Hi guys i have a nexus 7 2013 installed in the dash car as entertaiment system.
I would like to ask you some help to share the internet access of the phone with the tablet, that has a low data subscription.
I tought about a profile on the tablet trigged by screen on that turn on bt and some how tells to the phone to active the bt, pair with the tablet and share the internet access.
Can you please help me? I don't know where to start.
Thank you in advance.
I have something sort of similar set up, but the other way around (profile is on my phone, car head unit doesn't need tasker). It looks like:
Profile:
State=BT connected 'Car Kit'
Task=WiFi Tether set On
Exit task=WiFi set On
So...when the phone sees it is connected to the car via bluetooth, it turns on mobile hotspot. The phone is a known wifi network to the car, so the car connects automatically. When the connection is dropped (i.e.; the car turns off), the phone turns wifi on which also turns off the hotspot.
Not exactly what you're trying to do, but more or less the same effect.

when bluetooth is on the connection status says network where it normaly shows 3g (i think refering to the bluetooth pan adapter as its configured for gremote) when i turn off bluetooth the data connection is there straight away and it does not need to connect and all applications work again like opera i.e and the weather tab. but if i turn on bluetooth it times out again and does not connect to anything needing a data connection
anyone know what i need to do to stop the mobile thinking that the network pan conection is defaulted over 3g when bluetooth is on?
can anyone help me please??? its driving me mad!
Tried posting this question to MTCD-discussion folder but the system didn't let me (moderators please move it there if you consider)
Has anybody managed to get the internet on the android auto (in my case a MTCD) through bluetooth tether (maybe with an app?) Reason why I want to do this, is because I want it to happen automatically, but iOS (as my phone is Iphone) is broadcasting the personal hotspot SSID only for a limited time. This means every time I get in the car I have to stop and restart personal hotspot.
On my Joying MTCD-device there is no option in the WIFI-menu of "connect to network even if SSID not broadcasted", and no option in the bluetooth menu for bluetooth tethering.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Tethering over Bluetooth is not possible with these units as far as I know.
But try the following:
1. From the iPhone turn your Personal Hotspot off.
2. From your car's Android find your iPhone's hotspot and make it forget it.
3. Now go to the bottom of the list, choose "Add Network" and type your iPhone's SSID and passcode manually.
4. Hit Connect and turn on your Personal Hotspot.
Now the car unit thinks that this is a hotspot with a hidden SSID, so it will not look for a broadcast.

Hi! Tried this, doesn't work! It still connects only after i turn the hotspot on (when ssid is broadcasted)...
Yes, I just tried this with my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 9.3.3. It looks like iPhone's Personal Hotspot doens't just stop broadcasting the SSID after a while. It turns off the hotspot completely! I tried to connect to it with my PC the way I would connect to a hidden network - no luck either. So there is nothing that can be done, because the problem is the iPhone.
The approach I described above works for hidden networks, but obviously it cannot work for non-exiting ones.

Thanks for your reply, CVT! Must be this problem, indeed. I assumed that it is still on, as actually the togglebutton is still on, but it seems I was wrong.
HTC One M7 CM13.0 (no sim/data) running Android Auto, connected to Honda Accord 2016 all times - soon as car starts android auto starts, using Bluetooth Tether Manager app to auto connect to Iphone hotspot
Iphone 6S IOS10 Beta3 (data) bluetooth hotspot.
Car starts, turns on bluetooth on android phone, android auto starts, then tether app connects to my iphones bluetooth tether.
The bluetooth tether manager app says not connected, but the bluetooth in the menu shows connected to my iphone.
I think this is what you are trying to do as well. If you can bluetooth tether to your iphone, this might work with your unit.
Does simply plugging an iPhone into one of the usbs for tethering Work?.
It does not

Googling shows mixed results over whether this will be possible.
When my phone connects to the car Bluetooth, can mobile hotspot also turn on so my car sat nav can use the phone data?
Currently I have to turn it on manually each time.
Thanks

I do it with secure setting plugin... but you need to be rooted.
Regards,
Sorry for a possibly dumb question, I am new to android. Does Tasker provide additional functionality when rooted?

Can be done:
State: BT near (select BT from Nav device) -> task wifi set off, wait 2 seconds, wifi tether set on.
On android 6 I used secure settings for also switching bluetooth tether on. This doesn't work for me in android 7.0.
I now use the app Blue Car tethering. This checks for a bluetooth network and then forces bluetooth tethering.
This is unrooted for both phones.
From what I gather, YMMV depending on the phone, head unit, or even carrier. This works to turn on the hotspot and re-enable wifi/turn off hotspot when the bluetooth connection drops for my current setup (rooted Honor 6X/Android 6, Cricket Wireless, Android 4.4 head unit):
Profile state=BT Connected CAR KIT,*
Action=WiFi Tether Set On
Exit=WiFi Set On
I don't need secure settings for that to work on my Honor 6X, but I have two other phones that profile doesn't work on, so you might have to play around to get something that works for your particular setup
I've got it working, thanks for the help folks

Would you mind sharing how? It would be very useful to me. Thanks :good:
Sure, create a new profile based on State
In the filter type 'BT'
Then click BT Connected
Then select or type the exact name of the bluetooth connection of your car
Then create a new task for Tether On (instead of trying to find the options, I find it much easier to search)
Job done, works every time for me. As tether automatically turns off itself after xx minutes of not being used, I didn't bother setting an exit task to turn it back off.
Is this related to Bluetooth tether or wifi mobile hotspot?
I'm looking for an automated solution for my car android 2din device.
I am trying to achieve the following effect and for my life can't figure out how to do it.
Hardware: Samsung Galaxy Watch, Samsung S10+ (unrooted) and My Car with android auto
So the Galaxy Watch should connect to bluetooth when my mobile is connected to wifi, disconnect the watch when the wifi is disconnected so that it is automatically connected to the car when I turn on the ignition. However, if the car is not connected with my mobile in 15 mins, the watch should connect again irrespective of the wifi state.
Basically, i want my phone to connect to my car bluetooth if i am in the car and to the watch if not. I was hoping to use the Wifi connection as a determinator that I am going out if not connected to it.

Super easy...
Create a Profile-> State ->net -> wifi
Give desired settings of your WiFi
Use task Bluetooth connect to watch
Add an exit task to the same profile to connect to car Bluetooth.
However better option is not to use WiFi rather use Bluetooth near state in Tasker .
I have wireless connected aftermarket Android Auto (IDCORE on a 2015 RRS), connected with my Galaxy s10 (android 10,stock, unrooted).
System works fine, but once in the while when firing up the system (starting engine) instead of the Android Auto start logo I got a blank screen. Putting the phone to airplane mode and taking it out again solves the issue, so I assume it has something to do with 'handshake' between car AA and my mobile - but I cannot find the culprit causing this glitch.
Anybody with similar experience, help how to solve it? My suspection is double BT connection, as car connects BT (for handsfree calling) and IDCORE also connects BT to set up wireless AA. When connected with USB wire, never seen this problem - but, of course, point of having AA is cutting wires in the car (mobile sits on a wireless charging pad when in the car)..
