I've been loading all my podcasts and videos onto my Fire instead of my phone to save the battery drain on the phone since it is used heavily. I run the audio via bluetooth to my car stereo, but every time I turn the car off and on, or the stereo off and on, I have to manually go into the Fire's bluetooth menu and connect to the device again.
It stays paired, but not connected. Is there a way to have this auto connect like all my phones have previously done? Maybe I missed something simple, or maybe it's not possible yet.
Thanks!
Since updating to 4.2.2 i have car bluetooth problems with my xperia z.
The phone connects to my car audio via bluetooth ok but unlike before i do not get the message "downloading phone data".
The music on my phone plays ok through my car audio as do my satnav apps. Received calls are played through my car audio aswell but the problem i now have is that my contacts (phonebook) do not transfer to my car audio so i have to dial from my phone.
Very randomly and rarely i do get the "downloading phone data" message and when this happens my contacts do appear on my car audio.
Anyone else have this problem or any ideas on how to solve it please?
Same here mate.
But there is a workaround you have to do every time you turn of the bluetooth: just go to apps->all->bluetoosh share and clear data. Then the phonebook and call log will be transferred to the car.
If you deactivates the bluetooth on the phone and activates again, the problem will return.
Hope it helps.
This only happens in my car but...
When I start the car, my handset connects.b, but the music will not play through the car. To get it to work, I have to wait until the car connects with my phone, then turn BT off and on again. Every time. Anyone else suffering from this.
My Bluetooth is working with my car. This is normal procedure that it will take a couple second to sync phone with car system. So even after a 1 minute even you load up Pandora radio or anything, it wont play on your car's stereo ? do you get any error message on phone ? The only thing which i noticed is missing artist and song title tag on my car's screen. I think it is caused by Pandora radio, cause when I restart Pandora, it will work fine. Try to reset your phone or 1st delete Bluetooth car sync profile and re-sync again. Good luck.
Do you have a Bluetooth headset connected when you connect to your car?
If so, go in to your BT device profiles on the phone, open up your headset, and disable media audio.

No message on the phone. I play though Google Music and on the phone it looks like it is playing as normal. I'm only using a simple BT device that conects through the aux port as Ford want a small fortune to supply the bluetooth adapter. I'll have a little play though, thanks for the advice.

No headset connected, nothing else via BT in range to connect to. I'll see if I can find anything else in the profiles though.
Maybe it's Google music. I will try to play music whatever it's store on your memory. I know it seems stupid but it's good to try it. I tried my nexus on my friend's car and no issues. He own Audi, I got Hyundai with navigation. Anyway there is not a lot settings regarding Bluetooth. Like I said before, might be worth to reset phone .
I have a similar issue and it is only with my car as well. It pairs up, the bluetooth audio controls on the stereo come up, but it doesn't play unless I hit play on the phone. After that, I can skip tracks, pause, etc. This happens about 90% of the time, to the point where it almost catches me off guard when it works like it is supposed to. This did not happen with my previous phone (HTC One M8) or any of the iPhone versions I had before it.
Hello, I currently use Tasker to prevent my car from automatically playing music when Bluetooth connects to the stereo system. However, I would also like it to prevent the Bluetooth autoplay when ending a call. Does anyone know how I can do that? I was looking at creating a new profile that detects when the Bluetooth is connected and also when the phone call ends, but I couldn't get it to work.
Also, my current profile isn't perfect... I'd love to figure out a way to obliterate the autoplay bluetooth feature of my Toyota. I have it disabled to only about 1/5th the time but still, it's annoying.
Thanks!.
Hello there, I hope you can help me.
For my phone to play music out of my car, it must be my phone that initiates the connection with my car. If it connects by itself it won't play music. I have to disconnect it and reconnect it manually and it plays fine.
Rather than do this everytime, I set up tasker to do it for me.
Profile: Bluetooth connected to my car.
Task
Turn off Bluetooth
Turn on Bluetooth
Connect to car
Stop
This up until recently worked perfectly. Instead now it just turns off Bluetooth but does not turn it back.
Can you advise what I am doing wrong pls?
Or what task/profile you think I should do?
Thanks.
After the task runs, check the run log for any hints.
Does it work if you run the task manually?
