I just got a new VZW Moto X, (4.2.2) and while trying to stream bluetooth audio to my car stereo via an isimple connect kit (ISHD651), I get a very annoying static/crackling sound, which makes listening unusable. My old phone (HTC Droid Incredible 2) (2.3.7) worked great, with no issue whatsoever. However, the Moto X does work fine with my wife's car stereo (Pioneer DEH-X9500BHS). This seemed very strange, so I did a bit of investigating with a bunch of our devices. The Droid Inc2 (2.3.7), Nexus 7 (4.3), and Wikipad 7 (4.1.1), all worked fine. My Acer A500 (4.0.3?) and the Moto X both exhibited this crackling with my iSimple Connect car kit, but worked fine when streaming to other devices.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Is anyone smarter on bluetooth a2dp that could explain what might be happening here? Are there any other ideas of what I can try?
This is extremely frustrating, as I bought and installed the iSimple kit specifically for this purpose, so I could stream audio and control play/skip from my car stereo, and it was working great with my Incredible 2, but that phone was showing its age.
I've seen some info about other 4.2.x devices having bluetooth audio quality issues, but I wasn't sure if it was the same problem or not.
Any ideas?

I just changed from a 2.3 device to a droid mini running 4.4. I have the same problem. I've contacted Isimple to open a ticket and hopefully see if they will release a patch to flash the isimple connect gateway with. The droid mini works without issue with a bluetooth speaker that I connect to - but does not work properly in the car.
The symptoms are slowed audio, and crackling.

I've tried pursuing the problem from both the PAC(ISimple) and Motorola ends. Never got anywhere. 4.4.2 on my Moto X doesn't fix the problem either. I've pretty much just given up on it working. I guess I'm just stuck with using a AUX cable for music. Voice calling works fine, but bluetooth would be much more convenient

I have a ticket in with PAC. I told them the whole issue, mentioned this thread, and even offered to beta test a patch.
I suggest you do the same. Call them again, open a ticket. They acted like no one had called before about it.Speak to them on the phone.
I'm using aux for now, but surely this can be fixed. I don't think 4.4.2 would have fixed it... 4.4.3? maybe... isimple isn't the only device that got broken from 4.4 though.

Unfortunately, I had some issues with technical support this past friday. I have gotten no indication they have even tested the device, nor that they even want to. They have tested ios7 though, and released a document on how to deal with some connectivity issues with ios7 and the isimple.
PAC is blaming google, and says to contact motorola, but we all know that this is futile.
Looks like I might be ditching this thing soon. I am unimpressed with their willingness to even understand the problem, let alone try and fix it. If anyone else has 4.4 and an isimple connect, I urge you to call in and voice any problems you are having.
Just Talked with PAC
So I just got off the phone with PAC as I was experiencing the exact same issues on my 2007 Classic Chev 2500HD. I spoke with tech support and they told me they were unaware of any such issue. I mentioned this forum, but still said that this is the first they herd of it. I do not have the Moto X, but I am having the same problems with my Note 3 Running 5.1.1 CM. If anyone does find a solution this would be truly helpful.
I upgraded a Verizon 2013 Moto X to the Verizon 2014 Moto X.
With the original Moto X, I activated OK Google Now - worked great. Installed the Google Experience Launcher. Still worked great.
With the 2014 Moto X, I activated the Ok Moto X - works great. Installed the Google Experience Launcher - still works great.
My problem is, when comparing the 2013 and 2014 Moto X's, when I turn on my bluetooth earbuds or start my car, when the bluetooth connects, the Blue Moto Voice app launches, waiting for my voice input. After a few seconds, my Play Music starts, as expected.
Is there any setting, etc (I've tried every combo I can think of) to prevent this from launching with a bluetooth connection.

Touch to retry". when i want call someone the phone crashes. also my bluetooth headset is not working. it is connecting but there is no audio.

please help me!
What Rom do you have installed in your device?
I've tried stock KitKat, stock lolliop,Titan prime, cyanogenmod 12.1. Now i'm at stock lollipop. I think it's something like a driver problem. When i go into the service menue oft the moto g by tipping *#*#2486#*#* and test the speaker i cant hear anything. When i want to test the mic i get an error. Any app which needs audio has an error.

Hi there,
I have the very same problem, I've performed a factory reset from the recovery menu, I've also test both speakers with a tester and they are both working, did you resolve the problem ?

Hi,
I am using LuK1337's AOSP ROM (5.1.1) on my Moto G 2014. Whenever I connect my bluetooth headset with my phone my phone's performance goes down...it takes long time to open apps and becomes laggy.
My friend used the same bluetooth headset on Redmi Note 2 and it was smooth, he can even play games smoothly while connected to bluetooth headset.
I am not sure what is casing this and what is the solution.
Please advise..thx
Hey everyone,
I am currently having bluetooth issues with my Moto X4 and my stock stereo. I own a 2012 Scion xB with the stock stereo. I've had this issue before when i owned the Pixel XL but don't have an issue with my iPhone 6s. Whenever I connect my Moto X4 to my car music and GPS it works fine, but when I get calls/make calls, sound is distorted and crackling making it pretty much unusable when I'm driving. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
If you have had this experience, please let me know. I might have to pull the trigger and buy a new radio and try it i can't figure out a solution. Thank you!
Misunderstanding so thread has been restored. OP has the Moto X4 and its causing issues with his cars stereo. Previously had the Pixel XL and it had a similar issue.
I for one had this same issue with my Pixel XL and my tC's stock stereo. Fortunately we received android P yesterday and this seems to have fixed it for me. Hope that it does for you when moto gets around to updating your device. If anyone else has an idea please help out this member.
Thank you all
Wolf
Thank you for restoring my post,much appreciated.
