Does anyone know if there is a way to pair 2 phones to the same car radio?
We use the same car, both me and my wife and automatically connect only the last phone. If you use my wife's car today and connect her phone and I'll use it tomorrow, I have to connect it manually otherwise it won't find it. If you use it later, the problem arises again.
I have another BT bury system on the work machine, I can attack 2 phones simultaneously. They both connect when I turn on the radio. Can it also be done on this?
I have Erisin ES7615V with Android 8.1 PX5/4gb CSN2
Thank you.

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.
Hi Guys,
I'm having this problem that is driving me nuts, don't really know how to proceed.
I have a car stereo a Kenwood DNX8120, which has parrot bluetooth hands free. It has worked very well in the past on an LG, SonyEricsson and the Nexus One.
On the Nexus S (I bought this used and rooted with CM7, so I don't know about a stock model) the bluetooth connects, then after some time, like 20 seconds, it disconnects. I can play this game forever, it won't stay connected.
I can use one of two methods to connect
1- put the phone in BT discovery and let the kenwood connect to it, or
2- Have the phone connect to the kenwood.
I've tried both with the same results.
I got a.logcat and I see a whole bunch of red entries at the time this happens but I don't know what to make if it and I don't know how to grab these entries to a file.
I have also tried a phone wipe and installed infin1ty's ROM and also the latest CM nightlies. Same friggin result.
I see in recovery there are options to delete dalvik and data but I don't know if they'll help.
can you guys help?
Thanks
Tried another device. The actual hardware could be messed up on either device causing this. Try your LG again to the radio and the try another headset to to the phone. Last but not least try the stock Rom .
P.s. cm7 had an issue on the evolution where by was not given a unique Mac address which caused issues for me connecting 2 cm7 EVOs (they would over write each other).
Hope that helps

Hi Thanks for the help.
Both LG and SE phones still work fine. I'm unable to find another nexus s so I dunno if this particular one.
But here's a new discovery.
I paired them using the HU. Now when I start the car, the BT connects then after a bit it disconnects. Well now I can go to the *phone* and manually connect to the kenwood and the connection holds!!! I have no idea what is going on with the autoconnect but it can apparenlty hold a connect if I manually initiate it from the phone.
All this time I had been trying to get the kenwwood to do the manual connection (after the auto connection faills) and that never held.
sigh...
Have you tried a headset with the nexus to see how well/bad it works? Also are you on the stock rom? If so take it down to your carrier and ask if you can try it on one of their units.
hi
i have a small problem with my note 3
when i connect my note 3 with my car radio via bluetooth
the streaming cut every 20 seconds
does anyone find a solution?
I have installed the Bluetooth Auto Connect app but it has not solved the problem
sorry for my english

I see you're really looking for some feedback, so here is my penny worth: it's probably older version BT in your car, that could be a problem, since phone has latest one and streams nice at least to my BT headphones, for example. My car is 6yrs old and I don't even have streaming option, at least none that I can find or make it work. If I was you I could probably try to see if I could get updated software for the radio, either from the dealer if factory, or from manufacturer if aftermarket set. I know my Toyota had at least 3-4 software updates, mostly maps, but also programing. But I don't care, calling over BT works, otherwise I listen to the car radio, cut CD to use in the player, or hook up wire to aux input. I know this is not exactly what you're looking for, but without knowing any details about your car, I can't even point you out to proper car forum, where other people could have similar problem with different phones and already found solution.
BTW your English is fine, no reason to be sorry.

What model car do you have? I have had no issues with my car and the Note 3 connection, streaming works just as good as every other phone I've owned. The post above mentioned about car firmware updates, that would be a good thing to check. My car has had 2 software updates to address issues with the bluetooth system. My car is a 2011 Kia Cerato (Forte in US the market), both updates were in the first year, the first one only 3 months after getting the car.
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.

I had the same issue with my TSX. I did some research and cleared the cache. Worked like a charm afterwards. Did not have the issue one week since doing that

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
I am planning to install an Android Headunit in my car and as it looks for now, it will be one with Android 9.
For data, calls and music I would like to connect to bluetooth and wifi (hotspot) of my phone.
But there is one thing.
Both my girlfriend and I are driving this car
I would like to achieve next thing:
- When I am going to drive alone, wifi/bluetooth has to be connected to my phone automatically.
- When my girlfriend is going to drive alone, wifi/bluetooth has to be connected to her phone automatically.
- When we are driving together, wifi/bluetooth has to be connected to my phone automatically, not hers.
Does someone know how this can be achieved in an easy way?
I was thinking of some app like Tasker or something.
But there has to be more people facing this problem, so perhaps there is already a solution?
