Can't connect to Ford Bluetooth handsfree device

Hello,
in a few weeks I'll get my new Ford car - equipped with the built-in bluetooth handsfree device. I tried to connect my MDA 3 to this device at several Ford dealers but didn't get any connection.
The MDA finds a "Ford Audio" but can't establish a connection.
Who has any ideas ?
Thanks in advance - Dieter

I have the same problem with a new mondeo...
Everything works with an old nokia 6630 (with a small nokia application I can browse the phonebook as well) but I'm not able to pair the bluetooth ford audio system with my HTC TyTN...
Any ideas?

try using a newer bluetooth stack.

What is a bluetooth 'stack' ?
And how do I change to a newer one?

As far as I know, you'll need to update the Radio portion of your device's ROM based software (the basic software that drives the device).
The best bet in your case I believe would be to just grab a new complete update for your device by searching the wiki for downloads for your device. Download a newer official ROM, install it and try again.
You will lose all saved data on the device though so back it up>

Did upgrading the bluetooth stack fix this connectivity issue to Ford Audio Bluetooth Handsfree devices?

Same problem. I've tried to upgrade bluetooth stack: my BA finds "Ford Audio" but doesn't connect. Please give us some help

after correct pairing (code 0000), press "Phone" on the caraudio system and then "Menu". After that press left or right joypad on the caraudio to set the "Active Phone". It will search and your phone will be correctly paired.
The last paired phone will be automatically active when you turn on the caraudio system next time.
In some cases will also help to install on the device the JETware application... just try.

Problem Solved!
Thank you dark horse, followed your advice and it worked just fine. I can now connect via bluetooh in my ford.

[Q] Bluetooth DUN client on Android?

Is it possible to use the Desire as a CLIENT for a Bluetooth enabled DUN sharing device? I mean I want to use the Desire without signing up for an other internet contract SIM. Wifi is a solution, but when there is no wifi coverage, it would be really good if I could use my other phone's 3G connection, which can share it over Bluetooth DUN.
What I'm looking at is not tethering, but being a client for a tethered phone. Is there any ROM or app or trick which would make my Desire work as a DUN client?

i'm in the same requirement.
i have an Android tablet with wifi and bluetooth, and i've got a separate 3G/HSPDA phone.
so in the absence of wifi, i want to use my 3G phone (paired with my tablet via BT) and use the phone's connection to surf the web
it's like PC, connected to a phone via bluetooth and use the regular dialup networking to connect to the internet.
any links, reading materials (online) would be great.
thanks

Android + BT DUN
The same trouble: HTC Flyer Wifi cannot use any of BT DUN -enabled phones. It's very unexpected lack in Android.

Same trouble. Galaxy S Android 2.3 cannot use BT Dun enabled phones. Would be very usefull !!!! A lot of people around the web asking for a way to share his blackberry data plan through BT Dun to his Android phone

Me too, Nook Color running CM7 but can't surf anywhere like my iPod tethering through a Nokia phone

[SOLVED] Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG78 Bluetooth connection

I have an Sony Xperia M (C1905) with Root access (locked bootloader) running stock Android 4.1.2
The Sony Xperia M (C1905) supports Bluetooth 4.0 (with added features if we get Android 4.3)
I have a Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG7873S home (landline) phone.
The KX-TG78 Link2Cell home phone has a USB 2.0 cellular charging port which is a nice touch.
The Panasonic KX-TG7873S provides Link2Cell via Bluetooth.
This supports inbound and outbound Cellular calls (Link2Cell), with inbound caller ID read from contacts.
Calls/communications are transferred to and from your cellular phone via Bluetooth.
Another feature is that the DECT KX-TG78 home land phone can pick up the arrival of an inbound txt messages and alert you on your home phone handsets dotted around the house.
The alert is sounded on all home handsets with "Text message!!... Text message!!".
NOW... The Sony Xperia M (C1905) does support Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) and can be paired and will alert you of inbound txt messages.
Problem
HOWEVER... if you stop/disconnect Bluetooth and attempt to reconnect at a later time (arrival home again) it won't successfully re-pair again.
It prompts with a six digit Bluetooth pairing number which can't be accepted by the Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG7873S land phone.
I do note the Panasonic OUI MAC address is in a Bluetooth blacklist(blocked) in /data/mics/bluetooth, /data/mics/bluetoothd
Not sure this is really stopping anything as I removed it and it's still removed after a reboot.
Before I removed it the OUI MAC address block, the Sony Xperia M was still successfully pairing the first time with the home land phone.
If I remove any reference to the Panasonic KX-TG7873S (Seen as DECT KX-TG78 in Bluetooth list by default) with MAC OUI 00-08-F0, I can successfully pair again.
The Panasonic KX-TG78 Link2Cell does use a default 0000 Bluetooth challenge PIN.
This can be changed on Panasonic KX-TG78 land phone, but again this makes no difference, that I'm aware of.
I have a Sony Xperia S (LT26i) running Android 4.1.2 which is paired to the Panasonic KX-TG78 on the second line and it's working just fine.
I can just turn on Bluetooth at any time and once paired, it just reconnects without problems the next time using Panasonic Link2Cell.
The Sony Xperia S doesn't support Message Access Profile (MAP)
The Sony Xperia S does only have Bluetooth 2.1
So it may be that the Sony Xperia M is having issues when reconnecting due to Bluetooth MAP.
As this is a long shot, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I could manually alter the Bluetooth connection on the Sony Xperia M so that it'll connect to the Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG78 without having to manually reconfigure Bluetooth each time.
I've use extended naming in the hope a Google search will invite a wider audience where expertise may come from different practices.
[Update MAR-2014]
Panasonic support did reply and thought it may be something better taken up with Sony.
Fair enough, as I'm running Android 4.1.2 and there is upgrades in the pipeline which may include Android 4.3, so we can look at the problem again after an Android upgrade.
[Update APR-2014]
Upgraded to Android 4.3 on my Sony Xperia C1905 and Bluetooth MAP profile how works.

[ANSWER] Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG78 Bluetooth connection
Solution
I have upgraded the Xperia M (C1905) to Android v4.3 and now have a robust Bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile) service.
Bluetooth MAP service now works on the Xperia M (C1905) with the Panasonic KX-TG78 land phone.
After pairing with the Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG78 land phone, I'm then prompted to 'authorize' a MAP service.
You will probably still have to edit the Bluetooth /data configuration for Bluetooth to remove the blacklisting of Panasonic MAC OUI 00-08-F0
I did this as I have a phone with root access to the /data/misc folder.
When you re-connect the Bluetooth service after a second time the Bluetooth MAP service connects automatically.
There is a notification on the status bar which can not be removed which indicates the Bluetooth MAP service is active.
The notification states, - Bluetooth Message Access to "DECT KX-TG78"
This never appeared on the old Android 4.1.2 ROM where Bluetooth would pair successfully once, but not the second time unless you reset all Bluetooth /data/Misc configuration. This was unworkable using Android 4.1.2 ROM
In the old Android 4.1.2 you still got an audible txt alert notification on the land phone when Bluetooth was successfully paired on the first connection. However, you couldn't get the Bluetooth connection to re-connect on the second time after Bluetooth had been turned off and on again.
Summary
Using Release 15.4.A.1.9 Android 4.3 on an Xperia M (C1905), all Bluetooth services I have tested on a Panasonic DECT KX-78 home/land phone worked effectively.

Same here. I'm running latest Malaysk ROM (Jan 2016) on AN RK3188 1024X600 JOYING (JOYOUS) heading. WiFi was ok for bench testing but it will connect with full bars then drop after a short time (30s-3min). Not sure how to fix it because for a week it was fine... Won't connect to home wifi (in the house beside my computer) or my iPhone 5 hotspot 5cm from unit. Anyone have some ideas?

On my GA2114 WIFI sometimes wifi doesnt turn on at all

Have the same issue. Problem started after updating to FUSE technology on Malaysk ROM. WIFI drops connection after few minutes of using. Not sure if it can be fixed by ourself. It should be reported to Malaysk.

On Malaysk ROM 02-07-16 (version 2) on RK3188 800x480 HZC. Had the drop out issue on the stock android 4.4.4 but also on Malaysk ROM - very, very weird indeed... Would nive to have it fixed.

Hi mas618, did you get an solution. Got the same "wifi drop issue" with stock ram and also with malaysk rom.

Same to me. Any fix available?

Wifi corrected
Hi
Finally i found problem. Thank me if it is useful.
Problem is not software problem. It is just harware problem
I just take out unit from car. Opened 2 screws top of dvd and removed metal lid.
Wifi cable has 2 wire in 1 wire. Middle is the + outside wire is ground. So both is soldered very badly to signal point. I was able to solder ground side to ground but i just changed wifi antenna with wire from laptop antenna.
You can just solder it. Or you can chane it.
In first picture you can see very bad solder.
In second picture you can see new antenna with wire soldered.
You can solder outside wire any place of ground.
My wifi is now very good works. Not drop anymore. And bluetooth audio is not drops too.
I saw the cpu is not have any cooler. The last pictures show cooler is planted to rk3066

Dasaita wifi & bluetooth connection issues

I have PX6-HA5393-MAX10-CP updated with the VIVID10. Loving everything about that, however I purchased a Cobra SC201 dashcam with 5.0 Bluetooth and dual band 2.4ghz & 5 ghz wifi. My head unit cannot recognize either of the dashcam's Bluetooth or wifi networks to connect. The dash cam is visible and accessible with other devices such as phone and laptop. Only the head unit can't detect the dashcams wifi or Bluetooth networks to connect. The head unit is 2.4 ghz wifi only and the dash cam claims it's dual wifi (2.4/5.0 ghz). Both claim 5.0 Bluetooth. I have tried manually adding and connecting to dash cams wifi using different encryption keys with no success. Same issue before update to VIVID10 also.

- The Bluetooth is crippled and only works for phones and certain obd adapters
- The max10 can't do 5ghz... only 2.4
- The camera software will not do wifi cams.

Bob,
Thanks for the follow up! Has anyone been able to successfully bypass the internal wifi/Bluetooth with USB wifi/Bluetooth adapter installs on these Android head units. I've read rumors of wifi bypass of others that know someone, but have yet to find any helpful links. Also not sure I follow regarding the camera software not doing wifi cams. Are you referring to Dasaita's DVR camera apps?

As far as I know... yes. The app is trained to look for cams on usb and on the dedicated dvr cam plugin. I have not been able to get it to look elsewhere for cameras.
From what I understand, some people have had LIMITED success with usb bluetooth adapters. Some have managed to get them recognized, but then they operate in the same crippled fashion. The bluetooth regardless of what bluetooth system you use, will only recognize phones and some basic obd2 adapters and as far as I know, no one has been able to work around that.... and this is not just Dasaita... but pretty much all of them.

would rooting fix this limitation?

Bump - anyone out there was able to get Bluetooth for anything other than phones/OBD devices to work with any of these Android head units?
I have tried three off-the-shelf Bluetooth dongles and playing with the BT "drivers?" in the list for BT under Factory settings (i.e Head Unit > Settings > Car > Factory Settings > BT).
No luck!
