Hi
I have the most recent Cyanogen updated software and rooted my phone.
Furthermore I recently purchased a brand new Ford Fiesta on Friday with Bluetooth stereo.
The phone connects for calls but does not for the bluetooth stereo as I am trying to use the new spotify app. Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul
Open your Settings, then navigate to Wireless Controls > Bluetooth Settings. Long press on your car's entry under Bluetooth devices and select Options. Under Profiles, make sure the Media option is checked.
reflash the radio. I had the same problem.

Hi! I need an help from you! Do you Know a tricks, shortcut or software that directly start up the bluetooth earphone like wireless stereo device? I each time would like play music via bluetooth must activate the bluetooth, go to comm manager, bluetooth settings, device, tap&hold on the device and tap setup wireless stereo!
Tnx
Stefano
isnt there anyone?
Well on my BlueAnt X5 buletooth stereo headset I just turn on the head set and then press the power button again and it automatically connects straight up. Maybe u have a connect button somewhere on your headset too.
Of course this is after setting up the pairing when I first bought it... and with bluetooth swithed on.
I have two Bluetooth headsets that I use.
My Jawbone for when I'm walking around and my integrated car one.
If I am on a call on my Jawbone and I get in the car it (obviously) does not switch. I need to go into Bluetooth settings and choose Set Hands-Free.
I am wondering if there is a little problem which can go at the bottom of the start menu that will allow me to swap bluetooth receivers without having to go into Comm Manager / Bluetooth?
Thank you!
When i pair my phone to my bluetooth car radio i get handsfree and bluetooth stereo working. when i turn off the radio and put it back on, the handsfree function is still available but no more bluetooth stereo.... si when i want to listen to my mp3's on the phone, i have to pair it each time again.
i work with the standard shipped rom and i got the options in the comm manager set to "handsfree" and "bluetooth stereo"
any help would be appreciated!
Ok, found the solution....
it seems if you go to bluetooth settings, press long on the paired device, it brings up a menu where you can "set as wireless stereo". in that way it stays as handsfree and wireless stereo!
I use my Hero in the car for sat nav, using Copilot. I also connect it via bluetooth to the stereo to give me hands-free calling.
The problem I have is that when I do, the sat nav voice doesn't come out of the speaker of the phone, but is routed to the stereo. I can hear it when I select bluetooth as the source on the stereo, but this means that I can't listen to the radio/CD/ipod and hear the sat nav directions.
I used to have exactly the same issue using TomTom on Windows Mobile, however there was an option there when it connected to the stereo to only use it as a headset, not for wireless music. I can't seem to find this option on the Hero.
There is also the known issue that the Hero doesn't support transfer of contacts over bluetooth - that's annoying but I can live with it, however the problem above is a real pain. Any ideas?
Think I found it - once you have paired a device, click and hold it under Bluetooth settings, then you have the option media - unclick this and all should be well! Still need to test it though.
Another method,
On my bluetooth car stereo I can "discnct Audio" seperately from "discnct Handsfree" and "discnct Phone"
Just FYI.
Everytime My Galaxy S5 (G900F) is connected to my inbuilt BT handsfree in my car (Skoda Octavia) music player is turned on automatically and it starts to play music. (I cannot hear music because car audio has selected Radio mode not BT audio)
Do you know how to disable it please?
It is not possible to disable it in settings of BT, Music Player, Car Mode, Sounds. I dont want to disable BT audio at all, because I sometimes use it.
Thanks
Michal
This maybe something to do with your car kit or settings? I don't have that problem when connecting to my factory fitted car kit.
Try the "places" setting in "location settings" and use the BT connection to tell the phone you are in the car.
Places were already done - Car via BT connection as you suggested. Not solved

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry for my poor english, once connected go to bluetooth settings and select the option of your connected car (the gear symbol on the right) once there uncheck the multimedia option.
No problem, but I know about this option. As I wrote "I dont want to disable BT audio" because I sometimes use it There must be another way to disable it
