Hi all,
I was wondering, has anyone got the Parrot MKi9200 bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit that they use with their Streak? And if so, does your system keep on connecting, then about a minute later, disconnects, and then repeats? I find that if I manually connect via the bluetooth settings in the phone, the phone stays connected (I think, either that or it remains connected for longer) but I've not had this problem in the past with my HD2. With Bluetooth on, when you start the car, the Parrot system will pick it up and sync with no problems. Any ideas? I've updated the firmware of the Parrot system with no luck....is there something I can do to the phone to keep the connection?
Any help or advice would be much appriciated, thanks!
Hey all,
For those who may also be experiencing this, I've finally got it working. Parrot have just released a new firmware v1.60 and this has stopped my phone from constantly disconnecting and reconnecting.
Hello Everyone. I noticed lately that my bluetooth connects for call audio, and media, but after like 5 minutes the media disconnects, and won't reconnect. Makes it really hard to enjoy music and stuff when it keeps disconnecting. I had a galaxy S5 that I used In my car previous to this, and it never had this problem. Is there something I'm missing here? or is there a fix that was released that I can implement? Ideas?
Normally users would like to toggle the actual assistance off and then back in once again following minutes. When that will doesn’t repair the problem, it’s time for it to forget Bluetooth connections. Head into Bluetooth, engage the call and select Forget the trouble system or perhaps products.

Curious what car you have? I have a 2015 Civic and it's driving me nuts with the connection issues. It does what you're saying at some point during my drive. Tried resetting, deleting and re-adding Bluetooth profiles. I'm not sure if it's the Edge itself or the stupid Hondalink system that is causing issues with the Bluetooth connection because it's made for Apple products.
I recently purchased the Pioneer DEH-4800BT head unit so that I could leverage the Bluetooth capabilities. Everything works great, with the exception of the unit reading my music library via Bluetooth. If I restart my Note 4 and then connect it via Bluetooth to the Pioneer head unit, it reads the library and allows me to browse my music as it should. However, if I turn off my vehicle thus disconnecting the Bluetooth connection, the unit will not read my library without me having to restart my Note 4. Has anyone ever encountered this? I have a feeling there is something on my Note 4 preventing the unit from reading the library a second time without restarting. Unfortunately hours of Google searches on this subject have left me with no solutions. What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance!
Don't have a solution for you but I have experienced a similar issue with my Kenwood DDX719 that I have owned for 4yrs now.
My work a round is to enable BT on phone after my Kenwood has booted up.
This way it reads all the time , if I stop/turn off the car I'll turn off BT and next time I started up again I re-turn phone's BT back on.
My boot up is the time it takes me to buckle my seat belt, next step is to turn on BT on my phone.
My old S4 would work all the time even if BT was already on before Kenwood boot up.
I searched a while back when we upgraded phones (8 months ago) but could not find a solution.
Sometimes when i'm running around making several stops I'll leave phone in car with BT on and after starting up car Kenwood will display all info no problem but like I said "somtimes" not always.
The only thing affected is my music library, contacts always show up even if music library is missing.

Hi, is there a chance to use two phones at the same time? Every day I use the iPhone, but I would like to be able to use Google Maps on the Discovery Pro screen in a VW Passat. Is it possible to connect an Android phone with Android Auto, which will display Google maps to me, at the same time be connected via bluetooth from the iPhone to be able to call from it? I am currently using MirrorLink, but this service works very poorly and slowly. Apple CarPlay is not an option, their maps are miserable. Thanks for help.
Ok, no one wrote back, but I found a solution.
I have Xperia Z5 Compact, on which I made root.
I have permanently turned off the Bluetooth sharing service. After installing Android Auto, I went through all the configuration steps. The service started working on the car screen without disconnecting the connected iPhone X via bluetooth.
The sound and picture are sent via a usb cable. When someone calls the music pauses, and when the conversation ends it plays again. It is a perfect combination if CarPlay is not enough, and we don't want to stop using the iPhone.
Thx for the interesting post and especially to come back with a solution. A real strange thing that people actually do follow ups.
I am also interested in this. Having multiple phones I would leave 1 in the car just for Android Auto and the other one just as a phone. If Android wireless was active the use for me would be a bit less needy.
What some people forget is that your phone barely charges if you use Android Auto and that would make it better for me to really charge my other phone while driving. During Android Auto and connected to the USB of the car the phone is in data mode and will probably only output like 400 to 500mA . This is barely enough to keep the charge.
The S7 that I have goes to about 1.9 Amp(so 1900mA) when charging on a non QC charger so after lets say an hours drive it gets more than enough juice to keep you going.

I installed the Root Essentials app from Google Play and found the "Bluetooth Sharing" service in the Memory / Application Manager tab and turned it off. From the normal application settings, this can not be done. Thanks to this, the sound and image from Android Auto is transmitted via USB, and my iPhone is connected via bluetooth for calls.

No joy unfortunately... Is it related to the usage of AA and not mirror link ?

The steps I have described have helped in the operation of AA, so that the car does not disconnect my Bluetooth-connected iPhone. When I used MirrorLink, my iphone was not disconnected and I could use both phones without any modifications.
In my case, I turned off bluetooth first and then I installed and configured Android Auto with my car. As a result, the iPhone was not disconnected which made me happy. I would also like to add that the procedure was performed on the Discover Pro radio in the Passat B8 with the App-Connect service.

I did try almost every configurations ... I erased previous telephone settings in head unit to start with a clean install. BT has been disabled on tablet (the one dedicated to AA). As soon as the tablet is connected through USB, the phone is deconnected from head unit, and the reason given is that BT is already engaged by another unit (the tablet 0-o). I did a hard reset of the tablet. No joy either... I don't know what to do next. I should stress the fact that AA is installed from APK, as the tablet is not eligible for having AA.

In Volkswagen cars, Android Auto connects via USB, however the phone connection is connected via bluetooth. Maybe your car is configured differently with AA. I also downloaded AA from the apk file.
Can your car simultaneously handle two phones connected by bluetooth? It is possible in the Passat. Maybe there is a problem here.

That needs to be checked for sure, but I still cannot understand why, with BT completely removed from tablet, Head unit still maintains a kind-of BT link with it, thus disconnecting the phone ... It appears like once AA is running on tablet, all other BT connections are killed.
Not working for me! Please help

Hi Pixege,
I have the exact same setup (Sony Xperia Z5 ROOTED + iPhone + VW Discover Pro on new Tiguan) and followed your instructions here but no luck.
Here's what I've done.
1. Made sure there is no pre-existing bluetooth pairing between Xperia and Discover Pro) - I reset the Discover Pro just to be sure
2. Paired iPhone with Discover Pro (this is the phone I want to keep connected via bluetooth for calls, etc.)
2. Permanently disable bluetooth sharing on Xperia using Root + App
3. Installed Android Auto on Xperia and connected device to Discover Pro - AA now works fine
This still caused the iPhone to be disconnected from bluetooth... when connected via AA, no other connection is allowed.
Did you do anything different from the steps above as it didn't work for me.
Thanks for helping out.

use 2nd phone for Android Auto
I was able to root my LG V35 and turn off all BT using Link2SD. Now my old V35 is plugged into my car's USB in the center console and my new S20+ connects to the car on BT for calls. It took a lot of effort, but thanks to all the tips posted here, I was able to make it happen. Rooting the V35 was the hard part. Getting the boat loader to unlock took a lot and I bricked the phone twice trying. But rooting after that was somewhat easy, though frankly, I'm not sure how I did it exactly. I was able to unlock the boot loader using the instructions here, step 1 and 2. Though somehow, I bricked the phone (for a 2nd time) trying to get through step 3. I was able to get it to go into fastboot mode and I flashed the boot with an img that was labeled twrp and magist 7.5. I wish I could remember where I got that image from, but after that, magist was installed on the phone and a few clicks later, suddenly it was rooted. Then disabling BT with Link2SD only took a minute.
GREAT post - THANK YOU!!
I have a Note 20 Ultra and a 2020 Tiguan SE, and my 2 issues are (were):
1. I hated connecting and disconnecting the phone to cable for every damn time you enter the car.
2. Since I am spending a lot of time in the car, not necessary driving - I wanted more. Especially Video.
Knowing that AA uses BT and automatically pairing every devices it connected, I though to go to iOS, and get a cheap Iphone to run Carplay, while my Note will stay on BT.
The idea of disabling BT from system after root never crossed my mind. So once seeing that post, I ordered from Amazon a Pixel XL, rooted it and removed all the un-necessary crap out of it, disabled all APKs and services using BT - and it works like a charm.
I have my Note in and out from the car with me, working on BT, and the rooted Pixel juts sits in the car connected with the wire.
Thank you!

Have the same problem. Disabling Bluetooth does not help.
Do you have a detailed guide?

Hi,
Not anything in particle, where are you stuck?
I just used any of "app disabler" app from Google Play and freeze every service you find for BT.
Other then that, once in car, make sure your phone is up and running the BT connection, before you plug the secondary device into the wired AA connection.
Good Luck.

Hi,
That's what I did.
I don't know why it doesn't work for me.
Have tried them all before.
New ROM, Call function disabled, Android Auto function disabled.
I don't know...
Maybe it's because of the VW firmware?

I have a 2020 VW Tiguan SE (USA) if it helps.
Rooted with Magisk
I used "link2sd" and "servicedisabler" apps to do it, but their are plenty others out there who will do the same.
The 2 BT services I disabled in the Pixel XL which is connected now to AA by wire are:
com.androind.bluetooth
com.androind.bluetoothmidiservice
And once again, be sure to be paired and connected with your phone ti BT, before connecting the other device to the wired AA.
Hi all, I am able to connect my Mi 9 to my car android head unit with hotspot no problem at all. Connection is fine, but there is no internet on my headunit. When I hotspot with my Nexus 6P it works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have looked at the phone wap settings but they are all good because data works on my phone, so there is a problem on the mi9 to head unit.
I have my Mi 9 turning Hotspot on automatically when it senses my car Bluetooth pairing, in order that my in-car Echo Dot can reach the internet - it works fine every time.
Have you set up something unusual in the head end like a fixed IP address that doesn't match the address range the phone gives out?
There is no possible ip settings on the head unit. When I had this issue once with my Nexus6P it was due to a problem with android 8.1 when upgraded. When I reverted back to the previous version, it worked fine. So I am having the same issue that's why I was thinking it might be an issue with the software. But I will try check out your suggestions incase there are some hidden settings. Thank you
