Has anyone been able to make this happen? I want to get in my car, tap my phone to the tag, have my phone play spotify on the bluetooth. I can get the app to open, but actually playing the playlist I can't figure out... I have a non-rooted, Nexus 6 on Sprint. Any help?
What kind of car do you have? When I turn my vehicle on it connects to my phone and auto plays what I had playing last in the car as long as the car radio is on the Bluetooth input.

Hey guys, I'm having trouble streaming music from my phone and hoping you can help please.
I'm able to connect via BT and the phone works great but when streaming music it never plays, the car just goes from saying "playing" to "pause" and alternates with my phone. When I press play on my phone the car says pause and if I press play on the car it makes the phone say pause. I've tried two cars - a toyota venza and mb e350 both do the same thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

however, i'll suggest you to pair again the phone & car, sounds like a pairing issue
When I connect my Galaxy Nexus to the car, so I can use the PHONE side of the bluetooth connection, I'm forced to use MEDIA mode as well. Otherwise, the phone will disconnect from the car every minute or so, then reconnect after about 20 seconds. It's terribly annoying.
The problem is, if I'm listening to the car radio, or a CD, and I'm ALSO using turn-by-turn directions with Google Maps, I don't get the directions unless I go to "Aux" -> Bluetooth on the car radio.
Want to be able to disable the Media mode, but have already unchecked the checkbox and it's NOT keeping it disconnected as it should. Anyone else had this problem and know a fix?

What car is this with?
Its a known issue with Seat Ibiza 2010 and 2011 models. Took me 18 months of arguing with Seat and 1 intelligent guy at my local dealership to find how to get past it.
For me it was simply a setting that was factory disabled - needed the dealership's software to flip the switch. I now have a firm media connection between car and phone (or can disable it from the phone if I want) and media streams from CoPilot, navigation etc override other head unit sources when active.
2012 Honda CR-V EX-L. It uses HandsFreeLink for it's bluetooth, a Bluetooth "stack" uses by at least 10 automobiles if I've read other posts correctly. I couldn't get the phone to sync at all for a couple weeks, cause the phone book application built into the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, and a few others was incompatible with the car.
Trying to resolve the issue myself, as I didn't see Honda or Samsung rushing to resolve the issue, I was able to replace my Galaxy Nexus "stack" with another, and that allows the Phone Book application to sync with the car. It also allows the Bluetooth to stay connected correctly, rather than drop every minute or two.
But the problem lingers with getting the "media" to disconnect when necessary to hear Turn-By-Turn directions are coming from Google Maps / Navigation. Instead, it's listen to the radio and get NO directions, or use BT mode in the car and get nothing BUT directions, unless I stream music or something from my phone. Neither are optimal solutions.
I've commented on Google Maps through the Google Store that Google Music allows me to switch from Car to Phone and back "in-app" now. And that this functionality is EXACTLY what I'm looking for in Google Maps. No idea if they'll take heed, but that WOULD resolve my issue.
Hey all
I have had a lot of trouble with my Galaxy's bluetooth connecting with the system in my Infiniti M37x
I now am able to have it so everytime I get into my car, the phone's "phone" bluetooth connects automatically, I can use the hands free system to make and receive calls AND the phonebook is downloaded into the system as well. Works just GREAT! I can talk on the phone and I have my contacts there. All hands free.
But......
that is only if I pair it to the phone part of the Galaxy.
If I also pair it to the audio device, then the troubles begin.
If I were to pair the audio to my car, the music sounds great...but once I turn off the car and leave, come back, the car won't recognize the phone part. Even if I go to BLUETOOTH settings, and click the little button, it won't stay or connect to my car.
This worked great with my EVO using Gingerbread.
Is this an ICS thing?
Are there any apps that would allow me to just leave the phone as the default car connection and if I want to listen to music, just click something to switch it over to audio part?
Whenever pair to the audio and I use the audio bluetooth connection, I have to unpair and start all over to get the phone to connect.
Hopefully this makes sense. Any advice would be helpful.

This is a Samsung thing (and I hate their phones because of this)
To have this function correctly, you need to enter car dock mode. To enter car dock mode, you need a samsung car dock.
If my phone is docked, I can stream music, receive calls, etc, all work great.
If I leave it in my pocket and I stream music and receive a call, the audio comes through the phone, and not through bluetooth.
My E4GT was like this. I opened an issue with Samsung to which they replied "Working as designed"
No other phones work like this, only Samsung and their ****ty bluetooth switching.
I think you can also solve this by going AOSP or AOKP.
I have no issue with my s3 when connecting to audio or phone. and im able to answer calls, and play music no problem
How did you pair both? Do you have to switch between the two?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I am also having this same problem but only after flashing a customer ROM. With the costume ROM the phone will connect phone and I can make calls no problem but I can not get music to stream to my car stereo no matter what I do with the costume ROM when back to stock just to verify this and I have no problems streaming music on stock ROM or making calls via Bluetooth.
Sprint GS3 horrible in car
The first two days the phone worked great. Now it connects but the sound is noisy and unintelligible from either end. I don't know what changed. anyone can help me on this? can I stream music through bluetooth if it ever starts working again?
are you running the stock software not modded in any way?
Hey guys, i got a question.
I would like to purchase the watch but i am doubting something. If my watch would be connected to my phone and i step into my car and normally my phone auto-connect over bluetooth to my car audio system. Would it still do that? And i'm i able to pick music on my watch in the car, example Spotify library, to play on my car audio.
The Bluetooth should work just fine. I don't have it with a car Bluetooth but when using the Bluetooth headphones it doesn't have any issue at all because both link directly to the phone.
The music controls are another thing, you can use it as a remote to play, pause, skip or go back through the tracks but it doesn't let you select whatever you want directly from the phone(selecting playlists or songs from them).
If you download playlists on the watch because you have premium you can go through them and select the songs just fine, but then you wouldn't be using the phone to play the music, so you should check if the car would let you have two devices connected at the same time if you want the phone linked for something else.
Tldr: Remote or standalone Bluetooth music yes, total control of the phone app no.
Ive been having issues with that as well. Do you have android auto in your car? If so, you need to go into AA options on your phone and go to quick connect and only have your phone connect.
I can confirm that you can still use BT on your car and have it connect at the same time with your watch. If you are having issue connecting just go to your car's BT settings and force the connection and it should connect to your phone for media. I use my watch when I'm driving to change a song without having to move my hand from the steering wheel.
Let me add to this that, at least for me, it is *not* possible to have the watch connected as a handsfree device to the phone together with the car kit. So the watch is connected, but I can't answer calls with it if I want the phone to connect to the carkit. It (the phone) simply rejects that request if the watch is connected.
This is why I don't want a smart watch. Only because when I sit in my car it will not connect to car and disable on watch.
Odd question. I bought a vehicle that has Bluetooth but only does phone calls. I attached a Bluetooth aux device to the radio, which allows streaming music. I need to have both to allow the steering wheel bluetooth controls for voice on my phone to work and music streaming. My phone and car work great when both bluetooth devices are connected to my phone.
So now the odd question, is there any way to have the phone pair to both simultaneously? It seems once it finds my car, then it stops looking for other devices and I have to manually connect the 2nd Bluetooth device. Thanks a head of time!

mine does this just fine. i was on a road trip bluetoothing to my fm modulator and when calls came in, it muted the music and made the phone ring thru the stock phone connection hardware. are you having troubles getting this same situation going?
No, they pair just fine. I just have to manually connect the 2nd device through the phone. It won't automatically connect to both once it finds the car.
