I've paired my pixel 2 with my uconnect system in my Jeep. Two issues, 1 the metadata (song titles and track info) doesn't show on the screen in my car. This worked fine on my last several phones. I've tried deleting and pairing again but it doesn't help. 2, the navigation directions from Google maps do not come through my car's speakers despite having that option checked in gmaps settings. Anyone having similar problems and figured out a fix? I'm on 8.1 Dev preview, and this also did not work on 8.0. I can't imagine that the phone isn't capable.
It appears there are lots of issues with Bluetooth on the Pixel 2s but no fixes that I can find. Hopefully Google will fix these soon as it's very frustrating getting a new very expensive phone which doesn't even do what you're old one did.

Terrible, hope they fix it soon. Thought maybe 8.1 would help but no luck.
I feel sorry for you guys. OG Pixel had bluetooth issues on some cars and some of those issues are still not fixed 1 year later.
Bluetooth is great for me on my cars. Both newer GM vehicles. One with Android Auto, one without.
I have an SRT Hellcat with UConnect. It completely does the same type of stuff. Sometimes it fails to transfer calls. It also shows "Pixel 2" often rather than song titles, etc. If I disconnect BLE and reconnect it usually works better the second time. It is annoying.
How do they screw this up every year. Using play music now completely locks up my uconnect RHR radio. I really wish Google would test things before rolling out. I wish they would just release there new phones on the previous Android version and have a beta of the current since they always screw something major up.

I upgraded my uconnect from 2.600 to 2.700 and deleted the device pairing a couple of times and now I can at least play media again although I no longer have song data displaying which was there before at least before my radio would lock up.
I also tried changing the Bluetooth codec via developer settings to ACC. However, after changing, it reverts on its own. I read that the November security patch supposedly contains some BT fixes, fingers crossed!
On my car (BMW 335i from 2008) the Bluetooth is so messed up that while I can pair the Pixel 2, if I actually play any audio it reboots the car's entertainment system and deletes all Bluetooth pairings.
The 8.1 beta doesn't fix the problem, either, so I'm not too hopeful about the next patch.

Interestingly, I found a fix for my Bluetooth issue at least. In Android 8.1, they added the ability to set the AVRCP version back to 1.3 in Developer Options. (8.0 moved the default up to 1.4 and in 8.0 there was actually no option to set it below 1.4) Setting AVRCP 1.3 and the SBC audio codec fixed my vehicle Bluetooth issues.
Hmm didnt know of bluetooth issues. So mine paired but wont connect to my 2012 mazdaspeed3, but my aftermarket headunit in my 89 ram50 connects right up and has no issues. (Also connects right to my garmin 2589 and allows all functions including traffic reports)
I just assumed it was something bugging with the radio in my mazda since its always seemed a little weird with bluetooth

Tried this but the codec keeps reverting to system default. The AVRCP version however will stay on 1.3. Still waiting for the November security patch with hopes that it will cure this all.
Not just with vehicles

Hello team,
I have seen similer problems with one of my Pixel 2's when using a simple Bluetooth device which may suggest that this goes beyond just vehicles. I tried turning on and off both the phone and device and ended up having to delete the connection profile and starting over.
The device would only partially handshake during the connection process and then hang which appears to be what's happening with the vehicle systems.
I thought I'd should mention this here as an FYI.

This is similar to what I see, both with my new Pixel2 and also my previous OnePlus3 on my Mazda 3. Phone will pair, but after a few seconds (or sometimes minutes) disconnect. Usually it will try to reconnect, and then be fine until the next time I use my car. Both phones behave identically, so it seems to be more a problem with vehicle systems that some phones (none I've owned unfortunately!) are more forgiving of.
Anyone know of a fix for this? I'm using uconnect and same issue, however my maps navigation does play over Bluetooth. Sometimes it seems to disconnect or mute after songs change, and the metadata issue is there. Super annoying that we go backwards in technology. My HTC M9 does this stuff flawlessly.
So I did the developer preview thing and set it back to 1.3 which helps the metadata issue. However, the music still pauses every once in a while, mostly between songs. I have to click to my AM/FM radio and back to bluetooth to fix that.
Well, it's always the same circle. There's a new device with a brand new Android version. Of course buggy a.f. They fix it over the time. The device works perfect. And then... a new major upgrade, which is buggy again.
7.1.2 worked perfect on my Pixel. Then came 8.0.
Bluetooth was messed up again. Now i use the Pixel 2, which is a great phone. But still has the complete bandwidth of bugs that were present in 8.0 on the Pixel 1.
Nice to have monthly patches. But instead of fixing so called security issues, they should focus on functionality bug fixes instead. Who has had a major security issue with hs phone at all, yet??
Google is like: "Fix: Someone could attack your phone using a backdoor in your bluetooth driver."
WTF?!
I can't even use my bluetooth to listen to audio correctly! Fix that first!
Long story short:
Yes, I have the same issue with meta-data in my car audio (Pioneer AVH-X2800BT). Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.
Just got November security patch which is supposed to include Bluetooth fixes but hasn't changed anything.

I'm on Nov update and I don't see AVRCP 1.3 anymore. Lowest is 1.4.
Haven't had to use BT (didn't drive the last 2 days) since the update but before that I had no issues with it linking to my wife's CX9 or my ancient 3-series. Calls work just fine and track information shows up accurate on the CX9.

AVRCP 1.3 wasn't available in stock 8.0 either -- I had to put the 8.1 Developer Preview on to unlock it.
What is your Uconnect firmware version?

Mine does unless I'm running Android Auto

Hi All,
I'm having trouble with Bluetooth on my v10. I've looked through the forums but haven't seen any people with an issue quite like mine.
My car is a Hyundai and the radio was updated to the latest software about 6 months ago. The phone will pair fine and works perfectly for phone calls but I can't get it to play audio over bluetooth. In the bluetooth menu the "Media Option" check box is not visible at all. The particularly weird part is that while the audio still comes out of the phone the rest of the bluetooth features will work, I can change the song with the radio controls and the Artist/Title are displayed on the radio.
It works great with my soundbar, alarm clock, portable speaker, and my moms Dodge truck. That would lead me to believe it's the car however I never had any issues with my gs5 for a year and a half. I tried it with two different iphones and my roommates G4 and all of them worked perfectly.
My phone is an h900 on 5.1.1 rooted(had the same issue before root).
I'm at a loss here. Any ideas? Thanks.
I have a bug report w/ google on this. Please take a look and chime in to get them to fix this. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=221322&thanks=221322&ts=1472583426
Im going to guess you have a 2011 to 2013 hyundai right? Probably with navi?
So google is blaming samsung of course so I have an email into them. Their chat was useless.
Your device is using Samsung's heavily customised version of Android which this website has no visibility of so cannot support. You need to speak to Samsung for user support and issues with their devices and their software. Thanks.

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.

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...
I used to be able to hear calls and media whilst connected to bluetooth in my car. one day it just stopped working. media still works but when i make a call or receive one, there's no audio. calls ,audio, and contacts are all checked in bluetooth settings. i've forgotten devices, rebooted, reconnecting, and nothing helps.
bluetooth connects to everything fine, but no call sound over any accessory i try. got a new car and it won't work in there either. i'm on android 7.1.2 .
searched all over and plenty of people are having these issues but none of the posts i've read solve my problem. any help would be appreciated
Hey hey, I have a 128GB pixel with the same issue. I actually opened a case with Google support today about it. about 3 months back, only phone audio stopped working in my car. I was hoping the 8.0 update would fix it but it did not. I have a 2017 Honda Civic LX. I tried everything on my phone - even factory reset. Media audio works, I can play Spotify just fine but when i get a call, I can not hear the other person and they cannot hear me. The phone indicates it is connected via bluethooth... I'll try to update this post with what they find.

128G pixel here. This happens with every Bluetooth device I connect it to. 2 car stereos, 2 speakers, and a headset. All worked fine and suddenly one day... Didn't. I was hoping O Would fix it with all the Bluetooth bug fixes and changes they implemented.

Darn, so the issue is a bit different. Mine works fine on a couple of other speakers I have.
Did anyone ever solve this? I've got the same issue, but it effects *all* my Bluetooth devices, but only when I am switched to my secondary user profile.
I've reset the phone app but no dice.
My phone will say it is connected to the Bluetooth device for the phone call. If I switch to speaker or phone and then back to Bluetooth, it works. Anyone else have similar?

Hi!
After hours of Googling you are the first I found who has the same error.
I have a Lenovo TAB4 8+, my kid wants to use Zoom and his Bluetooth headset but only the speaker and mic on the tablet works. I tried fresh install, without luck:
There are 4 type of users:
- Owner (primary - this is the only profile which works for calls on bluetooth headset)
- Standard Users (secondary - bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Child (bt headset only supports listening: Spotify etc..)
- Guest
The bluetooth headset is working with other devices, but not with this one. Unfortunately I have no other android device which supports multi-user.
Moreover, there was an hour when bt call worked from secondary user, but couldn't find out what is the problem.
Can anybody help me on this?
Best regards,
Karoly
my pixel 3 bluetooth keeps forgetting my car hands free system
i pair my devce as normal and for a few days a week at all is good the little phone icon appears on the honda display
then nothing
i go to the car system and it lists my pixel 3 as a stored device yet in the phone in previously connected devices the Honda HFT is not listed so i delete phone from car and rinse and repeat
i googled the issue and came across a similar issue on a different car brand and they suggested changing the avrcp version from the default 1.4 to 1.6 exactly the same infact ive tried all 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6
i spoke to google via chat and they suggested network reset and delete and repair for and to report back if it happens again (which it has)
has anyone come across this issue before ???
i never had this problem on my my pixel 2 until it upgraded to android 9
im starting to think my car is too old for the software in the phone
the vehicle is a 2009 honda civic with factory bluetooth
as we never have an issue with the 2018 mazda we also own
as a last resort i am going to pair an old samsung tablet thats on android 5.1 and see how long that lasts as i dont think its the car system faulty as it remembers my phone

Have you updated to the Dec firmware? That has a patch for the Bluetooth issue.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yes December 5 it says on security patch level
It was working ok this morning on way to work but forgot the device on way home
So the Samsung tablet is still connecting as it should
I'll leave it a bit longer in the interest of science
Is it plausible that the Bluetooth version is too new for the car ?? I have no other problem with newer Bluetooth devices
Anybody have any suggestions
Tablet is still connecting as it should without prompt
Wondering is anyone else is having this issue. When I play music over Bluetooth it has constant stuttering. I have no issues on my other Bluetooth devices, like headphones or speakers. I did not have this issue on 9.0 and this affects both my OnePlus 6T and 7 pro. Issues on both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2
I'm not the only one!!! I upgraded my OP6t to 10, and on my 2019 Ford Ranger, had all kinds of skipping. I ended up purchasing a OP7t, and it had the same issue. I returned the 7t, and downgraded my 6t back to 9. I was unable to get it to play well with my truck. The REALLY weird thing was that it skipped worse at slow speeds. Once I was at freeway speeds, I had no skipping.
EDIT: I should note, that it seemed to work fine with my wifes Ford Escape, which also uses Sync 3.
Ok... You need a new car....

I was able to kind of fix it by doing a master reset on my car, it stutters but I can get 3 minutes into a song before it happens. It was every 10 seconds before. Not perfect but at least I can live with it now. Hopefully future updates remedy this issue.
I'm on Sync 1 and while I don't have stuttering issues I do have extremely low Bluetooth call volume to the point I have to crank the radio to 100% to have normal call audio.
Use the latest open beta. Fixes all stuttering

I have the exact same problem. It works fine on all other devices, including my Jeep, but skips on my F150 sync 3. If you connect to your sync 3, then turn your bluetooth off on your phone and turn it back on, once it connects to your sync 3 again, it will stop skipping. Of course I have to do this every time I start my truck, so not a lot of phone. 10.0.3 does not address the issue either. I submitted a bug to OnePlus so hopefully they can figure out what it is and fix it.

Is it just reconnecting (restarting) bluetooth? I already have a macro that starts spotify, then pushes play when connecting to my truck.
Finally got around to re-installing Android 10 and trying out the Macro, seems to work perfectly...now to decide if I want to go buy the 7t McLaren version...decisions decisions...

Kind of disagree, this is not a general Android 10 issue as other devices work fine with the Sync 3 on my Ford Edge.
Both the Oneplus 6 and the 7T Pro have the skipping issue and it is super annoying.
Resetting the Sync app or the phone kind of makes it better for a while but it always returns and gets worse over time (quickly)
As mentioned, other devices do not have this issue, Xiaomi or Samsung work fine. It's definitely a Oneplus/Sync 3 related problem.
Android 10 Open Beta 8, I find since I switched to ElementalX 2.11 kernel my bluetooth performance has improved (Sync3 on 2016 F150)
Macrodroid work around
Tried submitting this response with pictures, but I don't have permissions.
In case anyone is still experiencing this issue, here is what I did to work around the issue:
Step one: Download macrodroid from google play
(You will need to mess with permission a bit to allow md to disable and enable bluetooth.)
The first macro I created is as follows:
Macro name = sync fix
Trigger = Device Connected "Sync"
Actions = Disable Bluetooth, Wait 2 seconds, Enable Bluetooth, Toggle macro "sync fix"
Basically this macro will turn off bluetooth once it connects to "sync" and then renable bluetooth followed by turning itself off, AKA sleep. (otherwise you would get a never ending loop, no bueno)
There might be a better way of sleeping a job but I could not figure out another way. Maybe with variables...but I didn't look to much into that.
Since the first macro disables itself, you need another to turn it back on.
The second macro I created:
Trigger = Bluetooth disabled
Actions = Wait 10 seconds, Enable macro "sync fix"
Once this macro detects that bluetooth has been turned off (triggered from the first macro disabling bluetooth) it will wait 10 seconds and then turn the "sync fix" macro back on.
I could have used a timer, but sometimes we get in our vehicles for a few minutes or a few hours... didn't want to mess with it.
Anyways, this is what I came up with.
Hope it helps at least one person out there contemplating another device..or vehicle! haha
Have a good one!
EDIT:
I found another way:
Trigger: Device connected "sync"
Actions: if macro(s) [This macro] not invoked in the last 10 seconds
disable bluetooth
wait 2 seconds
enable bluetooth
End if
The macros do help a bit, as does turning off WiFi. Nonetheless there will still be the occasional cutting out of audio. Did some testing today and it's definitely an issue with the OnePlus software, in my case with the 7T pro. When using a Xiaomi Mi 9, with Miui or AOSP, there is never even the slightest audio stuttering or cutout.
I just use the android auto plug and set phone in cup holder. Zero issues and truly safest way to use your phone on the car. I mean voice music app navigation, voice activated maps. Reply to text and messenger without any issues. Safest bet truly. As yes sadly the BT issues where driving me crazy

You're right, audio through Android auto seems to work much more reliably. The plugging in and out is a bit of a bummer though and the location of the USB doesn't really help the cable routing in my Ford Edge.
Does anyone know if this issue is only happening with Sync3 / Ford models or is it happening with other cars as well?
