I recently got a new Nexus 6 and I'm having bluetooth connection issues specifically in my car. Bluetooth will connect but when it connects it shows "Bluetooth connected (no media)". So I can make phone calls over bluetooth in my car but my phone won't play media (waze/gps, local music, streaming music, etc). I have no problems connecting via bluetooth to a portable bluetooth speaker at home. Previously I had a Nexus 5 that I had no problems connecting to my car's bluetooth and making phone calls or playing media.
I've searched forums/google and have disassociated the pairing multiple times, ensured that 'Media audio' is checked in the bluetooth paired device settings, deleted the bluetooth cache, rebooted and nothing seems to resolve the (no media) issue.
It's strange because everything was fine with my old Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 works fine with my separate portable bluetooth speaker but it won't play through my car's bluetooth. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks!
Anyone?
Same issue

Sorry I don't have an answer, but you're not alone. I have exactly the same issue. Normally seems to solve itself when I manually turn BT off, then back on. But I hate to do that because it disconnects by Moto 360 and screws up a lot of other Tasker profiles that trigger from connecting to my car audio sytem. Sometimes I have to completely reboot the phone to make it work. I've tried a lot of things, but no luck yet. Hope someone knows the answer!
I had this problem one time before. Try bluetooth autoconnect. A2DP seems to not be running on your phone.
I'm having the same issue - brand new and it doesn't want to work on either of my phones I'm questioning the Integrity of the cheap $20 Walmart bluetooth car head unit
Is there a resolution for this problem? I've got the same issue as the op going on...
it can only be one of 3 things;
-your rom
-your kernel
-your vehicles bluetooth version
you can change/fix the first 2 things, but the third one is an expensive fix..
I'm running stock on the Nexus 6. It's not even rooted. Searching on this problem, there are posts that go back a few years. I figure with so many people running into this problem, someone must be working on a solution. I guess it's easier to just plug in the auxiliary cable?
I have the same issue . connected but no media. It worked properly after I re-booted the phone. We shouldn't have to do that so this bug needs fixing.
I have this problem with my new pioneer mvh-36bt deck. Only when I'm on a custom ROM though. I'd goto more options check all the boxes. Then clear Bluetooth memory on deck then it works. When I'm on stock rooted image no problems.
I had a similar issue when I switched from. Nexus 6 to 6P. In my case it turned out to be that there can be only 2 portable Bluetooth players that can be connected to my car multimedia. Deleting one of the 2 portable players and re pair Bluetooth resolved my issue
My Nexus 6 is the only Bluetooth device synced in the my car. I've tried deleting and re-pairing, turning the phone off and back on, turning Bluetooth off and back on, and nothing seems to work. :/

I have the same problem. My N6 never had any BT issues until I bought my new car today and tried to pair. My friend's iPhone worked just fine, so I'm pretty sure it's something in N6 that's the problem. Call function works but no media. This is very frustrating...

Curious if you've selected gear icon, in BT screen by device name, after paired AND while connected to view / enable all relevant options?
Sometimes when I pair I must manually update the BT access, though rarely. I presume manufacturer pairing settings (external device, not N6) don't default to all available options. Can't hurt to make sure media etc. is enabled. Good luck.

Yea, they are all checked, but it doesn't make any differences. BT also keeps losing connection. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Oddly enough, when I connected my phone to BT speaker today, no media or phone cnxn. Took my own advice and checked the BT settings. All were checked.
Unchecked then rechecked phone and media. Slight delay after uncheck before system let me reselect. Voila! Phone and media cnxn restored. BT was connected whole time.

Yes! My 1 week old Nexus 6P same issue. But all other bluetooth device pair xcellent, shows and plays media!
OK, I got mine to work on my 2011 Lexus by first pairing it as a phone then pairing it as a Bluetooth media player. Works great! Frustrating that I had to do it that way, but I'm happy I don't have to plug my N6 into the microphone jack anymore.
This thread might be dead but I found it when I searched for a solution and so will be others.
I got a Kenwood DDX5016BT in my car. When you connect a new device it will just work as a phone. To enable media you have to go settings and register it as a Bluetooth device. It right on top of the iPod settings. Hope this helps anyone or even me in a few months lol

I have a 2015 Ford Focus ST with Nav and the Sync system. I cannot get the Note 5 to play audio over USB or BlueTooth. I can get audio over USB and BT on my iPhone 6 and an older Nexus 5 I have.
Does anyone know where the USB and BT settings are on the Note 5 so I can adjust them to get the Note 5 to work?
After your Bluetooth connects go into Bluetooth settings on your phone and make sure it is connected to both hands free profile and the media profile. Some vehicles do not support the media profile
i travel like 97% of the time for work, and mine has worked just fine in all the vehicles i've rented, including the focus hardbacks (I like their mpg). in fact, I find their BT systems to be better than other vehicles'.

Yep, make sure it connects to media. I had the same issue and went into settings. Works fine now.

He doesn't either.
Few updates.
I should clarify, I am hoping to get Pocket Cast to work so I can listen to podcasts.
I have added a few MP3 song files to the Note 5 and they will play of the USB. It worked as soon as I turned off USB Debugging. It appears the Note 5 is connecting as a storage device, as playing Pocket Cast on the device will not play to the car. I even changed the setting in Pocket Cast to make the files available to other apps on the device.
It appears the Note 5 will only connect to my Sync system as a phone when using BlueTooth. I turned the BT off on my iPhone 6 and deleted the device from the Sync system. It was only showing the Note 5 and I set it as the Favorite device. I then went to the BT settings on the Note 5 and when I go to the Media setting to ON under the Sync connection, it toggles to ON and then back to OFF. It will not stay in the ON position.
So,
The setup in my car is this, Pioneer Appradio 2 with Justop K10A HDMI stick connected in the rear with ARUnchaned loaded for touch screen control via Bluetooth.
The problem: ARUnchaned doesn’t seem to auto connect once the app has started, restart Bluetooth with the app running and then it auto connects and functions fine.
The Question: Would I be able to use tasker to restart Bluetooth once ARUnchaned is up and running? And how would I go about it? (I am currently using a wireless mouse to manually restart Bluetooth, not ideal in the car)
I've never been into developing/tweaking so this is completely new to me, any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. :good:
I'm having issues with the audio when using Android Auto. I'm connected through a OEM usb cable to the car
it also appears to connect via bluetooth.
When I connect my phone to the car Ford Explorer 2017, or other 2017 models everything appears to work fine, I can use google now and ask questions, I can request to play a song. But when I ask to call someone it calls but then I can't hear an audio from the call, and the other person can't really hear me.
Sometimes it seems like it works but most of the time it doesn't. If it I reboot the phone and the car audio it works fine for a call if I don't do anything else. But If I play a song, and then trying making a call that's when I seem to have issues. Any ideas as to why this is?
I've searched the forums seems like people have similar issues but no one seemed to have any answers. I've checked the bluetooth profile and enabled all profiles, I've enabled all Android Auto App permissions.
I have a Google Pixel with Pure Nexus installed with Android 7.1.2 with the latest Android Auto app installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is this working at all
YES! Perfectly! And Google assistant keeps me company when I am stack in traffic??
Works fine for me also
hi guys,
has anyone tried P20Pro with Android Auto on a KIA Sportage latest series?
is that working fine ?
I don't know how the kia system works but with Ford I have to enable android auto in the cars settings first then it automatically starts android auto when I plug my phone in
thank for the info,
on the KIA Sportage 2017 you must first start the AA app on the cell, then attach the smartphone with the USB cable to the system, only after the KIA navigator activates the android auto function.
On a site (link at the bottom) I read that any problems of disconnecting android cars are due to the USB connection settings on the phone, but just (no root) enable USB tethering. The charging will be deactivated immediately and all available bandwidth will be used to run Android Auto.
Unfortunately, I do not know if this will be possible on Android P.

no one got a kia and p20 pro?
Working with Volvo S90.
I have KIA Sportage and you only have to plug it to usb and select android auto from the car screen.

Are you talking about P20pro connected to KIA? Or only about the connection to Kia by android auto?
Thank you
Yes! I have p20 pro connected to Kia sportage.
Ok, I'll buy it. Thank you
Ordered.... ?
Great choice for both, car and phone! :good:
I've got a Kia Optima and I don't get a ringtone on android auto - works ok when connected to just bluetooth, but on AA I just get the notification coming up on the screen and no sound
Any ideas?
Have you tried to check the media or phone volume on optima navi?
Yes, all on max. Head unit worked OK with my Samsung S7 Edge.
Will reset the bluetooth connection tomorrow, see if that helps. Already tried the Google Play Services hack, that didn't work - except mess up my Google Maps timeline
Tempted to do a factory reset and start agin - had a few issues that I now know how to fix, such as no alarms when do not disturb and whitelist is set
