Here is what I have observed:
1.) If the phone is already paired with the Pioneer, and currently connected, AA uses that pairing/connection if you then connect the phone to the USB port.
2.) If you shut the car off, leave the phone plugged in, on restarting the car you get another pairing created, and the one pairing you had before is gone.
3.) If Bluetooth is not on, plugging the phone into the USB port will turn on the phone's bluetooth, and connect to the Pioneer, usually with a new pairing.
While I guess this can be seen as a convenience to automatically turn on Bluetooth and re-pair your phone when you connect to the USB port, it pales in significance to the inconvenience associated with re-pairing my phone and resetting it up as a trusted device when I choose not to use Android Auto on a short trip. Plus you have to make sure your phone is unlocked before plugging it in anyway (or nothing happens), so it's simple to see if Bluetooth is on at that point.
And while this may be due to bugs in Lollipop 5.0, I know that if my phone is paired with the Pioneer, and I do not plug it into the USB port, that pairing auto-connects via Bluetooth as a trusted device every time.
Wish I could explain it.

I had a similar experience when I was using Android Auto. I tried it once to see what it was like, and thought it was nice but noticed that it took over my device anytime I plugged it in to USB, which I thought was excessive. But since Pandora has not released a compatible version of their program, I stopped using it. I had to remove the Android Auto application off my phone to get it back to just a normal trusted device. Peace.
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.
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.
For me it is strange. I have 2 android phones, a oneplus one rooted and a samsung s8 non rooted. I try to connect the oneplus with a cable for android auto but the S8 disconnects from bluetooth, so the 2 phones can not be connected at the same time. The weirdest thing is that my wife as the iphone 11 pro max and when she is in the car i can connect the S8 with android auto and the iphone still works with bluetooth. Why can't i do this with 2 android phones?
So, if i can connect the S8 with aa and the iphone via bluetooth, why can't i connect another android phone
rather than the iphone.?
If in my car, i have 2 "slots" for bluetooth connection:
1 combination : S8 connected with aa and using 1 "slot" BT and iphone connected using the other BT "slot", works fine
2 combination: S8 connected with aa and using 1 "slot" BT and oneplus one connected using the other BT "slot", never works
3 combination: oneplus one connected with aa and using 1 "slot" BT and S8 connected using the other BT "slot", never works
Why?
I think this is an implementation issue of the head unit. In the Subaru, I've had my phone connected to AA for navigation and my wife has used hers on bluetooth for calls. Try turning bluetooth off on the phone that is connected to AA - I don't remember, but I may have had to do that.

Hi. I have the same problem. But, if I freeze all the bluetooth services of the phone that is connected by cable (bluetooth does not work), I can connect the other phone by bluetooth to make calls and android auto works correctly.
This solution is not the best for me, since I want to connect the obd2 to the bluetooth of the phone that is permanently connected to AA.
I read online that there are people who could solve it by cloning the same bluetooh mac on both phones. But I can't find how this procedure is done.

So, if i want to play music from the android phone that is connected with the cable i can't. For me is not a solution.
How can i have the same bluetooth mac address on the 2 phones?

I believe that android auto won't work unless your phone Bluetooth tooth and cable connected to head unit.
Either one is missing, it won't work.
Correct me if I am worng

Hi. I believed the same as you. But, in my case, if I disable all bluetooth services, android auto still works, with the cell phone connected by cable. (cell phone bluetooth is disabled)
I would like to find a way to use it to connect the obd2, to the cell phone that is permanently connected.
Any idea how to solve this?
Today i had the S8 connected to the infotainment system by bluetooth and then i connected the oneplus with the cable (because i had to restart the oneplus), it started the Android auto connection and for moments the 2 phones where working at the same time (i continued to listen to music from S8 and had the android auto interface on). I was viewing google maps on aa and when i switched app, the connection with S8 broke. I still don't understand, i thought that the 2 channels i had in my car for bluetooth where not connected between one another, but it seems that with 2 android phones the connection is broken. I insist, with the iphone and any other android phone works just fine.

Hi. To me, android auto forces to connect the bluetooth of the cell phone that is connected by cable. If android car is not running I can have both phones.

It does not have to be that way, at least for me. And if this works like that is a bad implementation of android auto. My car has 2 slots for bluethoot connection, i think they would have to work independently from each other, but in this case you have 2 android phones, it seems that the connection is linked in the 2 slots and it will not work, but if you have an iphone and an android phone the 2 slots work independently and they work just fine. So...Why? I still can't get it, it shouldn't be like this.
Hi mates, the same here!
I´ve an android radio with bluetooth 5.1 and can´t find a way to connect 2 Android phones at the same time. Tha´s ´cos 1 is for calls and 2 is only for music (rooted with Viper4android). Do I need another bluetooth adapter in order to make the 2nd phone working? Or what??
Tks so much and tks in adv
In the last week i has able to connect the 2 android phones via Bluetooth in my car. The trick here is to connect first the phone that you will use for calls, and then connect the other phone. If you try to do it the other way arround it won't work.

I tried the way you described, but as soon as you try to connect 2nd phone, my android head unit says to disconnect 1st phone, in order to connect 2nd phone.
Just FYI
1st phone= S10 (for receiving calls)
2nd phone= Oneplus X (android auto)
Honda accord head unit ( android auto)
For me it's not possible.
Can you describe step by step your thing. Cause AFAIK I have no go.

First off all, my car has 2 slots for bluetooth devices, normally i use an iphone (wife) and a samsung s8. In the past weeks i was trying to connect the s8 and an oneplus one. I struggled at first but now i only need to have the oneplus turned off and connect the s8 to the bluetooth of the head unit, then i turn on the oneplus witch is very fast since this device has few apps installed and connect with the cable via android auto. I even share the internet connection between phones and can play youtube videos in the head unit. The car is a Skoda Kodiaq 2017 (VW group).

It happens to me as it does to you. When I connect with the cable it forces me to use the bluetooth of the cell phone connected to the cable.
I still can't find the solution
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)..
