I have my Nexus 7 installed in my car and I'm trying to get it to auto connect to my head unit. I've tried different apps, Tasker, and different settings and I believe the issue is because its a "media only" bluetooth device. Is there a way to add the "Phone Profile" like I have on my GNex to the Nexus 7?
I believe tablet talk has an option. I'll check and post A screenie

Thanks for the tip...I'll give it a shot. Hopefully this gives me the Phone profile in the Bluetooth settings.
Doesn't look like Tablet Talk will give the Nexus 7 the Phone Profile in the default bluetooth settings. Any other ideas?
Not really sure I don't have a Bluetooth headset. I just seen that in the settings.

You could try adding these services in the terminal:
Code:
% sdptool add HS
Headset service registered
% sdptool add HF
Handsfree service registered
% sdptool add HFAG
Handsfree AG service registered
You can also try to change the device class to "Phone, Smart phone":
Code:
% hciconfig hci0 class 0x5a020c
None of these changes will be visible in the GUI, but they might convince your car kit that it wants to auto connect. If it works, you can run these commands with Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin.

I'm having the same issue like the OP. I have android 4.2.1 and I can't find sdptool in system/bin/
I'm looking to do something similar here, and I know this topic has come up before. I want the N7 to act as a bluetooth "headset" for my N4 for a car install. It definitely lacks a phone profile.
Mega props if anyone figures out how to do that well.
YES!

Finally, others who know my pain! It is really frustrating because I am trying to have my Nexus 7 basically stand in for my head unit. Its pretty annoying if you have to set it up each and every time you get in and out of the car though. I'm on the verge of returning the JVC unless someone has made some headway.
Edit - tried sdptool from the command prompt and it did not work. Tried before and after rebooting. Working to find out more about hciconfig. This doesn't work right away from the command prompt. Time to thread crawl some more.
AW: Can the Nexus 7 be recognized as a bluetooth phone device?
sdptool and hciconfig are parts of the "old" Bluetooth stack Bluez. With Android 4.2 a new Bluetooth stack by Broadcom has been introduced, and I guess the old Bluez commands don't work anymore. And nobody confirmed that these commands were even helpful in this situation.
Count me among those who desparately want the N7 to auto connect to my car radio.

Hi folks,
I upgraded my Hermes with Schap's Windows Mobile 6 ROM. Works fine so far. But when I try to use my Bluetooth GPS it acts strange.
I paired the Bluetooth device and set up a COM-port for the applications. The first time it works. The next time, when I switch on Bluetooth and start for example TomTom, the Hermes tells me there is a new Bluetooth device that wants to connect. I checked and found out the GPS is still in the list of known Bluetooth devices and the COM-port is set. But the assistant is still bugging until I add the "new" device. After that of course my "old" device is gone.
How can I avoid this? Anyone experiencing the same problem?
I have the same issue, really annoying so would love to know the answer

On your Hermes:
Have you tried to checked off: "Make this device visible to other devices"?
Under: Start\Settings\Connections\Bluetooth\Mode (2nd tab on the bottom)
Option #1 (Hermes)
~If, "Make this device visible to other devices is not enabled, delete the pairing for your GPS.
~Check off "Make this device visible to other devices"
~Pair your GPS again (ensure that "Make this device visible to other devices" is still enabled)
Option #2 (GPS)
Don't know what kind of settings for bluetooth you may have on your GPS. I found for my car stereo, that I needed to leave it, in the "waiting/open for connection mode.
Now when I turn the car on it automatically connects the phone and stereo off my Hermes.
What I'm basically saying here is there may be a setting to leave your GPS automatically open for bluetooth connections?
I think option #1 may do the trick....
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If your concerned about Security you can always change the Pairing codes.
and or turn off bluetooth when not needed.
I'm unaware of any cases where one can connect unless there paired, so in most cases access needs to be allowed on both ends, usually needing pairing codes. Even if it is one way, an approval code will still be needed.
What I found is this, if you want automatic connecting with one way pairing codes i.e. (Car Stereo to PDA or GPS to PDA) You'll need to allow "make device visible" checked off. The usual cause is a memory storing issue with the GPS or Car Stereo. I know that on high end Stereo's and GPS's they have on board memory which will save connection settings, where you'd put pairing codes on both ends and it will save the settings, thus negating the need to leave visible.
Don't know if I answered your question?
Hope I was able to shed some light on the subject....
Good Luck!
Hi,
Has anyone had issue trying to pair Nexus One (2.3.3) Stock to the Mercedes BT Command system?
For some reason, the car and phone can't find each other.
Let me know if there's a solution?
Cheers!
this should likely help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12774840&postcount=23
good luck!
I've always had this issue on MB bluetooth.
If you haven't, try this way:
On your command system go to phone, options or other options, "external autorisation".
When it's ready, search devices on your phone, you should find MB bluetooth
i have no problem to pair my nexus with my command ntg4.

Any ideas on how to get this thing to pair with a bluetooth device that doesn't have a pin? I get a request for a passkey/pin during pairing and the OK button is disabled until a character is entered. The normal defaults don't work (0000, ETC) since the device doesn't require a pin. It works perfectly with my Rezound running ViperRez, and Windows, etc.
Not sure you can. That's a security feature of BT. Even if you could somehow alter the BT stack on the tablet, the other device would still need a pin to finish pairing. I suspect the other device DOES have a pin, and you'll need to figure out what it is. If it is a popular device, surely someone else has done the research for you and you can find it online. I know I have a BT GPS unit that didn't use any default PIN that I knew and after scouring for this obscure device I found a similar one using the same chip set and discovered the PIN in the other device's manual.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can find a device with a similar chipset. It's a targus mouse and this nexus is the only thing that has ever asked for a pin, and the manual doesn't specify one and support verified this. ICS devices hadn't been asking for one either.
As a suggestion, the Motorola Elite Sliver can pair via NFC.

Necroreplying for posterity: bluetooth supports pinless pairing, but android doesn't. There's two android bugs for this, 26049 and 52549.
Every time my car connects via Bluetooth I get a window and notification sound on my Note3 that asks me if I want to make my device discoverable or something along those lines. My car successfully connects but I have to click cancel on this window every time. Does anyone know how to disable this?
Thanks

The pop up refers to whether or not you wish to share your contacts and other files from the device with your audio systems capabilities. There is a radio dialog you can click on so it will accept your initial answer and no longer prompt.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, however this pop up has nothing to do with sharing contacts. It lists my phone on top with a check box to make it discoverable. And it shows my connected car audio system below. If I tap the lower entry it will ask me if I want to disconnect from my car. If I tap the other one it puts my phone into discoverable mode for 2 minutes. The problem is the phone is already connected.

Strange... The only thing I could suggest would be to look at your BT settings on the device. Maybe some type of menu item has been selected thus causing this popup to occur. The only other method is to delete the paired device from your vehicle's BT system and add it again in case some type of glitch happened during the discovery and pairing process.
Hope this helps!

I get this too, but it's with my Motorola headset, not a car device. I just hit cancel. Sure would be nice if it would stop doing that.
Same here with my car's bt. I just hit "home" every time...

Well, I too get this window when I connect to my bt speakers at work and furthermore I'm not sure why I have to always physically connect. on my nexus as soon as I turned on bluetooth it would automatically connect.
I've been using the Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for the last year with my Nexus 4.
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-BlackBerry-Smartphones/dp/B004CLYJ2I
For the most part it has worked great. However, my new Note 3 will not connect automatically to the device, I always have to turn the screen on and select the bluetooth device to connect to it. My Nexus 4 would simply connect to it automatically if the bluetooth was switched on.
Any ideas?

I had similar issues with my bluetooth headset. When I would press the connect button on my bluetooth it wouldn't automatically connect, and the only solution I found was re-arranging my quick toggles in the notification bar so when I pull it down I can quickly access bluetooth settings and devices.
Yep am having problems with note 3 bluetooth. For a top of range phone, this bluetooth is crap. 2 headsets works when it wants and 6 works wagons only works in some! Am surprised no one else as commented on the bluetooth

I had the same issue that my N3 didn't connect automatically to my BT-devices. I stumbled over a thread where I found some one else having the same issue who recommended the app "Bluetooth auto connect". I downloaded the app and now it just works. If you have the BT-scan dialog enabled, you see how it switches between the different paired devices in the list until it locks on to the one that's in range.
If you don't like that dialog, you can disable it using wanam (I think). Hope this helps.

Not for me. But I may not be the average user. I'm getting 3 days of battery life out of my N3. I only turn wireless (3g / wifi) on when I need it and do the same with BT. But I found it really inconvenient to have to select my connected BT device. For switching BT on and off, I use tasker. I have a setting that checks for the music app of my choice, and when I start it and have no headphones connected, tasker turns on BT.
