I've had 50 phones and could pair every one on my 2010 Silverado. Can't pair the Pixel XL. It seems to pair at first but on the phone it goes from connected to disconnected before the call connects, any ideas? I've never seen this before. BTW I have Regular Pixel and it has the exact same behavior. Nexus 6P was my last phone and that never had issues.
Edit; So the pixel XL is on 7.1 and my 6P that works in on 7.0

You can you need to do it manually from the car. I had a similar issue with my Hyundai Genesis 2011. You need to go to your cars GPS monitor and look for setup or phone add device. Might be where it tells you cars Bluetooth pairing password. Then refresh your pixels Bluetooth and boom paired.

No issues pairing my Pixel XL to my '15 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack with Uconnect. Connected up first try.

I'm having the exact same issue with my 2013 Silverado. I have it paired but it doesn't stay connected. Hope there's a fix, this will be a deal breaker for me.
No problem with my VW.

Paired fine with my aftermarket adapter in my car. I did have to turn it off and back on though to get it to be recognized as an available device, but no issues connecting after that.

Paired fine with my 2012 F150.
no issue with my VW GTI
Opened the Bluetooth settings on the XL, selected the VW, entered the stupid 0000 code. Paired.
No issue, no different than anything previously.
I had to toggle bluetooth on and off a few times before I could get it to pair with my 2013 F150. It would say "Could not communicate with SYNC" on the phone. But now that it's paired, It works fine.
Paired perfectly with my 16 Ford Focus ST
I noticed Bluetooth is a little funky with my xl... Not sure if it's software or hardware but Bluetooth is definitely slower on the xl then a 6p. Takes a few tries to connect or see other devices and connecting will sometimes randomly fail. Once connected everything works perfectly.
No problem with 2014 Porsche.
Silverado - new topic
OP, we might want to make a new thread titled Silverado. Seems awfully strange it's just you and I so far having a problem and we both have Silverados. I think a new thread labeled connecting pixel to Silverado might grab some attention and maybe we can get some Silverado and pixel owners replying.
I did make an attempt to contact Google support for this issue. Pretty lame steps they had me do, remove all BT devices , reboot, readd just Silverado (still failed) reboot phone in safe mode and try to connect ( failed) next they are asking me to do a factory reset on the phone or contact gm for help. I've never had any issues with BT in my truck till this phone. As a matter of fact I can connect find using my old devices.
I'll wait a few hours to see if you started a new thread if not I'm going to start one specific to Silverado and pixel BT.

Can confirm Bluetooth connectivity issues with Pixel on Buick Regal '12 (GM vehicle). I'll try it on Mazda CX5 '16 tomorrow but there is definitely something wrong with Pixel BT at the moment. I can pair it without issues but connection permanently drops within 2-3 seconds every time.
Before Pixel, I had iP6, N5X, N5, Galaxy Nexus all paired on this same car and running perfectly stable. Digging around forums, seems like N6P and Pixel have a lot of BT issues.
Paired just fine with my 2011 Hyundai sonata
My guess is the problem isn't with the Pixel, it's likely with the GM Bluetooth setup given that it seems to work with everything else.

I have a galaxy note 4 and a KIA optima... The car always says "pairing failed" and I reconnect, which only lasts a few days if I am lucky...
This post is an attempt to collaborate and figure out a way to "fix" this issue...
Anyone have any ideas or anything that gas helped them not have this issue?
replace the car
here is some solutions for that
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-note-4-problems/10/
I really wish I would have known about this. My Subaru Forester doesn't even recognize media over BT. Phone BT fucntionality works fine, but it won't play/connect to media at all. Both on 4.4 and 5.0/5.0.1.
Worked for my GNote 2 over various ROMs/stock, worked for the wife's GS3 and HTC One M8. It's really frustrating.
Replace the car? Its actually a pretty damn amazing car... Thanks for the lack of good input...
Your link was for devices not connecting.... Mine connects just fine...
But, and it just happened again.... I'll restart my phone and the Bluetooth device (the KIA) is gone... Not even listed as a paid device anymore...
Hard to say that's a KIA problem...
I have a 2015 kia optima lx, without the nav package or the upgraded audio. My note 4 on NIE has no problem pairing or staying paired. It pairs automatically everytime i turn the car on (I see the downloading icon on the radio). My gf's note 4 also pairs fine and works fine. The car switches between primary and secondary phones seemlesly.
And i agree. Amazing little car.. sorry i cant offer any other info, except "mine works".
I dont know what year or model you have, but maybe a trip to the dealer and ask about any firmware upgrades for your headunit. or maybe better yet a trip to www.optimaforums.com and see if anyone else is having issues like you describe.
Optimaforums has a wealth of info from fellow optima enthusiests. You might find your info there if none here can be of help.
Only Android phone that fully (messaging) works with my car. Even on Lollipop
So... Going over my issue... And want to see if others have the same issue... I may have a solution/workaround...
Basically I pair my phone with my kia stereo... It will work fine for a few days... Then it will fail to connect... When I go to Bluetooth settings on my phone, the kia stereo is no longer listed...
Do others have this same issue??
Anyone else stream music over Bluetooth having "skipping"? Every few minutes there is a second where the music skips. This is connected in my car, an Infiniti jx35. Did not have this issue with my note 4.

Mine streams fine to my Sony HTIB and head unit in my 2009 335i. I remember reading a while ago there's a chance if you can't upgrade the radios software it can have problems. Even though my old note 2 streamed just fine in my BMW it would lag hard in my grandmother's 2010 Durango and be unusable but phone was fine.
Yeah, I'm thinking it's the car. I bought a Bluetooth adapter for the aux port, and it works a lot better.

Yes- getting the skipping every few seconds in my Infiniti g37x. I believe this is a known android issue that isn't yet completely resolved. It's random for me, but even a reboot doesn't always fix it.
Perhaps a known issue for Infinity? I stream in my Kia Soul with no issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A
I did a factory reset and it works fine now. I'm thinking it's really an Infiniti thing for my car which is a 2012. I'm going to call them to see if there's a firmware upgrade for my car for bluetooth.
Also skips in Mercedes e350. I think it's the car blutooth
I called Infiniti to see if there was a firmware upgrade for Bluetooth, they said no. Said all my computer updates were up to speed.
Also, the stutter is back - even after a factory reset. Ugh

I just got mine today. I'll hook it up to my QX tomorrow and see if it works
listened to an audible book in my '12 Infiniti QX and didn't notice a broblem
Update to this skipping issue with my 2012 g37x Infiniti.
1. Took car to infiniti dealer. No bluetooth updates available. We even went through all firmware updates to see if anything might be useful. Nothing.
2. Got a second Samsung Note 5 - sadly was able to replicate the issue. Still stutters every few seconds exactly as the first Note 5. Tested in about a dozen audio apps.
3. Heard back from Infiniti - they're able to replicate the issue, but don't know if it's an Infiniti issue or a Samsung Note 5 issue. The engineers are looking into it.
My guess is that bluetooth tech has evolved since 2012 and the car's firmware just needs a tweak.
If you have any ideas, let me know. Thanks!
I don't think it's limited to infinity. I've been experiencing issues since the most recent OTA on all of my bluetooth devices, including my pioneer head unit in my jaguar, my bluetooth Rev jams headphones, and my Plantronics bluetooth earpiece.
In addition, I use a Gear Live smart watch and it's constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. These issues all started right after the update. There is a thread on android central about this as well so we are not alone. Samsung broke something and hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I am currently using an Note 4 and experience the same problem. Both with my car and my Jaybirds wireless earbuds. My guess, it's an Android problem as I've exhausted all methods of troubleshooting this.
Try this, keep your screen on and see if that resolves your skipping problem. It's a dumb solution but until Samsung/Android can resolve the problem, there are not a whole lot of options.
0 bluetooth issues with mine. 2015 car.
I'm having major issues all of a sudden. I've had the phone since launch day. And out of no where about 2 weeks ago I've had issues with the Bluetooth with all my devices from my 14 silverado stock radio and also with the new Alpine 957bt I put in here. Same issues as well as my LG tones and bose Bluetooth Speaker. Once I cover the phone with my hand or if it's in my pocket it cuts out constantly. I feel like it happened right after the recent ota update. I'll be reformatting the phone here soon once everything is backed up. So I know it's the phone for sure.
Update: Alright I did the restore in the phone it didn't work unfortunately I'm gonna try contacting Samsung and see what they can do.

Been having same issue and with WiFi it keeps connecting and disconnecting major issues with Bluetooth same as WiFi but also keeps skipping on music and when on phone the other end can not hear me tried 4 different devices
I had the same issue and had to send my note 5 to Samsung for repairs. They replaced the motherboard. I havent had the issue return.
Been using my Note 5 with a LG headset from new and no issues and a couple of weeks ago got a Gear S2 watch.
All good but all of a sudden getting skipping on the headset and Bluetooth dropping out on the watch.
Irritating must say.

Does anyone know of custom Roms for the OP3 that Android Auto works well on? I have tried OOS 3.1.3, unofficial CM13, and Bliss.
anybody?
Apparently not
I am using stock ROM and Android Auto is working fine. Except that sometimes I have to go to the car dashboard and activate the device for Android Auto. This does not happen all the time.
In my 2016 Golf 7 everything working like charm, no issues, less than with my S6 before...
That great! I also have a very golf and could not decide if I should buy or not the op3
LE: what cable are you using between the OP3 and the car ?
Well you two are the only ones I've heard of that aren't having issues with crashing/ disconnects. Consists yourselves lucky.

Hi, I will check which deck is there is my Chevy Volt 2016 and get back to you. From what I can recall, it is probably a Panasonic.
Just wanted to let everyone know who may come here searching for similar problems. I did finally get mine working with a different aftermarket cable. Have had no disconnects with AA or BT. Ironically it was a cable that will not even allow DASH charging but will work with Android Auto.
Ok, after 2 Weeks use, I have to say, that the only combination I get this to work without disconnects is with the original cable.
I tryed different cable from cableconnection over anker to belkin, none of them worked properly with op3... Some even get no connection at all, others disconnect connection after a while...
Only with the original cable I get this working properly... really strange...
I will make one test again this evening with original cable. Never used this since the update to 3.2.1, so perhaps this is the reason...
I'll let you know...
Does it mean that mirrorlink is supported by 1+3 in general?
Never had any luck with the factory cable as well as a third party cable. I did however try a third cable which has been working almost flawlessly.
For those interested it's this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013187HZS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_MbxGxbTJ8QTRK
Ok, verifyed..... Form me in My 2016 golf 7 only the original dash charge cable works without disconnects with 3.2.1.
I will order a second one now....
Don't know what is so different on this cable but something hast to be...

Very good news !!!! Thanks for taking the time to tell us.
Can I ask how you got this working? I'm getting frequent disconnects with the op2 cable and third party type c cables. Not tried the dash cable as yet
since I'm using CM13 never got any disconnecty on android auto.... perhaps OOS is the reason for that issue....
I'm not sure how big a part OOS plays. The cable i linked a few posts up has worked for me.
I get occasional disconnects too. Not that bad, but annoying at times. All it takes is unplug/plug the phone back to get it going (Pioneer AVH-4200NEX). Noticed that happens most often when I'm driving in an underground garage and the phone is seeking signal (2G especially). Cable I'm using is 3rd party Amazon sourced one (flat cable). I'll see if I can get a properly RF-shielded USB cable to see if it makes connection more reliable.

Ok, so I have a smart watch and wear it all the time. But, it seems I can't have the phone connected to my watch and my car at the same time. I came from a S7 Edge and there was never a problem and the phone would reliably connected to both, and it didn't matter if the connection involved my watch and speaker or car, it connected and everything was great. Now that I have the Pixel 2 XL, I cannot to both at the same time and the connection is not reliable to even one device. It will disconnect regularly from anything connected.
Well, I figured this odd considering the Bluetooth version in the Pixel 2 is more advanced than the S7, but apparently I'm wrong. I contacted Google regarding the issue and was told it can only connect to one device at a time. I'm not sure how it makes sense to not allow a Android Wear watch to be connected at the same time you're connected to another device, because that would make having smart watch pretty much useless since a whole lot of people would like to be able to get notifications on their watch while listening to music via connected Bluetooth speaker!?
Ok, so after receiving that answer I then addressed the fact that my phone won't reliably hold a single connection to my watch regardless of any other devices I'd ike to connect too. Here comes the typical trouble Shooting...(reboot, delete paired devices, wipe phone and start fresh), nothing changed. Customer service finally said I need a new device, and this is after spending nearly an hour talking to them. So I'm thinking "perfect!" The customer service representative told me how sorry they are and they want to make the process as easy as possible by shipping a brand new device to me, and when I get the new one, I can activate it and then send the defective device back to Google using a prepaid shipping label. She said I'll get an email with a link to finish the process and will be good to go soon, and even promised the new device would not have these issues.
Well...I got the email and clicked the link, but this brings me to an order that would says if be charged for the phone. I'm a little confused so I message the agent I spoke to and she said they will only put a hold on my funds for the $950, which would be removed once they receive the is device. Ok, I get that they are making sure they don't get caught up giving away a device if this cost, but it's a defective device,. And.... I'm not a rich person and that money is needed for the family and bills. I financed the phone for a 0% APR, which is basically free money, just in advance and don't have an extra $1,000 laying around or else I would have just purchased the phone up front.
Long post, but I want everyone get a full picture and then get opinions. Am I wrong to think I shouldn't have to let a company that provided me with a faulty device put a hold on so much of my money, (especially when it's only been about 2 weeks since I received the device) just to get a new, properly working device? I've would love some feedback and sorry for the long post.
I just think it's completely ridiculous and really ruined all the excitement I had about the phone and completely turned me off about the whole of the "Made By Google" idea... And I've literally bought a new Android phone every year since the very 1st Android phone, the G1. Maybe I'm going off the deep end with this and overreacting, but any time I've had an issue with an item that has a cost like this one does, they've done everything to make it right without causing me to adjust my budget, to simply get a replacement.
Anyway, please give me your thoughts on this!?

I rather have the advance replacement option instead of where I have to send the phone first. I'm in that situation right now and I'm not sure where my phone is. It didn't get scanned and it's been almost a week.
I have LG watch sport and my watch stays connected to my phone while connected to my car BUT there are caveats. If I press the BT button in my car it will connect to my phone but only gain media control. If I go into settings and manually connect my car it will have both media and phone functionality. It's an annoyance but I've gotten used to it.

Wow! So your phone can connect to "multiple" devices at the same time. That's interesting. I attached a screenshot of the conversation with Google where I was told that wasn't even possible. I really don't get why they are straight up lying to me. I suppose it's so they aren't admitting blame, but I sure would have felt a whole lot better if they just came clean about it.

Well, mine can't even do that. I find it crazy that my S7 could connect to both devices, on an older version of Bluetooth, so efficiently and this new Bluetooth 5 can't. I was so pumped when I got this phone... But that excitement is completely gone. I'm so disappointed I don't even know what to say! Lol

Gear S3 and Moto 2nd edition. Same issue in both, so I know it's not Samsung software.
Pixel 2
I own a pixel 2 and am able to pair my Xbox one controller, and an audio source primarily my headphones or speaker, simultaneously without any problem. Am able to even use both at once front 40-50 ft before I start getting any audio stuttering.
My pixel 2 XL stays paired with my Sony smartwatch 3 constantly. And I can also be connected to my car or work truck & my Jaybirds at the same time. So I can be connected to 3 devices at once. I can choose in Bluetooth settings which device to send media & calls to. And get my notifications on my watch at the same time. Isn't this as it should be. I understood that this phone could connect to up to 5 Bluetooth devices at once.
I switched from a S8+ to the Pixel 2 XL a while ago and noticed there are some bluetooth issues. I can connect to multiple devices, but the connection is not always reliable, or just won't reconnect automatically. I'm using a Gear S3 smartwatch and a Sony WH-1000XM2 bluetooth headset. Both devices have problems with reconnecting automatically.
I think it has to do with priorities, because if I have my smartwatch connected and enable my headset, the headset does connect sometimes and sometimes not. So, if it doesn't connect automatically and I do it by myself, my headset always states "no phone calls" and I don't have the battery bar of the headset. If I disable phone calls on my headset and reenable it again, it does connect automatically a few times and the battery symbol pops up. It seems my smartwatch and my headset are fighting, which one should handle calls.
hells
I have the LG Watch Sport myself, and it won't connect to my phone at the same time as my Sony bluetooth headphones. I haven't used the smart watch with the pixel 2 xl because of this very issue.
Why have a phone with not headphone jack, and a dodgy headphone connector that doesn't always work, and then make connecting to two bluetooth devices, so difficult?
Not sure if it helps ease your mind, but it wont be an actual charge just a hold authorization. Not sure if the device replacement will solve your issue though. if possible, get to a store and try to pair on a demo unit (remember to unpair after!)
I have an android wear watch which is connected all the time, and connect to other bluetooth devices with no problem. Lots of bluetooth devices connect without saying they are connected - my watch shows as paired but not connected when I'm playing through something else.

I know only 2 brands which allow to connect multiple calling devices. Apple and Samsung. All others sucks. Apple and Samsung will allow you to choose headphone, car, smart watch to answer or make call without digging in settings but just on call screen. All others won't let you to choose more than one calling device connected to bt.

I don't have issues connecting to multiple devices BUT my major issue is when I initiate a call from the phone I rarely ever can hear there either person. I end up having to turn off Bluetooth. I'll hear everything up until the person picks up the phone.
I have an LG watch sport. If I start the call from the watch I'm fine. I rarely make outgoing calls which is the ONLY reason why I'm about to tolerate this but when I do, I just want to toss the phone away.

I'm truly amazed at the shoddiness of the Pixel 2 XL's bluetooth performance. My last several phones were LGs and I never had any issues connected to devices or switching between multiple connected devices. With this sucker, I have to manually turn off my Beyerdynamic Byrons when I get near my car. Otherwise I have to go into the BT settings and select my car as the primary. There's no way to prioritize devices either...WTF are you doin' Google. My first and last google branded product. Sure quick updates and a lean OS are nice but not at the expense of functionality that's been part of smartphones for year. AND, I got a $300 discount from Verizon that's not really a discount. I have to finish the 2 years instead of paying the device off early. I'm a miserable camper with my mobile experience as a whole UGH!!!!
Try the app Bluetooth Auto Connect.
I am having tons of issues with Android P and the headphone adapters. When I was running dev preview 1 I had a strange issue where they worked with headphones, but not aux cables. I posted here and no one else was having issues so I just dealt with it for a bit. Then the beta came out and I upgraded. Everything started working again after that and I had no issues for a few days. Then it started acting up again. This time with headphones. It would randomly drop the headphones and start playing out of the speakers. Usually a reconnect or reboot would fix it. Then they just quit all together, nothing I did would make them work at all, headphones or aux. So I reflashed back to Oreo. All worked fine, so I upgraded back to the beta. Once again all was good until a few days and everything quit working again. That is where I currently am now. The other thing of note is that it has charging connected device via USB in the notifications. It seems to me that something changes and it starts seeing the adapters as some sort of USB device and not an audio adapter.
I also have 2 adapters and always test both with the same results. Is anyone else having issues? Could this be a hardware issue? I guess the next step is to go back to Oreo for a while and see if it happens there. Maybe it was just a coincidence that it happened when I upgraded.
I only had the issue on the first Dev preview where my aux cable would not play. On the second beta it is still working perfectly and I've been running it since it came out. I don't use headphones, so I have no tested it. I'd say no it is not a hardware issue and is just due to software issues with the beta. If you are worried about hard ware, go back to stock and see if you have the issue. If not, that will tell you it is the software and issues are expected as it is in beta.
I have tried some more steps. I flashed back to stock by opting out of the beta and it still didn't work. So I flashed back to stock with the factory image and that didn't work either. Now the same thing happens no matter what, it just says its supplying power to the device. I contacted support just to see what I could do about it. They are sending a new dongle to test. I do already have two, but it cant hurt to try another first. I suppose if that still doesn't work, the next step will be a new device.
I'd bet bad USB components. Can you connect to your computer? Bet it's not recognized.
Just got my second replacement for bad port. 1st one was smoking.
Second one behaved like yours.... no headphones or PC connection.

Im in the same boat as you. It's suspicious that a lot of people had the same problem.. I dunno if its a HW problem..
I started to have this problem last night. Very frustrating.

Yeah, it seems like that has started to go too. Tested it and windows says device unrecognized. Still seems to be charging for now.
Frustrating
Ever since the last update it stoped working all together.
This is so frustrating.
