I have updated my car headunit to a sony MEX-N5100BT which is controlled by a nexus 7 tablet install and the sony songpal app, however I can't use the tablet screen to make and receive phone calls which is annoying.
Is there any app which would allow me to control my phone via the tablet (mirror) or even just the phonebook and call functions?
I have a MiFi unit so it could be either by WiFi or bluetooth.
Thanks!
bumpp?

What can you do with the Bluetooth on WP7?
I cant connect my tmobile HD7 to my BMW e46
Nor can I connect my HD7 to my Sony Vaio Laptop.
Has anyone connected their WP7 to a BMW e46 or to their laptop?
What can you connect it to?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have had many phones over the years, including a lot of the old Windows Mobile phones successfully connect and work with my car. But I cant get my new HD7 to work with my car.
I enter the pass code, then the car beeps, and on the Nav screen the message "Paired Successfully" but then it disconnects almost immediately. When i turn the car on it shows my address book and the phone stays connected but I cant get the sound to go over the cars speakers nor does the cars mic work. I can dial with the car but it goes through the phone (meaning I have to put the phone up to my ear, and use it like a regular phone). Anyone have a solution.
my focus s connects fine with my jabra sp700, well, media at least, i have not had a chance to check phone though.
Hi everyone,
I am an owner of the GSIII I747M and the ASUS Transformer, both running ICS. I recently had this idea (fantasy?) where I mount the Transformer in my car, hook it up to the car speakers and basically use it as my in-car infotainment system instead of the headunit that's in there. Nothing wrong with my in-car headunit (except the fact that I can't get bluetooth to work with my GSIII), but the tablet will give me tons more features. When I enter the car, I want the tablet to automatically tether to my phone via wi-fi and via bluetooth. Wi-fi is for internet access and it works just fine. The bluetooth is for the hands-free profile, so that when I receive a call, the music/navigation/whatever gets interrupted and I can take the call. I also want to be able to dial from the tablet.
When I connect the two devices via bluetooth, I don't have a hands-free profile; indeed I have no useful profiles at all. My question is simple: is there an app for that? Any suggestions? Has anyone done this? Thanks!
TabletTalk will let you answer/make calls on your tablet so long as it's pair to your phone and you're on a bt headset. It also handle your phone's SMS.
AutoTether can automatically tether your tablet to your phone hotspot.
Thanks, but that's not quite what I was like for. I won't be texting and driving, even on a tablet. I'm looking to use my tablet as a BT headset. I can pipe my output to the car's speakers and the tablet has a mic, so I can use it to talk on the phone while driving. Is there an app that can do that?
That would be awesome!
Let me know if you figure it out
I'm looking to do the same thing... Maybe it's time to learn how to code for Android. I've done some interfacing with BT at the driver level before but it was back before BT even officially came out, so there was not a Handsfree Profile ;-)
I couldn't find an app or anything that does this, so I think I'm SOL until someone makes an app with this capability.
Hi, I would like to use my P3110 as the infotainment central of my car.
I have a bluetooth system which can receive everything.
So, I thought that I can connect the tablet to internet using my phone (nexus 5) as hotspot.
With this basic configuration, I can use the tablet as a navigator, while spotify plays my music.
The only problems are phone calls. Infact, if the tablet is paired to the car bluetooth system I have to pick the phone to answer.
Is there a way to bypass calls to the tablet?
Thanks a lot
I use my Nexus 7 (2013, Android 6.0) as a car mount. It has been useful for navigation and multimedia. To have internet connectivity, I pair my tablet with my phone (iPhone or Blackberry Classic) via bluetooth.
I am facing an insignificant but tedious problem. When I enter my car, the Nexus does not pair automatically with my phone. I have to go to bluetooth settings and pair manually. I am wondering if this is by-design or if there is a way to make it pair automatically.
On a side note, is there anyway to flag a specific bluetooth connection as cellular/mobile data, the same way we can flag wifi hotspots?
P.S. I am not using Wifi hotspot to reduce energy consumption of both phone and tablet, and mainly because the poor iPhone sends the wifi-hotspot to sleep, if inactive for a while.
Coming from the Galaxy S8, I was kind of disappointed to find that the Pixel 2 apparently only connects to one Bluetooth device at once. For example the phone will only connect to my car but not my headset at the same time as the S8 did. I like having that because when you don't want to take calls on the car speaker you can just send the calls to the headset without much issue. Is there anyway to get the phone to connect to multiple devices? Any mods that are available to get it working?

I've not figured out a way. In fact, as of the 8.1 update it made my bluetooth worse. When I connect to a BT device, rather its my headphones at the gym, or my car, I have to dial something and hit "dial" on my dialer. When I do that it makes the hangining up sound and then is free to be used for other things. Quite frustrating, really. :crying:
I had my p2 connected to an aftermarket head unit in my vehicle and set it to media only, connected to my Bluetooth ear piece for calls and shared my internet via Bluetooth to my PS vita at the same time. You just have to play with settings for each device.

I have wondered if its an issue with a mismatch between the two bluetooth devices.
It looks like this has been addressed somewhat in Android P. I am running the beta that was released yesterday and the device is now connecting to multiple bluetooth devices. There is a quirk that requires you to go into the bluetooth menu to change the current active device (Think it might have been like that on the Galaxy too) but it does maintain the connection to multiple devices now. It does automatically switch when you turn off one of the devices, such as your car, so this is definitely progress on this front I think.
