Semi-stock 5.1.1 and bluetooth media sound problem - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I'm running DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM that is based on Stock 5.1.1 Lollipop.
I have a problem with bluetooth and my handfree carkit (Parrot Mki9000).
It used to work fine with KitKat.
Now, when my z1c auto-connect to this, the "Media sound" is disabled. I have to manually check its checkbox and the media sound connect & works (like music streaming or navigation voice).
The strange thing is that this happens only with my bluetooth carkit. When I use any other bluetooth device, "Media sound" is active at connection.
As I wrote above, it used to work a few days ago when I was running KitKat. I already tried to remove the device from the bluetooth menu and reconnect.
I would like to avoid any other 3rd party app from the google play (except Tasker, that unfortunately could not help here).
Is this some sort of know problem? Is there a permanent fix?
Thanks for any hints.
MJ

Bluetooth - how it handles calls / media

Hi all
I have the following setup:
Desire
Aux Input (for music)
SuperTooth One BlueTooth Hands Free
When I drive, I use the HTC Desire to play the sat nav instructions and music out of the Aux to the stereo however, if I enable Bluetooth, all music and commands are sent through the Bluetooth receiver instead.
On the iPhone, you have the option to route audio through headphones socket or through the BT device - but cannot find out how to do it on the Desire.
Are there any applications that make it possible to route calls out via BT and everything else out over the Aux?
I would really like this functionality too.
One option for you, is to long press the Supertooth in your Desire's bluetooth device list, and edit the options so that it's not a media bluetooth device but only a phone bluetooth device.
Thanks - didnt know about that option!
Does this option actually work for anyone?
I'm connecting to the bluetooth in my Mazda and every time I uncheck Media, it just re-checks it every time I reconnect.

Im new to Android so Im not sure which 'version' people reference when sharing firmware versions but my 'software number' is 1.21.405.2 and 'build number' 1.21.405.2CL174215release-keys if that helps anyone out who perhaps ISNT having this problem...

[Q] Bluetooth requires Media Audio to connect / way to route sound not over BT?

I have an unrooted 4.2.1 Galaxy Nexus, and the only way I can keep the Bluetooth connection to my car active is to have 'Media Audio' enabled in the settings for it. I know that there is Bluetooth issues, and know issues where the phone connects and disconnects constantly. However, what that means is when I use Google Navigation, any voice guidance is sent through the Bluetooth connection, so unless my stereo is on the BT Audio connection, I get no sound. This was why I had Media Audio enabled.
Anyone know of a workaround for this so I can get voice guidance working again through the phone speakers, or even a method by which the Bluetooth will remain connected without hat setting enabled?
Also add, same as many others, only became a problem with 4.2 and following.

'Play phone audio' option not working/choosable

Since a couple of weeks my phone does not play audio through any carkit I tried. The Bluetooth settings had the play media audio checked on, but not the play telephone audio option. When I want to choose that option I simply can't. It is immediately unchecked again.
Tried reset cache, new pairing, unknown carkit, change phonename, factory reset, several Bluetooth managers but I am out of options. Does somebody else have?

i've got this too. i recently updated a whole bunch of google stuff and i can't check the 'phone audio checkbox' in android 6.0 in multiple bluetooth devices--car, speaker, and hands-free kit. i'm pretty sure it was caused by a google update of some kind. i miss my windows phone so much right now.
ok, i just uninstalled android pay and the bluetooth phone audio works. i need to test it more to see if that was the issue.

Automatic bluetooth connection with HFP

Hello, I have some problems with the bluetooth connection to my Seat Leon (2016). Pairing worked fine but once I return to my car only the A2DP profile gets connected. In the car menu media control is working correctly but the phone part is shown as disconnected. The bluetooth connection state in the phone settings shows "connected (no phone)" then.
To fix this I have to manually disconnect and reconnect bluetooth on the phone - afterwards everything is working as expected. This is very annoying though and I had no such issues with my previous Nexus 6P (stock 8.1).
Any suggestions? If there is no solution I try to fix this with tasker, however I'd clearly prefer a "native" solution.
Thanks in advance.
Seems like it's working with the app Bluetooth Auto Connect, will test it more intensively in the next days. But I'm still wondering why it's not working out of the box...

What custom rom bypass car audio bt issues?

Hi all,
like many 5T users I bothered problems with bluetooth connection in car audio system (spotify and calling). I've tried everything what I found on forums (downgrading software, clearing cache, energy settings etc.) but with no success. Finally I red somewhere that problem is OOS itself and custom rom should do the work. My question is: what custom rom should I use (on my earlier phone (samsung note 3) I used Ressurection ones)? Did someone tried this way and could tell about results?
Im on cnp and everything seems fine when I connect to my truck.
Thank You for fast reply, but did You experience bt problems on car audio system earlier (with official oos)? And what is cnp?

Codename Phoenix rom
What problems? I've been running oos all long and no issues with my car bt.
Problems with bt connectivity (spotify does not work - stuttering and disconnects and calling also). On official forum it's a popular problem and has many potentially solution. None works for me so far.
Many problems with my car BT (mercedes w211) with TugaPower ROM (now on v26.0)
After the initial connection car reports no (mobile) signal but I can manually dial. Automatic / voice dialing does not work.
Almost on every call BT disconnects and I have to redial. I make the call and few seconds into it, it drops call back to the phone with the car radio reporting "waiting for BT connection"
I tried to look into the logcat but I see no related error(s).
I'm also looking for a good rom that works with my car BT.
