Hi
I have a problem with my new Pixel 7 and my car. When conected won't play music automatically. I have to start manually. Previous mobile did it without any problems. What can I do?
You'll need an external app, Pixels doesn't have autoplay feature.
for example Bluetooth Autoplay Music, Poweramp EQ...
Perhaps it depends on the music app? Spotify will start playing for me automatically when I turn my car on and the phone connects to it's bluetooth.
On a Pixel 7 currently (stock ROM, not rooted).
I finaly installed Bluetooth Connect and Play app. Works fine and is free.
My Pixel is also on stock rom and not rooted.
I believe there is a checkbox in Android auto settings to allow auto start of music.
Of course, it is, bu not working in my case.

I've recently brought a new car stereo and bluetooth gateway - both of which connect to my G1 fine, however...
When I connect them (e.g. when they switch on, as both connect automatically), it starts the music player on my phone playing a random track!
This is becoming very annoying, as I typically listen to Podcasts, not music. So my question...
Is there anyway to stop this happening?
And/or automatically start BeyondPod to be the app that launches on a bluetooth connection?
Note: Am running Cyan 4.0.2 on G1, with JG-Cyan theme (default music player, with slightly different skin).
I am wondering if there is a way to stop this also. I have a Ford with the Sync system and when I call someone there will be music playing in the background until I shut off the music player. lol.
Mine is straight with the JVC KW-NX7000BT head unit. What are your guys spec? Are you rooted? What rom? And do you have the newest radio?

Not sure what you mean by 'Mine is straight'.
My head unit is a Clarion FB289, connecting to a rooted G1 with Cyan 4.02 Rom (with JG-Cyan Theme). As far as I'm aware I have the latest radio.
As the problem/action happens with two different BT devices, gotta be something to do with the phone/ROM (?)

When I said mine is straight just meaning mine doesn't act in the way you guys are having. Go to your settings on your phone and go to about phone and look what your baseband says. Most likely you prolly do have the newest radio but you just wanna check. Without having the newest radio you can run into BT problems.
It has done it not rooted, rooted with JF 1.5, cyan's 3.6.8.1 through 4.02, Hard and the 1.33.2005 SPL, always the latest Radio.
I guess it is the BT device.
New Development
I'm mainly using BeyondPod to listen to podcasts (go figure...).
But was playing with the settings following the last update, I realised that the 'enable headset buttons' wasn't 'on'.
Since switching it on, when I connect to bluetooth devices, it starts up BeyondPod, rather than the music player...
... better for me, would be nice if nothing happened!
+2 year old thread - same problem. Still. It's kinda funny, but then again it's really, really frustrating.
On the same token, cars usually request access to the contact list - and I've found that the phone allows this even if I don't explicitly allow it. If I happen to look at the phone right when the car system makes this request, I can see the notification and I get to "Allow" or "Cancel". But if I don't do anything, it automatically allows it. What gives?
This has to be a flaw of Android. It's a HUGE security risk too. I use rental cars frequently when I travel and I really don't want to give all my contact data to a car that has a new driver every other day or so.
I have a Motorola Atrix btw, not an HTC Dream. Maybe a mod could move this to a general Android forum.

If this does not work try the solution below. I just went out and trouble shooted with my radio. Seems like when I make the pair from the phone to radio I have the problem. When I make the pair from the radio to the phone its a non issue. The first phone I paired was my Galaxy note I went into the radio settings and searched for my phone; paired the phone and it maintains the connection perfect. When I switch between cd, aux and BT audio the phone stays connected. Calls come in voice switches to speaker and then after call if music is playing it resumes via what ever method it was playing pre call. ie CD, FM/AM or media app (pandora).
On my GS2 I tried making the connection from the phone first. ie making the phone seek the radio's BT signal. This is where I had problems. The stock music app would start after every call. ie send or recieve. I also got the annoying music starting everytime the device reconnected. ie the phone would dissconect everytime I switched the radio's input method between cd, aux or bt.
Soulution 1) Make the pair from your head unit and not the phone. Temporairly set your phone to visible and make the pair that way.
Solution 2) Headset block. Stops unwanted headset controls. In this case play on connect. Just remember to open app and hit the toggle button to on on your first use. found in the Play Store.
Solution 3) More of a work around. Media Button Router : App that lets you select what app you want to auto open on BT audio connect, or you can have it just display choices and cancel them out when you turn on the screen.
Both work well with the first being the better of the 2, but the second addresses you secondary criteria "or automatically start BeyondPod to be the app that launches on a bluetooth connection".
I think its solved now my this thread RIP. It frustrated the heck out me, but nowhere actually had a solution. Hope it does not come back in 4.0.
hi
Well Dec 2012 and I am still struggling with this...
I have a Subaru and a Subaru Factory radio with BT streaming. I cannot do "solution 1" as the car stereo does not have option to search for available devices.
The problem I have is not only the above but more...
0. I have the XXLSJ based Neatrom (Jelly Bean) on my galaxy S2
1. It automatically launches either "Power Amp" or the default JB music player. (earlier it used to do Power Amp, but lately it is doing the JB player)
2. I have switched off bluetooth controls in PowerAmp.
3. There is no option for switching off bluetooth in the default JB music player.
After I start the car, I usually switch on "google listen" and the try to play the podcast I want to hear,
next it starts playing and in a secon or two gets muted, (as some music app tries to autolaunch I guess)
then I do vol+ or vol- on the car stero and it starts playing the podcast, and then the phone freezes (hence it mutes again)
and I get a message "poweramp force closed" at this time if I am luck the bluetooth connection stays or sometimes
it resets, and then I have to go through the procedure again!
If I am lucky the bluetooth stays and I am able to listen to the podcast...
If I use the seek+ or seek- buttons on the car I can switch podcasts which is fine, but the Meta-tags shown on the screen are
not of the podcasts, they are still comming from poweramp. If I hit vol+ and vol- on the PHONE (not the car) then the meta-tags
switch to the next or previous song. Note that as the metatags switch I am still listening to 'google listen' and not poweramp.
I would have liked this to work cleanly.. but well...

Hi, I recently bought a Mercedes Benz A-Class 2013 with the Audio 20 CD package. The in-car hands free works great, and I'm able to play music over Bluetooth from my phone using the standard music app on my phone (I've tried both a Sony Xperia S and my HTC One). The title, album and artist of the current song is displayed fine as well.
The problem is, I only use Spotify or Audible to listen to music or audiobooks. Never the default music app.
When I try to play music over Bluetooth using Spotify, it plays the selected track for exactly 5 seconds, before it stops, and the built-in computer tells me that the Bluetooth playback is paused. No title/album/artist information is displayed either.
Does anybody know how I can fix this? I'm up for rooting my phone if that is necessary, as long as I'm able to play music from my phone using Spotify.
In the online manual to the MB car computer, the HTC One isn't one if the supported units, but my Xperia S is. Still, neither work with Spotify over Bluetooth.
I have tried to put Spotify in both online and offline mode. Neither work.
Alternatively, does anybody know of a way I could tunnel the audio output (and song information) from Spotify and "mask" it as the default music player app? (I know this is pretty far out there and if even possible, is probably very hard to do, but I'm open to any and all suggestions.)
Any help is appreciated!

I have been facing this issue on various roms and the fix is that when the phone connects to the car stereo it does that as a phone and a music device I just deactivated the phone and then the connection was stable the minute I activate phone it would drop the connection. Hope this helps

Thank you so much for your reply! I did this, and suddenly, for no reason apparent to me, it works no matter how I connect my phone to it.
To sum it up. I disconnected my phone from both the music and the telephone screen. Then I connected it to the music screen, played a song, and while playing, connected it to the phone screen. Again, somehow everything works no matter which order I connect them in now. Weird, but I'm not complaining!
Hi,
While I am streaming music via Bluetooth to my car and using Google Navigation, a problem occurs. When the Navigator tells me what to do next, I can't hear anything (no music as well).
So, so far, I have found 2 MAJOR PROBLEMS with the Note 3 :
1- You won't be able to play music after making/receiving a phone call. Error message: Unable to play during phone call. If you use another music player app other than the stock one, such as Winamp ... you can play the music, but the sound does not come out from the speaker at the bottom, but the speaker on the top.
2- This Bluetooth issue.

Were you able to find out the fix for these issues? I am having the same problem.

Until now, I have not found a way to fix this annoying problem yet.
i have the same issue
Normally, i stream music with bluetooth to my car. sometimes i use waze at the same time. whenever a directional prompt or police warning comes on, it used to pause the music and the lady speaks the direction. The music then resumes and everything was fine.
Now, when the prompts come on, the music cuts off (but doesn’t pause, because when it comes back on its at a later part). Sometimes the voice prompt makes it thru but is choppy/garbled, or sometimes no voice at all. This behavior is the same for waze and google maps navigation.
I tried the setting to make it use the phone speaker instead, but it’s the same thing.
I noticed that this first happened after I installed the Themer app. I didn’t find the themes interesting enough and uninstalled it. I’ve had this issue ever since. I’m tempted to factory reset the phone, or better yet, root with RDLV since I’m still on MI9 as I understand RDLV wipes the phone anyways…

Are you having the same problem with streaming music via bluetooth not working ?
When you turn on your bluetooth to connect with the car, the phone will be put in "call mode" which doesn't allow you to play music at all? And even if you turn your bluetooth off, the phone will continue assuming that youre on a phone call, and doesn't let you play music.
At least right now, I and one other person in this forum are having the same issue.
It really drives me crazy.I think its because of the update to MJ5, I never had this problem when I bought the phone, only after update. . But now I can get back to stock, since their is no stock firmware for it yet.
my problem is with navigation prompts (either waze or google map) not working with I am streaming music thru bluetooth. when not streaming music the directional prompts come thru just fine. i can stream music to the car with no problems about being in call mode
Hi I have a xperia z5 compact and i have an issue that happens when I use spotify or google play music on android auto where once I disconnect and then reconnect my phone to the android auto headunit (pioneer 8750nex aka 4100) the sound will play through my phones speakers instead of my cars speakers, I've found that once I go into apps and stop the google play music or spotify app then it will work again, but why is this? is there a fix, I have just updated to 1.4 and the issue is still present, if you however dont listen to music and just use navigation and maybe just listen to the radio you generally wont have any issues. There is another person I saw post on spotify forums the same issue so its not my devices its an issue with android auto.

In my Skoda Octavia no problems. Works very well with android auto 1.4 and Sony Xperia Z3.
I don't know if google reads these forums or what, but just yesterday there was an update for android auto that appears to fix the issue so you can keep disconnecting and reconnecting the phone from your car head unit and the music will still play out of the car speakers HOWEVER this is only with google play music the issue is still present with spotify

Same issues here with my Xperia Z5 Compact and Pioneer AVH-X8700BT. I found out another workaround: When sound comes out of your phones speakers, unplug phone -> go to settings and disable bluetooth (was auto enabled when connecting via AA, but it says "Connected(no media)") -> enable bluetooth (you will notice that "Connected(no media)" will disappear) -> plug phone and voilà, Spotify works...problem is, when using Google Voice Search, the connection goes back to that state described by you... The only way to really get it to work as expected, is to reboot your phone.
is it an issue with the pioneer units or android auto itself? as ive tried android auto on other phones using the pioneer 8750 and they also have the same issue
Hello!
Is anyone else's Marshmallow Bluetooth Media borked? Basically after upgrade it doesn't connect to Honda's audio system any more -- it connects as a phone, but then turns off Media (so music playback, iHeart radio etc all just play on the phone). Tried to delete the device and re-pair it again. Pairing was successful, but then afterwards phone just turned off Media Audio option and I can't turn it back on.
Any suggestions?
I have a SoundBot 360 bluetooth kit for my car and I didn't have any problems streaming google play music after updating to Marshmallow. Does this happen on all your bluetooth devices?
i was able to use bluetooth today (calls and pandora) without issue aside from head unit signal occasionally not properly opening the pandora app on my phone (had the same intermittent issue on 5.1.1)
SM-G920T 100% stock OTA upgrade from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1
factory touchscreen head unit in a 2015 honda civic EX
also, just noticed something that i didn't see before... on your pull-down menu, you have the option to select which "output" you want to use when you have multiple options available. might want to check that.
Works fine for me. I did a full wipe and firmware flash though, not the OTA.
