I even can not connect to my Pioneer DEH-P700BT with BT Audio profile. My Z3 compact connects only as phone. While I have 3 phones working perfectly as BT audio with my car audio. My Z3 Compact also connects by BT with Sony Home Theater system w/o problems. As for car audio issue I have tried to clear all paired devices in pioneer and z3 and reconnect, car audio and z3 see each other and z3 asks for pin (pin is correct) but fail on connection and pioneer shows "Error" on display. It looks like some sw incompatibility. Though pioneer has BT SW upgrade function only one very old update (issued far before I have purchased that unit) is available so probably SW update will not help...

I have a pioneer head unit, http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/archive/AVH-X3500DAB/page.html
Mine seems to be working the same as any of my other android phones, if not better. I use it to play Spotify and it seems to always auto connect.
I'm happy to help test any scenarios you want for comparison.

Were pioneer thoughtful enough to include details as to what exactly the SW update addressed? just thinking maybe they pre-empted the problem your having with the update. **just a guess!**

Yes - "This update enables you to connect to Nokia Nseries with software after October 2007".
I managed to connect to my head unit with BT Audio profile, but it connects only if I manually initiate connection from both phone and unit. I.e. in unit there are 2 modes - 1. unit searches for previously paired phone 2. unit waits for connection from phone. In my case only second way works. Auto connect does not work.

Just to confirm. I am also experiencing this. Even my buggy LG g2 on g3 fw connected without issues and now the z3c does not :/ I have to always go in the deck connection and select it.

Tilt Bluetooth audio works on AVIC D3 but not BT phone

having trouble getting my Pioneer AVIC D3 to connect with the bluetooth on my Tilt; the bluetooth audio works just fine, but i cannot make or recieve calls on the Navi system and its pissing me off. i already made sure the device is visible and bluetooth sharing is turned on (idk if i need it on but trying this anyways)
anyone else have a similar problem or a suggestion?
ugh, i want an AVIC so bad. but my truck is only 1.5 din. wold require a custom install
My silly thoughts:
1. Your Tilt doesn't need to be discoverable, you AVIC does.
2. If the AVIC doesn't show under settings-connections-bluetooth, then you haven't created a proper partnership.
3. If it does show there, then you should tap & hold that entry and see if you get "Set Headset" or "Set Handsfree". If you don't then the device isn't reporting a BT profile for phone use to the Tilt.
If you go through all of that and it doesn't work, I'd check with Pioneer for software/firmware upgrades for the AVIC. It may be an issue that they've fixed with updated code.
bump, tried the above with no luck. my sony S710a works fine and this is REALLY pissing me off; i spent almost $500 on the phone and another 1,000 on the damn navi system, if this doesnt work out soon im selling the Tilt and going back to the Sony
It is more of a problem with the pioneer unit rather then the phone. I have the tilt (flashed to htc) and have a problem of auto pairing. Everytime I get in the car I have to turn bluetooth off/on to get the deck (9800bt) to see the phone. This is something pioneer knows about a realesd a patch for the avic z2 (is that right) to fix the problem.
check this place out for more info (sorry don't have a direct link)

thanks im a member at avic411 as well as here and have had no success thus far; looks like SIM swapping with my Sony S710a is the best i can do. too bad because skipping songs or going thru my playlists via bluetooth is freakin sweet.
yah, i have the avic-d3 and the att/tilt, im so almost about to take the phone back. Even my crappy iphone paired withno issue. Please post if you figure it out.
Sad to see there has been no progress. I just got my new Kaiser, and I can only use it for bluetooth music and not as hands free with Avic D3. What a piss offf!!!!!!!!!!
I believe its a conflict with WM. I have the Pioneer 6800DVD and bt adapter and the same issue with my Treo 750 and Tilt.
I was able to get it to work on my treo using a bt program called jetware. I haven't tried it on my tilt yet. but it might work
I can confirm that the Jetware patch works great with my Tilt! You MUST uncheck bluetooth stereo (on your tilt) and only use the handsfree feature.

[Q] Bluetooth connection time on 4.2.2

Anyone else experience bluetooth connectivity issues on the new 4.2.2 firmware?
My car and BT headphones now take a lot longer to connect and disconnect to the phone compared to previous firmware.
In fact, the first time (after the update) i needed to manually connect to each deivce, almost like I had to remind the phone it was paired with them.
In comparison, my Nexus devices connect almost immediately on 4.2.2
Can anyone who is on 4.2.2 help test this?
Help confirm whether it is just me experiencing this or not. Thanks.
I have the same problem with my Mercedes BT System.
I connect my phone and lost my connection in 3-4min. After 10sec its connected again.
So my temporary work around was this:
1) Disconnect the Phone with my car
2) Clear Connetcion
3) Start new search and conntect the phone to BT
4) Didn´t allow the Mercedes BT to use my sms, contacts and so on.
With this it´s working if the BT System didn´t check my sms and contacts. But erverytime when I switch of the connection or car, I have to disallowed the BT System to check sms and contacts --- so this is only temporare and I hope for a better solution!
(Sry for my writen english - its bad )
My Bluetooth devices connected very quickly.
And no problems with sms and contact request?
Do you made a fullwipe?
My BMW simply won't pair with my XZ since updating to 4.2.2 - was working fine before on 4.1.2, but when I try to pair now, they recognise eachother, and I enter a code on the car to be verified on the phone, but after I enter the code on the phone, it all just freezes. The car sits there saying "Pairing...", but the phone thinks it's all been successful.
I have a bose audio system in my car, my XPERIA Z running PAC Rom - will pair, no audio or phone book exchange, My Dads Xperia z Works fine with stock rom. there is some issue I think with 4.2.2 maybe? I tried the Audio v19 and bluwtooth fix. NO LUCK!
Yes.. Having the same problem as well with Volvo's sensus multimedia system. It used to work fine.. Now it takes multiple tries to get it to connect since 4.2.2
I have the same problem.
I am having the same problem with the sbh25.
When i turn on the headphones my phone registers the pairing but no sound will be on. I have to manually turn the phone to speaker output then back to headphones for the music to stream through the bluetooth headset. This works first time 9/10 times. The other time i have to repeat the output step a couple of times for the music to be heard.
I had a couple of issues too with the latest 4.2.2. on my Kenwood system in the car.
This is terrible, clearly Sony did not thoroughly test the BT stack in this latest firmware.
I can honestly say, BT was pretty much working perfectly on 4.1.2 firmware. I may have to consider downgrading.
Thanks for everyones confirmation.

Nokia MD-310 Bluetooth Receiver issue

Hi!
I'm loving my new Z3 Compact but ran into first annoying issue. I've been using Nokia Wireless Receiver to stream audio via bluetooth to my amplifier. It has worked well with my previous phones, iPad Air and also my wife's Galaxy S4 Black Edition that has KitKat installed.
With Z3 it connects and phone shows aptX device connected. Audio starts playing but cuts off and back constantly, almost like it loses connection every half a second or so. Tested Spotify and Radio FM to make sure it's not an app issue, same thing happens with both. I also got JBL Flip 2 speaker and bluetooth audio is crystal clear with that, no issues at all.
I'm a bit baffled because it doesn't seem to be an Android issue (Galaxy S4 working well), not an app issue and also bluetooth audio from Z3 works with other devices. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi. it seems like you and me are having the same problem except I have a z2. Previously I had a Xperia sp and that works fine with the Nokia receiver which leads me to believe it has something to do with aptX as my z2 works OK with other non aptX devices aswell.
Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I found that if you turn WiFi off it helps a little, but is still un-listanable to my ears

Cannot play music via Bluetooth Hyundai I35

Hello,
I own a Hyundai I35 2014,
I have the phone connected via Bluetooth, and i can make and receive calls just fine, all is loud and clear.
But it will not play Music (not from YouTube, not from google Music) when i hit AD2P
I checked some forums and other sites, i tried unpairing, i tried force stop and remove data and clear cache, i tried to do almost anything - nothing worked.
i also do not have the "Media Audio" option under options in Bluetooth device properties (when you click the round icon next to the car device name) - but also ,
My brother has LG G3 (android 5.0) and he is ABLE to play music just fine - He also do not have the "Media Audio" option in bluetooth device properties.
Both phones properties look the same, but only the LG G3 is playing music once AD2P is chosen in the Car.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks !
Sounds like a vehicle issue - most phones will not stream audio to a device which doesn't present it with the A2DP profile. Maybe you need to master reset your car's stereo or check with the dealership for a stereo FW update.
Ford just recently released an updated firmware for Sync and now I get mp3 metadata on the display and it auto-reconnects to BT after shutting the truck off.
I`v actually done that, but how can i blame the car when my brother's LG G3 works great with it, and my Wife's iPhone 6Plus works great as well ?
Just from a quick Google search it seems the bluetooth in that car (I'm gonna assume you have a Hyundai ix35, since no "i35" exists) is flaky and problematic.
I would call the dealer and ask if there's a system update to fix BT issues.
I've had an ongoing issue with my Pioneer head unit where it will stop working with Media Playback and continue to connect for call audio. Each time it does this I have to clear the Bluetooth memory on my Pioneer unit. Perhaps your Hyundai has a similar option? They you can repair the device and it should work.
Edit: I should add that this was never an issue with my previous 2 phones (a Samsung Captivate and Nexus 4).

Possible to use a Bluetooth Headset with Android Auto?

Hello,
I just purchased and installed a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. So far it's pretty slick. I'll be using it with my Galaxy S6.
I noticed that when I try to disable the Call Audio Bluetooth profile from the phone side, it re-enables itself... like I HAVE to use the NEX for call audio.
I would like to be able to turn on my BT headset and use that instead, without much hassle. There are definitely times where I'll be in the car with other people and don't want the whole car to hear the conversation. It also presents a call quality issue with the far end being able to hear the system speakers.
Do I have to unplug USB from the NEX to make this work?

I have same unit, try having headset connected before plugging in your phone. That may work

I'm bumping this up. With my previous phone (LG V10) I could select which device use to make phone calls, Android Auto device or a bluetooth headset (Plantronics). Now with a Oneplus 3T that is not possible anymore.
AA automatically rerouting "BT phone" to main AA device. That is really annoying.
If someone knows a workaround to this please give advice, thanks...
You have to have it enabled, in a nutshell the unit (Pioneer) declares that it has bluetooth capabilities and declares the bluetooth mac address when it initialize the connection, than Android Auto (trough Google Play Services which is a system app) will enable the bluetooth, set up a pairing if it doesn't exist and connect to it, so no matter what you do it will always connect to it, the only way to "avoid" this is:
a) Get another phone which connects to the Pioneer bluetooth, then connect the phone (haven't tried this, but probably will do the trick)
b) Alter the pioneer unit so it doesn't send the bluetooth mac and it doesn't declare the bluetooth service (almost impossible, you will need to replace the app on the unit)
