Bluetooth - phonebook not available

So I got my Nexus 5 today and have spent most of the afternoon tinkering with it. When I came to drive home, I paired it with my car (2012 Holden Cruze) and just like my Nexus 4 before it, it tells me there is no phonebook available, so I can't call anyone from the car. Also the car's call / disconnect buttons don't work.
I had exactly the same scenario with the Nexus 4 and ended up running CM10 on it, as bluetooth worked fine in that ROM. Clearly, CM has some different bluetooth code ..... my question is, does anybody know how to make this work? Can we somehow extract the bluetooth code from a CM10.2 / 11 ROM and install it into stock? I would really like to stay on stock.

I am interested in finding this out too, I have tried all sorts on my Nexus 4 but with no success. I don't seem to get the request from the car to access the phonebook on stock 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 but get it straight away with CM10.1 :crying:

[Q] Bluetooth AVRCP Support?

Got the Nexus 5 streaming music to my 2012 Toyota Camry, however the AVRCP profiles do not appear to be working correctly. No metadata, and no remote functions (car -> phone via BT). Anyone having any luck with this?
I had a Skyrocket before with CM10.0 (Android 4.1.2) that did the AVRCP profiles perfectly. I know the BlueZ change-over occurred directly after that, why I kept that version on my Skyrocket. I rolled back after it stopped working when I upgraded to CM10.1. But now on the Nexus 5 I'm "stuck" with KitKat.
Thought all this BT profile stuff was fixed in 4.3?

Most likely your Camry's radio will need a firmware update. I'm running into this with my 2010 Volkswagen GTI.

That's the thing, the Camry worked fine with my Skyrocket which used AVRCP 1.3. Emailed Toyota and they said 1.3 is supported in the head unit. If KitKat truly supports AVRCP (even if it's 1.4) shouldn't it be compatible (backward compatible).

[Q] Pandora Issue With Connecting To Car Radio Via Accessory Feature

I have a Sprint 16gb Nexus 5 running Kitkat 4.4 build krt16M (Stock, Rooted)
I have a Kenwood Excelon kdc-x896 car radio, which has Pandora compatibility built in.
When using my Rooted Verizon Galaxy Nexus with 4.3 custom rom installed (or any version down to 4.0), Pandora would connect (sometimes haphazardly) to the radio via the Pandora Feature, resulting in the correct Black screen on the Phone (for the Pandora App), signifying that it was in accessory mode.
Currently, when I press the pandora button on my radio, after my phone has connected via bluetooth, it stays on check device & does not enter accessory mode (or attempt to on the phone). I have tried with Pandora open & closed, and with a freshly rebooted phone. I have also tried with two different nexus 5's.
Any ideas to troubleshoot?

I'm having this same issue... I can't find a fix so far though.

If you have bluetooth in your car can't you just play pandora through the BlueTooth Audio and bypass the pandora feature on the stereo? That is how mine works.

I have the same issue with mine (Pioneer z140bt). I've tried resetting the head unit to factory settings and pairing with my N5, but no luck. Mine will popup on my phone "Pandora Accessory" and then my head unit will say "Check your smart phone screen when it's safe to do so" and then nothing.

Mine is working fine. I use built in Pandora feature all the time in my car. The black accessory screen pops up as expected. I'm running stock 4.4.2. Rooted with Franco kernel. FWIW.

Any updates on this by chance ?

[Q] nexus 5 + custom rom - No full control of music over bluetooth to headunit

hi all,
i've got a nexus 5 thats connected to my car via bluetooth. i've noticed that its not sending full control of music over to the headunit.
The nexus has AOKP installed onto it and before another ROM which did the same thing.
My nexus 7 which is on a rooted stock rom works just fine and gives full control over to the head unit.
Is this a aftermarket rom issue or something else?
if it helps both devices were using google music to play

couldn't pair with 9xxplantronics because of an incorrect pin or passkey

Hi Developers and All,
I have tried a couple of ROM and decided on SLIMKAT/SLIMROM.
Off all is perfection for my need except I have tried to pair up with my plantronics discovery 975 bluetooth headset, flash from stable version 6 official SlimKat for my N5120, to its weekly beta version, no joy on this one. Also tried with my old iTech bluetooth headset and unable to pair them up.
Does anyone having issue hooking up your bluetooth headset with slimkat on N5120? Anyway to resolve it, appreciate for some help on this one as my note is too big to use as handset, need a wireless headset for it.
