When I connect to the car stereo, I set it to phone only, not media and it works fine, ouputting the sat nav voice via the phone. When I reconnect, it again connects both phone and media. It's driving me mad, any ideas?

I connect to my Parrot MKI9200 car kit and have no issues like this, it always connects for phone and voice from CoPilot comes out of the phone. I haven't changed any settings
That's interesting - does the parrot support music streaming? Could you check the settings of the connection please? If you tap and hold where it says Parrot, it shows which services are connected.

Just checked... The only part that is ticked is phone. Media is not ticked. As I don't stream media from my phone to my car kit, I don't want this ticked. If I tick the box, CoPilot alerts actually come out of the car speakers.

Yours works the way I want mine to. For some reason though, even if I turn off media, the next time it connects it will connect both media and phone. Weird.
Again, thanks for your help. I'd really like to find a solution to this, it's really annoying.
One thought - is yours a sim free one, T-Mobile or Orange? Mine is T-Mobile.

Mines sim free. What Car Kit do you have? Might be something to do with that?

It's an Alpine 400bt, which is an add-on unit for Alpine stereo's, in my case a 9887r. The bluetooth unit is actually made by Parrot I believe.
It could be something to do with it, however it used to be OK using Windows Mobile.
another bluetooth question
I see you guys mentioning some bluetooth settings in the posts above - where are they found?
I have a problem that once connected to my car phone system by BT, the keypad in the car stops working which means I can't respond to voicemail etc. My other phone is a Touch HD which works fine.
Are there settings to select different profiles like you can with Win Mo?
I'm new to Android and all I can find are the HTC settings under Settings\Wireless Controls\Bluetooth Settings but these don't help
Thanks in advance
Edit: just reread and see I need to tap and hold the connection, so I'll try this later...

hi there,
i have a o2 xda mini s 2 and a parrot ck3200 in my car. its all perfect when connected, phone book, calling etc etc. However, when i start the car i have to go to settings, bluetooth, and click set as head set to get the phone to pair with the parrot. If anyone could tell me how i could set it to pair automatically once i get into the car it would be great.
thanks

I'm glad you solved this. Basically the little program is helping bluetooth with pairing phone with other devices, also is adding signal strength bar and provider name.
I have a Sony BT2500 bluetooth headunit in my car and I paired my Touch to it without any problems. The only issue I am having is that when I get back into the car it automatically re-connects the phone BT function but will not automatically reconnect the BT Stereo/AD2P function. Is there are way I can set it so that it will auto connect both?

I saw this on another forum, the op stated that if you press the number 6 on the head unit it will cause your bt-2500 to activate the bt audio connection with your touch. I haven't tried it yet, but will when I get home. I've always had to go into BT settings on the touch and hit refresh so I hope this works.

I made the same mistake. For six months I though it was not compatible according to some of the reviews. Then one day, out of boredom, I read the manual. Yes, I supposed to press number 6 when I get in the car. There is the saying "Read the f* manual". Amazingly how many time I found this true.
Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but every time I turn on my bluetooth headset, I need to pair it. Have never had this issue with any of my other phones. Any ideas? My phone is stock, rooted with tethering hacked. I have disabled some bloatware, but nothing related to bluetooth or connectivity. Is it possible bluetooth is somehow connected to some stock LG Bloatware I am not aware of? thanks all!
I too experiened the same problem a while back till I installed "bluetooth auto connect" (free from google play store).
Hope this info is helpful to you.

Help paring will not connect to audio just phone works.
My LG G2 will not stream music to my car. The phone Bluetooth works just fine. When I move to connect to the media streaming the car say no Bluetooth audio device connected. The car is a Mercedes E 350 2010. I had a nexus 4 also an LG phone and I had no issues streaming. I am aware of the menu that you can get to check the boxes for phone audio and media audio. I have tried every option I can think of with no luck yet. So far I unpaired the device, I factory rest the phone all to no avail. When I attempt to pair just the Bluetooth media to the car the car asks me to up in the pass code and I do then the phone asks for the same code. This lets me know that the 2 devices are communicating. Once I have entered the pass code the car says connecting….. then is says connection to Bluetooth media device unsuccessful called LG T-Mobile and Mercedes and not one of them has any idea that was helpful or I had not tried yet. . I am rooted but running stock. Have 2 headsets that both work fine streaming music. Any ideas would help.

Tried resetting the car radio? My alpine will only store info for 3 devices then it will ask for that code and won't connect until at least one spot is cleared.

Not a bad idea. It is a stock system so I will look up how to reset if that's an option.

If you can't figure out how to reset radio, disconnect your car battery for a minute then hook it back up, should clear its memory

Problem solved. Both my Ipad and LG G2 needed the set up to be requested from the car. You must use the cars external authorization set up process not the normal way you sync your phone to make calls.
Watch this video if you need further instructions

Ok so I have a 4.4.4 Pumpkin head unit and all stock so far.
I have a ROMed Galaxy S4, I have only a bluetooth connection in the car between the two devices.
I would like to somehow get the SMS on the phone and also be able to read it on the car head unit and respond via head unit?
Which app would suffice?
Would I need to have other connection between the two devices, if so which one?
Thanks
Try "Yaata" on your phone, it has a setting where it can read out the text messages when hooked up to Bluetooth which means hooked up to your car head unit it will actually say everything that comes in
With my back to the rise I'll make my stand

I believe this would require you to have the bluetooth app loaded and running to hear it, but I might be wrong.
I solved this problem with Pushbullet, but it requires some sort of tethered internet connection .

Did you have to use the older version of Pushbullet, or does the new one have android notification mirroring?

I only started using it recently but the version in Google Play does notification mirroring. It works very well.

I upgraded back to the full version, and don't see that option. Is that just in the pro version?
In my version 17.7.9, (called "Pushbullet - SMS on PC" in the store,) if I click the 'hamburger' menu, then click SMS, I am presented with some option switches which include 1) "SMS Sync" and 2) "Show SMS notifications from other devices on this device." Enable both on your phone, then do the same on your head unit.
Tablet Talk would do exactly this. I use it to do this exact thing over bluetooth between my phone and my tablet so I can respond to SMS, etc without taking my phone out and just using my tablet.

That looks very promising, gonna check it out. I'd rather not rely on tethering and cloud services.
Hello. I bought from AliExpress android headunit for audi a6. In main manu it have "phone" and there I am able to connect phone for calls and music play. I wanted to connect obd2 bluetooth adapter to this android unit but cannot enable bluetooth at all. It has system settings, under that there is android settings. And those are classic tablet settings for Android. There is Bluetooth option, but when I try to enable it, it refuses. Like factory disabled that.
Is there any way to acrivate that Bluetooth like on normal phone or tablet android?
Activate Developer options, check your settings there. Network reset. Clear system cache.

I will try that. Do You think that it has Bluetooth like any other tablet, just restricted by software? Seller told me that doesn't support obd2, only for phone connection.
Cannot turn it on. Video attached
Found bluetooth config and switches to BT transfer. (Was BT phone). Now it works
I have the same issue. Can you tell me exactly how you fixed it. How did you get to Bluetooth config. I may have gotten to it, but I see bt phone or bt audio emission. I'm also trying to connect a bluetooth ObdEleven

Hello. It was long time ago, I forgot how exactly I came to settings. But, goal is to switch from BT phone to BT transfer. Now I can connect OBD bluetooth adapter.
