I have been using AA in my Civic with a Nexus 5 for about a year now. I got a Nokia 6 yesterday, and today when I tried plugging it in to my car.... Nothing.
The AA app launches in standalone mode, but no luck with the car.
Anyone else tried the Nokia 6 with AA in a car?
Had similar problems with Nokia 6 & Honda accord 2016
My Honda accord 2016 was working fine with iPhone.
Yesterday got new Nokia 6 and tried connect via Android auto is not working. Tried to change the data cables still no luck. Please help

I contacted Nokia support via web chat.
tl;dr: They don't see it as a problem with the phone.
Here was the conversation:

Hi! How can we help you today with your Nokia phone or accessory?
Hi I just bought a Nokia 6 Amazon phone. Iamd very happy, except I cannot get it to work with Android Auto in my car.

Hello, thank you for contacting Nokia Mobile Care
You're welcome

When you try to connect the phone with you cat, what happens exactly?
It just charges. AA does not get started.
I had a Nexus 5 before this, and it worked perfectly with AA.

What is AA?
Android Auto

Is it your AA up to date?
Yes

I hope this information should be useful for you: https://support.google.com/androidauto/answer/6348029?hl=en-GB
Yes I have tried that.
13m ago
Did you download the Android Auto app?
The app works fine in standalone mode, but it should connect to the car's infotainment system when plugged in.
12m ago
What happens when you try to connect the phone in your car?
The phone starts charging, but that is all.

For this issue, please contact the Android support, because this is a issue between Android operative systems
https://support.google.com/android/?hl=en-GB#topic=7313011
That is disappointing. I will be returning the Nokia 6.
7m ago
One moment please
Please check the compatibility list of the devices for your car
You can also contact with the support for your car
What does that mean? AA is a standard, such that if the car supports it and the phone supports it they should work together.
Is there a higher level of tech support available?

We are Nokia Mobile Care
You are just trying to send me somewhere else.

But we don't support issues with Android Auto
Hmmm... That is terrible customer support.
Good luck selling phones that don;t support Android standards.

Same Issue on Honda Civic AA not working with Nokia 6
Please help my Nokia 6 failed to connect AA on my Civic. swapped cables etc.. and other android phone's works on the same car.
I am having the same issue on a Honda CR-V 2017 model. My old Motorola G phone works well and this phone is not getting recognized at all.
Issues with Nokia 6 while connecting to AA
I had the same issue with Nokia6 and Accord's AA. It did pick AA couple of times, when the USB plugin options pop up on phone:
Then choosing " USE THIS DEVICE AS MIDI" let me get on to AA. It worked fine for that single time and again back to same problem.
This is working only when my phone detects the cable as USB. I tried using multiple cables but no luck.
I am wondering if there is any setting on phone where I can choose the USB cable default option as MIDI...
Maybe it will help you too, but i had the same problem with my nokia 6 to connect with AA to my ford.
First I try some cable to connect with my laptop. The moment i could see the data from my nokia on my laptop, i know i have a data cable and not a charging cable.
With this data cable i connect my nokia 6 to my ford.
Also i read on some forum about debugging USB on a nokia.
"enableusbdebugging.com/2017/01/enable-usb-debugging-nokia-6.html
I follow this url and debugged my nokia
After that i connect my nokia with AA to my ford and it worked all perfect.
But next day i try connect my nokia with my ford, it did not work anymore:crying:

My car is a Nokia 616 bluetooth phone. Nokia 6 united easily. Similarly, Jolla Sailfish did not succeed. (Switching on as a bluetooth device).
Adventurer J from Finland
Same here. Nokia 6 TA-1021 and Kia Optima. Phone just goes into the charging mode, and that's it. Every other phone works perfectly. Still can't find a solution.
Nokia 6 Android auto compatibility issues solved !
For those who are having problems with Nokia 6 not being able to connect to the car head unit using Android auto, below is the solution: 1. Please ensure all the relevant softwares are up to date 2. Use a high quality USB cable. Amazon basics. Sony. Ivoltaa cables are good enough. 3. Turn on USB debugging on your phone. 4. Go to settings - battery - battery activity manager - turn on Android auto & maps from the list below. 5 . Reboot the device and you are good to go.
Yeah same here.. I tried connecting my Nokia 6 to Hyundai i30 2017.. nothing happens.

There's another problem with the Nokia 6 and bluetooth music.
For a lot of users it will connect, but there's no audio coming through. Calls will work, but no music.
Nokia fails to officially acknowledge the problem and will give you a tedious runaround before halfheartedly admitting to the problem. Without giving any promise on a fix.

Yeah that exactly same happens here aswell.. I thought its some kind of bug in Android Oreo beta. It connects the bluetooth but as a phone device but not a media device.
So only calls work though bluetooth but no music. I restart my device to get it working.

Having problems with my Droid X and car system connecting via Bluetooth.
Random problems:
Often fails to connect at all, other times connects fine or partial.
Transfers the phonbook sometimes and other times it does not.
Connects the audio fine and not the Hands Free.
Sometimes I need to re-pair the entire setup to get it to work at all.
Sometimes I need to power both the phone and receiver down and back up to get it to work.
Does anyone have any ideas on a solution?
It's driving me crazy, want to use the Bluetooth both for the Hands Free and audio streaming.
Droid X, Android Version 2.2.1, System Version Verizon.2.3.340.MBB810.Verizon.en.US
Car System:
Kenwood KDC-X994, built in Bluetooth.
Bluetooth version 3.12.0
My wife's iPhone works fine with this receiver using the Bluetooth.
Thanks
Sorry, my DX connects every time I get in my car (Ford Sync system). Have you tried connecting it to other Bluetooth devices to see if it's maybe the phone itself?
No I have not tried it with another system.
An excellent idea but at this time I do not have access to another receiver with Bluetooth.
Did get an answer from Kenwood that it was not tested with the Droid X but was tested with the Droid.
Wonder if it could be a phone or receiver problem. I need to come up with a way of testing both units on a continuous basis.
The last two days it has connected just fine, but Friday evening it was giving problems.
Thanks for your help.
You can try finding a little cheapo Bluetooth USB receiver from a local store, use it with your laptop or PC, and try pairing your phone with it. Then after you're done testing just return it (make sure there's an open box return policy though!).

Thanks,
I will give that a try, maybe this weekend if I get time.
i have the same phone and Kenwood radio. What I needed to do was this:
Delete any bluetooth devices in the Kenwood radio.
Delete the paired Kenwood device in your phone.
Make the Kenwood discoverable, scan for it with the phone. Once the phone finds the Kenwood pair with it. When the Kenwood requests PBAP access, click allow ONE TIME ONLY. This is the key. I saw the Kenwood send the request several times. If I confirmed the request more than once, the unit acted flaky. Hopefully this will fix your issue. It did for me!
I will give that a try.
The Kenwood does download the phone book everytime it connects.
Sometimes it says completed very quickly and then the HF fails.
Other times it will neve finish downloading.
Thanks
The vast majority of car stereos that support Bluetooth A2DP are notoriously fickle with it. I went to a Car Toys last July after getting my Droid X, and tested literally about 20 different car stereos with playing music over Bluetooth. Half of them would not even pair, most of the rest had various problems like wouldn't play music or it skipped/cut out a lot, etc. Only three manufacturers had multiple units that worked flawlessly: Pioneer, Clarion and Parrot. I asked one of the guys there if this was normal, and he said yeah, A2DP was very poorly supported in most car stereos but that he knew some of the manufacturers were working on making it better for the next year's models.
This doesn't help you, but even though your wife's iPhone works and your DX doesn't, it's unlikely the problem is with your DX.
Roland,
Thanks for the info. Interesting there are so many problems with car stereos.
I will definitely keep this in mind the next time I buy a car stereo.
One interesting item is I rented a Ford Escape for a week and my Droid X worked flawlessly with the Ford factory stereo.
Go figure. It was the high end factory unit, Sat radio, USB port, Bluetooth all built in.
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 have 3 main devices that I pair to my phone via bluetooth: watch/lg tone/car
The watch stays paired with no issues, but the watch is having issues swapping from the lg tones to the car and vice versa.
Anyone found a remedy for this?
As of now, I have to go into the bluetooth settings of the one I don't want to use and deselect media/phone, then go to the other and select media/phone. And even sometimes this takes multiple times to work.
My previous phone (gs7) had no issues swapping from the two.
Hi,
Did you get a solution ? I face the same problem and can't find any solution...
Just to clarify, when you are in your car and want to connect to it, the headphones are turned off, correct?
Having similar issues... Every time I try to connect to my car (stock Subaru WRX), I have to manually connect and it takes several attempts before it connects. Once it connects it usually doesn't drop though. Very frustrating...

It's not in my car but with the bluetooth device of my motorcycle helmet. The reference is ncom bluetooth kit 3. I have to connect it manually and it takes several attempts before it connects. Sometimes it doesn't connect at all....
I have 2 headset Plantronics Backbeat Pro and Plantronics Backbeat Fit. They both work flawlessly
My Huawei Watch also works.
But my Nokia 616 Car kit wont connect at all.
And my motorcycle hemlet bluetooth kit, Cardo scala rider PACKTALK, connects, but the audio is slowed down to about 80 percent?
Same thing here.
I have been facing problems with a Sony SBH52 Headset and with my Opel Corsa E, stock infotainment system.
It gives me a hard time connecting but when it does it's stable.
I had the same with my gen 1 Moto 360 but after a factory reset to the watch and a reboot it's stable.

Ahem, I seem to be unable to find bluetooth in my app settings. Can you please give me a hint?
It's been driving me crazy these days with my SBH-52 and I want to try this too.
Thanks!
P.S.
I'll also give it a shot with a plantronics pro headset I have to see if it does the same.
Bluetooth profiles implementations, even though they passed certification, are not always made equal! So don't end up pulling your hair if a certain BT device doesn't play nice with another.
Just as an example... Head Unit X had big issues with the initial contacts sync, right after pairing with Samsung phones (already known to sometimes play around some other standards). It would only work after several reconnects. After several weeks of debugging (poor development guys) and reproduction test (poor testing guys) it was concluded that it is a phone issue caused by some wrong timing delays in the process of exchanging information between the HU and the phone. Samsung was informed and the ticket was internally closed.
I have similar problem with Bluetooth Earbuds. Phone simple doesn't "see" the Earbuds. But strange - it can see other Bluetooth devices and other devices can see Earbuds.
I'm sure this is a OnePlus 5 software problem.
Version OxygenOS 4.5.10
i have somhow issue as urs, i have Bluetooth pad lock and android watch, it sometimes connected and sometimes not, i do believe its software issue, im on 4.5.11
Yes, it is strange. After some restarts and on/offs connection suddenly appears
Hi,
Have an H870 with latest Firmware 10n and Android Auto is not workin with it properly.... Have had a lot of phones working with android auto in my car like Oneplus 3/3t/5 but the g6 will not work, It connects to my headunit via usb, but after a while it gets disconnected and the It will not reconnect since I replug the usb.... anyone have a clue what is the issue. The G6 is a nice Phone but without working android auto I cannot go with it..... Car is a 2015 VW Golf.....Please help...
In my case Android Auto doesn't even connect...
Opel Astra 2017.. G6 h870.
All phones I had before did worked...
Nice to hear that I'm not the only one..... But for me that's the dealbreaker..... What a bummer..... The phone itself is really nice for the money......
Works fine here with V10l-EUR-XX. Didn't get 10n yet and based on your experience I'll skip it unless there is someone for whom it works. I assume you tried to reinstall the app? Have you reported it to LG/Android Auto community forum?
I'm on v10t and after I connect to my car (VW) my G6 keeps reconnecting randomly...sometimes even every few seconds. I have already tried different cables, reinstalling Android Auto, restoring original google play services etc. I've even made factory reset and it appeared fine at first but after a few days it is dropping connection again. Can't figure out what could be causing this.
If anyone is using AA on VW group car with G6 on v10t and it is stable - please give me a shout, thanks!
Using my LG G6 on the latest firmware and it used to do the same to my Vauxhall Corsa 2017(Opel in other countries).
The only workaround I had was using an Anker a7512 4 port USB 3.0 hub with Gigabit Ethernet.
I used the USB C cable I had off my Nexus 6p and plugged in through the hub, Never had a connection issue since but it's a bit of a shabby workaround.
In my opinion, I think it may be a voltage issue, but correct me if I'm wrong!
*EDIT* using V10t-EUR-XX

Also brand new Opel (Vauxhall) Astra with intellilink 4.0 and a brand new LG G6... AA works rarely and for unpredictable time. Usually I have to "Forget all the cars" in AA to make it work, but even that is 50-50% chance
Nexus 6p didn't have any issues with Astra before. Also I've tried Samsung J5 and it works flawlessly - with the SAME original LG USB-C cable! This is really frustrating and I hope someone has a solution...
Did you find a solution (since we both have same care and same phone)?
Cheers!

I have an Atoto S8, and this is my first Android powered head unit (coming from their linux-based F7, which was more of an appliance UI instead of a smart OS). I love the extra functionality it gives me, running apps and video players directly on the unit. But Bluetooth support is wonky.
My wife and I share the car, and ever since swapping to the Android powered unit, it only reconnects to whoever drove last. So if I drive the car all the time, its fine. But when my wife drives, she says bluetooth isn't working, so I have to go into settings on the BT app (BT1 as they call it) and see the three phones listed as paired (my old phone, my new phone and my wife's phone), and click on hers. Wait a bit, and then she is good to go. But then next time I drive, I realize my phone isn't connecting now, so I have to go do it again. Which means she's going to complain next time that her phone isn't working again.
I've installed a few bluetooth powered head units before, and even the Android Auto supporting F7 before this one, worked as expected: If the last device isn't available, try to connect to another recent paired one. It seems to just get stuck on the last one for some reason. Is this a limitation of how bluetooth works on these units?
have you solved this issue
i am finding it very frustrating
i thought i would solve it using the app "automate"
this would star a sequence of checks and sytematic attempted connections
but, oddly enough you cant automate the triggering o fthe flow
so it would only start if actioned
Yes, or rather THEY solved it.
Reach out to customer support. There is an update to the Bluetooth module that makes this work the way I described.
I got an A6pf in my other car and had them make an update for that one too. Much happier now.
