Hi All,
I posted this in the Sony Ericssion, dev tread as well, but wanted to address a larger audience, hope this is not considered spamming.
I was looking at the BlackBerry PlayBook adv. where they talk about the BB Bridge.
I was wondering if anyone knew of an app for HoneyComb and GingerBread where the tablet would act like the LiveView from SE.
Basically if both the devices are on the same WiFi network, or via BlueTooth (BT), the SMS / Call information can be sent over to the Tablet.
We can make it interesting by using the tablet as a BT headset for the phone. or even a host for SMS.
This is all possible through BT, which works when you sync the phone to a GPS or other "Speaker Phone" Devices i.e. car stereos
I have a Sony Bluetooth Car Stereo BT MEX 3600U. If I get a call the stereo will change the CD or FM Radio to the ringing for my phone, I would like to do this with Notifications as I need to know when I get a text. I'd like to also be able to do the same when I am using Google Maps Navigation. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to know. I may also use it for part of my Software Development Degree.
I second this. My Honda Civic's bluetooth does the same thing. It notifies when you get calls while listening to the radio, but you have to change input to bluetooth audio to hear message notifications and GPS. I would love to hear turn-by-turn GPS while using the radio.
Though I feel like it's something on the car's side that has to change.
IDK, I would have thought that you could merely spoof the phone into thinking its recieving a call or it may even be a simple case of channeling the Audio through a different output. I can't see much detail online but hope this thread may get some answers.

Been researching. Sounds like the car stereo has to be bluetooth stereo audio and hands free compatible. But most car stereo are only hands free compatible.

Possible answer but not fix. I know it's for an iphone but it seems like it's the same problem.

In order to overcome the "handsfree mode only" you can use the BTMono: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iZWRvaWcuQlRtb25vIl0.
hmmm thats very interesting but it seams like I just need to force the Audio not to pass through A2DP and instead Use the Phone protocol.
If someone has an APK of the BTmono App It would be very helpfull as Google has locked me out of my account on Playstore
It seams the exact same problem as my stereo will play my phone music if it it set to BT Audio Input. However, It will Always play phone call ringtone.
Edit : After a little research, My Head Unit utilises A2DP for Music, and HFP (Hands Free Profile) for Phone and ringtone.
If I can Modify the route the Notification is sent, from A2DP to HFP then it will work perfectly.
Why has this gone dead !!!!
I've gotten a new stereo about a month ago and everything comes thru my radio even when I have it on Pandora mode it dims he music and my navigation thru the phone comes thru plus my notifications and ringtones that I have set in my phone its a JVC kd-s79bt... Is there anything I can offer to help solve I'm running venom 1.20 and zrboz newest kernel... You can control the head unit thru an app called smart remote its for JVC or kenwood decks with Bluetooth maybe the apk can offer some insights???

That's interesting I might have to see if It is worth buying one of these for my car, Far less effort
You guys are right.. I connect my phone to my ford sync focus and my phone rings but no notifications... Making an app would hurt would it

therion0, I think it would be possible but I am not a dev so if any one could help make this a reality, this thread needs to have a few developers on board.
Microsoft Windows Phone 8 can do this
My friend has a Nokia Lumia 920 running Microsoft Windows Phone 8 and his phone does this. His car actually says "In Call" when his phone reads notifications to him (and then waits for spoken commands to act upon them).
Why can't Android?
I just upgraded from Nexus 4 to Nexus 5. My Nexus 4 pairs fine with my Subaru Impreza WRX stock stereo, but when I try to pair the Nexus 5, I get a "Failed" message.
I have paired my Nexus 5 with a Chevy rental car and with a Soundkick with no problem. I have paired my Subaru with a Nexus 4 and Evo LTE with no problem.
So they both work fine independently, but Bluetooth is not working between the Nexus 5 and the Subaru. Interesting that when I put the stereo in pair mode and then select it from the Nexus 5, the stereo says "Failed" but then the phone prompts me for the password. However after I enter the password, I'm back to the device list and not connected.
Subaru's stereo is terrible so I'm guessing something is not right with their implementation. Any suggestions who I can contact to get this resolved?
Maybe you got to many pair devices to the radio. Delete the Bluetooth history.

Its a terrible stereo. Said it was full when I first tried to pair so I had to delete the history anyway. No luck. Re-paired my Nexus 4 just to confirm and had no issues. Then failed again on Nexus 5.

Bluetooth pairing is funky on the n5, I had the same failed message a few times while trying to connect to my dodge journey. Most of the time it couldn't even detect my car stereo, but eventually I got it to pair up

I have had this issue on my 2012 Outback as well. The first attempt at pairing always fails. If I retry pairing again right away it'll work. The same process was required for my gnex as well.

I had this issue too- 2012 Forester.
It took a few attempts to get it to pair, re-entering the pin a few times and I did have to delete the history (I had to do this every time I flashed my Samsung Captivate, so I did expect it).
Now, it won't stay synced. I have to pair it and select device every time I get into the car. Today it kept saying "not available", I could get audio, but no phone connection; I toggled in and out of airplane mode, (just to avoid a reboot), turned the data on and off, and suddenly I could connect again- but I have no if my toggling made it work.
I just thought it was a Subaru issue (it's a pretty basic bluetooth system, imho) but there are some other threads about it (though the car make isn't listed)
I don't rely on bluetooth a lot in the car (just for long drives) so it's not a dealbreaker, but I feel like it should work and connect automatically if my old Captivate could.
I have two problems with my Subaru WRX....
1. It doesn't always connect right away and even when I try to connect through settings manually it doesn't always want to. Sometimes it takes 2-3 tries.
2. When it does connect, sometimes it won't connect to the phone function for bluetooth.
This is terribly annoying.

I have Forester with stock audio, no problems at all with Nexus 4 before and Nexus 5 now. The phone pairs automatically without any questions.

Same here, 2012 Subaru XV... Really quite annoying...
Basically won't auto connect at all and usually have to delete and re-pair the phone to get it to do anything other than pair just the audio part.
Mine has had no issues with Ford Sync in my Mustangs.
seeing what is going on here in this post is making me sure that the bluetooth on the nexus 5 needs alot of work... I too finding hard time to pair up with my computer bluetooth.

Definitely annoying. The stock subby radios are junk though. I plan on upgrading soon so I hope that fixes my problem.

I'm sure it's the nexus 5's BT? I'm thinking since it's a newer version, some radios with older versions have a hard time connecting. I'm not certain though. Just a thought
I've was having the same issue with connecting my Nexus 5 to my '13 WRX's stock radio. It wouldn't auto connect after my car started and each time I had to go into the Bluetooth menu of my phone and manually connect it to the car. Sometimes the phone would connect with talk capabilities, but most of the time it wouldn't.
Today I updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.1 and it appears my Bluetooth issues are gone. I had to re-pair my radio and phone, but after that they reconnected with not issues. The connection feels like it is established faster than what my GNex did, but I could be wrong.
Pair using the voice commands the whole way through. Works fine on my 2011 WRX.
Done this method, the pairing will stick and you should have no issue with voice or audio pairing.
Have the same issue with a Nexus 5 and a 2012 Subaru WRX base stereo.
FWIW, I tried a bunch of different things and read a bunch of theories and possible solutions. This is what worked for my Nexus 5 and my 2012 WRX:
1. Delete other phone profiles.
2. Reset bluetooth settings on stock (non-nav) WRX headunit
Still couldn't pair (said "failed" on headunit each time as soon the phone prompted me for the passkey) so...
3. Paired wife's iPhone via steering wheel controls/voice with no issue.
4. Still wouldn't pair Nexus 5.
5. Changed Subaru headunit passkey to "0000" (from factory-set "1234").
6. Paired Nexus 5 easily through steering wheel controls/voice.
I probably would have been able to pair simply by changing the passkey originally however once I deleted both prior phone profiles from the headunit, I couldn't access the headunit's bluetooth settings without at least 1 phone paired. Hence the step with my wife's iPhone.
Hope this helps someone.

This worked! Though the only step necessary is Step 5 - change the passkey to 0000. This allowed pairing (through either bluetooth menu or voice controls) with no passkey prompt.
This presumably bypasses the authentication protocol which seemed to be failing. Fantastic.
Unfortunately, still not a perfect solution, since turning off the car makes it "forget" the pairing. Don't need to repair each time, but do need to go to the bluetooth menu in the head unit to manually select and confirm the Nexus 5 device. A bit of a hassle, but only takes a few seconds and then call and media audio work great.
Android 4.4.3 is rumored to include bluetooth fixes, so hoping it helps this issue. Unfortunately I suspect the issue is on Subaru's side.
I blame your stupid sideways pistons for the problem

Looks like Android 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 fixed the issue. I set the passkey on the head unit and when connecting from Nexus 5, it prompts for the passkey and successfully connects after I input it.
Unfortunately, still doesn't connect automatically when entering the car, need to manually select it on the head unit every time after turning the car on.
I think the problem is Subaru setup the stereos to work very well with the iPhone but nothing else. it's hit or miss with the Nexus 5 but my 5S connects automatically the moment I turn the key.
I have non-nav infiniti g37 and it does not support bluetooth music streaming.
However, it does come with USB plug in for iPhone or USB memory stick.
It won't support Android devices for music streaming through USB plug in for some reason.
I was wondering if there is a way to stream music from my Nexus 5 to the iPod connected through USB to my car.
I do not want to lose my XM so connecting to XM method is not what I want to do.
Thank You
Anyone....?

Unfortunately that doesn't seem likely - Apple and Android devices do not "talk" well enough for something like this to easily happen.
When you say it doesn't support Android devices through USB- what has happened when you tried it? I don't know much about the subject but if you had an error code or something along those lines it would be something to google
Hello !
Like many others I am using a Nexus 7 as my car head unit. Unfortunately there is no way to use the Nexus 7 as phone remote control.
With Tablet Talk there is a way to control an android device, that's just nice, but I think there could be more...
With that what I readed, with the current bluetooth protocoll there is no solution, but what if you try to use an iphone or a windows phone or what ever...
So I thought, if I use a Parrot MKI I can control all the calls and dial via a contact that was synchronized with my phone.
Is there any project around to sniff the parrot protocoll, i.e. what telegramm is send to the MKI if a button on the remote control is send, or how to send a command that dials a number.
Thanks,
Franki
