I have a Standard Tesco 16GB Moto G, and a Vauxhall Insignia with Factory fitted bluetooth for hands free use.
The Moto G pairs fine, but functionality is limited. Missing are:
Use of the steering wheel/dashboard controls
No phone book entries
No call lists
Call lists are generated when using the phone in the car, but are lost when bluetooth is disconnected.
Audio is fine over the car speakers, and radio is muted etc.
I have to start, end and accept calls using the handset.
I am never asked the question after pairing that the car wants access to my phone book & call history.
My previous Orange San Diego worked flawlessly in all respects with the car.
I've searched and found many other instances where there are similar problems with most Nexus, and many HTC & Samsung devices. The workarounds vary, but none have worked for me so far.
Anyone cracked it for the Moto G?
The other threads imply it's an Android thing rather than device specific, so might I be waiting for KitKat?
Don't have too much hope, as the older threads were hoping Jelly Bean would fix it, but never did.
Any update on this? I have similar problems although after re-pairing a few times I at least can answer a call with steering wheel controls but cannot hang up one?
I also have this exact same problem with a Vauxhall Astra and would be keen for an answer on how to fix this.
(I have a colleague with a Kia and his phone connects and can be used perfectly so maybe it's a Vauxhall problem?)
Update:
After unpairing and connecting again it seems fine now most of the time. Although sometimes my car will be able to see the phone call history and sometimes not.

Hi,
I have almost the same issue, with a Vauxhall Astra '12:
- I can call someone using bluetooth, works but I can not end the call
- If someone calls me, it's mostly displayed on the screen -> I can answer, but then the audio doesn't work so I need to phone by hand..
- I manage to get into the phone book & see numbers, but can not dial them
This worked fine on my previous S3 mini & on some older (non-smartphone) phones.
Update
After repeated pairing and deleting the pairing I was finally asked by the phone if the car could have access to my phonebook etc and so I said yes (don't forget to tick the don't ask again box!)
The phonebook now appeared in the car, but I couldn't select one and successfully dial it - only from the phone itself. No Call lists.
If I made, or received a call whist connected, I got full functionality via the console and steering wheel controls afterwards, in fact everything perfect.
As a workaround, once the phone has paired with the car I either dial myself or 0000 (from the Handset), and after a minute or so, the call lists load and I get full functionality.
If I turn off the ignition, then I have to start from scratch i.e. dial 0000 or anything.
So a partial cure, but still a pain.
I am following a thread from a developer who offers a Bluetooth phone book transfer App, but unfortunately it doesn't work with the Moto G yet. He has now bought himself a Moto G so hopefully he will crack it. If and when he does, there will be £1.19 of mine winging his way i can tell you!
I can't post a link to this but search for android rsap and look under Motorola phones in his forum.
Good luck guys.
got the same problem here, was reading older modded roms work, anyone tried a rom that works ?
This sounds like the problem is with the car's bluetooth kit, because my Moto G works flawlessly with the Parrot kit in my Mondeo.

Hello,
In my car I have the Parrot CK3000 evolution car kit installed.
I can pair it with my nexus without problems.
After pairing incoming and outgoing phone calls should be routed through the handset but that doesn't happen.
My wife's htc hero, after pairing with the same handset, easily allows to establish the connection beetwen the hero and the handset long pressing the "parrot 2.51C" item in bluetooth settings and clicking the "Connect" item.
Long pressing the same item on my nexus shows a popup menu where the only option available is unpair.
Did anybody manage to make this handset work with nexus one?
For your information my parrot car kit has software version 2.51C and restarting the phone, resetting parrot memory, unpairing and pairing again didn't make any difference.
Regards,
Francesco
have a look at:
http://www.parrot.com/forums/english/viewtopic.php?pid=25879#p25879
Although this is for a ck3100.
I have this kit too. I'm at work so I can't test the link you put up but I don't think it will work. The nexus actually pairs with the device, it just won't connect. and the 3100 has an lcd screen so it runs completely different software
I used Parrot CK3100 with HD2. Everything was good! The sync was working very good with tons of rom. I tried with Acer Liquid. It was good. But when I tried with Nexus One original rom and Cyanogen rom I had a big problem with number. I always store the mobile phone number the following form: +36XXXXXXXX. All other phone managed it perfectly but N1 not.
I can sync the number with Parrot but the number was the following format: 36X-XXX-XXXX
It is WRONG!! I can't call the number without "+" I tried with the latest Desire (A10) rom and everything is fine!!!! Like with HD2!!! But the pairing is horrible with the A10. So I use Desire rom now.
I'm talking about a CK3100 here, but I had a problem when I first tried to pair it yesterday, it said it paired successfully but it didn't connect at all, no matter how many times I tried. The solution procedure for me was (maybe some step are not necessary at all but that's how I got it to work)
1. Unpair and delete the reference to the Parrot unit from the phone
2. Turn off phone bluetooth
3. Turn off car bluetooth (keys off until the Parrot turns the screen off)
4. Turn on phone bluetooth and enable visibility
5. Turn on car bluetooth
6. Pair from the Nexus One to the Parrot, enter pin
7. A request to access the agenda apeared on the phone, accept and you're ready to go.
I don't think it matters but just in case, I'm on stock rom (update1) and rooted.
PS: It's a total pain in the ass to have to re-record all the Parrot voice tags whenever I change my phone...
I managed to connect my CK3000 with N1 using the procedure that danimar1 describes.
No luck in copying my contacts to the parrot :/
Did anybody have success with this task?
F.
I've experienced this on other carkits too - it'll pair, but audio never transfers. Obviously a bug in the N1. I hope they fix it soon
In my case routing phone calls between parrot Ck3000 evolution and nexus one works.
The thing that I'm not able to do is to transfer my contacts.
Francesco
the ck3000 doesnt support contact syncing i dont think. that is the one bummer about android phones and bluetooth, no voice tag support. with my bb, it could use the phones voice recognition to voice dial from the car kit

when you unpaired, did you delet the phone from the parrot memory also?

No I didn't, everything was done from the Nexus One. But if you have problems connecting maybe it would be a good idea to do so.

and what firmware is your ck3000 on? im assuming thats an issue for me because ive never updated mine and its still at 2.10 i think
I'm sorry I have a CK3100, but anyway I never updated it. I got it a little more than 2 years ago, so I don't think it would be a firmware version problem.
just wondering if its possible to change the code on device to allow pairing with non palm handets?
Wondering the same. I tried Bluetooth to no avail.
+1 been trying to get some of the more talented guys on this because I would love this on my evo
Same here, my crappy TomTom can do it so why not tpad?

Yes it can.
I have a se X10a rooted android 2.3.3 and I got it to connect. I may not have gotten the full features since I missed the pariing code and my phone must have sent a 0000 pair which was accepted.
Anyway, my phone says that there are two options, Connect and Phone audio. Incoming calls show up on the TP with the dialer interface including caller id right down to the state and country. Audio transferred properly, so the TP becomes a huge speaker phone. Outgoing calls can be dialed and my phone asks if it should use skype or the dialer (as its' set up that way), but this doesn't seem to be working totally as there is a fail message that shows up on the TP saying 'unable to connect' or 'dial directly from your phone' when using contacts. I was able to dial my Google Voice mailbox.
I had to go from WebOS to Other a few times to get it find the phone. Just selecting Scan wasn't enough. I have Uberkernal (the latest as of this date 9/10/11).
I was also able to connect my SE D980 stereo bt headset but it only recognized it as headset not a phone device. The unit has music track controls on it and they work fine with the standard Music app and don't work with the AudiophileHD app. Track forward and back, stop/start.
hello,
it doesn't work with my DHD 2.3.4
when looking for a device on my phone the TP isn't found...
& neither when looking for a device from the TP the DHD isn't found.
There's a precentral thread devoted to it: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/295862-first-non-webos-phone-fully-tetherd-hp-touchpad.html
I was able to pair it with my Droid, but can only use the TouchPad as a bluetooth headset. I can also dial with the TouchPad, but I have to use the phone to activate the TouchPad as a headset.

I've got a DHD as well but running MIUI V4. I wasn't expecting it to work but just messing around, I thought I'd pair it in WebOS and it worked without a problem. I can even make calls from the touchpad without touching my phone. It should pair as a headset normally. It didn't work with my LG KC910 though.
*EDIT*
My mistake. It paired and made calls with my LG, no problem at all. Nothing worked under Android though, just file transfers.

This topic is pasted all over the net and it doesn't seem to be getting much attention, however I think it should be brought to a better light.
The idea is simple: Enable your Android Phone or Tablet to become a bluetooth reciever(to replace a headset or bluetooth speakers) and broadcast audio to the device and broadcast microphone from the device.
This could be used in several different applications:
1. Using an Android Tablet as a Car Stereo Interface
(Connect Phone to Tablet Via Bluetooth and use it as a hands free speakerphone, or aux out to your stereo)
2. Multiple Android Phones
(Have a business and personal phone? Answer all your calls from one.)
3. Phone or Tablet as Bluetooth Speaker/Mic
(Skype, PS3, Xbox 360, TV, Google Voice)
I would use several of these options on a daily basis, and would most definitely pay good money for an app like this.
So my questions are:
1. Is this possible?
2. If it is, how hard would it be?
3. If it isn't that hard, why hasn't someone done it yet!?
Bump if you want this too!
Just wanted to bump this because we need to put our heads together here and get this done. I need this capability for number 1 on your list of potential uses. I also would pay good money for an app that enabled this. Phones and tablet are rooted and ready to modify whatever is needed. Ii've bumped a couple other threads today as well.
I would also pay for this!
I have been looking for this for a while. I use an old LG Eve in my car and my Captivate's Wifi connection for GPS but I would love to have it work for calls and music too.
I would pay as well.
bumping this just to say that I'm going to research the rules and process for starting a bounty. obviously the smart people we need to work on this need motivation lol

Hi there,
just wanted to leave an incentive kind of post to say that I've also been looking for exactly the same thing.
My hunting on Google play just stopped after finding this post on XDA.
It's a kind of confirmation that there isn't a solution yet.
Since our rooted androids are more than capable of acting as a Bluetooth receiver, whether they may be based on new or older hardware, this seams like a very logical step in their lifecycle instead of getting forgotten in a drawer full of old and unused electronic waste.
Some doubts:
is a2dp required for this?
Is a2dp hardware related or simply a software feature?
Personally, I could live with a simple one way communication from a phone with mobile network (sender ) to the receiver. The used mic could still be the one on the sender side.
Wouldn't even need to have the receiver in a visible place as I would just connect a stereo cable from its headset output to an aux input on a hifi or a car stereo to hear music or acting as a hands-free system.
Hope this gets some real attention.
Cheers
In one year, nobody found a solution??
I can't beleive there is STILL no progress on this. Maybe I'll try asking a dev that has made similar apps the feasibility of this. There are so many practical uses for this that I cannot beleive no one has capitalized on it.
This would be a killer app if done right. Who here doesn't have an old phone laying around gathering dust? This could start off small; simply enabling the phone/tablet to be essentially a Bluetooth speaker, but then gain features and an interface using A2DP, which would evolve it into a killer way to make any car (with at least a tape deck) able to have full Bluetooth integration and control. I really hope someone can do this!
Bump
Bkb -> p -> PC (either wifi/blu/usb)
yeah so a spare bluetooth phone that connects between a keyboard and PC. Acting like a BT dongle. No way I'm spending 10 bucks for that. if an app...maybe a buck but would prefer free.
looking for this too. Wanting to turn this old phone into a bt audio receiver
Wow, endless searching and now this thread and still nothing :/ i need it for the first idea you listed, did you ever find something?
https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../java/android/bluetooth/BluetoothHeadset.java
Currently the Android Car Multimedia receives Bluetooth Stereo Audio from Phones (Andoird/Apple), how they do it?
Any news?
So many years and still nothing?
May be this is not the right way to do.
I know this is a crazy old subject but others have commented so I don't feel so bad.
I want to make my own android system for my car. I have everything I need for it (hardware/software-wise) except for this one thing.
A few years back there used to be an app called Tablet Talk, it's not exactly what we want but I'm still willing to settle for something like that. The way it works is phone->tablet->handsfree Bluetooth speaker. You could make and receive calls (including seeing the contact names/phone numbers on the tablet) from the tablet itself, then the audio/microphone goes to the handsfree device. Another added feature was when a call is happening the app stops all audio coming from the tablet until the call is done.
Like I said before, it's not perfect but at this point, I don't ever see it happening any other way. I found the app a few days ago, it doesn't exist on the app store anymore, unfortunately, I could get it to run. It just kept crashing.
If anyone knows of something then please let us know.
Years later, found just this thread: I want to do similar thing: Use a private phone (for my sake rooted with custom fw) as a hands-free bt device with an unrooted business phone (non-rooted and secure managed with company tool). I also don't want call forwarding or similar. Just do and answer calls, use phone book and call list via bluetooth like my car radio do for years.
Is there still no solution?
Hi All,
I'm having trouble with Bluetooth on my v10. I've looked through the forums but haven't seen any people with an issue quite like mine.
My car is a Hyundai and the radio was updated to the latest software about 6 months ago. The phone will pair fine and works perfectly for phone calls but I can't get it to play audio over bluetooth. In the bluetooth menu the "Media Option" check box is not visible at all. The particularly weird part is that while the audio still comes out of the phone the rest of the bluetooth features will work, I can change the song with the radio controls and the Artist/Title are displayed on the radio.
It works great with my soundbar, alarm clock, portable speaker, and my moms Dodge truck. That would lead me to believe it's the car however I never had any issues with my gs5 for a year and a half. I tried it with two different iphones and my roommates G4 and all of them worked perfectly.
My phone is an h900 on 5.1.1 rooted(had the same issue before root).
I'm at a loss here. Any ideas? Thanks.
I have a bug report w/ google on this. Please take a look and chime in to get them to fix this. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=221322&thanks=221322&ts=1472583426
Im going to guess you have a 2011 to 2013 hyundai right? Probably with navi?
So google is blaming samsung of course so I have an email into them. Their chat was useless.
Your device is using Samsung's heavily customised version of Android which this website has no visibility of so cannot support. You need to speak to Samsung for user support and issues with their devices and their software. Thanks.

I used to be able to hear calls and media whilst connected to bluetooth in my car. one day it just stopped working. media still works but when i make a call or receive one, there's no audio. calls ,audio, and contacts are all checked in bluetooth settings. i've forgotten devices, rebooted, reconnecting, and nothing helps.
bluetooth connects to everything fine, but no call sound over any accessory i try. got a new car and it won't work in there either. i'm on android 7.1.2 .
searched all over and plenty of people are having these issues but none of the posts i've read solve my problem. any help would be appreciated
Hey hey, I have a 128GB pixel with the same issue. I actually opened a case with Google support today about it. about 3 months back, only phone audio stopped working in my car. I was hoping the 8.0 update would fix it but it did not. I have a 2017 Honda Civic LX. I tried everything on my phone - even factory reset. Media audio works, I can play Spotify just fine but when i get a call, I can not hear the other person and they cannot hear me. The phone indicates it is connected via bluethooth... I'll try to update this post with what they find.

128G pixel here. This happens with every Bluetooth device I connect it to. 2 car stereos, 2 speakers, and a headset. All worked fine and suddenly one day... Didn't. I was hoping O Would fix it with all the Bluetooth bug fixes and changes they implemented.

Darn, so the issue is a bit different. Mine works fine on a couple of other speakers I have.
Did anyone ever solve this? I've got the same issue, but it effects *all* my Bluetooth devices, but only when I am switched to my secondary user profile.
I've reset the phone app but no dice.
My phone will say it is connected to the Bluetooth device for the phone call. If I switch to speaker or phone and then back to Bluetooth, it works. Anyone else have similar?

Hi!
After hours of Googling you are the first I found who has the same error.
I have a Lenovo TAB4 8+, my kid wants to use Zoom and his Bluetooth headset but only the speaker and mic on the tablet works. I tried fresh install, without luck:
There are 4 type of users:
- Owner (primary - this is the only profile which works for calls on bluetooth headset)
- Standard Users (secondary - bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Child (bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Guest
The bluetooth headset is working with other devices, but not with this one. Unfortunately I have no other android device which supports multi-user.
Moreover, there was an hour when bt call worked from secondary user, but couldn't find out what is the problem.
Can anybody help me on this?
Best regards,
Karoly
