Just moved to a new xt1092 and I can't get it to connect to the bluetooth on my BMW i3.
It pairs but refuses to reconnect, manually or automatically.
Had no issues with my old Xperia Z3 on KitKat.
Anyone else seen this issue with BMW iDrive?

I have a BMW 1 series and it pairs to my XT1092. Maybe you have to update the BMW's software
I have the same problem on an older Lexus but it happens with all Androids for me, not just the MX14. Is the BMW new?

That's a shame I had hoped that the Android bluetooth issues would not happen with the newer cars. I don't think this is a Motorola problem, I think it is an Android problem. The car manufacturers are more interested in working with iPhones.
I too had a 1 Series and zero problems, with all the Android phones I had (from high-end devices, to chinese versions).

Already did that. It pairs but almost never connects, even when the connection is initiated from the phone side. If you have a 1-Series post 2013 with Pro Navigation you'd have basically the same system as the i3.
As I said, no problems at all with the Z3 on Kitkat but issues with the Moto X on Lollipop.

I've got a New Potato Tunelink I've been using with my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus successfully for about a year. Since that time I've gone through several ROMs and Android versions, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and now 4.3. Bluetooth audio always worked fine with Pandora, Google Music and Pocket Casts.
I got a Verizon Moto X yesterday and while I can pair it with the Tunelink and it plays, music skips, stutters and is unlistenable. Voices sound worse, they're low or deep and also skip and stutter.
I've Googled and found lots of "bluetooth stuttering" threads all over (like this one) but none of the things I've tried have improved the audio. I've turned off wifi, changed wifi settings, tried it with and without the battery saver turned on. I took it out of the box and set it up yesterday, I doubt a factory reset would do anything for me.
I can plug in the stereo minijack and it sounds fine but the Tunelink was supposed to stop the inconvenience of that and did, until the Moto X.
Any ideas? Anyone experiencing the same issue?
I've been using J3 Bluetooth headphones and the moto x has been performing better than my GS4 did. I can put the phone down at my gym and walk 30 feet away and it doesn't skip or degrade.
I don't think it's the phone.
Have you tries re-pairing?

Just to be clear, I have the Verizon variant of Moto X also. Have you considered trying a replacement Moto x?
Also, the Moto X is bluetooth 4.0 and the Galaxy Nexus is 3.0. Could it be that your headset doesn't play nice with 4.0?

I haven't considered a replacement yet, the fact the stores don't have them is a factor.
Good point about 3.0/4.0, the specs on the Tunelink don't specify, I'll contact them.

I have my Galaxy Nexus which works fine.
I ordered this and it should be here today to test out.
I have the same issue with a Motorola Roadster 2. Static is pretty bad when on the phone with other people.
The Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit arrived yesterday and works great. It seems to be the X with the Tunelink. I actually like the Kinivo better as it also allows phone calls and the remote/mic allows me to start/stop music and podcasts.
I also have a Tunelink and am having the same stuttering issue with the audio. Works great with my Nexus 4. Not so much with the Moto X.
+1 for the diagnosis of the Tunelink not playing nice with bluetooth 4.0
I also am experiencing issues with my Moto X and bluetooth. Something tells me it is due to the custom bluetooth 4.0 implementation that Motorola used for Android 4.2.2. I figure that the only "real" fix will be waiting for the 4.3 OTA to add official support.
I tried everything under the sun to resolve my issues. I did a factory reset, un-paired and re-paired, tested on multiple devices and even did a RMA with Verizon. I called up Motorola prior to the RMA and told them about the issue and they said that it was a defective unit. I'm planning on calling them again today to let them know they have an actual issue with at the very least the verizon moto x.
As a follow-up, while my new Bluetooth unit does not stutter and sounds great, my phone now consistently reboots itself after pairing but not until I initiate playing something.
Thankfully the phone reboots quickly.
I am going to wait till the first OTA is released and see if it resolves the issue or not.....if it still has the problem then I'll have to try a 3rd RMA.
I have LG stereo headset, jlabs crasher speaker, and an eclipse headunit and i dont' have any issues with playback. Are you just letting things play or are you messing with the device while playing music? I know on both my Moto X (vzw) and GS3 i'd get some stuttering some times if the phone was under some heavy usage.
I'm experiencing stuttering on my VZW Moto X DE with my Tunelink as well. I had stuttering on my GNex on one version of 4.2.x but all other builds worked fine and it got much better when I upgraded to 4.3, so I'm hoping a new Moto X 4.3 rom will fix this...
Add me to the list of people having the stuttering issue with the Moto X (GSM Dev Edition) and the TuneLink Auto BT unit. Frustrating as hell. I hope the KitKat upgrade fixes it.
Bump. Tunelink is stuttering for me too. Must be incompatible. My tune link is wired to the headphone jack (not using FM transmitter). Sucks.

Not tunelink related but when listening to my Moto X in car with my Alpine UTE-42BT I notice a crazy amount of skipping/stuttering. Doesn't mater what music player I use. If I turn the device off and restart it seems to fix it for a brief time.
I created a post here about my issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48496071#post48496071
Anyone else having the same problems or have a solution it's driving me insane!?
apologies i forgot about this thread. i bought my TuneLink over two years ago. i emailed them and they are honoring my warranty by sending out a new revision of the device. its one they're currently working on releasing and i've been on a waiting list to get it.
so far i've sent in my current device and they sent me the same revision. i'm still waiting on the new device, which is supposed to take care of all issues. I have a Vizio soundbar at home and i have no stuttering issues. looking forward to the update.
Mine doesn't work with note 4. Specifically a '14 civic si. Curious to know if anybody else's factory head unit or aftermarket stopped sending metadata once you got note4. It works fine with my HTC m8 but I'd rather not resort to carrying both to have metadata. BTW, this is important thread. There are a couple or thread on code.google.com about avrcp and metadata not working right on a few phones since 4.4.
Same here. 2012 Mazda 3.
I had the issue with my LG G3 as well, but not my Oneplus.
Hopefully this is fixed with 5.0.

Not displaying in my '15 Optima, but at least it plays, better than my last car.
G3 is also common phone with this problem. There is a fix for Spotify in app store though. Still can't find a good thread about this issue if it's strictly android or OEM related or both.
Same
I don't have a solution, but I'll add in my experience...
2013 Mazda 3 with the bose system.
I had a Galaxy S3 and it worked perfectly with the car's controls and displaying album info on the dash.
I just upgraded to the Note 4 and the controls work, but I can't get album info anymore.
The S3 was up to date as much as I could get it- Android 4.4.4 with the latest music apps available. The Note 4 is also 4.4.4. The default music app does look a bit different, but I also tried Google Play Music. I played with as many settings as I could with no luck. It just doesn't display the song it's playing.
Supposedly this is because the Note 4 is using AVRCP 1.4 while the head unit is 1.3?
You have to send e mails and call and contact anyway possible. The factory units don't get updated unless the factory leans on the radio builder to make a software update. Phones get upgraded and so should radio to support the latest phones.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Everything works for me. 2013 Toyota Tundra. Get song and album info. Spotify works as well. Worked on my Note 3 before and works the same now with the Note 4.

Yeah sucks. Using my my HTC m8 still as that is my main mode of music anyways. Still would rather my note4 work correctly instead of forgetting my m8 occasionally. Still can't find out if this is Samsung's fault or both Samsung and Honda.
I'll add to this and bump. 2014 Dodge Ram. No meta data on Uconnect head unit. My note 3 on my Verizon line displays just fine. It's definitely note 4 or latest android specific.
Has anyone heard anything further about a possible fix for this?
Nope.

I too have a 14 Si, is yours a coupe or sedan? Also, I just jumped to the Note from a G3 and it worked prior to that. Could it be dependant on Android Version? I can't remember exactly but I want to say the G3 had 4.4.2
Coupe. DBP. m8 is on the 4.4.3/4 version. Was gonna convert to gpe again but HTC dropped the ball twice this week. I am guessing it's on Samsung side now. Everything call related has been very inconsistent and it's starting to get on my nerves.

Car
Just had lunch with my mom. Working with new f150. Medium grade factory head unit:
I just switched from a turbo to a nexus 6 and I'm having issue with my 13 Honda civic. I know this is an issue with the imid not receiving the metadata to display artist, song, album. However, on my turbo I never had this issue. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue with their imid specifically, and if anyone knows what program or process in the turbo was causing it to work correctly. When I first start a pandora station it works fine. However, if I switch stations or it timesout when I stop the car and starts again it just comes up with "No title, No Artist, No Album". This isn't the worst issue to have but it is annoying as I always use pandora in my car.
Honda seems bad at bluetooth, we have more issues with my wife's 2012 pilot then I do with my 2010 Nissan. Actually my 370z is far superior.
Sorry I can't help but I would blame the car before the phone just from my past experience.

I agree it is most likely the car. If I install an android compatible aftermarket head unit I think it would fix the problem. I guess I'm more trying to figure out why it worked on the turbo and if I can replicate it somehow. Moto was no help just stating that it was 2 different phones. Not a huge deal I guess but if someone came across a fix that would be awesome.
Anyone able to get Metadata to display in their vehicles? My old HTC One M8 worked fine. GS6 Active does not display any Metadata from any music player I've tried. (Pandora and Poweramp.) My vehicle is a Honda Civic 2014.
I have a 2014 Ford Focus and it works fine, however sometimes it doesn't update... It's weird. I use Spotify though.

I love Hondas, this is the first American I've owned in about a decade and a half ?
When it initially paired, does it ask if you want to make primary phone and synchronize? Something similar? Ford uses 'SYNC' and it shows everything, plus reads out my messages. Proprietary Microsoft stuff I guess.
I'm sure it can be done. I'd Google it and start reading the Honda forums. That's how I fixed all my Honda stuff.

I haven't tried phone calls. Pandora works on the Pandora app preinstalled on my Honda, but everything else over Bluetooth doesn't show anything. Everything plays over Bluetooth, just missing the metadata. My vehicle is a Civic 2014 so it's not horribly out dated. Just wondering if others have the same issue. Looks like it's gotta be my car since others are not having issues.

Is anyone having bluetooth issues with this phone? I continue to have the same issues carried over from the V30 to the G7 and now the V40. Specifically, when I connect the phone to my 2012 Subaru Legacy head unit, I get static on calls, but not when I stream media. It is quite frustrating that this company cannot sort out the bluetooth problems. For the record, it seems specific to a few vehicles, notably Subarus. My Galaxy S9 Plus does not have this problem., nor does my wife's iPhone.
Can't speak for Subaru but my Nissan Murano 2016 doesn't have any issues at all. Audio/Music and calls are all working as expected.
No issues with Ford's Sync 3.
Must be the lingering issue common to Subaru vehicles. It really is a shame that, from the V30 to the G7 to the V40, the problem continues. But, again, most users are not having this problem. Unfortunately, it keeps me from keeping this phone.

Out of curiosity I would try a stand alone bluetooth audio device that feeds into the head unit to bypass the factory bluetooth just to see what happens. Have you tried moving the phone around to see if it's getting interference from something? Just to test it out try connecting from inside your house and then go out to the car without your phone and see if you still have noise issues.
I can say one thing for a fact: Subaru Bluetooth sucks to the max. I've already replaced the head unit in my Outback due to Bluetooth issues and had some static or "road noise" as they say at the dealer on my WRX and thus won't replace it.

Enable the Developer Settings, and spend sometime monkeying with the Bluetooth AVCRP version and other Bluetooth related settings such as CODEC. this may solve your issue.

I tried bypassing the Subaru HU as you suggested, It was a cumbersome setup that caused other problem. With the V40, the static seems to be worse when the phone is in my pocket than out (the opposite of the v30). I also hear a difference when I move the phone around the car. At this point I have returned the phone. However, I am seriously considering giving it a second chance, because 1) great deals are to be had, 2) it is an underappreciated phone that I really like, much like the V30. and 3) I know the issue is the Subaru HU, not the phone. If I do purchase again, I will do some serious trouble shooting.

I might have thought something like that too. But when I had the V30, I had a similar (not exact) issue that others reported (suggesting a subaru issue in general, not my HU in particular). I have also had the HU looked at twice. Finally, It works well with my wife's iphone and my soon-to-be-sold GS9 Plus.
Not to rub it in, but the Bluetooth is working perfectly on all three cars, the OONZ(?) and the BOSE System at home.
Hope you get it sorted out.

I did request an update for my Legacy about six weeks ago. The problem persists. Definitely an issue with the head unit. Thanks for confirming this.
I have decided to replace the head unit. More and more phones are having issues with it (V30, G7, V40, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T) and so at this point it is worth it to replace the HU. It seems as if the problem is spreading to other phones (software incompatibility, perhaps?) rather than being limited to LG's phones.

You're welcome, its seems to be the head unit, as a matter of fact i ordered a new one today for 2018 forester. Its even worse on iPhones, because whenever Apple updates vthe software Subaru would have to update the units to be compatible (Harmon Cardon).. Definitely not the phone, seems like you have tested with other phones and problem still persists.
