Bluetooth cannot pair original car device - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Hey there, I have trouble to pair Bluetooth of pixel 3 XL to my car.
Device info:
64GB pixel 3 XL black, unlock version, no root
Mazda CX-4 ver 2018, original Mazda Connect system, system ver. GW3M-41-018.1-M (this car is only available in China and no oversea edition, so I think this system is also customized.). Support Carplay but not Android auto.
Trouble description:
1. open pixel bluetooth to hold on
2. open Mazda connect bluetooth setting, ready to pair
3. pixel to choose new device, tap 'MAZDA' on screen
4. Mazda connect prompt a note with 6 digit pin and disappear less than 0.5 sec so that I cannot press screen/button to confirm
5. while pixel prompt a modal of same 6 digit pin, after tapping pair. This modal quit and prompt out 'cannot pair' info. After this note disappear, the last modal (seems like it comes first and hide in background) shows 'cannot pair due to wrong pin'
6. After double checking car manual, this device is an old ver bluetooth and its default pin have a limit of 4 digit.
So I cannot go out this bad loop after several trials.
Other phones works well like iphone 6s, huawei etc.
It's so embarrassed to use it in car. Now I use pixel to share wifi to my old ios connecting by carplay, but I still want to make the bluetooth function well and get rid of ios.
I have send feedback to Google but still no response. Is there anyway to fix it?

Thanks for your reply. I have tried to install android auto following this video (youtube tag:
ocOvY6Q7NNo, cannot post url) with MZD-AIO-TI_Setup_2.8.1, but failed... The head unit could read usd, but not auto run the script inside.
Have tried to connect when NFC off, still not work and I will inquiry car supplier later. Also heard someone in buyer group saying he cannot pair it to his BMW too.
It is really tricky and I will keep update this issue.

So sorry you are having issues. I have a Relatively new Kenwood Unit - I forget the model) when I first got the pixel Xl 3, initially I had problems getting it to be recognized - but once I figured out where the setitngs were for setting things up - it connected fine and now I don't have any issues - I can connect both wirelessly and via usb - wireless takes a bit longer - USB happens right away - I hope you can get things working for you....

does the bluetooth pairing request problem exist on the note 2?

currently have the gs3 thinking of getting the note 2. on the gs3 with the stock jellybean roms there is a problem that there is bluetooth pairing request every time you pair with a device, even if you have paired with that device before. it does not just connect automatically each time you must fill the request to connect.
does this happen with note 2?
No problem here pairing with a samsung headset and also a nokia one. No repeated request filling.
But of course there are lots of other problems with bluetooth (at least for me), especially with S voice control. Let's say the bluetooth experience on this phone is not stellar... Hoping these things will get better with time :angel:
Hi,
Paired my bluetooth once and going fine since then. Never asked to pair again.
Cheers!!

i picked up the note 2 here in the US today...unfortunately it seems we have to pair bluetooth every single time. really sucks. every time i connect to my appradio2 i get i have to confirm the passkey to connect. there is no way around it that i can see and my previous phone the gs3 running cm10 never had this problem. could there possibly be someting i'm missing as to why it asks to confirm the passkey every time?

Hello sir,
I'm also having this same situation when connecting my N7100 to the car audio.
I think this is because the Bluetooth function on N7100 Jelly Bean is in invisible mode (Only visible for 2 Minutes with Default Setting).
Try to change the Visible Time Out on Bluetooth settings to "Never Time Out".
Hope this help.:silly:
Maybe a work around
Hello,
You might have the problem with "old" and "new" pairing method and these don't get on quite well. The problem is that you can't make the pairing code permanent.
You might want to try this work around and see if it works (I'm not sure but I managed to pair the ICS BT in my wifes car this way):
- Turn BT on on your phone and prepare it to send a picture or a contact by BT
- Put the device you want to pair with your Note in pairing mode (so it can be discovered by the Note)
- Now send the contact/image from the Note to the device you want to pair.
- The note will start searching for devices and you chose the device you need once the phone found your device
- Now the notification bar on the phone should prompt for the BT connection and you have the option to put in the code and check the "Do not ask anymore" option. After hitting OK your code should be permanent.
This method was found by a Master Brain called Rayer and he published it on a XPeria forum; you can hit the "Thank You" button anyway if it helps you

[Q] Fiat/Alfa Blue&Me and galaxy Nexus

Hello,
Has anyone sucessfully paired a galaxy nexus (running latest stock 4.3) with Fiat/Alfa Blue&Me (1st gen) and have it functional?
I have tried everything that went to my mind. I have upgraded the car Blue&Me to the latest version (5.6), and that allowed me to pair the phone, former versions didn't even work for pairing. However, even though it's paired, it only says "connected" for a few (2-3) seconds and I am not asked for access to the contact book. When trying to call, I get "try again later".
Thanks for your suggestions.
I tried 4.2.2 and 4.0.4, same behavior.
I tried on a N5 running 4.4, same
OK, I got it working, I will explain here the steps I took so it may help someone.
- First upgrade your car blue&me to the latest available version: http://www.blueandme.net/blueandme/index.aspx#/support/download/
Follow the instructions to the letter, never remove the memory stick until you car tells you to do it.
- Next, pull the blue&me fuse out for 10 minutes to allow windows to fully shut down (on an Alfa Mito, the fuse it F36)
- Then put the fuse back, and go into the blue&me menu, select settings and do a full factiry init of the system
- Pull the fuse again for 10 minutes to be sure windows will do a clean start
- Remove the blue&me pairings you had on your phone if any, and disable android beam
- Pair the phone like you used to do.
Blue&Me pairing issue
I am having the same issue with my OnePlus One. The BT system of my car (2009 Fiat Bravo) just won't communicate with my phone. It says "connected" forever, and doesn't get any further. My previous phone got paired easily and transferred the phone numbers, but it is not happening to my new phone. Frustrating.
Now I see you have posted some instructions. Maybe there is help for me too.
Someone can make sms reader working with an android device ? Audio and contacts works.

Got it!
I also had a problem connecting my OnePlus Two to my Giulietta Blue & Me, but I finally got it to work - and without pulling out fuses. Huge thanks to @renaud for his guide above.
In case it's useful, this is what I did.
- updated the Blue & Me to the latest version
- on my phone, forgot the bluetooth entry for Blue & Me
- went to settings > user data > delete all
- settings > user pairing
- on my phone, selected Blue & Me, typed in the code
- Again, as previously, the car said that it worked, and the phone said connected for a couple of seconds but then disconnected
- I then clicked on the Blue & Me entry on the phone to force it to reconnect. It connected, but then disconnected.
- I did it again, and in the few seconds that it was connected, I think I tried to select Phonebook on the car
- Anyway, some combination of repeatedly getting the phone to connect and clicking about on the car suddenly got it to stick.
A pain in the neck, but now that it's connected, it seems to work perfectly.
Good luck!

I don't have a Mazda, but have the Verizon M8 and have no issues pairing my phone for both calls and audio, regardless of whatever ROM I've tried. Your car is three years old, so I suspect the problem is there. I would take it into Mazda and see if there is a software update for their entertainment/bluetooth. Also, if you've paired up your phone to anything else previously (headphones, speaker, etc.) you might want to delete those pairings before trying to set it up again. If none of those things work, then you might be out of luck unless you want to upgrade your car stereo. There are many instances where certain devices/cars just don't work well together, but the M8 has the latest bluetooth release available. Good luck.
Thanks for the support and for helping find the Solution!

Think you for your fast response, so I called up my dealership and they said they don't have any updates for my stereo.
But I did find a solution YAY!
1. keep one of the failed pairs in your phone
2. download "Bluetooth Connect and Play"
3. Here are the settings you want:
Bluetooth Receiver is [ON]
when this bluetooth device connects...
[*] Mazda
4. Click the 3 dots in the corner and click "Tweaks"
5. Heres what you want:
When trigger player
(*) Start player on basic bluetooth connect only
Seconds to wait 0
everything else unchecked
6. Make sure all other connections are deleted from your car and then set the car to pair while the code 0000 is on the screen go to your bluetooth settings and delete "Mazda" then click "Mazda" when it comes up enter 0000 and then bluetooth connect and play will come up and music will start playing
7. music will stop and it will ask you to name the device.. cool
8. enjoy wireless music

MIUI 11.0.3 Bluetooth connection problem

Dear All,
I have bought this phone 1 week ago but I have problem with the bluetooth connectivity. When I would like to connect the phone to a bluetooth car device the pairing code request dialog not shows up and because of this the pairing fails. Do you have any solution for this? With Redmi Note 4 (MIUI 11.0.2.) the car works well. I tried it with other car devices but there was the same problem.
Thank you in advance!!!!:fingers-crossed:
Try going to Settings-Apps-Manage apps-Bluetooth and Clear data-Clear all data. It helped me for some time but now Bluetooth problems appear again and I have to do it every time after answering the call while listening to music via Bluetooth.

Hi! try changing your AVRCP version from 1.4 to 1.6 in developer options
Thanks for reply! Unfortunately it does not work! The pairing request dialog window is still not popping up...

Maybe you need te change the bluetooth notification priority to high and maybe check permisions.allow it to show on home screen etc
Thank you for everyone! I found the problem! The app of my bluetooth watch caused the problem, after uninstalling it the bluetooth works again.
I face a similar problem with skoda car infotainment.
In my case pairing is successful but on the first call connection breaks. Even if connection is broken and car's infotainment starts seeking for a Bluetooth connection Redmi note 8 thinks it is still connected and it stucks there. when connection breaks a message pops up that reads something about AVRCP not supported and redmi note not responding
A have unpair both devices many times but same thing happens again and again.
I have to point that i came from a Redmi note 6 pro, where EVERYTHING regarding bluetooth connections and multiple connections were operated just fluently. I have redmi note 8 just 2 days
On redmi note 8 are always connected an amazfit stratos and a meizu ep51 handsfree and there are some other apps installed like mifit.
Do you thing that i should start first by unistalling all apps?
i unistalled amazfit app and it seemed that was getting better but i assume that phone it cannot deal with multiple bluetooth connections. Unforunately it cannot managed android auto (wired connection) and car infotaimnet (bluetooth connection). On the first call connection drops.
I flashed a custom ROM- based on China roms- but things didnt got better. Having both redmi not 6 pro (which handles all bluetooth connections just fine- even transfering active call via bluetooth headset to the car infotainment as soon as it establishes a bluetooth connection while i am getting into the car) and Redmi note 8 on developer options i copy all setting from Redmi note 6 pro to Redm note 8 but all issues are still there.
I wonder if it can be used the bluetooth app from the Redmi note 6 pro to the redmi note 8 but i dont have the knowledge to do it
I have the same problem. It sucks that redmi note 3 which i had before worked 100% ok...
All these issues make phone quite useless considering that everyone goes wirelessly. I wonder if this disappointing case is claimable from Xiaomi.
just noticed the same problem, both of my RN8pro bluetooth mac is 00:00:46:00:00:01 which is nonsense.
maybe you all got the same mac as mine, which is generic mac.
How can I check Bluetooth mac address ? Do I think there is something can be done?
Settings > about phone > all specs > status.
There's a bluetooth mac near the bottom.

I checked my Redmi note 8. It's seems normal, 28:16:7f:b5:65:2b is it?
MIUI 11 - Android 10 version?
The only workaround i found is to keep one connected bluetooth device at a time. So before i get into my car i have to disconnect bluetooth headphones and reconnect them after. Bluetooth management of Redmi note 8 is a big mess. I assume that is a phone's hardware problem its incapability to manage two or more bluetooth connections simultaneously.
I contacted Xiaomi customer care regarding bluetooth issues and i was finally asked to perfrom a test. I wonder how a test could resolve it
In the attached screenshot in developers options the max connected audio devices option is 2 but it's deactivated so i cannot changed it eg to 3. Could it be the solution to bluetooth connectivity issues? Is there any way to activate this option and change it?
Bluetooth not working
Hi ,

Question One Plus 9 Pro Anddroid 11 Wireless Android Auto Problems

Hello to everyone! I drive a Hyundai bayon 22. my phone is one plus 9 Pro android 11. when i press the command key from the car it says oops something went wrong please try again later. but when I unlock the phone and press the command key again, it executes the command and it works perfectly. I have this problem only when the phone screen is locked. Does anyone know about the solution?
Been using android auto wireless for a while now. I've noticed that it takes a minute for it to connect and you'll get an error message until it does. Keep in mind wireless android auto uses Bluetooth and wifi to connect, so both should be on and have a good mobile data connection. A12 is slightly better regarding connection speed and overall android auto performance imo. I haven't run into an issue having to unlock phone although. Is it possible to update the firmware on the head unit in your vehicle?
