So I want to run a Nexus 7 as my head unit in my car. I have everything figured out expect how to retain hands free bluetooth. I can use a wired head set with mic to make my rca's/ mic cable but I need to be able pair the tablet to my phone as if it's a bluetooth headset. Is this possible?
Good question, interested in the answer too!
Hi guys, I’ve just bought myself a new car with Bluetooth handsfree built in.
Unfortunately this is handsfree only and doesn’t support audio streaming… .
I’m fitting an aftermarket solution to run an aux cable into the head unit but I’d rather have a Bluetooth connection.
So my question is, if I put a Bluetooth audio receiver on the end of the aux cable will I be able to connect my note 2 to both the Honda Bluetooth for calls and the Bluetooth audio receiver (don’t know which one to buy yet, simultaneously?
Would really appreciate your help with this one!

Hey guys,
Let's try to keep it short.
I have a bluetooth speaker Rapoo A500 and the audio is just fine.
I also use on of those fm transmitter things on my car to which I connect my Galaxy Nexus to via bluetooth and it retransmits to the car stereo via FM. Whenever I use the fm transmitter, if I set the volume on my phone to something above like 3/4 of max volume, the sound quality becomes poor (I believe it's due to clipping). The solution is to lower to volume on the phone and raise it, a lot, on the car stereo. However the static from the fm becomes noticeable and so the overall quality drops as well.
So my question is, how come the bluetooth audio is fine on one device and not on the other. Could it be related to the bluetooth versions these devices support? The rapoo A500 is quite recent and supports bluetooth 4, whereas the transmitter probably does not.
Also, do you guys have any suggestions on how to improve the sound quality when using the transmitter? I've tried messing around with various equalizers such as DSP manager, Viper4Android, noozoxide and nexus louder (or whatever it's called), but never got any results...

Any time you use FM transmitters, sound quality is going to suffer. You'd be better off getting an adapter for aux input on your head unit or a new head unit in your car

I used to have an FM transmitter which played music from a usb drive and the quality wasn't all that bad.
Also, "get a new car radio" doesn't answer the question, "how come the bluetooth audio is fine on one device and not on the other."...
I understand, just wanted to point out that if you're looking for sound quality, an FM transmitter isn't the best method.
But, the reason the Bluetooth speaker has better quality is that it doesn't have to convert the signal to a lower quality signal (FM). I can use my phone on Bluetooth mode with my family's Ford Sync head unit, and then use an FM transmitter. The FM transmitter will have worse signal quality.

That's not it. If I connect the phone to the FM transmitter via cable, there is no distortion of the sound. The reason I don't use the cable is because I loose the functionality of the call/end and prev/play/pause/next buttons that are built in to the transmitter.
What I did notice is that the max volume with the cable seems to be as loud as I can go with bluetooth without distortion.
Hello Nexus Community,
I just became a Nexus 5x Owner after half a year of Sony Z5c horror
Of course i opted in as a beta tester for Nougat. I didn't use the phone with Marshmallow at all, so i don't know whether its a hardware or a software error i got.
I cannot connect to my cars bluetooth. Other devices can connect to my car and my Nexus can connect to other BT devices. But i can't pair it with my car. It just doesnÄt do anything when tapping "SEAT-BT" in the bluetooth settings.
Any idea?
Hi all,
I got a Huawei Smart Watch a few weeks ago to use with my Nexus 6P which I've had for a while.
For some reason when the watch is connected to the Nexus 6P with Bluetooth Audio switched on in the Watch, it won't connect to the Car's Bluetooth when the car is switched on.
Is anyone having this same issue? is there anyway of fixing it apart from turning off the Bluetooth Audio function on the watch?
Surely the phone could priorities the Car's Bluetooth. I don't seem to see this issue with either other watches or phones.
