Have been having issues getting mine and my wife's OP2's to work with my 2015 Toyota Corolla's Entune audio system via bluetooth. This Entune is the basic version NOT the one with all the apps.
Finally got the phonebook & contacts to transfer to the car buy installing Bluetooth Phonebook app on the phones. But trying to setup messaging with the Entune has resulted in a message on the Entune saying it's failed to bring over the messages/mail. I have tried a couple different SMS apps, same result.
Now we had no problems at all when we both had OnePlus One's. Both were running Liquid Smooth's Android 5. So is the issue Oxygen OS?

I'm pretty sure the issue is OOS, yes. I've gone through several different OOS-based ROMs in the past month or so, and none of them have synced contacts or messages to my car stereo.

Hey all,
Recently got my n4 and am currently running cm10 nightlies on it, but today I picked up our new car (Hyundai i30 premium) which has bluetooth built into the audio system and I can't get my n4 to sync with it properly. My partners Desire HD syncs no problems and all her contacts phone book everything shows up fine. My n4 wouldn't even sync originally then I just kept retrying and eventually it synced but nothing really works, music won't play through the speakers (the audio system just sits there waiting for music and nothing happens) my phonebook etc don't show up (after me allowing them permission) I can't even make calls.
I have heard that the n4 has some bluetooth problems but nothing this bad, anyone have any suggestions that I can try? Happy to go to another ROM if that will help??
Thanks,
Hosh
this build has serious BT issues. i can't even find a mouse that works. wait and see what the 4.2.2 update brings.
I own a Hyundai Elantra GT which is the US version of the i30 - I didn't seem to experience any issues when I paired it this morning, but I"ll double check when I get out of work this afternoon that the contact sync is working. I am, however, on the stock rom.
I own a 4 day old Dodge Journey and it pairs with no issue to Uconnect.
Try a different rom?
If thats not it, then its your hardware.
The new bluetooth stack in Android 4.2 is causing a lot of issues. Personally, I don't have any problems connecting to UConnect (Jeep Grand Cherokee) or my SmartMini (bluetooth music streaming).
I am waiting on delivery for my MetaWatch, there have been complaints that 4.2 isn't connecting well with it but I guess we'll see. CM10.1 users don't seem to have as many problems. I'm running Xylon w/ Franco r53.
I had the same problem with Chevrolet captiva until I have installed custom ROM and is working perfect now.I have tried every custom ROM and is OK with all.
I have this problem but there is a way around it (for me anyway).
Download Bluetooth file transfer from the market.
Delete the connections with your car. Both on the phone and your car.
Open Bluetooth file transfer. Select the Bluetooth screen.
Make a connection. The default android Bluetooth will ask for a password. Don't enter it. Instead go to your recent apps and select Bluetooth file transfer. Put the password in the request screen the app supplies.
Bluetooth file transfer should pair the devices and make a connection.
Once done. Kill Bluetooth file transfer as you won't be able to exit.
You can then uninstall Bluetooth file transfer if you want (although I tend to keep it for when I change ROMs or have to do a factory reset etc).
Hope this works for you

Hey all,
Sorry for the late reply, been away for the weekend. Thanks for all the advice, tried them all and no luck. Will try out a mates n4 tomorrow and see if he has any luck syncing with the car, if he does might just flash roms again.
after flashing a new rom, I had problems pairing w/bluetooth and connecting w/wi-fi. I fixed the problem by restoring my system settings w/titanium backup thanks to someone's suggestion.
Seems the only thing that worked for me is when it asks to sync my phonebook I have to say no, if I say yes it seems to freeze the whole thing. Makes me think if I click yes I might just need to give it 10-15 mins to sync, might try that tomorrow. But for the moment at least it's half working!
Hi all. I thought I would look for answer here in addition to the BMW forum.
I can pair and make calls with 2011 BMW.
However, when I accept permission to access phonebook, it attempts to download contacts unsuccessfully, then disconnects after 90 seconds and then reconnects, reattempts the download and the cycle repeats itself. If I deny access to the contacts, the connection remains solid. Unfortunately, I get an annoying connection prompt everytime I restart the car.
The first several times I did this, I permanently allowed access and then realized i had to unpair and start the process over without allowing phonebook access. The Bimmer was behaving so erratically that on a couple occasions when recycling the connection, it actually wiped all previously paired phones from the menu.
The connection is rock solid on Acura with both phonebook and message access.
Using mine on a 2014 BMW without issues here. Perhaps set visibility to always on. This help me with issues on an s4 and my car in the past.

Sounded reasoanable but didn' work. I even updated to BMW's latest software. Well, at least I have a reasoanble chance of full Bluetooth if I segue into a 2014 at the end of my lease.

I didn't have any issues with the F30 rental I had for two weeks. Which infotainment system is in your BMW? Do you have the enhanced Bluetooth with BMW apps? The vehicle I was in had the standard iDrive without BMW apps or enhanced Bluetooth. I did notice it made separate entries in the phonebook for each contact's various numbers(cell, home, work, etc.), which was a bit annoying.
I've noticed in my Miata the Bluetooth connection will remain open, the word "phone" remains on the radio's screen and I can't change to the radio or any other input until I've powered the phone off and on.
With UConnect in the 2014 Grand Cherokee the vehicle would lose pairing with my phone every time I shut the vehicle. A UConnect software upgrade took car of this.

I have the iDrive and updated to the latest Bluetooth software. Behavior is really strange. It asks me first if I want to download messages. If I check no, it usually asks a second time. If I check yes, it uploads messages to iDrive but still doesn't misbehave. If I check yes and also check the ALWAYS box, it usually starts to update the phonebook and that's when the predictable cycle starts of 90 seconds attempting to download the phonebook unsuccessfully, then disconnect and reconnect. And of course, it begins again when I restart the car. The only solution at that time is to unpair, pair again and deny phonebook access.
This is exactly the problem I have with my 2011 BMW 335d with idrive. It could be because the 4.0 Bluetooth on my LG G2 is doesn't want to play nice with the car's older software version. I have tried everything you mentioned and have not had any luck either. I have just learned to press the NO button 6 times every time I start the car, and manually enter names & numbers into the car's phone book that I use frequently.

Same issue here. I however am having the issue on a 2014 Ram with the Uconnect 8.4a infotainment system. It only seems to be an issue with AOSP roms, I've installed several and they all have this issue. I didn't have it with the stock based roms.

When I originally had the problems connecting I was on a stock-based ROM. I was going to try an AOSP ROM when Kat Kat came out, but unfortunately I bricked my LG G2 trying to update. I ended up getting an HTC One (M8) that is still unrooted but the phone pairs and my contacts sync. Although it refuses to recognize the phone for BT music streaming, I'm happy with it's performance so far.
I recently purchased the N6P to replace my dying N4. The transition from one device to the other has gone pretty well, except for one issue. My N6P is unable to find the bluetooth signal from my Ford Fusion. Upon turning on bluetooth and searching for devices, the N6P cannot find the Ford Sync signal. I've rebooted the phone many times, Ive tried it many times in safe mode with no success, Ive turned the Sync's bluetooth on and off numerous times, the phone is still unable to detect it. I have also tried deleting all the paired devices on the Sync settings and had no luck with the N6P working. Aside from a factory reset of the phone, what else can I do?
My N4 was able to connect to the Sync right up to when I stopped using it. My fiancee's Samsung Galaxy (something) can detect, connect, and function with the Sync's bluetooth. I am beginning to think its something with the N6P. Ive tried it on all three versions of the OS Ive had on the phone. The original OS version didn't work when I first powered up the N6P, the next version of the OS i updated to didn't work, and this morning the phone ran the latest update and the bluetooth doesnt work.
I'm at a loss, I'm ready to return this phone and go back to my dying N4.
Edit: I am currently running Android 6.0.1.
My wife's N5x has the same problem with our ford sync, I think its related to the bluetooth disconnection bug I've had since the may update.
You can still connect it by opening the bluetooth screen on your phone so that it is visible to other devices and in the sync setup tell sync to search for devices and select your nexus phone.
My wife and I both own Nexus 6p's. I just bought a brand new Ford F-150 and my wife has a 2014 Toyota mini van (forget the model name off the top of my head, but still a fairly new vehicle). Neither one of our Nexus 6p's will connect to with vehicle. Prior to our Nexus 6p's (which I really had to talk my wife in to getting a Nexus 6p) our LG G4 and Note 5 connected flawlessly. I even bought a Bluetooth thing that plugs in to my trucks aux and that works after turning the Bluetooth on and off a few times. Totally freaking unacceptable. We both have Nexus Protect on both devices, but don't think a new Nexus 6p will fix the issue. No problem at all with Google maps other than audio coming through my brand new trucks speakers. Smh. Both of our phones are not rooted or changed in anyway. Out of the box stock.

Confirm working in Nissan Frontier. Wonder why its certain auto manufacturers?
Works in 2014 Toyota Camry.
Mine works with zero problems in my '13 Fusion Ti. I also have a bluetooth adapter for torque plugged in with no hiccups. Is your sync software up to date?
Mine detects fine , but once connected I loose all system sound. i.e I can't hear map prompts anymore. Anyone knows a fix for this ?

I can verify that I have this experience as well in one of my cars with an aftermarket bluetooth Sony head unit (that supports A2DP streaming). Haven't checked in the Nissan yet (no A2DP), but I will tonight.
Bluetooth on this model sure has some "quirks".....
I have a 2015 fusion Ti & N6P I have had zero issues. however i will say my bluetooth connection is much more stable after updating SYNC to the latest version. Bit of a pain because you have to create a ford account to gain access to the instructions/files. but here is the URL to get you started: https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date.html
I also have a Ford Fusion 2015 and I have no problems connecting to SYNC. It also connects just fine with my wife's Ford Escape. Which month's build are you using? Is your radio up to date? I don't think I've ever updated the SYNC software in either vehicle so I'm not sure it's that. Make sure BT is on and you have the BT page in settings open so that both devices can see each other. Then go into the car's phone menu and add a device. That's how I did it. Make sure the vehicle is not moving or preferably in park. Good luck.
It magically connected right after I posted above. Now I'm afraid to install the June security patch lol. Working flawlessly in my F-150 though.

I am having problem with my LG V20 tmobile version 918. I am unable to sync the BT phonebook with the car. Other phones don't have this problem, but my phone also worked with another car. I did manage to sync the phonebook once after I forced stopped both Bluetooth activities and cleared data/cashe. But it doesn't work any longer.
I purchased phone with 10k installed and yesterday I had it downgraded to 10j. Still no go. I have tried a fair number of things based on online discussions (copy contacts to phone - display only the phone contacts, bluetooth file transfer app) but no success. Any ideas how to deal with this problem?
Bluetooth phonebook seems to do the trick. I may end up rooting the phone to try different kernels to get the phonebook work correctly. Quiet frankly that would be the only reason to root as Immersive view is part of Nougat now (no longer need to have xposed). Any other solutions would be welcomed though... I hate to rely on app to get basic functionality.
Greetings,
my father owns a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE (hlte) and we've flashed Lineage OS 14.1 some months ago. The device runs great, but he has issues with the bluetooth car connection.
What works:
connecting the device via BT to his car
playing audio
receiving calls (and probably making calls)
copy phone book (by exporting the contacts list and share the .vcf file via BT)
What does not work:
accessing contacts on the smartphone (without copying them)
incoming calls do not show the callers name in the car display, only the phone number
We've tested everything with two car audio devices of different manufacturers, both of them are unable to access the phone contacts. If I'm hooking up my Pixel (stock Android 9) everything works great, so the problem is clearly caused by LineageOS on the Note 3.
Is this a known bug and is there any way to solve it?
Current installed LOS version is: lineage-14.1-20181209-nightly-hlte-signed
Thanks in advance!
Yes if you read BT has bugs .
FLASH STOCK ROM FOR WORKING BT.
Devs are working on it long time.
