[Q] Need insights into N1 bluetooth stack differences

I picked up my new car yesterday (Seat Ibiza) only to find that my N1 will not pair with the installed bluetooth handsfree system. I can find the kit when searching for bluetooth devices (picks up as Seat_BT with a headphones symbol alongside) however selecting the 'pair & connect' option results in a messagebox stating "There was a problem pairing with Seat_BT" - no PIN code is requested.
I've tested the car with other devices (laptop, other phone) and the pairing is successful.
I've checked the compatibility listing with Seat and they list (from Dec 2009) the Hero and Magic as compatible (as at Android v1.5). I've also seen posts in Seat forums indicating that the HTC Desire pairs successfully with the Ibiza handsfree option.
My N1 is stock, unbranded running 2.2.1.
Can anyone here give me some insight into the differences in the bluetooth stacks / known issues with N1 bluetooth that may help me resolve this?
Is there a way of logging bluetooth pairing requests that will help me find the root cause of this issue?
TIA

I've resolved my own problem, so here's the approach for anyone else..
To pair the Seat kit with a Nexus One you need to do the following:
1. Find an app on the Android Market called "Bluetooth File Transfer" by Medieval Software
2. Install
3. Using the app (on the 'Remote Devices tab) initiate the pairing with the car
4. You will get the PIN prompt - enter the 1234 PIN
5. Once paired the app will begin transfering something (I think it's call history but not sure).
It will then report an error - don't worry about that.
6. Shutdown the app and uninstall it (it is no longer required).
7. Reboot the N1 (to clear out any remaining dregs of the app).
8. Phone should then connect and disconnect using the standard bluetooth functionality.
Not sure why this works, perhaps the app extends the default bluetooth stack, resolving the issue that prevents the prompt for the pair passkey.
I've not fully checked the level of functionality available, but I can definitely initiate a call to the last dialled number and answer incoming calls.

Nexus S and Parrot Evolution CK3000

Anyone got his Nexus S working with a Parrot Evolution CK3000 carkit?
It says "pairing succesfull" however I cannot hear the bling it's connected. Also the Nexus S keeps saying "Pairing", even after 2-3 minutes...
Firmware version of the CK3000 Evol is 5.11C.
Anyone?
I am having issues with this combo too. Just got my NS and I am desperate for this to work as drive loads.
I really hope someone can help!
I have a CK3000 installed in my BMW (Multican). The firmware is at version v5.11C
The NS is stock, not rooted.
I have cleared the CK3000 memory by performing the volume -+ five times and the unit is ready to pair.
I can see the unit on my Nexus S. When I try and pair with the CK3000, the CK says pairing complete but the Nexus says "Paired but not connected"
I do not get any functionality from the steering wheel controls.
I've tried following some N1 advice here without success http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=18b2190b69d0f50e&hl=en
The CK3000 is actually recommend to go with the Nexus S here http://www.mobileinstall.co.uk/nexus_s.html
Please, are you able to help me get these units paired correctly?
No sooner do I ask a question, I find a resolution!
- Turn Bluetooth off on your NS and remove the pairing
- Wipe the memory from from your CK3000
- Download the free "Bluetooth File Transfer" app
- Use the downloaded app to connect to your CK3000 (it will error at the end, just ignore this)
- Close the app (no need to use it again) and your NS should have a successful and permanent pair.
^That worked flawlessly! Worked for both the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. I was about to shell out the dough to upgrade my CK3000. Thank you very much!

Nexus 5 - Doesn't reconnect with bluetooth after USB deconnection (android auto)

Hi guys!
I have a Nexus 5 and a Golf Sportwagen 2016 with android auto and it works great! But there's a problem.
When I disconnect my phone after I used android auto, it won't reconnect automaticly (even after the car stopped and restarted) with the bluetooth. The radio sends this message : Do you want to etablish connection with Nexus 5?
If I say YES, it tries to connect to the nexus 5 but need (again) to confirm the passcode on the cellphone. It is very anoying! So each time I use android auto, I have to re-pair my Nexus 5. Do you know why?
Thanks for helping me!
yaaa4
Mine had an odd hidden permission when I first set mine up earlier this week, add it as a trusted device and this should solve the re-auth every time!
