Vehicle Bluetooth with Moto360?

Hey all I've had my 360 for a few months now and just started noticing a problem. When I have my watch connected to my phone my phone has a hard time connecting to my Chrysler Uconnect in my stereo. I can't tell if it's a phone problem, Uconnect problem or the watch. It'll drop connection from the car on and off and sometimes not connect at all. I'm pretty sure the watch stays connected the whole time. Once I disconnect the watch, the car connection works just fine.
Anyone else run across this?

These issues are seen with lollipop on phone....
or some people whose phone is moto x or one plus one

It's a Bluetooth low energy issue. Same exact problems with my nexus 5 and my pebble, also exists with my nexus 6 and moto 360. It's very very annoying as it appears to be an issue with android itself somehow. I'm hoping with more Google engineers using wear and a nexus they'll get annoyed and finally fix it...

i have no such issues with pairing a nexus 6 connected to a moto 360 in the ride.
i mainly use poweramp and the connection to the HU is a few seconds SLOWER than i noticed on the htc one max i used prior, but it connects and displays the music data on the ride with no issue. steering wheel buttons also work normally.
stock and not rooted. both devices.

It seems to be select car kid or a2dp devices. My car has the issue but not my Bluetooth speaker. So the Bluetooth device also matters somehow

Were the other Roms aosp or TW? Maybe it's an aosp specific issue

Just got a Moto 360 this week-end and in the car on the way home, my phone calls over bt to my BMW dropped repeatedly. Would connect and disconnect. Rebooted my phone, same issue. Did not happen with original galaxy gear. This is a deal breaker from me. My phone is a stock Samsung Note 4. No car phone issues with a Striiv Touch.

I have an older TomTom Toyota Head-Unit on my Toyota Yaris, and it doesn't support Bluetooth Audio. But bluetooth phonecalls are working exactly as before pairing the Moto 360 to my HTC One.

I just disconnect my watch when I get in the car. Annoying that I have to do that.

Android Auto with OnePlus 3 running Oxygen 3.1.2

Anyone had any luck or tried their new Oneplus 3 with Android Auto yet? I have been unable to get mine to connect with the factory USB type C cable on my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. My Oneplus One running Sultans CAF 13.0 ROM runs no problem. This could be enough to make me return this new OnePlus 3 honestly. I really rely and love Android Auto.

unlock bootload and flash cm13, since sultans rom runs off of CM13 and see if that works

Sultan has not made a ROM for Oneplus 3, or else I would definitely do that. I am watching the threads with other CM 13 authors but seems a little too early to jump in on any of those.

OK I have tried Resurrection Remix Official which is a CM based ROM, still no luck (Very nice ROM with a ton of features BTW) Have some Type C cables and adapters on the way from Amazon, maybe it is the factory cable?? If anyone has had success or issues would love to hear from you, I can't be the only one

Come on guys, Android Auto is a must these days....how can we make it work ?

Glad I saw this thread before I bought. If Android Auto will not work on it then I'll gonna pass on it. Hope they get it working in time as I do want this phone.

I did have similar issues with ROM's when I first got my AVH-4100NEX and my Oneplus One, luckily I just kept trying a few different ROM's until one worked. Never figured out what the issue was but now most I have tried have worked with the One. Just being so new there are only so many to try with the Oneplus 3 at this point.
I have contacted Oneplus about it, they don't even know what I am talking about, they just keep replying that they can't guarantee the phone to work with all bluetooth devices. I have told them twice now it is not the Bluetooth, in fact my Bluetooth has been fine. It is only when the cable is plugged in. I have made some progress on the latest ROM I have tried, it now says Android Auto is connected on the phone, notification, BUT...it isn't because I do not get the 2nd notification I am used to saying the phone is in car mode AND the Android Auto button on the head unit is not lighting up.
Tried multiple cables now, and known working micro USB cables with type C adapters now. Same results. It's either the phone or the ROM. Next thing I am going to try is a different version if GAPPS specifically play services, since everything uses it it would appear.

I was able to get my OnePlus 3 connected to my Seat Leon with Android Auto a few times after I plugged it in and out dozens of times, did some restarts of the OPO3 and the media unit, plus some tinkering with the USB MTP and notification access settings. But it was never stable, longest lasting connection was about 15 minutes long, than it crashed again. The overall success rate for connecting is about 1 of 10 times. So altogether not usable...

The question is on the official 1+ forums also and they are ignoring it.
I'm guessing there will be no AA support.
Oh well, The Axon 7 is being released soon and hopefully it will work there.

I tried it on my golf 7 and it was working fine then a couple minutes later it started freaking out. Kept connecting and disconnecting in a loop. Seemed like an issue android auto had when I first got the car with my Nexus 6 but was eventually fixed with an update to AA.

Forgot to mention that I was using it with a micro USB cable with an adapter on it. Also I should try it again because a lot of things seem to have some issues on first use with this phone. If not I'll try one plus cable.

So with an adapter, it didn't do this? Only when you used the original cable?

Work around accord 2016
I had a tough time getting Android Auto working with my Honda accord 2016. All other phones worked fine except the op3.
Finally was able to get it to work. Here is what i did:
1. Enable developers options
2. Connect the phone to the car while the car is on
3. Go to developers options and under "select USB configuration" pick "MIDI"
Then Android Auto connects to the car. It is really disappointing to see the bugginess of the phone. I really like the hardware. But the software is s**t. If I wasn't past the return date I would have gotten a different phone. Oh well at least I got it to work for now. Hopefully op will release an update to fix the glitches.
Had connected to support and asked them about Android Auto support before i figured out the work around. They flatly stated that Android Auto is not a supported feature. Support was supposed to be added in "a few weeks". Don't know how long weeks are in OP land
Cheers and hope this helps someone

Ah you used midi? I tried mtp but that didn't work. The latest release fixed the issue of it not saving the selected USB mode. It always reverted to charging

Bluetooth question on streaming information

Just curious why Bluetooth on this phone doesn't display the streaming information across the radio (Uconnect if it matters). My sons s8+ does it as well as my previous Note 8. Just curious if theirs something I'm not doing right.

I've got the same issue. Its not just you.
I'm connecting to a Honda bluetooth system, if that makes a difference.

After 8.1, it works better with my BMW at showing the data, but it's hit or miss. It also stops working if you switch music apps, so only the first one works.

It's because everyone implements Bluetooth items differently and there isn't a "standard" that everyone uses for even basic stuff. Since phone manufacturers implement things differently, device & car manufacturers also need to try and accommodate all the various implementations.

Well I'm still waiting on the Verizon OTA. But i definitely don't like the lack of info on the screen. I have the note sorting beside me... Test driving both... And send like such a simple thing.

Actually, for this kind of thing there is a standard called AVCRP, and the Pixel should support 1.4, but it seems to be the buggiest implementation ever since Android 7

Try adjusting the AVRCP version.

Wireless Android Auto on Pixel 3 XL

Has anyone been able to connect wirelessly to the Android Auto in their car? I have a Honda CR-V 2017 and it connects with the USB cable, but not wirelessly. I have tried all settings multiple times but cannot figure out why it won't connect. I was under the impression that Pixel 3 XL phones had this capability. Can anyone share if they have it working, particularly on a Honda CR-V 2017. If so can you share your settings?

I have a 2018 crv and 2018 accord and I didn't think that could be done. I connect with usb on both.

The wireless connection is a car feature not a phone feature. Very few makes support at the moment

I guess I thought most new cars which have Android Auto would be able to connect wirelessly. I thought it depended on the phone model instead.

It depends on both, really. The phone and car both have to support it. Phones (like the Pixel 3/XL) have the ability now, but very few head units (especially OEM from car manufacturers) support it. A few aftermarket units are starting to get it, but it's still very few.

I bought a Kenwood HU that has wireless AA and to be honest I'm disappointed. It works half the time and usually I end up just plugging it in cause it's quicker than messing around with my phone trying to get it too work

I have a pioneer 4400nex and wifi Android auto works flawlessly. Love it.

I have the 8400nex and it works well too and I used the cars speed signal to control the volume and the screen works well. The Kenwood screen was not sensitive enough and had dust under the screen and had trouble connecting but it did auto switch between the front and back camera when backing up and then driving forward. Not a big deal but cool. Both the new ones got rid of the camera mirroring and backup lines that the pervious units had. Can't win but overall the Pioneer is better.

Bluetooth won't pair with GPS sensor

Hi,
I am using a PX5 head unit:
Android 9
Model: RK3368
Build Number: rk3368 userdebug 9 PQ2A.190305.002 eng.hct.20190509.101541 test keys
Kernerl version: 4.4.167
MCU Version: MTCE_KSP_V3.07_1
CPU: Octa Core cortex [email protected]
Memory 3940 MB
I'd like to pair a Garmin GPS sensor via Bluetooth. The sensor's firmware is at the latest release.
The Head unit is paired with my Note 10+. I can pair the sensor with Samsung Note or Ipad, but I can't do that with the PX5
there is no message, it just doesn't connect. Is there anyway to diagnose what's happening, or things I could try to make that work?
Thanks a lot
Chris

Hi Chris
Bluetooth seems to be very limited when it comes to Android head units. You will see around the forums of people complaining about it. I have 5 OBD II dongles and out of the 5 only 2 work via Bluetooth on the unit yet all work with Bluetooth on my phones.
Problem being also you can't use an external Bluetooth dongle to compensate.
The only suggestion I can give is to connect you GPS to your phone and then tether your phone via mirroring it to your unit so you use the mirrored image from your phone. Other than that you will need to just go with what GPS the unit already has.
My PX6 unit has a good GPS unit that works flawlessly. Speed from GPS is exactly the same as my Speedo and also my phone.

Thank you for your advise, my GPS unit takes 5 minutes to get a fix when coming from underground parking, the external sensor takes less than 20 seconds and is way more accurate. The thing is, that the accuracy, even for off road driving is no issue for me, it is the time until I receive a signal. I will investigate the mirroring part, to find out if this is feasible or not. It's just annoying to have the unit and then mirror my phone.
Thank you
Chris

Have you got an app on your head unit called easy connect or easy connection?
If you have, then you can use that for mirroring. All you will need to do is activate developer settings on your phone and then turn on debugging. Use your oem lead for your phone and plug it in to your head unit usb socket. It should automatically detect your phone. On your phone you should be given the default option for usb when it's plugged in, just choose charge only then you should be good to go. It also will automatically install the necessary app on your phone.
Make sure that the app on the unit is also upto date.
Good luck
Terry
