It seems that my car only recognizes the media portion of my S3 over Bluetooth. When I go to pair it, my phone shows my car as headphones only, no phone. Is this a problem with my phone or my car? I have a Mazda CX-5.
Anyone? Bueller?
It does that by default....I have a Mazda 3. After connecting to the car go into the bluetooth settings on your phone and there should be an option to connect the phone as well.
I've done that and it still can't pick it up.

Was wondering how i can set my device to auto-connect with my Pioneer stereo.
This is the initial problem:
I pair my Raphael with my Pioneer car stereo - When I initially pair the BT to my stereo i get hands free and wireless stereo, however after this when my phone connects it only connects to the hands free. IT WILL NOT CONNECT AGAIN UNLESS THE PARTNERSHIP IS DELETED AND RE-ADDED - it will not pair if i click "set as wireless stereo" in the bluetooth settings of the phone, or when I click play on my car stereo.
I want when the phone so that when it comes into range of my stereo that it auto connects to both A2DP and hands free, I also want this to be automatic, ie not using A2DPToggle.
Any help would be appriciated
Thanks in advance,

a2dp problem
same problem here... i have to delete the device everytime,refresh, search and reconnect to use the a2dp function. handsfree for calling mobile works fine..
need some help.. may be a little tweak in the bluetooth function..
thanks
Same here most times - although occasionally it works OK... very annoying!
You might check your Pioneer manual. I have a Sony BT CD player and I have to push the number 6 on the head unit to reconnect it everytime I get in my car. I wish it automatically connected but this is quite easy for me. I would have never figured it out if I didn't read the manual.
I have checked the manuals and there is no mention of needing to push anything on the deck. I want my phone to auto connect - i know that this must be possible to do when it connects with my hands free as a2dp Toggle does it, but you have to press a button on the prog that connects it , I want it to be automatic
yeah, ive always had that problem with my pioneer headunit
Same problem for my TP with Jabra Speakerphone. any update?

Goto your Bluetooth settings and enable "Make this device visible to other devices" , should solve your problem. I also have a Pioneer BT headunit in my car, and that corrected it.
Apparently one cannot use a bluetooth earpiece while the Nexus One is in the Car Dock.
This I find rather annoying because my phone is not mounted very close to the driver seat, and I find callers always saying they can't hear me.
Can anyone here figure out a way to get a bluetooth earpiece to work while in the dock?

Tho I haven't tried it with an ear piece, the following combinations seem to work fine for me when in the car dock:
Phone / Media connected to bluetooth CD player in truck
Phone connected to bluetooth cd player and Media connected to car dock
Phone connected to sony LiveView device via bluetooth.
This is all while the phone is sitting in my dock, so I'm not sure why you would not be able to?
Are you on a stock or custom rom?
Well my car doesn't have a bluetooth receiver, so I use the car dock to play the navigation prompts.
Whenever I put my phone into the dock, it unpairs my Jawbone Earpiece and won't let me re-pair it unless I unpair the dock.
Would be nice if I could pair both.

Maybe try changing it so that the dock is only pairing Media (long press car dock in bluetooth settings and click options and uncheck phone) and the jawbone is only pairing Phone.
Not sure if stock roms support dual profiles or whatever to pair with multiple devices at once, but Cyanogenmod does, at least, because I have mine paired to my dock and my receiver at the same time every day.
Also, not sure if this matters but I use dock nothingness (free app) to make my phone NOT launch the car dock app, and then dockcarswitches (another free app) to turn on/off my bluetooth when it's put in and out of the car dock.
I'll try that out tomorrow. Thanks for the advice though. Didn't think to actually set that up the way you did. Silly me.
I paired my phone to my car bluetooth and for some reason, it doesnt pair automatically when i turn on the phone BT. I used to have the Captivate and didnt have a problem with this. Anyone having the same issues?
Maybe I've just never figured out how. Maybe a way doesn't exist.
Here's my problem and subsequent question: I only have two devices to which I connect my N5, my bluetooth earpiece and my car stereo. Whenever I connect it to my car, and then come inside and have to use my bluetooth earpiece, I have to open up bluetooth settings and click the earpiece to initiate the connection. Same problem vice versa. What I would like is for it to just recognize and automatically connect to each device. Is this possible?
Hello All,
I just bought a used Lexus and it has bluetooth for phone, but not streaming. I have an aux port in the console and a usb port so I would like to add a bluetooth adapter for streaming music. I am looking for one that turns on automatically with the car (doesnt require me to push a button), will pair automatically with my phone (again no button pushing), and can be powered off a usb port. I do not want one that does hands free, just one that does streaming only.
I am having trouble finding one that auto turns on and connects. Does anyone have a good suggestion?
I ended up getting the Blackberry Music Gateway 2 and it works just great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WPYIY3O/
