Hi Experts,
I seem to be having an issue getting BTNear to get anywhere close to working.
My goal is to do this with the in-car android head unit:
If Person A and Person B are in the car, only connect Bluetooth with Person A.
If Person A is the only one in the car, only connect Bluetooth with Person A. If Person B gets in, it remains connected to Person A.
If Person B is the only one in the car, only connect with Person B. If Person A gets in, it switches to Person A instead of Person B.
Is this even possible?
I thought I could do it using BTNear, but I can't even get a basic task to work with a BTNear condition.
Thank you geniuses!

There is a tasker plugin in the play store called Bluetooth Auto Connect you may find that can help you.
IMHO, this type of setup is just flat easier with an NFC tag. Tapping the phone on the tag runs the connect to the car profile, then you don't have to determine who, what, when

Hi,
My phone has windows 6.
In my car I have the JVC KW-AVX810 with KS-BTA200 Bluetooth kit.
I have no problem pairing the 2 devices together and manually dialing.
The problem is, Every time the devices connect for the first time, I get a windows prompt in phone, with Title “Confirm contact list transfer”. and inside the window it reads “Device JVC is asking for your contacts. Do you want to allow access?” Yes/No.
How can I prevent this prompt, and make it always yes?
Thanks.
Edit/Delete Message
Try Blue Parrot
In my area it's illegal to talk while driving now texting is included. I tried different speaker bluetooth kits. Get the Blue Parrot product! Easy to set up; almost completely hands-free. Return your unit now.
Have you tried calling JVC's customer care? They might be able to help you more on your stereo then anyone here would.

I don't think it has to do with JVC, it is a windows security prompt (it is on the phone, not the stereo).
Any device would invoke that prompt, when trying to get a hold of the contact list.
Hello,
I searched a program for my Kaiser that disconnects a BT device, such as carkit or headset, when a call is finished.
With disconnecting I mean that the device is not connected anymore at that moment.
So when I have an incoming phonecall, I have to push to connect my BT device to my phone. Then I can pick up the phone with my device.
Who knows were I can find this?
Thanks,
Temba
Hmm, I don't see the point.
When an incoming call is received, before it starts ringing the Kaiser will look for a known paired BT device, if it is on but not connected it will connect it automatically. If it's not on at that moment you're out of luck for that call.
Just leave your device connected... you should already have to push on your device to take the call, no?
Kilrah,
The point is that when I end a call, I want that my BT device disconnects from my phone. Reason is that when I walk to my car, I want to use my BT carkit and not my headset.
Maybe I had to ask how I can unpair a BT device from my phone after a call. But 'unpairing' is for me that I have to enter a pincode every time I want to connect.
Any ideas?

Hi,
This is an issue between HTC Windows Mobilie devices and carkits equiped with a parrot chip.
As far as I've understood all Windows Mobile 6.1 devices are affected.
I myself have a Kenwood DNX 8220 BT Double DIN Head Unit in the car but there are more Head Units and carkits that make use of the Parrot chip CK5050 if I'm not mistaken.
Does anyone have a tweak or a registry setting that is able to fix this?
I've allready tried to change the COD registry value to: 52020C which is suggested as a solution in a parrot forum topic:
http://www.parrot.com/forums/english/viewtopic.php?id=5620
It didn't solve the issue

Oops, had missed this reply back then. I know it's way old, but as someone brought this thread up again, never know if you might read it...
AFAIK this isn't possible. If you have 2 BT devices, paired and powered on but not connected, when a call is received / placed form the phone it will use the last one that has been either connected or selected and "Set as hands free" in the BT settings. If you want to make sure the phone connects to one of them without you going in the BT settings and set it as hands free, you need to turn the other one off.
Has anyone else been unable to make phone calls after connecting to your vehicle's bluetooth? Most of the time, I can make phone calls without issue. Sometimes, I can't even hear the call ring when I'm connected to bluetooth. Occasionally, when I turn my vehicle off, the call goes silent instead of transferring to the earpiece on the phone. The only way I can fix the issue is rebooting the phone. This has become increasingly frustrating for me, since the issue is so inconsistent.
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted and un-encrypted.
Thanks!
Same here
I'm having the exact same problem you are having with my Ford Touch Sync, Bluetooth has work maybe once. At other times only the music over bluetooth has work. But was unable to make hands free calling! I also made my ford touch sync a trusted device, and the problem with connection still continues! Hope someone could provide some suggestions
Stock rooted- TWRP- encryption removed
I am having issues also. Just today, my phone shows I am connected to my Pioneer Navi head unit, and the Pioneer shows connected to my phone. I proceed to make a call. The audio on my radio mutes as it should, and nothing. No ringing, no busy signal nothing. so i hang up and try three more times. on that third retry, i heard the other party faintly, realizing that even though my radio muted and shows BT connected, the call went through the ear speaker on the phone. When I hung up the phone, my radio unmuted.
Last week, I was having issues where i couldnt hear any rings or busy signals. It would be silent for 20 seconds or so, then i hear the other party say "hello".
I honestly thought it was my head unit, since it is about 4 years old. But now I see others with similar issues on other brand bluetooth systems in their cars.

I just got my N6 today and I'm having trouble with My Ford Touch as well. I can get it to pair and play music, but it won't "connect" to my phone. It's odd because my N5 works fine with it. I would assume the N6 wouldn't be different.
We probably have to wait for an update from Ford, which will probably take months...
EDIT: Well I decided to try it again. I deleted the Nexus 6 entry as well as the Nexus 5 entry. Went through the pairing process again and it worked as intended. Not sure what happened the first time.
I ran into the same problem as others where my N5 worked flawlessly with my Ford Sync in my fusion, but the N6 is terrible.
I love the phone, but this is really annoying. I get into the car and sometimes it connects immediately, other times I have to turn off and back on the bluetooth about 3 times for it to finally connect. Very weird. Ford offers an upgrade to my Sync system, but wants $50 to do the upgrade. Pass.
I might try what the other person did and delete all entries for phones and pair it again. Unfortunately, the weather is pretty bad outside, so it might need to wait a short bit.
Has anyone else had luck re-pairing with their car and had reliable connections?
I use Ford Sync.

I use Ford Sync, and everything works as expected. I am Stock and unrooted. I guess it would come down to what version of Sync. Mine is from 2012. No touch screen. I also delete all other entries on the system and start from scratch making sure that the N6 is the main device.
If I can wake up the screen on my own, outgoing calls work fine

I have a Nexus 6 running Benzo ROM (5.1.1) and I have a GPS Nuvi 3580 bluetooth-enabled which I want to use to make calls while driving. I have added this device to my trusted devices so my phone unlocks as soon as it connected to it.
If my phone screen is on, then I'm able to call anyone from the bluetooth device, no issues. But as soon as my screen goes off, I can't make calls and when I switch on the screen on my own, I see a message "Process system isn't responding. Wait or close?"
Irrespective of what I select on this message, the call goes through. But it totally defeats the purpose of handsfree bluetooth mode. Is there something that is not allowing the bluetooth device to wake my phone up.
Also when I receive an incoming call, I see the notification on my GPS but I can't receive the call in one go. It takes multiple calls for it go through. I have also noticed that my bluetooth device keeps disconnecting and connecting without any change on either the phone or the GPS side.

Since I last made that post you quoted, i purchased and installed a 2015 model of the Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX. It has Android Auto, but can be used with the regular Pioneer UI also. I have had no issues anymore with this new radio. Maybe the BT protocol in the radio is newer? Im not that tech savvy to know. But the 2015 radio had no issues with BT calls anymore, on Pioneer's UI or Android Auto's UI.
My gut tells me this maybe a lollipop issue in general.
*On a call
*Another call comes in
*Nexus 6 switches audio source to handset
*Call is no longer on my Bluetooth earpiece
This can happen too when email / SMS arrives. I read about a lot of car BT based issues...this is just in the headset now.
Anyone out there feeling this too?
There is a problem with Bluetooth in Lollipop or the Nexus 6

Not many people use BT in their car or daily life at this point in time. Can't tell you how many people I see driving around with a phone in one hand and a steering wheel in the other. Kind of like people here in the USA that don't use cruise control on the highway when clearly you know that their car has it. But I've been hands free in cars for over six years in fact since the HTC HD2 came out. I realized at that point, that to be safe one must use BT and have equipment in car to support this. It's becoming a law in most states in the USA but not all and is not enforced by law as much as it should be, but those times are going to change. There are some forums on the web that talk about bluetooth in lollipop and many of them are confused and think they know what the problem is, but none have proved it yet. There are also other sources that claim BT is on it's way out, I don't know about that. But yes, there are some weird things happening with bluetooth if you use it a lot. I don't know what the answer may be to your problem but you might want to try a search on google to find out more information about this issue. Good luck.

Interesting perspective and ty for taking the time to post this.
Back to the point though; anyone out there having these types of specific challenges with Bluetooth on the N6 as I described above? It really makes this phone unusable for me @ work.
Yes, I also use BT in my vehicle. It used to connect through my car speakers automatically, but now im finding that when making/receiving a call, I need to manually tell it to switch to car speakers. I mean, why the hell would my car speakers stop playing regular radio when a call comes in and to make me still use my handset to talk/listen?having to manually switch to car speakers is dangerouse while on the freeway.

I was experiencing something similar.
I had a 2009 model Pioneer AVIC-x910BT headunit in my truck. And bluetooth worked fine until I got my Nexus 6 (coming from a Nexus 5 and Nexus 4). The Nexus 6 would mute my car audio properly, but when I picked up the phone, the phonecall was on the phone and not the car speakers.
I have the same car, but now I have a 2015 model Pioneer AVIC-8100NEX with Android Auto, and have not had one BT issue yet. I am assuming that the issue was either the N6 or Lollipop5.0 was having issues with the older BT technology my old radio used. Now that I have the newer radio, no call issues yet.

Could you share the model and make or the car?
to confirm my understanding,the call audio was on phone speaker and you had to manually select the it every time?
Was this working in the past for you?
Does this happen for every call or only during multiparty call?
I am now using a different BT headset, Jabra, and the model is at least a year old. I think I am going to look for a completely new model of bluetooth headset / earpiece that came on the market much more recently and see if this makes a difference.
I have been using a wired headset to avoid these challenges, but very much miss hands free use for phone calls. Anyone else feeling this issue out there?

It has happened to me as well. I use a Jabra Tour BT speakerphone, while having music streamed via a BB BT gateway to my car speakers When on the phone and another call / sms /email comes in, the phone connection to Jabra Tour is dropped, I have to manually reconnect (but after reconnecting to Jabra the phone call ends, somehow the media stream switches from BB gateway to Jabra = more manual switching). Unsafe to be doing this on a highway. My Galaxy Note 3 and prior to that Galaxy S3 worked perfectly well with the same setup.
I understand that Nexus 6 takes advantage of the new BT tech, but it should have been made backwards compatible with the older BT devices.
Hello,
I just purchased and installed a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. So far it's pretty slick. I'll be using it with my Galaxy S6.
I noticed that when I try to disable the Call Audio Bluetooth profile from the phone side, it re-enables itself... like I HAVE to use the NEX for call audio.
I would like to be able to turn on my BT headset and use that instead, without much hassle. There are definitely times where I'll be in the car with other people and don't want the whole car to hear the conversation. It also presents a call quality issue with the far end being able to hear the system speakers.
Do I have to unplug USB from the NEX to make this work?

I have same unit, try having headset connected before plugging in your phone. That may work

I'm bumping this up. With my previous phone (LG V10) I could select which device use to make phone calls, Android Auto device or a bluetooth headset (Plantronics). Now with a Oneplus 3T that is not possible anymore.
AA automatically rerouting "BT phone" to main AA device. That is really annoying.
If someone knows a workaround to this please give advice, thanks...
You have to have it enabled, in a nutshell the unit (Pioneer) declares that it has bluetooth capabilities and declares the bluetooth mac address when it initialize the connection, than Android Auto (trough Google Play Services which is a system app) will enable the bluetooth, set up a pairing if it doesn't exist and connect to it, so no matter what you do it will always connect to it, the only way to "avoid" this is:
a) Get another phone which connects to the Pioneer bluetooth, then connect the phone (haven't tried this, but probably will do the trick)
b) Alter the pioneer unit so it doesn't send the bluetooth mac and it doesn't declare the bluetooth service (almost impossible, you will need to replace the app on the unit)
