I just got my hands on an HTC M8 but I'm having issues connecting it to my 2007 Volvo S80 through Bluetooth. It connects then disconnects immediately. I've tried to unpair then pair again the devices, restart the phone but nothing seems to be working
I've had no issue connecting a M7, Lumia 630 or iphone 4s.
Anyone know how I can solve this?
The some problem, some car and devices.
It has been all OK till a few days ago. Now for some reason the connection drops right after it is established.
So I have had my phone since it was released and used it with my BMW to make and receive calls and listen to music. This week I got a huawei watch and now I have issues in my car. I am not getting sound through the car and it disconnects and reconnects. I read you can have 7 devices connected to Bluetooth at one time. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
Generally speaking, there should not be a problem. I rent cars frequently (for business trips) and pair my phone most of the time with the head unit to listen to my music or make/receive phone calls. I did not experience any problems so far, since I have my watch. The phone connection to the head unit was always stable and I was able to initiate calls by "OK Google" command. The connection of the watch to the phone was also stable.
I did not get a BMW though since I have my watch (It's actually very random what cars I get). So I can't confirm that there is no particular problem with some car/phone combination.
I use a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and can confirm stable connection with Ford, Jeep, Citroen, Renault, Nissan and Opel head units for the models I drove.
My Nexus 6P updated to 7.1 last night and the Pixel came today, so this likely is a 7.1 issue.
I have a 2012 GM Equinox that was working great with teh Nexus 6P pre 7.1, Never tried it with 7.1 because it came after I was home and had no reason to be in the car and the new Pixel came today.
Neither will work with bluetooth, although both say that they are paired, neither connects unless I am in the Android pairing screens. Once off those, the connection goes away, the light on the car goes away, no connection. This was tested on both phones, and the results are the same all the time. The car sees each phone, pairs with each phone, but the magic that happens when you connect doesn't happen.
Other devices are connecting via BT (such as my fitbit) but the car pairs but never connects (again, unless on the android pair screen or if I use the car and select a phone, it'll connect for a second but goes away).
Have seen other complaints, thought I'd add mine to the world
I have an Acadia and mine works perfectly
I have a 2014 GMC Sierra and everything is working perfectly. Calls and music have been flawless so far.

I appreciate that, but on the google pixel help groups, there are a bunch of us with the issue. We all describe it the same as well.

I see someone else posted that issue as well. Maybe is because I after market radio in my car
I have a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and my 6p and Pixel XL. They both pair and work fine with the stock radio.

So weird, I just posted the exact same problem in a new thread just below this so mods please delete mine. I have the exact same issues. Both new Pixel and Pixel XL will not fully pair. My truck is a 201o Silverado, the pairing process goes smoothly, the truck says it is paired but the phone does not pair, let's go Google. BTW the XL pairs with my BT speaker in my house so not sure what's wrong

I had a similar problem with my Hyundai Genesis 2011. The problem is the Nexus and pixel phones with Android 7+ can't seem to automatically detect the cars Bluetooth. So on my car I went to phone and clicked add where it tells you your cars Bluetooth password and add device then refresh Bluetooth pairing on the phone and it should appear.

Thanks, the phone is showing as paired on both the phone itself and on the car, it just never actually connects after pairing, does nothing with contacts nor keeps a connection longer than 4 seconds. It'll say Pixel XL then swap to Onstar Handsfree and the bluetooth connected indicator light simply goes out.
I have the same or exceptionally similar issue... Some better detail on my issue:
Phone: Pixel XL
Car Head Unit: Pumpkin Android Head Unit
Bluetooth worked perfectly with my Note 5.
Pixel detects the "Car Kit"
The head unit detects the Pixel
They pair fine and appear to connect. However after just a few seconds the bluetooth on the phone shows
"Car Kit (No Phone)" - Connected ..... It then disconnects, reconnects and repeats.
Cleared Bluetooth cache on head unit - Can't find a bluetooth cache on the Pixel XL.
No idea where to go from here.
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.
Hi Guys, anyone have any hints to deal with the garbage bluetooth on this device?
Specifically I have issues using smartwatch type devices. My pebble watches (Pebble OG and Pebble 2 HR) and my fitbit blaze, all struggle to connect, and when they are connected, they disrupt a2dp audio streaming to my headphones and my car stereo... the same watches and audio devices work fine on my pixel 2 xl and are all amazingly reliable and consistent, but connected to this phone the audio is fine, but as soon as I connect a smartwatch the audio goes to ****, and none of my watches will remain consistently connected or reliable.
I also notice the pixel can read the headphone battery data off my headphones, and the sony cannot.
