Bluetooth and BMW non idrive Bluetooth in E92 3er.
You dont state what model of BMW or version of iDrive you have which may help?
As for you Homer.web posting similar info about your 7er would be more use than the unhelpful comments that you have come up with so far. Grow up.

It's a 2006 M5. I don't know the iDrive version.
I was able to successfully pair my HD7. I tried first thing after starting the car (I don't know if that made the difference), but it finally worked.
Thank you everyone.

I dont think, that it make sence if somebody asks particular question, answer something totaly different. How would you like the answer from the BMW service if you call them, that you have e.g. problem with CD player in your BMW car and they would reply: We tried it on Mercedes Benz car and it works OK.
So: if the topic is so specific, its good habit to answer specific post to that topic.
If you have an urge to tell the world, that you successfuly paired your phone with the bluetooth headset, start the new general topic called "Pairing HD7 with headset/car/..."
I paired mine easily the first time. Working perfectly.

Okay, so lots of people have problems with their bluetooth. I am too. I have a JVC KW-XR810 car stereo and the bluetooth keeps shutting down on one or the other. My questions are:
Does anyone else have this stereo and problem? If so, whats the situation?
Is there a ROM that works flawlessly (or close to) with the bluetooth?
Its odd though, that my headset works perfectly and I didn't have many problems with another stereo I've used. Makes me wonder if its the stereo or the phone. Still, many others have bluetooth problems with this phone...
Thanks for any responses.
Stock Froyo

One click lag fix
My last 3 phones (including this one) have all worked flawlessly with my Sony MEX-BT3700 head unit. Phone calls, BT dialing, streaming music, all work perfectly.
Yep, same here - AT&T replaced my Captivate under warranty about 2 or 3 weeks ago due to the random shut-down issue. Took the new one home, installed Froyo, and rooted it. Everything works well, except lately I've been getting frequent bluetooth disconnects from my car stereo (Pioneer AVIC-X920BT).
The usual pattern seems to be it's good for about one call, and then shortly after ending that call, I notice that they are no longer connected. I usually turn off BT on the phone (seems to take a while to terminate) and then turn it back on, but it will usually only be good for a single call. It's been frustrating, and I'm leaning toward the problem being on the phone side, since that's where there have been recent changes.
Must be a problem with Stock Froyo. Glad I'm not using it.
I've had this issue with certain roms I was running. I have a Kenwood KDC-X993. So far on CM7 it stayed connected.

i have the same (or similar) problem with my OEM headunit on a VW Golf. BT randomly disconnects but my music (pandora) still plays through the BT stereo, unless I stop it. Then its completely disconnected and I'll have to reconnect the phone to the car.
annoying but I just deal with it.
I'm running Paragon 6 and have a Dual head unit. I haven't had any disconnect issues, my problem is the crappy Pandora app.

Same here, I have a Parrot mki system in my car, but I found a workaround that I hope works for you too:
Unpair with the device, and when you re-pair it, when it asks you to synchronize contacts, do not let it. It will bug you every time it connects, but just ignore the requests.
I haven't had a single disconnect since doing this weeks ago.
I've read about the contacts request from other users but it doesn't happen with mine. Another thing, when I lose the connection and I turn off bt one the phone out shuts off. Completely. Pushing the power button does nothing. Holding the volume up and power buttons together for a few seconds seems to restart it but theres no animation. Just the lock screen, media scanner, etc. Maybe its restarting on its own and the button pushing has nothing to do with it. Also, I listened to my bt headset for hours last night with no probs at alI. Idk. Is bt different for head units? I thought it all used the same protocals.
So it seems that its not my head unit, but the phone. Are there any good solutions for us?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
My head unit never asks to download contacts. Could it be that some do because they store that info in order to identify and announce incoming calls? That would mean there's more going on than just a simple BT connection.
Yeah. One post I read said something about it using a data connection the hu for contacts. I have no idea what he was talking about though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
My head unit have the ability to sync contacts. When I first paired it, the phone asks me for permission and there's a check box to always allow.

The only purpose I can see for this is if the head unit has an integrated nav system. That would allow you to bring up a contact as a nav target independent of the phone.
Okay, gettinging back to my original questions. So far we've established that this is endemic to the captivate, mostly. There have been two replies saying that cm7 and paragon 6 have stable bt connections with head units. I read in another post that axura works as well. This is so frustrating that I'm just about willng to learn how to flash this thing.

We have? My first post says I have zero issues with this on my head unit with my phone on Eclair, Froyo and now Andromeda. If it is a phone issue mine is not suffering from it. Sounds more like it has something to do with head units that store contact data. Mine apparently doesn't.
Hmmm.
Yet in your second post you posited that it must be a Froyo issue.
Regardless of whether it is the phone or OS, a lot of Captivate owners seem to have bt issues of one kind or another with various devices. Maybe this is just a bt issue in general that everyone deals with (not just Captivate owners) and I'm just being sensitive because I haven't had much bt exposure.
Any help is appreciated here. I'm just looking for suggestions on what to do short of buying a new phone or head unit. It would be great if other users experiencing this problem would benefit from the discussion as well.
So far it appears that flashing a different ROM may be a solution but which one? Is there any way to change only the bt stack?
Sorry if that sounded short, but I'm REALLY frustrated with this.
My hu will store contacts as most do these days, but it doesn't ask for them. I don't think the problem is related to the contacts. I guess its just a random incompatibility thing.
I said it "might" be a problem with stock Froyo. I didn't see it the 3 days I was running it and my current ROM is Froyo-based and working without issue. The only other variable I can see is that others posting problems have reported having to deny access to contacts, something my head unit never asks for, in order to get it to work. That would appear to indicate the difference is in the head units and not the phones, but unless I could connect to one of these other head units to verify, I'm only guessing. Sorry.
i notice that if I toggle the bluetooth on my phone right before connecting it to my car, it works flawlessly
Installed a Kenwood X994 and had all kinds of issues with BT. Worked for awhile but would never auto connect. Only vehicle and area where I had BT issues. I realized it was due to the downloading of contacts at every connect. sometimes it would download than immediately disconnect. frustrating. Was on serendipity, Tried a native Cappy ROM, Cognition and now Phoenix..
The unit has the Parrot system in it so it should be ok. Finally decided to update the Firmware on the HU. So far so good. I like the contact download so I don't need to use the phone at all to make a call. Receiving calls is no problem.
Will test further tomorrow.
BTW I have a BT Garmin mounted in the truck and used it before getting the head unit. no problems connecting. The only issue with that was a delay between pressing the call button and the call being made. Hanging up was an issue as well.
Has anyone else been unable to make phone calls after connecting to your vehicle's bluetooth? Most of the time, I can make phone calls without issue. Sometimes, I can't even hear the call ring when I'm connected to bluetooth. Occasionally, when I turn my vehicle off, the call goes silent instead of transferring to the earpiece on the phone. The only way I can fix the issue is rebooting the phone. This has become increasingly frustrating for me, since the issue is so inconsistent.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted and un-encrypted.
Thanks!
Same here
I'm having the exact same problem you are having with my Ford Touch Sync, Bluetooth has work maybe once. At other times only the music over bluetooth has work. But was unable to make hands free calling! I also made my ford touch sync a trusted device, and the problem with connection still continues! Hope someone could provide some suggestions
Stock rooted- TWRP- encryption removed
I am having issues also. Just today, my phone shows I am connected to my Pioneer Navi head unit, and the Pioneer shows connected to my phone. I proceed to make a call. The audio on my radio mutes as it should, and nothing. No ringing, no busy signal nothing. so i hang up and try three more times. on that third retry, i heard the other party faintly, realizing that even though my radio muted and shows BT connected, the call went through the ear speaker on the phone. When I hung up the phone, my radio unmuted.
Last week, I was having issues where i couldnt hear any rings or busy signals. It would be silent for 20 seconds or so, then i hear the other party say "hello".
I honestly thought it was my head unit, since it is about 4 years old. But now I see others with similar issues on other brand bluetooth systems in their cars.

I just got my N6 today and I'm having trouble with My Ford Touch as well. I can get it to pair and play music, but it won't "connect" to my phone. It's odd because my N5 works fine with it. I would assume the N6 wouldn't be different.
We probably have to wait for an update from Ford, which will probably take months...
EDIT: Well I decided to try it again. I deleted the Nexus 6 entry as well as the Nexus 5 entry. Went through the pairing process again and it worked as intended. Not sure what happened the first time.
I ran into the same problem as others where my N5 worked flawlessly with my Ford Sync in my fusion, but the N6 is terrible.
I love the phone, but this is really annoying. I get into the car and sometimes it connects immediately, other times I have to turn off and back on the bluetooth about 3 times for it to finally connect. Very weird. Ford offers an upgrade to my Sync system, but wants $50 to do the upgrade. Pass.
I might try what the other person did and delete all entries for phones and pair it again. Unfortunately, the weather is pretty bad outside, so it might need to wait a short bit.
Has anyone else had luck re-pairing with their car and had reliable connections?
I use Ford Sync.

I'm having the exact same problem you are having with my Ford Touch Sync, Bluetooth has work maybe once. At other times only the music over bluetooth has work. But was unable to make hands free calling! I also made my ford touch sync a trusted device, and the problem with connection still continues! Hope someone could provide some suggestions
Stock rooted- TWRP- encryption removed

I use Ford Sync, and everything works as expected. I am Stock and unrooted. I guess it would come down to what version of Sync. Mine is from 2012. No touch screen. I also delete all other entries on the system and start from scratch making sure that the N6 is the main device.
If I can wake up the screen on my own, outgoing calls work fine

I am having issues also. Just today, my phone shows I am connected to my Pioneer Navi head unit, and the Pioneer shows connected to my phone. I proceed to make a call. The audio on my radio mutes as it should, and nothing. No ringing, no busy signal nothing. so i hang up and try three more times. on that third retry, i heard the other party faintly, realizing that even though my radio muted and shows BT connected, the call went through the ear speaker on the phone. When I hung up the phone, my radio unmuted.
Last week, I was having issues where i couldnt hear any rings or busy signals. It would be silent for 20 seconds or so, then i hear the other party say "hello".
I honestly thought it was my head unit, since it is about 4 years old. But now I see others with similar issues on other brand bluetooth systems in their cars.

I have a Nexus 6 running Benzo ROM (5.1.1) and I have a GPS Nuvi 3580 bluetooth-enabled which I want to use to make calls while driving. I have added this device to my trusted devices so my phone unlocks as soon as it connected to it.
If my phone screen is on, then I'm able to call anyone from the bluetooth device, no issues. But as soon as my screen goes off, I can't make calls and when I switch on the screen on my own, I see a message "Process system isn't responding. Wait or close?"
Irrespective of what I select on this message, the call goes through. But it totally defeats the purpose of handsfree bluetooth mode. Is there something that is not allowing the bluetooth device to wake my phone up.
Also when I receive an incoming call, I see the notification on my GPS but I can't receive the call in one go. It takes multiple calls for it go through. I have also noticed that my bluetooth device keeps disconnecting and connecting without any change on either the phone or the GPS side.

Since I last made that post you quoted, i purchased and installed a 2015 model of the Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX. It has Android Auto, but can be used with the regular Pioneer UI also. I have had no issues anymore with this new radio. Maybe the BT protocol in the radio is newer? Im not that tech savvy to know. But the 2015 radio had no issues with BT calls anymore, on Pioneer's UI or Android Auto's UI.
OK so occasionally I see threads about BT/Bluetooth issues but although I change my phone frequently I've never had any issues with my Ford Ranger of 3 years... until now.
Worked fine with Note 8, Huawei P20 Pro and anything in between.
The issue recently is when I try and make a call via the Ford pick-up it says no network, but it's playing music at the time no problem and the phone shows up under bluetooth.
If I make a call from the phone it instantly comes up on the car system and I can speak and make the call normally. I unpaired and started over today nut no difference.
Any thoughts?

I don't have the issue with my Verizon N960U and 2018 Subaru Forester, but there is another thread here with the Same symptoms on a few different makes /models of vehicle.
I tried search but didn't find anything. Anybody got a link please?
Bluetooth works fine in my 2016 F150, now Android Auto is another story.
solved!
Tried a new music App - Pulsar+ and although it took ages to get all the right cover photos (about 40 out of 180 manually searching and downloading) all is well again.
Thanks
