Is it possible to tether my bb bold (4g newest one) by bt tether if so how. Also I can't get my tab to pair up with Ford sync for audio...for audio or sometimes long road trips movies for the little ones in the back seat

I have a new Pioneer Elite receiver showing up soon and I also picked up the bluetooth adapter for it. What i want to do is be able to stream music from the TF to the receiver from outside (using my zone 2 outdoor speakers). Since the receiver is inside this would allow to play music from outside which would be ideal. However I cannot get any good info on what is really possible. I tried Pandora last night and got no option to stream? Will options show up once I make the bluetooth connection? Anyone who has paired multimedia devices to the TF please chime in and let me know how your experience was. Thanks!
Wifi connectivity seems to not recover well when waking the device. In fact, i have to keep it from going to sleep when it's mounted on my dash in the car so i don't lose the wifi link from either my RAZR or MiFi while driving. i have WiFi sleep policy set to never and it still does it.
In regards to Bluetooth it's much better than my original Galaxy Tab, where when i tried to do music via BT to the car's stereo (BT FIPO adapter to 30-pin ipod dock adapter on car's cd changer input), plus connection to an OBDII Bluetooth adapter (Torque app) - it would have frequent stutters.
With this 7 Plus, i can be SIMULTANEOUSLY connected to both BT devices and switch between Spotify, Mortplayer, Navigation, Torque w/ no stuttering or lag. Also nice that now my car's steering wheel controls actually work better going through the BT on the FIPO to the ipod adapter (only track next/last toggle).
I wish Navigon and CoPilot didn't crash/lag so much, though.
Also the Stowaway folding bluetooth keyboard i used to use with my old UMPCs works well with this tablet.
My wifi would disconnect constantly when I was in a different room than the router. I used a wifi analyzer to view the channels and had the router use a channel that wasn't as busy. Works a lot better now. But I had no issues before hand with any other device.
I've turned off the power save due to the Linux kernel bug and dealing with the sleep of death bug. Helps wifi too you might want to try it out.
I'm not sure when these problems started (which ROM or version or even which phone) but it's pretty consistent now. I have a Jabra Cruiser that doesn't connect regularly. If it doesn't connect I have to re-pair the device to my SGS4G (currently Valhalla-Black Edition). Often it doesn't pair the first or second or third time, which sort of defeats any safety benefits as I am fumbling with the phone and speaker while I drive.
So what I am wondering is the following:
Is anyone using this device successfully and consistently with the SGS4G?
Are there settings to clear for Bluetooth pairings that might help?
Is there a Bluetooth speakerphone for the car that people like?
I have an older car (2006 audi a4). It does not support multi media Bluetooth connection. What ones work well with the s5?
Currntly have a Satechi sound fly, but it stopped working just now. Plus I always had to manually connect to it once entering the car. Would like to get one that connects automatically. I only need it for multi media. Phone connection goes direct to the car.
Thanks.
I use Motorola Roadster 2 in my 2000 BMW 328i, it does the autoconnect your talking about too as long as your bluetooth is turned on.

I have an 05 TSX with the same problem and searched High and low for a solution...
GromAudio is a website, add .com to it. (Sorry new user i cant post links to it.)
I got this and i couldnt be happier FLAWLESS bluetooth integration. Steering wheel controls work, it worked spotty with My GS3 but since the switch to the GS5 im in heaven.
Running the AT&T Variant and though audio and controls work fine in my car once paired the phone is not pairing upon seeing my car stereo.
My LG V10 worked flawlessly in this regard, usually withing 10 seconds of starting the car.
I've tried bluetooth auto connect and tasker but they only work if I toggle bluetooth while the car is on.
If I toggle bluetooth without either of those installed I just get the pop up showing there is a device available and it has about a 30% success rate at connecting.
There is also an issue every few times where even if it connects the skip buttons do not work and no track title is displayed.
It won't connect to my BMW at all!!! What a holy crap.

I tried Samsung Music and Play Music. I verified Media Audio under BT was enabled. Mercedes Benz 45 AMG.
I have a Toyota and it connects flawlessly, T-Mobile variant. I can even go to the car while it's in the garage and leave my phone in the house and it's still connected to the car.
Strange, mine connects instantly (Ford Falcon - Aussie car).
Mine will connect with my car (Kenwood unit) flawlessly. I have to fiddle with it in my other car (Jeep with UConnect), while the wife's S7 works with both.
I've yet to figure out how to get it to auto open Pandora or anything when it connects. My Note 4 and LG V20 both did this seamlessly
Appears to be a "known" issue with S8 - see this thread : https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...id/GS8QA/highlight/false/page/1/thread-id/299

I've tried so many times. even reset cache, Bluetooth cache etc. It adding and then disappearing from both- car and phone. I think it is got something to do with contact sharing but this box never pop out.
I had this problem with the S6 and my HTC Stereoclip (BT to AUX adapter for cars), I had to manually pair it every-time and it was one of the reason why I came back to HTC, now I got the S8 and apparently it's the same problem.
Some BT devices auto-connect but not others
