I recently purchased a 2016 Lexus RX350. When I use the bluetooth during phone calls, there is terrible static. The music streams fine with no static. It is only happens on voice calls. I do have Marshmellow on my G4. It worked fine with my 2014 GS350 with Marshmellow 6.0. I did a factory reset along with pairing and unpairing. Is there a way to download the bluetooth module from Android 5 and replace the new bluetooth program with the old. I have notice that this is also a problem for new Infiniti vehicles. Thanks
I've experienced similar bluetooth static issues with my LG G4 after upgrading to Marshmallow. After a quick reboot the problem goes away, but it comes back minutes later. I have a LG HBS-750 and a less fancy 2013 Honda Accord LX.
I had the same problem, did you fix it yet? LG G4 and 2016 RX 350 can't go together .
Same issue with Lexus and BT

Hi - I have the same issue with my LG G4 and connecting BT to my Lexus. Im so pissed. Spent all this money on the car and cant get the phone to connect properly. I can play music although it pauses every 20 seconds. But using as a phone is impossible. It's so staticy that you cant hear on either end. Lexus dealership was useless. LG was useless and Verizon blamed both of them. Have you found anything that works?

I just flashed the OTA update for Android 6.0 last week on my Nexus 5 and I noticed that with the new update, phone calls no longer get routed through Bluetooth on my Mazda3. It is able to pair fine with the car and can stream music through Bluetooth, but calls do not go through.
Here is what happens:
When I place a call, the audio automatically gets routed back to the phone. If the other person picks up, calls will continue going through the phone speaker unless I manually select route through Bluetooth. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't, but it does get frustrating trying this workaround especially while driving.
I tried unpairing and re-pairing bluetooth with the car, cleared the data and cache of the Bluetooth app on the phone, and even tried a factory reset, but the problem still persists. Anybody else run into the same issue and found any possible fixes?
For the record, when I did this with Lollipop 5.1.1, it worked without a hitch.
Thanks!
I am having a similar problem trying to connect my Nexus 5 running Android 6.0 to my JVC car stereo. It continually complains of an invalid key, albeit both phone and car head unit show the correct key.
I am unable to make a bluetooth connection at all with the stereo. I had no issue with my Nexus when it was running 5.1, and my iPhone 5 continues to pair with the stereo.
I had this issue on the last preview but haven't seen it yet on final 6.0. For either regular calls or Hangouts calls.
I just rolled back to 5.1.1 and Bluetooth calls work fine with the car now. So it appears that it is a problem that is resident in 6.0.
Same here, but a little different: It pairs and when I start a call from the menu it goes down but the call is still up on the phone. When the other person picks up the call is re-routed to the car speakers... very strange behaviour!
Same behavior as what you are seeing when paired to a '15 Accord but works fine on a '14 Camry.
im at 6.0.1 and has the same problem, streaming music through bluetooth is ok but no voice call...
Any news on this? My wife's nexus has same problem. Nexus 5 with Android 6.0.1. compiling version M4B30Z.
I read on a different site to disable wireless scanning in location. Just tied that and have been able to make and receive calls from the car. Will be interesting to see if it continues to work.
I have a 2014 Toyota tundra. Before the update my Bluetooth was working perfect. Since the update, anytime I turn on the Bluetooth, it reboots/crashes my stereo. Just wondering if anyone else has had this same problem?

I have a Toyota Avalon and I am also having bluetooth issues since the 6.0.1 update. I have to power down the stereo and bluetooth on the phone to get the Media audio portion of bluetooth to connect. The Call audio connects fine automatically.
I called Verizon and they have has some reports of issues with this. They documented the issue and transferred me Samsung with no resolution.
Marshmallow on all the Nexus devices appear to have issues with Bluetooth according to these sites, could the issue be a marshmallow wide issue?

I just wanted to chime in. I have a 2004 Corolla and I don't have native Bluetooth audio connectivity so I use: FlexSMART X3 Bluetooth FM Transmitter. So far so good since the update to Marshallow and use with my LG HBS 750 Bluetooth Headset is ok as well. Sorry, sort of not really the same issue, but its working ok since Monday, when I took the OTA update to Marshmallow. Hopefully they Verizon/Samsung has a fix for this issue.
Same issue
I have a 2015 Highlander and have exact same issue. If you go to settings and then bluetooth, click the sprocket next to the paired toyota device and turn off contact and call sync, it will stop crashing your Toyota stereo. It does mean that your contacts and call history will not show in your Toyota system. I reinstalled android 5.1.1 from www sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SMN920V/ download 5.1.1 and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page. The download takes about 2 hours but worth having my toyota stereo working again. I have contacted Toyota and Verizon and both have been zero help. :crying:
Hi everyone,
I've searched in this forum but couldn't find anyone with this strange problem...
I'm constantly connected to my Moto 360 v2 and, while in my car, also connected with my BT car kit. No problem listening to music trough BT or with connection.
The only problem is during calls (sent or received) there are random disconnections during the calls and I'm forced to manually re-connect the phone to continue talking through bluetooth (it never reconnects on its own).
That's very annoying and I can't make a phone call without loosing the conversation... That's the only problem I have left with this tremendous phone and I have no idea what to do. The only thing I can add is that it's working fine if I manually disconnect the watch while in my car...
No more notification issues, perfect connection to both watch and any BT device, no disconnections while doing something else than calling.
I'm on NXT-L29C432B170 stock non rooted in a Skoda Superb 2014... Any ideas??
Thanks in advance for your help
I have the same issue with a Huawei Watch and Monster iSport BT headset.

i do have the same random disconnects with both my LG Urbane watch, two Bluetooth car (Nissan Qashqai and Primastar) and a handset, Plantronics Voyager Edge. NXT-AL10 with Kangvip Slim B180.
So Huawei needs to update firmware with best Bluetooth results

Anyone else had any connectivity issues? 2013 Toyota 86 and i cant connect to the car stereo... may be time to get Android Auto, finally have a reason
But, in the meantime, i would love to hear from you if you've managed to connect.
2016 Ford Mustang GT with Sync 3. Android auto and bluetooth both work as expected with 0 issues (other than personally I think android auto blows monkey chunks.)

Have a 2015 Camry Hybrid and don't have an issue connecting to my Entune Audio system.
14 Grand cherokee SRT with 8.4 Uconnect and no issues at all. My iphone 7 plus wont stream smoothly to my headunit (choppy audio) but the S8+ does.
No issues connecting to the aftermarket deck in my jeep or the factory system in my 2017 work Chevy Equinox.
No problem connecting with the radio on my 2016 RAV-4.
2011 civic. No issues other then it takes a little longer to connect than my last phone, and my car no longer displays artist/track info. Hopefully it'll get fixed in an update.

Unfortunately, it won't happen. Samsung phones haven't displayed metadata on Civic stereos since the Note4. It's something about Samsung's custom Bluetooth stack when they upgraded it to Bluetooth 4.0; it doesn't offer full backwards compatibility. It will connect and play audio and even respond to controls via BT, but no metadata. And those apps that circumvent the issue by transmitting metadata in an alternate way, none of them work. We Samsung/Civic users have been fighting with this for a few years now to no avail.
And Honda doesn't put out updates for their stereos, so nothing will ever be fixed from their end. The only "solution" is to get a different stereo or a newer car. Or a new phone.
That's the worst part – every other phone works fine. iPhone, LG, Motorola, Pixel... It's just Samsung phones that don't play nice with older Honda stereos.
I am having an issue where call audio and contacts work between my T-Mobile S8 and Kia Optima EX 2012 with the Navigation/Infinity system, but no Streaming audio. There is no option on my phone for it, and I can Enable/Disable Streaming Audio on the car, pair, unpair, try different combinations, even factory reset the head unit and the Bluetooth on the head unit. Nothing so far. My car does show what's playing, but it still only plays through the phone and I can pause, skip, etc. from the car.
Anybody else had/has the same issue?

I know you posted this a while ago - but I have never had issues connecting blue tooth to my personal car (BMW X1) - I also travel heavlily and I have never had issues connecting to a variety of different rental cars, Fords, Kias, Toyota, etc.
Hope you found a fix or got it working
Stock stereo in a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I have no problems connecting, streaming audio, or making phone calls. My audio streaming does play with a lot of cracks, but it still plays. I might mess with EQ settings but I haven't had a chance yet.
2015 WRX with stock stereo (no nav, non-Harmon version). Here are the seemingly random issues I have with bluetooth:
- Connects fine most of the time, but will sometimes connect and the audio will be muted and requires me to pause the track on my phone and then press play.
- Audio will cut out at times and revert to playing through the phone's speakers, but the phone will still be connected and call audio will play through the car speakers and I can still control the track next/previous with my steering wheel controls.
- Audio will not connect sometimes when my wife is in the car wearing her FitBit, even with my phone's auto discovery turned off and nearby devices turned off.
- Track info sometimes gets stuck on the currently playing track and will not change until the car is turned off, the app is closed and process killed, and connection is made again.
Like I said, these issues appear to be random and seem to get worse when someone else is in the car with me or when I'm wearing an Android Wear watch. I've played with every connection setting I can in my phone but I'm sure this all boils down to it being a crappy stereo system. Nothing like being on the freeway during the beginning of a long commute and having my music cut out on me and having to switch back over to the (ugh...) FM radio.

I have the same issue. Sound is clear, music plays fine, wheel commands work fine... even the contact list, which only showed partially (200 contacts or so), now shows all of them...
But Title/Artist/Album do not show up, only says Samsung S8.
How do I enable the metadata?

As I outlined in my post, you can't.
Why not?
I have the same issue, calls work, changing track, music playing, good quality of sound, contact info, full phonebook (on the S2 it was just 200 contacts or so).... but no media metadata! This is software issue and it seems that in other units than the Civic (maybe post AVCRP 1.3) it works...
Hi,
Since the Oreo initial update (8.0), when playing Youtube musics in my car, the title of the videos are not synced with the radio screen (a VW Passat). The first video played, the title is correct but from that point it basically stops updating or shows a previous played video title and not the correct one being played. On Nougat it worked perfectly...
So, I heard that Oreo 8.0 had some Bluetooth issues that Google addressed in Oreo 8.1. (you can imagine my question, right? ). When will Huawei release the update to our Mate 9?
BTW, anyone having Bluetooth issues with Oreo 8.0 that would like to share here?
Txs.
I've been having BT issues since the Oreo 8.0 update as well. For me, I use a BT to FM modulator for my car. Used to connect to it with zero issues before update. Now since, sometimes it won't even connect unless unpair and re-pair the device. This does not happen with any of my other BT devices oddly.

In Developer Options I noticed there were options to change Bluetooth codec and bitrate. I have no idea if this will help, but it might be worth a try.
I get a crackling sound (BT headset), but sometimes also when I'm connected to the car in phone calls only, both ends of the conversation. I think my issue is more with an overloaded system at "quitting time". AT&T doesn't have enough towers in my area.
Had a BT issue with our car today (2014 Kia Rio). It failed to pick up when I told it to connect. ( Phone said connected but car didn't follow suit).Deleting the pair from the phone and the car plus a reboot fixed the issue for me. Sitting on B366 with stock everything.
My experience has been the opposite, running 8.0.0.366 (C432) with no BT issues. No issues now, no issues before under Nougat.
That includes connecting/streaming to cheap whiteline BT speakers, Sony BT speaker, Bosch and Clarion car radios, LG TV Soundbar, Xiaomi BT car lighter adapter, Gear S3 Frontier, Xiaomi Mi Band 2, sending files to a P20, sending files to a 2014 MacBook Air, etc.
All flawless, no disconnections even after extended periods of time (1h30 streaming continuously), no drop in sound quality, same long range.
