Car Blutooth Issue

I am having a different car bluetooth issue, when my watch is on, and I am in my car. The bluetooth connection to the car keeps disconnecting and connecting, but never last just a continued cycle of disconnect and connecting. When I turn off my watch, the car bluetooth connection works fine for music and phone calls. So I have to turn my watch off when in the car basically...really..????
Please SONY help?
and when is the new update hitting our watches?
too much potential here to let slide....

bumping to see if anyone can answer...

Car stereo issues

Does anyone know how to fix the problem of running there iphone thru their car stereo system. ever since i loaded the new os4 into the iphone i cant seem to get it to work the stereo ipod cable. tried everything. reboot this, reboot that and nothing. my old iphone works and still has the 3.1 software on it.

Hi.. I have a Sony Mex-bt3800u and had the same problem. Bought it when I was running os4.0.1 and after a hard reset everything worked great. Last weekend I updated to os4.1 and the stereo would no longer connect via usb.. But it wud thru Bluetooth. It drove me mad n nothing was able to cure the problem. I spoke with Sony n they said apple needed to fix. I wasn't happy n almost took the stereo back.. B4 I finalised this decision tho I visited halfords with my lead n phone n realised it wudnt work with any of the stereos which meant it was an iPhone problem. So I kept the stereo as it has the best of everything n least it still had the blutooth streaming option. Anyway.. I ordered an iPhone 4 last nyt which should come 2moro so decided I wud set my 3G up for my gf/t mobile. Now os4.1 doesn't have an unlock so I decided to downgrade back to os4. This ended up being pointless because it didn't downgrade the basement also. So I upgraded str8 afterwards again n am now waiting for 4.2. Anyway to cut a long story short.. My phone didn't connect b4 doing this.. I backed up from a much earlier backup n synced only the music at first and then afterwards a few of my apps too as it'll b set up as a new phone once the 4 comes thru the door. This was done yesterday. I came out to my car this evening and much to my amazement the phone now works with the stereo perfectly again. And I'm not even 100% sure why. Everything is the same as it was. Except I guess I skipped os 4.0.1 as now I went from 4.0-4.1. Other than this I only synced music.. Then apps. And I haven't added my Cydia tweaks cos theres no point yet. I did do the complete upgrade within it tho as before and the iPhone n stereo connectivity Is fully back for anything iPhone related on youtube.. Follow dinozabinos or what it is he calls himself. I never have any issues following his advice. This myt not solve your problem but it certainly has mine. I used the same oringinal version of 4.1 as I already had previously so that ain't updated!!. So I don't yet see what's different. But I can defiantly assure you this worked. If ya can't tell.. I'm made up. I may trobleshoot further if the new 4 has any issues. Good luck. I'm assuming this post won't b banned by mentioning the word Cydia because it's helpful and I found a big named store t'other day selling iPhones 4 which all had this on them. This told me 1 thing. They were jailbroken. Say no more.

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.

4.3 Update - Car Stereo Issue, voice dialing not working with Bluetooth

I've seen some similar issues reported, but they were for specific cars/stereos, and the symptoms were different, so I'm posting about mine:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3.
Car Stereo: Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
This is a stereo I bought and installed myself. All of its features worked fine, and I was enjoying making calls using voice dialing via the stereo. Then, I installed the 4.3 update to the Galaxy SIII. Ever since (literally, I made a call that day before installing it, and tried shortly after), I cannot use the voice dialing feature. Any attempt to use voice dialing or voice commands via the car stereo will fail. Here's what happens:
I do a long press on the car stereo's Home button to initiate voice dialing. On my phone, S-Voice starts up, and a Toast (little message) pops up briefly that says "Check in-car audio". When I talk, the little animation on the microphone button in S-Voice does not happen, meaning it's not hearing anything. The car stereo shortly cancels out of voice dialing mode, as though it timed out, or something.
I've tried switching to Google voice, but the same thing happens. I've tried all kinds of configuration on both devices. I've unpaired and re-paired. Nothing.
Also, turn-by turn directions from Google Maps appears to not work. The app thinks it's giving them, and when I turn the car off, the voice suddenly works from the phone, but it just won't come out the stereo.
All other features work fine, including Pandora, and streaming Bluetooth audio. I can even make phone calls, by accessing the contacts and recent call list from the car stereo. The calls work and come through the stereo fine. Literally voice dialing and Google Maps are all that doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

There could be any number of factors that may be affecting this, byounie. It may be that the firmware on your car stereo headunit may need to be updated. My direct recommendation to check first would be to access your bluetooth submenu, and next to paired info for the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT, you should see a little cog wheel/settings icon. Please select this, and start unselecting everything available there. Work your way up, and enable and test these different settings one by one, to see if there is a conflict between Google Maps and Voice dialing services. Let us know what happens, byounie.

Verizon " Expert Care" - Computer issue

I am currently involved in a Verizon Expert Care claim that I am hoping will be resolved soon.
I am somewhat of a computer expert by hobby with about 30 years of experience.
I special ordered a fairly high end laptrop not quite 3 years ago. Jast after the initial manufacturers warrenty expired (HP), it began having video issues. Problem was solder joints on the motherboard weakening due to heat from GPU & CPU. I had this fixed not quite 2 years ago by a repair outfit that had a special infra red oven that will re-ball the motherboard at a cost of about $ 100.00.
Upon getting the laptop back from repair, I was made aware of the new "expert care" program which would cover all of the computers in the household (4) against damage or repair issues. I signed up for it since laptops are difficult to service yourself beyond basic component replacement. All was well until about 6 weeks ago when the laptop started exhibiting the same symptoms as before.
I contacted Expert Care, paid my $ 75.00 fee, and initiated the claim. Everything was excellent in the beginning. I received a laptop box & next day air UPS package to their repair facility within 24 hours. I packed up the laptop & attached a letter to it explaining what the issues were in detail to make the tech's job easier. I was informed when the repair facility received the laptop, also within 24 hours. I was also given progress reports by telephone almost every other day. I was then told that a part had to be ordered, and was expected in 2 days. About 3 days later I was told that a new screen was ordered. I new that the display was perfectly fine, as it worked perfectly when I sent the unit in. ( My issue was intermittant at the time, and I was trying to get it fixed before it got worse.) I was then having questions as to what was being done, that had no connection to the problem that existed.
The next day, I was told that the laptop was being scrapped, and I would be getting a replacement. This was quite a shock, as I was expecting the unit to be returned without too difficult a repair.
NOTE: Customers are prohibited from speaking with the repair facility techs.
NOTE: Scrapped laptops are NOT returned, although I had the hard drive returned for security purposes.
The initial laptop replacements offered were basic entry level machines that one could buy almost anywhere for about $ 700 - $ 800. Not even close to my high end almost $3000.00 laptop. The Expert Care program provides coverage up to $ 2500.00 per year. I was assigned a "case worker" upon Verizon's decision to replace the unit. She seemed only somewhat knowledgeable about the machines. I did some online research as to what would be an adequate replacement for what I had, even though technology has changed somewhat in 3 years. The next offer was two machines that were better, and of two of the brands that were on my list. I checked out the model numbers, and found out that they were closeouts, but still not equal to the specs of my defunct machine. We have now been going back & forth for the last 3 weeks to settle this matter.
I have spec'd out exactly what I need, as I use it for my business, as well as entertainment when away. I need a high horsepower machine, and it must again be special ordered. I am also willing to pay for the extra cost components that are absolutely necessary, and also reset the service life of the new unit for at least another 5 years.
The latest communication from my case worker is that what I have spec'd out EXCEEDS my AGGREGATE LIMIT. No one ever told me about any aggregate limit or exactly what the amount is. I am NOT PERMITTED to share in the cost of the upgrades. What kind of sense does that make. Am I to settle for a machine that will not perform to my needs? I have even gone as far as reducing the new machines spec's with some components that I am capable of adding myself after receiving it, in order to reduce the cost. FYI, my initial specs were for a unit less than my $ 2500 coverage limit. I am not one trying to get something for nothing. I am willing to spend whatever it takes to get the unit THAT I NEED to perform for those needs.
I am told that there is a buyout of my old unit, but judging the current situation, I think thay are going to low ball it. I have yet to be informed of what the amount is.
Bottom line: Expert Care is turning into something different than what was sold to me initially. By constraining me to under equipped machines, and not even being able to share in upgrade costs makes this what seems to be a worthless program. I will not accept an amount less than 66% of my original machines cost. I think I am being very fair, but I also think the possibility of a small claims court case is a possibility. NOWHERE in the fine print is any such thing as AGGREGATE LIMIT mentioned.

I am sorry to hear that you aren't happy with Verizons Expert care. To be honest I love it and that is the only reason I am still a verizon customer.
First let me say that you should have been informed that if the item isn't able to be repaired correctly (not just a quick band-aid repair, that you would receive a new system that is worth what your system is worth at the time of repair. You mnetion that you are pretty knowledgable when it comes to computers so this should not come as a shoke. Computers 3 yrs or older truely aren't worth anything. The cost of the system when you purchased it doesn't matter. They will make sure your processor, hard drive and important items like this equal the old system, which is better then most companies.
Three years ago windows Vista was the operating system and most people had 32 bit OS's instead of 64 bit OS's. Hard drives are about 250 gigs. Well 250 gigs is nothing now.
I am shocked that they had to send in your laptop instead of having someone come to your home. I spoke to the techs before they scheduled to come to my home to repair my system. I explained the issue and they ordered the part prior to coming. If they wouldn't have been able to repair the system, I knew I would get a new system. Because I only have high end systems in my home, I knew the replacement would be great although the cost would be different from what I paid, 3 yrs ago.
I have to say.....this service alone is worth every penny i pay to Verizon. Remember a 3000.00 computer will be worth 1/2 that after 6 months. Something new is out every 6 months.

E61 and CR-47 in-car handsfree issues

Compatability issues:
I've just installed the CR-47 handsfree holder for the E61 in my Mini and connected the antenna, replacing a previous holder for smaller 6100 pop port Nokia. However, now when the E61 is firmly in the holder it charges but when making a call does not automatically turn the radio off and go through the car speaker system etc, so you can't talk to the other caller. But if I put my old Nokia into the CR-47 it works beautifully.
Could there be a problem with the setup of my E61 which is preventing connection? It seems that the E61 cannot trigger the correct Pop-Port connector for routing through the car kit - very silly.
I'm afraid I don't know which car kit it is, but I do know that it was professionally fitted with cable runs through the structure of the car and all wired up to the in-car entertainment system etc.
There is also an indicator in the top righthand corner of the screen - a tray with an arrow pointing upwards. What does this mean, I can't find it in the manual?
I don't see how Nokia can sell this cradle for the E61 with a Pop-Port interface when it won't interact with the handsfree functions except for charging.
Thanks guys!

It sounds like you have a cark-126 car kit which has old software and limited compatabillity, you will need to upgrade this to a ck-7w. you can identify a cark-126 if the pop port plug going into the bottom of the cradle is rubber, has no nokia makings & has small slits to the bottom.

Foreign apple care + battery issues

Hi people,
I tried searching for similar issues but it seems I have several of them combined. And I've just about gone crazy with this issue so I need to hear your opinion/advice.
I was living in the States in 2008 and in September I bought my 15" MBP. Got a Apple Care warranty with it as well. Now, I live in South-Eastern Europe, in Macedonia, where there are no official apple stores.
A month a ago my battery died and by dying I mean all-of-a-sudden, it showed 0% and the charger was green. A couple of hours later is started swelling and by now it's almost complete open. I went to a retail store here who told me to contact apple.com
I did. Called the US number. Got a very helpful advisor who told me that the retail store over here does have the right to submit a warranty request, upon which apple will send me a new battery. If not she said I should call back and they'd give me information on what the closest apple store would be in the region so I can try there.
The store over here, however, is being completely irresponsible and unprofessional to begin with. I went about 5 or 6 times, asked to see the certified technician who was never there. I left my contact detail 3 times in 4 weeks and no one called. Finally, I had to ask for a favor from a friend and got the technician on the phone who said I would have to pay for the whole thing which is not what anyone from apple mentioned.
I called back Apple in the US. This time I got some ignorant guy who thought I was calling from Asia, and despite me asking him a very concise question about how justified this claim that the store is making is and what are the other places near by I can go to, he kept ignoring me and kept repeating that it will be handled once I come back to the States. And that I should buy a new battery. I told him I live here and I have no plans of coming back any time soon, so he said he can't help and gave me some other international number which only takes emergencies.
Now imagine my anger about 1st being told one thing and then another. Not only that but he claimed to not be able to do something which the previous advisor did without me even asking?
Anywayz, here come my questions ... has anyone ever encountered a situation similar as this? Or heard of people having to pay shipping costs even in countries that have only retail stores? Any advices? Any way I could contact the previous advisor (I only have a name and a id call number)?
Anyone know a official Apple store or a store that deals with Apple Care in the region of Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, Serbia, Croatia, ... and the furthest is obviously Hungary ...?
thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
has anyone ever encountered a situation similar as this?
Yes, it is called "the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing."
Or heard of people having to pay shipping costs even in countries that have only retail stores?
Keep your receipts of the shipping cost. You may need to escalate this to Customer Relations, given your contrary feedback.
Any way I could contact the previous advisor (I only have a name and a id call number)?
That's something, a case number would be better. That's how AppleCare is able to track customer calls. But you can try the id call number.

IPod Touch (2G) TomTom Car Kit Issues

I have an iPod Touch (2G) and have been successfully using the TomTom Car Kit for all my navigation needs for the last 14 months.
Recently, around the same time they announced a "mandatory update to restore GPS signal" on their website, my TomTom app stopped receiving a GPS signal. Now when I contact TomTom support, they tell me that all their kit does is amplify the iPod's internal GPS receiver (???) and that this is an iPod issue. I have reset my iPod and reinstalled the app with no success.
Am I missing something?

There is no GPS circuits on the iPod touch. Period. For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. See:
iOS 5: Understanding Location Services
Therefore what you were told does not sound reasonable for the iPod.
You are using the accessory that does include a GPS receiver, right?

Aux input to car radio issue

I have a Sony radio in my car. And I connected my Xperia Z3 compact into the aux input, using a 3.5mm jack to jack. One side goes into my headphones jack and the other goes into the radio.
And annoyingly, the sound quality is bad. I get popping noises and like whistle sound and cracking noises. And it's driving me nuts because I can't listen to my music in peace.
Sad part about this is that every other device I've tried works fine, just my new Xperia that is having the issue. It was fine with an iPhone 5s and this other samsung phone I had. Which makes zero sense because the radio is also Sony, so it should work perfect with my Sony Xperia.
So frustrating, can anyone help please.

The 5-pole jack is compatible with 3/4-pole accessories (you can for example connect standard headphones without a microphone) but i remember a case where a user had a cable where the size of each pole was different compared to other 3-pole cables which could cause issues. If you hold the 3.5mm plug of these cables next to eachother, does the poles have the same size/placement?
Did you use the same cable when you tried the dock radio?
It could also be that the phone is having issues sensing that it's connected to another device. I'm not sure but i believe this depends on impedance. What happens if you force the output using an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix?

Nokia 3500 classic Blutooth Issue

I bought the handset in last week and but the blutooth is not working, so what will be the problem?

If you are still with in the 21 days to take back the product, then you may do so.

Will there be a update for the iPad 1 that will take care security issues like 7.0.6 did for newer iPads

Can someone answer my question?

The iPad 1 is not afected by the security issue. Hence no update is necessarry. The code that was at the root of the problem was not added to safari until iOS 6. It is not present in iOS 5 which is as high as an original iPad can go.

Ipod Volvo car integration issue

I've just bought a new Volvo car with iPod integration and when i try to play an album the songs are alphabetically ordered instead of the original album order. In iTunes they appear in album order.
Any idea how can I work this out?
Thanks in advance

Well, I don't know any exact solution for this error, but basically you should Restore your iPod to the newest version > 2.0.2. I do strongly suggest restoring, but if you find that hard because of large amounts of content, you should try just Updating.

IOS4.0.1 update causing GM Car Stereo Issues

Hi
Updated to iOS 4.0.1 yesterday. Since the update when i plug my phone into my car via 30 pin connector and USB, my interface on my car loads as normally, however after a few minutes or so, or if i go to change songs, static cuts though and eventually will cut out the music sometimes remaining as ear shattering static or switch to static. At this point the car's UI will be stuck on that song and time elapsed on the song, i can switch to a different source and come back and the static or silence will remain.
On the iPhone 4, the play symbol will still be displayed as well as the album art of the song playing. Nothing has changed since the last time i used the setup except for updating to iOS 4.0.1.
Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Similar problem here. My iPhone 3Gs worked sometimes in my 2010 Suburban when connected by USB cable. Then I updated the iPhone to version 4 and it stopped working completely. When I used the new "Multifunction" app to close all open apps it began to work. However, a week later it has stopped working at all. The "IPod/Aux" does not appear on the radio screen and there is no music menu. The iPhone appears to be charging, but songs play from the iPhone speaker, not the car stereo. Does anyone know of a solution or if GM is working on an update to the firmware in their radio?
(I would post this on a GM forum if there was one.)

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!!!!

Nano in the car - battery issue

Hi All,
Just a month into owning a Nano and loving it. The same time that I bought the iPod I bought an adaptor for my car: "RoadTrip", which runs as a recharger through the cig lighter and also syncs through FM radio so you can hear the music through the car stereo system.
Now, if I do this every day for my fairly short (10-30 minute) trips to work, I'm keeping the battery charged pretty much most of the time. I'm worried I'm going to kill the battery much too soon. I have already planned to do a complete drain once a month based on tips from Apple's website. I just read about the Mitsubishi iCar that has a built-in slot to slide your Nano in and the stereo system does the rest, so maybe I'm worrying too much?
Should I be worried?

Hi Phil,
Apple says that you do not need a full charge each time you plug in, though it does recommend a full discharge at least once a month:
