Music streaming in remote sim mode - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm a proud owner of the Lg g4 and I'm really happy with it. Just one thing is bothering me. Wenn I connect it via Bluetooth with my car it uses the remote sim mode. This works great for phone calls over the car, but I'm not able to stream music at the same time, because the phone hasn't got access to the sim card
Does anybody know a way to use the phone for calls and streaming in the car?

Why do you need acces to the sim for playing music? No need for that. You have to pair car's mediaplayer to the phone. What car you need to connect to?

Maybe this thread will help.

I have a VW T5. the phone connects automatically in the remote sim mode, I suppose that's necessary in order make phone calls over the car system. But, as I said, I can't use the sim card for the phone at the same time for streaming

After the phone connects to the car, look for a menu called "Bluetooth" on Information Cluster. Inside this menu, you will find another one called "Media Player". Go inside and open the third one, called "paired devices". Look for "G4" menu, select "connect" and that's all. I have a VW also, and BT streaming works flawless in my car.
If you still have issues, please tell me the BT module part number (should be under passenger seat) and your head unit version (RCD/RNS 510, etc).

Bluetooth streaming works fine as long as the content is already on the phone what doesn't work is streaming from the Google play cloud, because the phone is on the remote Bluetooth mode. It can't use the Internet because the sim card is used by the car. It sounds way more complicated than it is...

If you need streaming from Internet, you have two choices:
1. You have to buy one of these two modules: 3C8 035 730 D or 3C8 035 730 E. These two modules can make a WiFi hotspot in your car thus you can connect to the Internet using WiFi
2. If your BT module supports HFP protocol, you can change connection mode from premium to handsfree. You will be able to use your phone's data connection, no more rSAP mode (remote SIM mode)
Of course, the best option is the first one, but it involves spending more than one hundred bucks... but it worth

XDA Orbit with VW Passat Bluetooth

Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum.
I have a VW Passat with factory fit bluetooth setup. I am having a problem and can't seem to get the car and phone to see each other.
Would anyone have any advice? I tried a soft reset on the phone and made sure bluetooth was enabled and searching.
Thanks
Hi
I too have a VW Passat, you need to set your handset to use Remote SIM mode, on my HTC3300 this program can be found by going to Start>Programs.
Once you have activated Remote SIM, switch on your Bluetooth and tell the Car to search for the device, once found, pair as normal.
You must set the Car to read your SIM memory only, if you do not the phonebook update will not read your contacts.
My VW factory fit works perfect, the only downside is that you have to save your contacts from your Outlook contacts direst to your SIM card.
Also when using Remote SIM you cannot use the phones GPRS connection, if you use Tom-Tom Traffic than you have to disconnect the phone to update...what a pain.......
If you get stuck, just mail me.
Thanks for the reply.
I can't seem to find the remote sim option. Any idea where it might be on the Orbit?
Thanks!

GPS (Co-Pilot) commands via bluetooth?

I have the O2 Orbit with Co-Pilot software that came with it. I connect the Orbit via bluetooth to the intercom system on my motorcycle. The phone connects automatically every time and I can receive calls as I ride, and listen to WMP (though I prefer to use my ipod).
I set the Co-pilot running the other day but none of the commands would come through the bluetooth connection into my helmet. Do I have a setting wrong or will this not work?
Thanks in advance.
You want btaudio installed to the unit IIRC, have a read of this thread where there is also a download for the plug in to enable the nav voices out through the headset - Mike

Thanks mike.
I have installed it but it doesn't seem to route the audio through the bt to my helmet, but I'll try again later. Do I need to activate btaudio every time I want to use it or will it run automatically?
I couldn't find the 'plug' you mentioned above...
you need to turn the app on if you go to the bluetooth menu and while the helmet is turned on touch and hold the helmet bluetooth name and select set as bt audio if this is not present the use mikes method it all depends on wheather the helmets bluetooth is compatable with the artimis

Two ways to do this - get a bluetooth headset that supports A2DP streaming ( I have a Sony DR-BT30Q) then all audio comes through the headset.
Alternatively, use VJvolubilis (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) - you'll need to set up a shortcut to run it with -agon to stream all audio through your bluetooth device. It worked for me on a BMW car kit!
Thanks guys.
Alix, I'll try that when I get home. The b/t must be compatible as I can receive phone calls on the bike and listen to WMP.
TT, I have no choice but to keep the headset I have as it is part of the wired intercom system and is fitted into my helmet. The b/t connectivity comes through a dongle supplied by the intercom manufacturer and sits beneath the seat with the intercom controller. It works fine with some apps, but just not Co-Pilot.
Not sure what this means :

[Q]Connecting to multiple Bluetooth devices

I just started going back to the gym and I use Bluetooth headphones with my note 2. I'm debating on buying a Bluetooth heart rate monitor to use with a couple of workout apps to track my calories being burned.
I'm wondering.. will I be able to connect both devices simultaneously?
In the car I connect to my head unit, cobra iradar and obd2 scanner. So I don't think you should Have a problem

how....as far as i know....one connection can be made at a time; as soon as you connect one BT, the other got disconnected.
just like wifi and hotpost; your phone either is on wife mode to get internet connection from other or your phone is on wifi-hotpost mode to provide internet connection to others

You can simultaneously connect and use the devices only if they use different BT Profiles. For example, I routinely connect the Note2 to my car's BT receiver for phone calls (Hands-Free Profile, HFP), MP3 playback to the car's speakers (A2DP), and navigation using an external GPS device (Serial Port Profile, SPP). Works fine.

[Q] Bluetooth issues in a vehicle

Hi everyone,
Got my black Z1c yesterday, love it so far!
However, when I try to use it in my car (Audi A6 2008), I cannot place a call if it was initiated from the car's interface.
The phone connects to BT no probs and shows my car in the devices list as a headset. Incoming calls are reflected on the car's display, and connected to the speaker's/mic of the car. When I place a call from the phone itself - same deal, all works as expected. But when I use the car's controls to dial a number, the car's display shows "connecting", and nothing happens...
Tried to pair/unpair many times, no success. Tried other phones, like iPhone 5, Samsung Ativ S (WP8), Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, HTC One - all work seamlessly. My old Xperia Z was working fine, until I sold it to get the Z1c... I would never expect Z1c to behave like this...
Anyone has similar issues?
Yes mine is the same (ford sync)

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks.
There are two important parameters of Bluetooth devices - class and supported profiles.
"Class" signifies the distance at which a Bluetooth connection is possible. Most mobile devices are Class 2, which means they have a range of up to 10 m. Class 1 devices are rare and have a range of up to 100 feet.
A "profile" is a type of Bluetooth connection. The most common are the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles that enable the device to connect to a wireless headset or handsfree.
Some other profiles are OBEX (OBject EXchange) which allows transfer of files, contacts and events; A2DP, which adds support for streaming of stereo sound and AVRC, which allows remote control of playback.

try clear caches. All kinds of caches. When I say all kinds, I mean all caches that you can clean. Retry what you want to do. If it does not help, try factory reset and retry your bluetooth connection. if it still does not help, try flash firmware. I guess this is the solution you can count on.

Thanks, will try. The phone was just outta box when I was trying it in my car... The car was the first BT device it has ever been paired wtih...
Phone calls work fine on mine.
BUT while we're on the topic of vehicle BT, has anyone got working song info via bluetooth? I thought it was supposed to support avrcp 1.3, but in my car (2013 Ford SYNC) I still get no info about songs I'm listening to and also the voice commands for playing artists or albums don't work.
/Daniel
I use it with my new Golf and the phone functions works as expected but the song info does not show. But they never do with Android phones. My 5s works of course

In my Toyota Auris 2013 model song info always worked with Walkman app assuming you have tags filled out correctly.
I know there were some issues with tag info in Poweramp I prefer to use but they got that fixed recently. Advanced options to display song info on external BT device is just buried deep in app's settings though.
Everything works fantastic on my BMW F10 (2012) with Navigation Professional, Bluetooth Music with Song Info, Phone with contact pictures (! Didn't even know that was possible until I got the Z10c) and full Message Access Profile with historic E-Mail and SMS access.
The In-Car integration is the main reason why I am torn between iPhone 5s and Xperia Z1c.
The iPhone has the Advantage of "BMW Apps", which allow using Webradio, Facebook, RSS Feeds etc. through the Navigation, as well as iPod Control and Coverart Display.
The Z10 can't do those things, but it can do Bluetooth MAP which is rather important to me also. Webradio can of course be streamed via BT (and controlled on the phone).

[Q] Bluetooth car connection

Hi,
My car has a bluetooth kit witch it works well with my previous phones (iphone and BB Z10) but when I connect my G3 to the car Bluetooth module the phone disconnects and remote SIM is activated. Although I'me able to make phone calls, read and send text messages from the car phone module I can't use any apps in the phone that require internet connection (such as WAZE) neither I can't receive any emails.
Is there any way to connect my G3 to my car without activating the REMOTE SIM mode?
Regards,
Emanuel
Solver. I managed to disable it in my BT dar options.
