Car bluetooth issue.

when my iphone is connected to my car's bluetooth and is also plugged in via the data cable for playing iphones music, upon receiving an incoming call, the iphone music playing through my stereo doesn't mute out during phonecalls?
this only started after my recent OS update

If you are running any software release higher than 14.1.G.2.257 (Android 4.2.2) then IT WILL NOT WORK....
AS SONY/GOOGLE HAVE COMPLETELY SCREWED UP THE BLUETOOTH STACK ON ANDROID VERSION 4.3 (.290 and .136 firmware) AND FROM WHAT I CAN ASCERTAIN, 4.4...
The only way to get your phone to work properly is to "downgrade" back to 4.2.2 - see here -
XDA
I have flashed my Z1 back to 4.2.2 and everything works fine on my Insignia with a Navi800 audio system. Make a backup first!!!!

Galaxy S6 Car Bluetooth Problems

I was wondering if anybody else is having car Bluetooth issues with the Galaxy S6. I previously had an S3 that worked great in my car (2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek) with no problems. The phone is paired with the Bluetooth in my car, but every time I shut the car off the Call Audio and Media Audio shut off and will not automatically turn back on when I turn the car back on. Every time I start the car I have to go into Settings, Bluetooth, it shows CAR MULTIMEDIA is paired but I have to click on the little wheel to the right of that and manually turn on Call Audio and Media Audio. Sometimes it takes 6-8 tries to get them both to turn on. Also, when I use Pandora, sometimes it will show song, artist, etc. sometimes not. Samsung has been no help. We called Subaru National Support to see if there is a firmware update but they said no it is a Samsung problem.

I am definitely having the same issue getting it pared is half the battle. Once it is pared then it's trying to get the voice to work the media audio connects no problem.. Then now the issue is that it connects then disconnects over and over.. Also I do have a galaxy gear 2 neo however I had this with my s5 as well and had it (the gs5) connected to my 2014 Toyota Tundra as well as my Neo with no problems at all for almost a year . Then when I called Verizon customer service I was told after calling Samsung while I was on the phone that Samsung had been made aware of the problem but had not had enough people say anything to make them start working on a fix in the way of an update so I of course made sure that Samsung was going to lay for any damages from any accidents occurring whilst I was without my hands free calling to Which they replied with a laugh... So now basically I am stuck without hands free calling until Samsung decides that they are going to maybe...... come up with a fix/update for the 600 dollar phone I just bought a week ago that no longer has one of the main features of the phone.. Thanks Samsung for the last few years I have bought the S3 S4 should have never bought the S5 because it was supposed to have everything the 6 now does have but Samsung is greedy and has to push out another year and get as much profit as possible. and Now the S6... Defending your flagship phone/Brand to the death against the, only popular because it's trendy Apple Icrap.. and now they (Samsung) can't get off there money collecting ***** to solve a major issue for there flagship phone because they don't know if enough people have the problem yet .. I can assure you that this will be my last Samsung if nothing is done somewhat quickly. Sorry for the rant.

IPhone 5S bluetooth pairing with prius in-car phone Issue

Let me begin by saying that this is my first problem with any apple device! EVER!!
I have an Verizon iPhone 5S, less than 2 months old, with the new OS 8.0.2 update and it will no longer pair correctly with my 2012 Prius V's in-car bluetooth phone. You try to call someone, it doesn't connect and you can't hang up!!!! Then auto-calls them when you turn the bluetooth on (in the phone)... but doesn't physically make the call on the phone. Now if the bluetooth in my phone is on, and I even start the car, the car states it's trying to call home. I have attempted many of the following in different combinations with no success:
Tried to end the call on the car's interface (it won't turn off), pressed the hang up button on the steering wheel -- nada.
Restarted Phone
Turned Car on/off/on
Removed all pairings and re-paired them together
Made sure the LTE option was on (the iPhone 6 option, which seems to be relatively successful, for data and voice/voice only/data only is not an option on iPhone 5S)
Now, my husband has a Droid 4 and it works seamlessly with the bluetooth pairing. The car does play, through the bluetooth, Audio through the phone.
I guess I should also state I did NOT have any issues with iOS 8.0 or the 8.0.1 upgrades with pairing with the car's bluetooth technology. I have checked and my Entune "upgrades" are all up to date.

Hello Sorridera,
The article linked below details a number of steps that can restore your iPhone's ability to correctly connect to your vehicle's Bluetooth system.

A friend of mine drives an Acura and said she is also having the same problem? I have to connect the phone every time I get in the car.

Turn Off BT on your Phone & ReBoot..
Delete the phone from the vehicles memory..
Restart the Vehicle & go thro' the Pair set up..........

Issues with Car Bluetooth and the 9630

Hey guys,
Over at the crackberry forums there are many people reporting issues with the tour and car bluetooth. Basically, for people that are syncing the tour with the bluetooth in their cars, people can barely hear them. We can hear everyone just fine, but when talking the person on the other end reports that our voice is very low. This is happening on VZW, Sprint, Bell and Telus, which leads me to belive this is an issue with the OS itself. The link to the discussion at crackberry is http://forums.crackberry.com/f141/car-bluetooth-tour-issue-they-can-t-hear-me-well-267206/ I'm hoping someone from RIM cam comment on this or provide some help. This is a VERY frustrating issue to Tour owners especially with so many places having "hands free" laws.
Thanks!

Greetings from Charleston!
I was using a Verizon 8830 World Edition until I upgraded to the Verizon Blackberry Tour on launch day July 12. I never had any Bluetooth issues before and I'm not having any now. As a matter of fact, I would say the quality is a tad better. My volume is controlled by my car when the Blackberry is connected via Bluetooth and I've actually had to turn it down sometimes because it has been so loud. I drive a 2007 Toyota Landcruiser. I suspect it has less to do with the Blackberry than it does with the car. Perhaps there's a Bluetooth software/firmware update necessary for some of your vehicles?
All in all, I love this new Blackberry!!
Cheers!

Z30 Bluetooth issue with car handsfree since update to 10.3.1.1784

Hi,
I am having a lot of problems getting my Z30 to work properly with my car's bluetooth system (BMW E46 - built 03/2004) since upgrading to this OS version. The Bluetooth system is factory installed (not 3rd party). I had a read through these forums and found some people who also had B/T issues in their vehicles, but I couldn't see what the fixes were (if one exists, feel free to point me in the right direction or send me the URL). The interesting thing is that my phone WAS working just fine until I updated to this OS version - now I cannot see my phone's Address Book on the in-car screen anymore (when I select "DIRECTORY" or "SPEED DIAL", it just displays a message "PLEASE WAIT" and does nothing).I also have issues making calls (the car isn't able to make the phone dial out). It gives the indication that it is, but when I look at the phone itself, the screen shows no activity. I have tried to Unpair and re-Pair, but no difference in behaviour.The pairing process itself works fine, and the phone asks me whether to share my contacts, etc with the in-car Bluetooth system - but even if I select "YES", it doesn't make a difference. Anyone know a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just wondering if anyone from Blackberry is monitoring these forums, as my problem still hasn't been resolved. I recently checked for a software update (hoping there would be one available), but my device tells me that I have the latest software.

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Many people are finding their Iphone 4S drops connection with their VW (Passat etc) integrated bluetooth hands free system after working fine for 5, 10, 20 minutes. The only way to reconnect is to switch the car off or turn the Iphone bluetooth off & back on.
This is a dangerous fault and it appears that both Apple & VW have no solution (or are ignoring as they have already sold you a phone & a car).

IPhone 4s No Longer connects to Car Bluetooth after iOS 7.1 Update

My iPhone 4s has been paired to our 2006 Acura TL hands free link (Bluetooth) and working flawlessly for more than a year. After the iOS 7.1 update installed on my iPhone the connection has been lost and the car's Bluetooth does not recognize, and will not pair with my iPhone anymore! I noticed there were two back-to-back updates for iOS7. The first one caused intermittent interruptions and lost connections with the iPhone. The second update completely destroyed the connection between the car bluetooth and the iPhone. Any ideas on how to correct this problem would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello algee1,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with pairing your iPhone with your Acura.
In my experience, when updates are released for iOS devices, compatible devices release an update to maintain compatibility. Step 2 from the article below recommends checking with the manufacturer of your car stereo to see if there is a firmware update available for your car stereo:
2. Update software and firmware if necessary
Verify that both your car stereo and your device have the latest software versions. Contact the manufacturer to see if any updates are available. If your device does not have the latest version of the iOS, update to the latest software version.
I recommend reviewing the full article here for additional troubleshooting steps:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
I also recommend these steps if the issue persists after following all the steps in the previous article:
Unable to find nearby Bluetooth accessories
If a pairing record already exists, the device does not appear as discoverable. Try to connect the device using that pairing record.
If you are unable to connect using the existing pairing record, delete the record and pair again.
Ensure that the firmware or software on the Bluetooth accessory is up to date.
Ensure that the Bluetooth accessory is charged or connected to power.
Verify that the Bluetooth accessory is using a profile that works with the iOS device.
Turn off both the iOS device and the Bluetooth accessory, then turn both devices on again.
If the issue persists, test Bluetooth with another device or consult the manufacturer's documentation.

Iphone 5s no longer automatically reconnects with my car bluetooth

It used to be that when i got into my Subaru the phone would automatically reconnect with my bluetooth. No longer the case. What gives?

Hi mzjody,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that Bluetooth issues with your vehicle can be very frustrating. In this situation I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the attached article for troubleshooting.
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
Have a great day,

8.2 iPhone 6 + bluetooth issue

Up until 8.2, my bluetooth connectivity with my VW Passat was just fine. I could stream music, make calls using the steering wheel controls, etc. When a call came in, music would cut out, caller id would show on the phone and I could answer the call using the steering wheel controls.
This worked for my iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPhone 6+ up until this latest iOS update (8.2)
Now, when a call comes in, my car will ring, the phone stays with a black screen. After 2 rings, my iPhone 6+ begins to ring and the caller id shows. If I was using the music app, the music will cut out when the phone rings (as it should), but as soon as the phone is answered, the music begins playing again over the call.
I can no longer make a call using the steering wheel controls. After saying 'call' then the name, the car disconnects the phone. Again, this has never happened with any of the iterations of iOS with iPhones and this car up until 8.2
I can, however, make calls using the iPhone 6+ and Siri, using the car speaker and mic.
I've noticed other glitches in iOS 8 (all versions) but this bluetooth issue is most annoying and dangerous. It has now removed Hands Free from my car and forced me to use the handset if calls are made or come in.
Has anyone else seen similar issues on 8.2? I've cleared the Bluetooth settings and restarted the phone many times and I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

Yes, I have exactly the same problem with all our VW & Volvo at work. iOS 8.1 iphone 6 & 6+ Bluetooth 4.0
now, we have bought some other smart phone with latest 4G+ technology : no more problems good connectivity
we used old iphone 4 with iOS 5.1.1: the Bluetooth connectivity was fine, but no 4G+!!

IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

Ok here is my findings:
Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
(note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well. Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
Good luck.

IOS 8.1.2 car bluetooth connection

I have lost the Bluetooth connectivity in my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe since I updated my phone to iOS 8.1.2. I have tried to reset car Bluetooth features as well as on my phone. Nothing seems to work. Is anyone else having issues and are there any solutions?

Similar to VroomVroom: I have iphone 5s, was on iOS7, went to iOS 8.1.2, and I didn't notice that I had lost a specific bluetooth connection: Garmin Smartlink - Live Traffic App. The Garmin Smartlink uses bluetooth to connect to the aftermarket Kenwood DNX891HD I have in my car, this comes with a Navigation GPS included. The Garmin Smartlink app (Live Traffic) provides immediate traffic updates if your city is covered, and my city Cincinati OH is covered. This was all working fine before I upgraded the iOS on the iphone 5S. I read another article related to "carkit" connections between iphones and car stereos (for both NAV and also hands-free) - here is the key point and my theory: Only ONE bluetooth connection can be supported at a time. In my case - the hands-free telephone (thru car microphone and car stereo speakers) works fine, and I believe this is also "shared" by Pandora App (from iphone to Kenwood). So, my theory is the iphone will not connect to the Kenwood for the Nav, since it is already connected to the Kenwood for the audio (Pandora and hands-free, I think these two "share" the same bluetooth connection, and I think the Smartlink connection is separate). I messed around this morning in the parking lot at work, and my attempts to "forget" and "pair" the iphone and Kenwood would continously start playing Pandora, but the Smartlink still will not connect (when it dis work, I would see a green circle with two cars on my Nav map screen, indicating the smartlink connection and also status of the traffic). My next test this afternoon will be to delete Pandora app on the phone, try forget / pair again and see if I can get Smartlink to work. If this works, I'll reinstall Pandora App and try to get it back as well. My past 24 hours of skimming articles (don't ya love the internet !) seems to indicate that I am not the only person with bluetooth problems due to the iOS 8.1.2 update....hey Apple...where's 8.1.3 to fix this ?

X6 Bluetooth issues

I have an Nokia X6 which I connect to both my laptop and car (Blaupunkt Hamburg stereo) for hands free, sometimes the bluetooth 'locks out' it won't connect to either at all, yet if I turn the phone off and on it will then connect to either/both just fine. Phone is running V31.0.004, I see the X6 suffers from a lot of Bluetooth issues (did anyone ever do Beta testing, if they did did they ignore the results?) so has anyone had this and got a fix, note this is my second X6 the first was returned due to a number of faults, including this same one!

Is it charged and on ???... Maya its the problem with yours" Plantronics Voyager Pro" ...

Audi iOS 8 bluetooth issue

Prior to getting my new iPhone6 I upgraded my iPhone5 to iOS8 and started to notice issues making calls using the Audi MMI.
Basically the whenever the phone connects via bluetooth the MMI shows the last dialed number re-dialing and locks up.
Looking at the phone there is no call in progress.
Just got my iPhone 6 yesterday that same problem is present!
I DID see many posts about similar issues with other cars. Just wondering if there is a work around or if we need to wait for Apple to address this with each auto manufacturer?
I will tinker with this issue and post back here if I find any work around to solve the issue before either an update from Audi or Apple comes out.
Love the new iPhone aside from this issue.

See this post for a Fix that did NOT work in my specific case, however it may work for others.
