Recently I purchased a Pioneer F900BT for my car, which is a stereo, GPS, and bluetooth enabled unit.
I am able to initially pair it with my HTC x7501 with no problem. And for a couple of days the 2 devices will find each other when I get in the car and the stereo turns on. But eventually they just stop talking and I have to re-pair them over again.
I find this bizarre since both machines still list each other as paired devices in their respective bluetooth setups. They just stop talking to each other.
On the HTC side, in an attempt to remedy this, I upgraded to a 6.1 ROM and the 1.58 radio version. But that did not change the behaviour at all.
Any thoughts? I will be posting a similar message on the avic411 site which is for my Pioneer unit.
Hello
I am trying to get my Hero to connect with my Lexus RX400h's bluetooth car-kit. I can pair the Hero with the car but it will not reconnect. Is there a way to authorize the Hero to alway reconnect without having to re-pair?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Jon
It should remember it. I've never had a problem with my own bluetooth kit.
I get paired but not connected with my thb bury kit there are lots of posts on here about bluetoth issues 5 series bmws also have problems, htc support say they are waiting for an update from google
I'll add the Range Rover Sport to the list of cars with bluetooth issues.
I can connect OK, but as soon as the phone is connected it disables the phone keypad on the car dashboard so I can't use it to access voicemail and other menus.
Worked fine with my Diamond and Touch HD
Toyota TNS 510 carkit wont work either. It pairs ok, it even pairs the A2DP system. When pairing is finished a little message appears on the phone saying there was a problem with the bluetooth handfree thingy.

What model year is your RRS ? My MY08 D3 works fine with the Hero... contact list navigation is far better than my 'old' Nokia N85. If your RRS is pre MY2008 there is an ECU update for the Bluetooth PTI I believe.
I'll add a Jaguar XF to the list. Hero will pair ok, then it will disconnect. it will disconnect a few times before it settles down. Whenever it tries to auto-connect, it will disconnect 2 or three times before it stays connected. sometimes it wont connect at all, a quick disable, then re-enable of bluetooh on the hero then gets it to connect again.
Didnt have any problems with any BlackBerry's, Touch Diamond, Nokia e52. Looks like we're waiting on Google for a fix. I wonder if their continual beta policy applies to updates as well as full blown applications?
Peugeot 407 SW ('07)- Pairing okay, connects okay too. On phone call the radio is muted, call picked up (on incoming), but the sound keeps coming through ear piece for 4-5 sec and then it eventually switches to speakers.
HTC cust support not very supportive... pointing me to go to the car manufacturer for support... :s
The Hero and/or Android does not support the bluetooth stack's remote Sim Access Profile (rSAP/SAP) required by many car kits (VAG, Lexus etc.). This might be the issue here.

Let your car do the pairing
Turn bluetooth on your phone and let your car discover and pair with the phone. Your carkit will suggest the passcode enter it in you phone and not the other way arround. That might work, It did for my Porshe.
How do you transfer bluetooth contacts??
Hi. I have my bluetooth car kit working fine, it is with a pioneer head unit. At first i would have to manually connect it, as the phone can only be made visible fo 120 seconds. Hoever after doing this 5 or 6 times, it then automatically conected every time. Just keep trying and see if it eventually does it.
Also.... How do you transfer your contacts lists to the bluetooth device?? I cannot find anyway!! please help!!
No Go on the Mazda 3
just bought a 2010 Mazda 3 sport and the bluetooth does not work with hero.
it pairs with the phone and then occasionally connects. however when you dial a number by voice or keypad the system in the car locks up completely for about 4 mins. tried other phones and works perfect.
Strange thing is it did work once for a day but then went all haywire after that.
would rooting the phone and installing a different rom open up the bluetooth any more so it can communicate better.
Dont want to get rid of the phone but unless i can find a remedy im gonna have to get a different phone.
I have Lexus ES350 2007, It's paired and auto connect with no issue! I have a tiny issue with incoming call in navi screen it display "not supported" instead of caller name!
Also it ringing in my Hero for 4 seconds then it ringing in my car?!
Thanks
Sorted
Well ive sorted th bluetooth problem.
once paired as long as i dont turn off bluetooth on the phone then it connects / reconnects just fine. if i do turn bluetooth profile off then when pairing i need to make phone visible before i get in the car and it picks it up again.
sorted.
2010 Mazda 3 and HTC Hero Bluetooth
Have the exact same problem as Wingy999 and if I leave the bluetooth switched on on the phone I have no problem.
But if I do switch it off/restart the phone, even if I make the phone visible when I get in the car, it does not connect and I have to delete and repair the phone to the car.
Can you help wingy999?
Yes/No
Well its a case of Yes it is and No it isnt.
Sometimes, for a few days i have no problems with phone. Then for no reason it decides to connect (picture of the phone on dash) but it cant communicate with the car. So when you dial it just hangs the system.
Got sick of pairing it to be honest so have left it for now. i wondering if rooting the phone might be a way forward.
yeah, no clue if rooting will help, but im def waiting for it to be possible. lots of cool things that can be done.
the bluetooth problem is to do with the android bluetooth api itself from what i understand. google haven't figured it out entirely yet and so only released it with basic functionality. even once modders are able to get inside the cdma hero, i dont think they can get at the low level bluetooth functionality and make changes. I could be wrong, but if it were the case, we'd see things like obex object transfer available on the GSM Hero's already.
I also have the same problem with my 2010 Mazda 3 and my sprint HTC hero.
I am probably going to have to return the phone. I was hoping for an update or a fix.
It is critical that the bluetooth feature works.
Another annoyance is that I cannot turn the bluetooth streaming audio. Even though the car and phone both have this feature, I do not want it on. I want to be able to turn on bluetooth for phone but not bluetooth streaming audio.
The HTC touch pro 2 (windows mobile) could turn each of the 2 bluetooth services off independently (and worked for both), the HTC Hero does not allow this (and doesn't work with the car anyway).
Huge thumbs down for an otherwise great phone.
My issue is with a Jabra SP700 Bluetooth speakerphone. My phone is paired, is detected and the phone even says 'Bluetooth Headset Connected'.
However, sound is not routed to the speakerphone, it just comes out of the phone speaker...
FYI I'm running MCR 2.8.
BMW 1 series 08 and HERO
Before I buy an HTC Hero does anyone know if it will work with my BMW 1 series
Trying to pair my HD2 with my Pioneer DEH-P710BT and neither device will recognize the other after numerous attempts to follow each of the owner's manuals. Both have Bluetooth switched on and are discoverable and this just worked with my old iPhone on the first try. Is there a trick to this or something I'm missing? Anyone been successful pairing an HD2 to a Pioneer headunit? Thanks!
I have a sony xplod and it works fine with my HD2. You want to put your stereo into pairing mode and search for it with your phone, like you would with a bt headset.
I have the exact same model and I've experienced endless frustration trying to get it to work seamlessly with the HD2. My Blackberry has no issues with the connection to the DEH-710BT radio. There seems to be an issue with the devices establishing a connection, however when they do finally connect it stays reliable for as long as the radio is on.
Going through the Bluetooth settings in the HTC Sense menu often causes the connections to be reset and not work without a number of repairing attempts. Eventually it will work, but its taken me up to 10 minutes to get A2DP and the headset profile to work together.
There are some posts about people having issues with other car stereos and registry settings that are supposed to help. I've tried the registry settings without success in having the devices fully automatically connect.
After playing with the devices for a while, I've gotten it so that the devices 100% of the time automatically connect with the headset profile, however I cannot get them to automatically connect with the A2DP profile. The reliable work-around I've found is after I start my car, I go to Start->Settings->Bluetooth and then click on Stereo Audio under the Pioneer Device. While a bit of a pain, it isn't nearly as bad as trying to use the HTC Sense menu.

speoples20: You're exactly right, my headunit would not find the HD2 but the HD2 found the headunit (took me 5 tries before I got a successful pairing). Thanks!
dmattox: Thanks for the heads up about the A2DP situation, I don't have music loaded on the device yet since I use thumb drives but I'll have to try it out and report back if I have better luck. It is cool that the A2DP feature is there, I don't believe this was supported on the iPhone.
I currently run a Pioneer AVIC-D3 using the Pioneer CD-BTB200 bluetooth module.
I have no issues with connecting my HD2 (and previously my Touch Pro2) to my head unit for both voice and bluetooth stereo.

I have the AVIC Z110BT on my car and I connect the HD2 fine. I do have to do it from the HD2 and not the AVIC unit as opposed to when I had my iphone, but my HD2 connects flawlessly and I can use BT for Audio without any skip. My iphone used to skip every 30 seconds when I played it with the BT Audio connection. I have Energy Rom on my phone, but it worked all the same when I had stock rom as well.
Hi, I have a head-unit with android 12 and I need to connect the car stereo bluetooth to them.
The problem is that disconnects every time I try to connect.
I do:
Reset bluetooth app
Unpair, pair etc etc
No setting for pairing mode in the head unit (passkey/numeric comparision).
Modified all options under deveolpers setting without luck.
I can connect phone or tablet (with a code), so I think that he cant pair with devices without screen.
is there anybody experiencing the same?
Edit: So I think that the headunit has a sink bluetooth and they can't send sound like the phone, is that correct?
What solution has this?
I purchased ac8227l android head unit which came with Zlink 5 installed which supports wireless carplay and Android Auto.
It connects just fine but the problem is with calls. As soon as Android Auto is connected, the bluetooth disconnects and the Android Auto only works through the WiFi hotspot that is created by the headunit.
Now the problem is, when I try to make a call or receive a call, the call is routed to my phone's earpiece because bluetooth is not connected.
I tried with wired Android Auto but had the same problem.
I also tried to go into bluetooth settings and manually force connect bluetooth but I get an error saying "Wireless Zlink mode now! Connect bt not permitted". I get this error even with wired connection for some reason.
My Zlink version is 5.3.5 and Android version is 11.
Hello
I have the same problem. My device is AC8257 based.
But contrary to your situation, i can re-establish the Bluetooth manually.
Another issue, the icons are very small and Google assistant does not listen to my voice.
In carplay mode, everything works fine.
