Currently on CM 10.1 January build. I have a Logitech Wireless Bluetooth Adapter that I connect the Nexus to so that music can be streamed to a surround sound system. This had worked on a prior version (the October M, I believe), and this issue has persisted.
After placing the adapter into pairing mode, the Nexus will find the adapter, and after a few seconds will fail to pair and leave pairing mode. The Nexus does not have any issues pairing to a Bluetooth transmitter in the car.
Edit: Fixed, had to simply unplug it and wait a bit, paired immediately.

Got my AT&T Galaxy Note II. Have left the ROM, bootloader, etc. all stock.
Where my Galaxy Nexus would have trouble uploading my phonebook to my 2012 Honda CR-V car stereo without Navigation system, the Note II seems to pair without issue.
HOWEVER, if the phone is unplugged from power... about once every two minutes it drops the BT connection from the car stereo, and about 20 seconds later reconnects. I say if unplugged, because if I plug the phone into a cigarette lighter charger, the BT seems to stay up and stable.
I figure this could be a BT timeout issue, or perhaps some power setting we could adjust? I have disabled the power management functions on the Note 2, but that has not prevented the issue from occurring.
I also have a Sony SmartWatch that I have paired to the phone. The watch doesn't have any issues, but whether I have the watch on or off, I see the same functionality between the phone and the stock car deck.
I'm having the exact same problem, I thought it was an issue with my vehicle's Bluetooth antenna.
I tried calling Samsung about this issue and they were, as expected, pretty unhelpful.
I'm having a similar problem with my Ford Sync Bluetooth connection. Except I'm only using battery power.. The first time I connect for the day, all seems fine. Any subsequent connections during that day are problematic with connect failures or random disconnections.. Must be a gnote2 bug as my gnote1 (stock ROM) worked perfectly in my car.
As soon as I read this, I began to wonder if my issue is somehow related.

same problem here with SGN2 and Veloster...I lose my connection after a few minutes. Before with my HTC, I had no problem .
BT works fine for me in my MDX stereo and on my BlueAnt device. I don't have to plug it in or anything... just turn it on, pair it and go.
My note 2 is bone stock - just rooted so I can use Titanium Backup.
Hey,
I am anxiously waiting for the 360 to be available!!!
I do have a question though:
Is it possible to connect to the watch, as well as use a pair of bluetooth headphones with mic/in car hands-free system at the same time?
Hi, I have similar question - Is it possible to use smartwatches as microphone with BT headphones without mic? IE those:

My Nexus 5 connects to my car, watch (pebble, g watch) and odb port all at the same time just fine.
Hi,
I bought a new LG G4 after using galaxy s2 for 3 years. I have ford focus 2012 car, the galaxy s2 has no problems with connecting and playing music in the car, but now I can't connect the LG to the car, when I am connecting it(with a bluetooth) its works only with calls, its not playing the music in the car systems,I tried to "forget" to car from bluetooth, tried to clean the cache, tried every thing that I found, maybe someone has another way to fix it ?
Hi all,
Has anyone experienced any weird Bluetooth issues after installing the latest May OTA update (OPM1.171019.011-RZR-180509.5038)? I've realized that the BT controls on my 2015 Nissan Sentra no longer work properly. It doesn't automatically connect to BT anymore and no track information shows on the head-unit. The weird thing is that I CAN get music to play, at least.
I just wanted to know if I happened to be losing my mind after numerous reboots and re-pairing between the car and the phone.
Same for me. I can delete it. Pair it again and it works. Next time I get in the car it won't reconnect.. worked fine before the update at the weekend.

It's a fire an miss actually. Sometimes it reconnects automatically with the car's unit (alpine aftermarket) and sometimes it doesn't. I had noticed that if I get in the car for the 1st time today (for ex), it won't reconnect back and i have to cycle around the input in order to "kickstart" the reconnecting process. If I make a stop along the way, stop the car, get out (thus interrupting the connection) and getting back after a while, it will reconnect automatically without any issues. I'm not even taking it out of my pocket. But this scenario is happening since day one, not necessarily from the last update.
On the other hand, I got a smartband (coincidentally after the last update) and now, while the smartband is connected via BT, when I turn on my BT wireless headphone adapter, it won't re-connect anymore (simultaneously with the smartband) and if it does, it's without media playback. As a workaround, I have to 1st turn off the smartband, clear the BT of any active connection (And also any other device with media playback capabilities), turn on the BT adapter so it will connect full, then turn the smartband back on. And not always works like this.
So, I do have on an off issues with the BT stability and connections with various devices, not just car unit.
Strangely though my smart watch connects no problem and the stereo in my motorhome was connecting at the weekend. It's just the car ( a Vauxhall Astra) that refuses to connect unless I delete and re pair....

I can't get music to play with Spotify or YouTube. The phone connects fine, shows song info but just won't play no matter what I try.
The weird thing is that calls work perfectly. Sound through car speakers and mic works. Just doesn't want to play music.
I've tried unpairing, re-pairing, deleting, even factory reset on both phone and stereo. Worked fine before the 8.1 Oreo update. (I'm on 3 UK handset).
Im having issues as well, it will connect the first time when I manually connect the phone and stereo to MyLink. It will say connected but (No Media) so i try to pair the media and it disconnects my phone from BT and then i have to delete device and re connect device manually. As well if i leave the vehicle or turn it off then it will disconnect. Not just my vehicle but the other showroom vehicles do that as well. Can someone let me know if there is a bluetooth upgrade or a firmware upgrade that can fix this problem? is there anything that we can do for this let me know. Thanks!!
I am having the same issue in my bmw.
I can delete the phone and re-pair... But it sucks having to do that every thing.
also having issues as well. It connects to my headphones and the after market HU in my truck but it will not connect at all to the factory HU in Genesis Coupe. I have tried to delete and re pair and still nothing.
So currently it all works for me with the latest update. It definitely takes a little bit longer than normal though. Not sure how long some of you waited, but compared to my old phones it feels like an eternity during the time it doesn't connect. I also use a smartwatch and it is always connected to that. If you guys need or want any files, let me know. I'm currently waiting for a usb-c to usb-a cable in the mail, so once that is here I can try to help.
I think this is all more of an Android issue. I was having most of the exact same issues mentioned here on my LG V20 on Oreo.
I just for a Razer Phone 1 off eBay this week. I did the Pie update and within a day, the bluetooth issues have returned. Sometimes phone won't connect to car stereo - sometimes reboot stereo, sometimes toggle phone bluetooth off/on, or sometimes just wait 10-30 seconds. Doing the same showing info on car stereo display, but no audio transmitted. I also had similar issues using a OnePlus 3 with both Dirty Unicorns and Resurrection Remix Pie ROMs. I was beginning to think it was my car stereo until I read the comments on this thread. Seeing so many others having the exact same issues on factory and aftermarket stereos (mine is an aftermarket), and knowing it's happening on different devices and both Oreo and Pie , I'm thinking it's an Android 8 and 9 issue.
Firstly, an enormous thank you to all the amazing Devs that are still building ROMS for this old (but great!) tablet! Your work and expertise are greatly appreciated!
I've acquired a Nexus 7 2013 Flo 16gb. I wanted to tether WiFi from my Samsung S9 phone via Hotspot and use this tablet for Sat Nav and music etc in my car, a 2011 Ford Grand C-Max. It isn't permanently mounted, just with magnets on the dashboard so I can use it for other things when I'm not driving.
Using the N7's Bluetooth, I can see "Ford Audio" and get a PIN to use displayed on the cars LCD screen when I tap "connect". Everything works fine until I leave the car and take the tablet with me...
The next time I get in the car, the tablet will still see Ford Audio, and the car still lists the N7 as remembered device, but it absolutely will not connect to it again.
If I try to connect using the car's aux button, it'll say "Activating BT Device" for around 30 seconds and then shows "Activation Failed".
If I tap connect on the N7, sometimes it says "connected for a split second and then disappears again as if I never tried to connect.
The only way to get them connected again is to fully debond the N7 from the car, then reconnect from the tablet by entering a PIN number again.
My Samsung Galaxy S9 phone, (and my old Samsung Note 3 phone) doesn't have this problem. I pair the phone once with a PIN, play music with no problems, leave the car, come back, press the Aux button and it immediately picks up Spotify from where I left off. It also displays the name of the song being played and the amount of time the track has been playing, this doesn't happen at all with the Nexus tablet.
I've tried removing all Bluetooth devices from the car, changing the display name of the N7 tablet, 3 new ROMS (Lineage 19, Resurrection Remix Q and RR Pie.) It did this on Stock so thought using a more modern custom ROM would fix this strange problem but 3 ROMs later it's still happening.
I've Googled, and read on XDA, seems a lot of people had Bluetooth problems with this tablet back in the day, but that was on Android 4.4.2... But I'm still feeling this on Androids 6, 9, 10 and 12 so far, was there really never a fix found for Bluetooth problems on this device?
Does anyone have any ideas of what may be going wrong? Or any trouble shooting steps to advise? It's too much fuss to remove and re-pair the tablet every time I leave the car so any help would be appreciated please!
I can now add LineageOS 14.1 (Android7) with the ElementalX kernal to the list.
It does the exact same thing as the other Roms, pairs and connects perfectly the 1st time... After that it stays paired but doesn't connect.
If music/Spotify is already playing on the N7 and I click to connect to Ford Audio in the bluetooth settings, the music will be played on the car speakers for around 2 seconds and then stop, and then start again for another second... And then be gone forever! So bizarre.
The only way around this I can see is to buy an Aux > Bluetooth adapter from Amazon, pair the N7 to it and use the Aux channel for Audio out from the tablet over bluetooth. But I'd lose the ability to skip tracks with the steering wheel controls.
Until recently I had a N7 (2013) as my nav tablet in my vehicle. It was running Lineage.
I didn't have it paired to my stereo system, but it was paired to my steering wheel controls.
I didn't take it in or out, so that simplified things. It had a battery-ectomy and ran on a 4V regulator.
I ended up replacing it with a Walmart Onn 8" $70 tablet.
The Bluetooth spec is 3700 pages so it's doubtful that anyone has ever implemented it correctly.
