Any idea if the OPO support this?
It shows up under Bluetooth/device settings with a checkbox "Message Access (Use for map)" but it doesn't seem to work with my new car's interface. Basically allows your to display and read messages through your car's display. Doesn't appear to be working which makes me a little sad.

I have just brought an add on for my car head unit to enable bluetooth handsfree operation. It has the options for displaying text messages and some other features but they are all greyed out and only normal phone calls can be done.
Also the phone display turns on when you receive a call and so if its in your pocket you can press the screen by mistake.
Has anyone else used features like text alerts or with windows mobile devices or know any way to get these extra features working with car hands free kits.
I cant find anything much on the net so hope someone can help!
Bluetooth Profiles
The only thing I can think of is that a Bluetooth profile that supports the functionality you require is not enabled.
Check Profiles under Bluetooth settings and try enabling some of the unchecked profiles.

I have not been able to find a thread about voice controlling the actual bluetooth as opposed to bluetooth dialling. I was looking for an app which could fix it for me if I forget to turn on my bluetooth before driving away. I found multiple apps such as Jeannie which offer voice control over everything else, but the snag with bluetooth (the only thing I genuinely need voice control over!) is that while it succeeds in recognising that I want to turn on Bluetooth, up pops a box saying that an app wants to activate my bluetooth, allow it to do so, yes or no. Not very voice controlled if I have to press a button to confirm that I want my phone to carry out the instruction given by voice command.
Is there a way to get rid of this pop-up for authorised apps, or some other way to activate Bluetooth without touching the phone screen that would not require rooting? I can't be messing around trying to press the correct part of the screen when I'm flying along at 60mph, but I can't risk missing calls because the Bluetooth is not enabled.
I'm pretty sure I remember this setting being available in the preview versions just like in kitkat, but on the recently released images I cannot find the setting to change the bluetooth visibility setting to never time-out. The pioneer bluetooth stereo in my car absolutely will not recognize the presence of my phone unless it is discoverable.
Am I missing something, or has this option simply been removed.
If it has been removed I'm hoping maybe there is something I can modify to get this option back.
Thank you

If you open the bluetooth settings it says, that your device is visible to all devices as long bluetooth is enabled. Only in this screen your bluetooth device is visible to other devices.
I hope google fixes this, because its too confusing.
Yes, unfortunately that's the only reference to bluetooth visibility I have found.
My understanding in 5.0 is that your device's Bluetooth is only visible to paired devices, except when the Bluetooth Settings page is open. When the Bluetooth Settings page is open on your device it will be visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices (which is what you need when pairing). Have you paired the Pioneer Bluetooth stereo with your device?
There no longer appears to be an option as there was on 4.4 to permanently set 'Visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices'. However, why would you want that, other than when setting up pairing? It's a security risk.

I'm in your same situation, I was googling around and I found this... I'm on CM12 and wish that we can find a solution for make the bluetooth always discoverable on AOSP roms. I own a Lg G3 and on the stock Android 5.0 rom the option (like in KitKat) it still there!
The only reason I was really looking for this features is that my older Pioneer head-unit in my car (DEH-P9800BT) won't connect automatically to my phone unless the phone is discoverable. I've managed to adapt my other bluetooth connections that were set this way to work without the option, but I've tried for years (since my Palm Treo 650p) to get the head unit to connect automatically with no luck.
I am also wondering why they have hid this feature...
Looks like they are trying to go like (cr)Apple, whereas your iPhone is only discoverable within the Bluetooth menu.
Hi,
I'm looking for something (app, magisk/xposed module, ROM that supports this...) that'll provide a quick and simple way to switch between audio outputs without disconnecting anything. In Android P we can connect to multiple Bluetooth devices and switch the output between them, by setting the 'active' device in the Bluetooth menu. We still can't route audio to the speaker while being connected to a Bluetooth device, though, and going to the Bluetooth menu is kinda slow anyway.
What I have in mind is something similar to the solution in Samsung Galaxy devices, where when you have multiple audio devices available you get a persistent notification that allows quickly switching between them. I believe it's even possible to pick audio output for specific apps somewhere in the settings.
Suggestions?
Hey everybody,
Every incoming notification stops the music eg. in Spotify or YouTube music, as the HU seems to automatically switch to Bluetooth music. Tried it with several smartphones. Anyone have an idea how to solve the problem?
Thanks to you
Device: Kingbeats K2 Plus, UIS7862
What did the seller suggest when contacted for support. What has been tried to resolve the problem
Seller is chinese, no answer after some support questions via whatsapp.
Tried another launcher and another smartphone.
In your phone bluetooth settings go to your head unit connection, I have 4 options: Calls, Audio, Contact access and Message Access. Try to switch off Audio option. If it is switchd off already I have no more idea.
That's a great idea and it worked. Unfortunately, I also listen to downloaded Youtube videos via Bluetooth, so this is not an option for me. But basically it works, thanks for that.
I have another idea which works for me:
I installed MacroDroid so that the wifi hotspot is always automatically activated and deactivated when I am connected to the FYT via Bluetooth. I added another action which sets the smartphone to "vibrate only".

I use MacroDroid as well to do exactly the same with my private motorola.
On my business Samsung I use the Bixby routines to do the same (and for once the Samsung bloatware is useful ).
