None here. I do get random drops in Pandora while driving.
this is getting really frustrating, especially when my old galaxy nexus would auto connect with no issues. I've cleared the cars phone book and the previously paired phones and i unpaired and paired the phone several times and still wouldn't auto connect after its initial pairing.

I have the exact same issue. I too am coming from a Galaxy Nexus which would auto connect to a GOgroove FlexSMART X2 Mini in my car. Unfortunately I am unable to get my Verizon LG G3 to auto-connect. I am able to manually toggle it to connect. What is weird is that it will auto connect to a Logitech Mini Boombox that is also paired to the phone.
well it seems to be working now. Took care of some errands this morning and so far its been auto syncing every time i get back in the car. I didn't do anything to the phone. The battery did die over night and i fully charged it this morning while it was off prior to me leaving.
spoke to soon! after a while the phone stopped auto syncing. Seems the fix is the restart the phone and then all is well, i cycle the car off and on several times after restarting the phone and it would auto sync with no problems. I hope they fix this issue with the next software upgrade
Did some more troubleshooting and discovered something interesting. On certain paired bluetooth devices (e.g. Logitech Mini Boombox) it doesn't matter if the device is powered on before the phone's bluetooth is turned on, the device will auto-connect to the phone. On the other hand, other paired bluetooth devices (e.g. GOgroove FlexSMART X2 Mini), if the device is on before the phone's bluetooth is on it will not auto-connect but if the phone's bluetooth is on before the device is powered on they will auto-connect.
Mine is auto syncing with my Merc (Comand Online) but the G3 keeps having a popup message saying "headset disconnected" every 5 seconds...
But I can make extensive calls and everything is synced (call history, sms, contacts).
Any idea how to get rid of the annoying popup ?
Ok, found out by myself
Apparently the G3 tried to connect to bluetooth audio streaming mode... It's off by default on my car kit. I disabled the latter in the G3 bluetooth parameters for my car kit and now I don't have this annoying popup anymore !
Has anyone encountered issues with connecting with a car bluetooth? My wife phone conntects with no issues.. She can use the cars remotes to make and receive calls.. Mine I have to pick a contact from the phone for it to work, it will not work with the car or my work truck controls.. It seems everytime it ask if my car or truck can access my contacts, I always choose allow, but nothing happens, but it works with the wifes.. This is with the Lollipop update, that we both have...
happened to me I just rebooted my phone and it connected, also check settings for that paired device

Got one to work, in my truck.. The car it worked for a while, then quit.. I will try it agian to see if it will stcik... Most likely caused by the 5.0 update..
I've noticed a Bluetooth problem that suddenly started in the last week or so. I upgraded to Lollipop when it first hit, and didn't have any problems.
Now, however, after Bluetooth works fine for awhile (I can connect to a Pebble watch, Bluetooth speaker, car Bluetooth, etc) all day long - then all of a sudden it can't connect to ANYTHING. Toggling Bluetooth off\on doesn't fix it.
Restart the phone, then everything works just fine for awhile. Until it doesn't, and I have to restart again.
Anyone else experiencing this pattern?
I've actually had the opposite happen. I have a iSimple bluetooth box in my car. I've never been able to auto connect with either VZW Note2 or 4. The CS rep told me it had to do only with VZW phones and he couldn't help me out. On another forum, another member mentioned he didn't have any issues with his older phone, so I dug out my old HTC Incredible. Sure enough, it would auto connect. Something changed with Lollipop, and now my Note4 will finally auto connect to the iSimple box. I tried using a third party Bluetooth app prior, but it didn't fix the problem.
Finally got the one in the car working as well... Because the wife and I have the same phone, I just simply changed the name of my phone and it works fine..
If your talking about the developer edition one rom update.. YES.. What fixed mine was wiping everything and redoing the one rom lollipop, then twrp, then installing Ricks Rom Lollipop, things have been perfect. I even addressed it in the ricks rom thread the week.
I haven't had any issues connecting devices but since Lollipop, when I am connected to a bluetooth speaker (car, bose, other bluetooth speakers) the audio gets choppy randomly.
I have done some searching and found others (LG g3) who had the exact same issue after updating to Lollipop.
I have tried rebooting, using different music apps, unpairing/pairing, forgetting the device ect and nothing seems to work. Anyone else having this problem after updating to lollipop? Anyone know how to fix it?
OK, so I got everything working on my unit back in November. Bluetooth worked fine and connected with my phone and OBD device (OBDLink LX).
Suddenly within the last couple of weeks, it's stopped connecting. I have tried rebooting the radio, unplugging/replugging my bluetooth OBD, unpairing the phone, repairing, etc... Nothing seems to work for more than a few minutes. Sometimes it will work for one trip, but then the next trip it's back to REFUSING to connect to either bluetooth device. Remember - BOTH worked before, and I didn't change anything.
Since it's happening with both my Phone and my OBD device, it appears like it is a fault in the stereo. I really don't want to do a full factory reset as that would entail many hours sitting in the car wasting gas idling while I reinstall/reconfigure EVERYTHING only to not even be sure it won't do this again.
Anybody have any tips on something I can do to fix this? There does not appear to be any kind of "unpair" option in the bluetooth settings on the radio itself. I'm wondering if there's a way I can manually reset just all of the bluetooth settings - blow them away and start over without resetting the whole device.
This is a pretty big deal - one of the #1 reasons I bought this device was for OBD datalogging. If that feature does not work, I will rip it out of my dashboard and ebay it. PERIOD...
Adcice?
Nobody?
I tried changing the bluetooth device name, changing the PIN and re-pairing my devices. They work intermittently, but 90% of the time won't connect, or if they do, they won't stay connected.
This is turning my radio into an expensive piece of garbage...

Try keeping wifi on all the time (even if not actually connected to any network).

I do have Wifi on all the time. I have an LTE Hotspot I keep in the glovebox of my car that powers up as soon as the car powers on. So there's 100% wifi coverage for my stereo no matter where I'm at.
I can randomly get it to connect, but it won't stay connected. When I'm in the bluetooth menu, the devices will actually disappear from the paired devices list. Both paired and available will go blank just suddenly as the devices drop off. Then they'll reappear on their own. So it appears to be the bluetooth stack is crashing - but I'm not sure why.
It is a KLD RK3188 unit. Running latest MCU (came preloaded, just bought it in November - I haven't put a new MCU) and recent firmware, which is a stock firmware, not MalaySK (MalaySK doesn't support the digital display below the screen on my unit)...
At this point this unit is trash if I can't keep Bluetooth working more than 10% of the time.

Some smartphones might show an incompatibility with the radio's BT stack. To be sure try with another smartphone.
I would see if it pairs reliably with just one device at a time. My phone has issues connecting with the HU if I first connect my BT headset to the phone but works fine if I do it after. Also the construction of these seems to be sub-par and it could be the bt device or antenna in yours was not connectec/mounted well and you hit a pothole and now its not attached/broken/loose. It may be worth opening and looking inside for something that broke off or is loose. Finally, I have had (well still have) my factory settings change randomly and have to go in and reset. There are settings in the for BT module and it may be worth looking to see if yours are correct.
I also have problems with mine but I'm running Marshmallow in my OPO. As soon as i go back to Lollipop (CM 12.1) it works again.

Turns out I think it's the OPO. Mine has issues even with 12.1. I think it's based on Modem version not firmware version. Your modem may have been changed when you went back to 12.1.
For me changing modem versions is something I really want to avoid. I hunted forever for a modem version that didn't constantly drop WiFi and LTE, finally found one, and I think that's when the Bluetooth issues started. Every time I flash a modem to the OPO it becomes a nightmare. That phone really does not want you messing with the firmware which is not what I expected when I bought it.
For now I'm back on my old Nexus 5. No problems. I may just sell the OPO and never stray from Nexus again.

Hmmm.
My OPO doesn't connect to the headset but my chinese BT OBD dongle connects fine and works.
I have the same problem with my unit but phone working.Only obd2 adapter some times not connecting.Have you find any solution?
I have a similar issue with the Pixel XL.
Previous I was on a Nexus 5 Bluetooth worked perfectly every time without fail, could make calls, listen to music and sync address book no issue.
Now since moving to the Pixel XL I have an issue connecting to the head unit. The head unit shows as a connected device, but then flashes green then grey, green, grey showing connected, disconnected... I can still stream music from my phone over Bluetooth, but voice is not achievable.
Like suggested it's likely to be the BT stack in the handset rather than the head unit as works fine with Nexus 5. Highly frustrating and likely no fix unless it can be patched by software update
I'm also having the same problem as you noodlemctwoodle on a Nexus 6P with 7.1 developer preview.
I've un-enrolled from the beta program this morning, waiting for the ota to come down, as soon as it does will re-test and let you know if it's working, as I suspect it is a problem with the bluetooth stack in 7.1
MTCD MLT (Xtrons TD618AS) Bluetooth and OBD Reader
I have had issues with the Bluetooth on the MTCD MLT V1.76_1 (Xtrons TD618AS).
I found a work around which allows me to use the OBD reader successfully. I downloaded an Android Bluetooth App and toggled off the Bluetooth. Once the Bluetooth was toggled off I was able to access the OBD reader by using the "Piston" OBD app. I tapped on the car picture and waited for the app to think about things. Once the app finished thinking I was able to start capturing the live OBD data by pressing the play picture. I am only speculating, but I feel as though perhaps the firmware engineers goofed. This is even the OBD reader that Xtrons promoted as compatible with the TD618AS stereo I bought with it at the same time. Not to mention that I continually lose FM radio even though the stereo was professionally installed and no wires were cut. I was very excited, and now only depressed.

Which Bluetooth app did you download?
Anyone else having this issue? Jawbone HD headset.
i get a similar issue with my fm transmitter after updating to marshmallow, tonight on my way home from work i started to play some music from the phone through the stereo in my van and i didn't have any problems but when i leave it connected so that i can answer calls hands free that is when i get the disconnecting issues. i noticed that i had the aggressive doze setting switched on in greenify so i've turned this off now and i'll see if that makes any difference
switching off the aggressive doze setting didn't work so i'm back to square one, reading online this seems to be a common issue on 6.0 on other phones hopefully google have sorted it on 6.0.1 and htc give us an ota update to this version
I can stop it from happening by turning off wifi, not ideal, but works.
thanks for the suggestion windozgeek i'll give it a try tomorrow
I had issues with the my car bluetooth. Connecting, disconnecting constantly on the way to work. Also text messages would not import. Didn't have any trouble with Lollipop. Oh, both ROMs were completely stock, no root or anything.
So I loaded TWRP and then loaded Bliss ROM, and everything is working great again. Guess I won't be going back.
Same here. My HTC M8 will connect to my car stereo and start streaming music immediately when I start the vehicle. But about 1 minute into it, it will disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, then reconnect. One out of every 4 times the bluetooth stack in Android will crash completely and not come back without a reset. Wondering if this is a driver issue in the modem firmware. Can possibly be verified by rolling back to the 5.0 modem and seeing if the problem persists.
I'm on miui 13 and I have annoying issues, the device's bluetooth which unable to auto connect with car's head unit. The only way out is to unpair then pair them again. That being said, if bluetooth turned off, it can auto connect as long as car's engine still on. That did not happen to miui 12.5 which rapidly auto-connect. Anybody has any idea how to fix this?
BMW NBT?
I also have this problem. With iphone works properly.
I managed to get it fixed by putting the car audio in bluetooth connection mode, go to bluetooth app then toggle allow fullscreen app. In connect state it will disconnect then reconnect. In our case, it'll force connect to nearby previously connected device. That leaves another issue, which is media info won't update. So we kinda stuck with first song info or podcast title, then it won't refresh. Probably due to xiaomi policy to limit data transfer or simply unresolved bug. Luckily I have Samsung device which I use most of the time in this regard.
