Bluetooth Issue with Kia Soul

My Mate 9 refuses to pair with the Bluetooth in my Kia Soul. It works fine with the aftermarket stereo in my Nissan 350z. It works with my Fitbit and with my Vizio Sound bar. It seems to only have an issue with the Kia. Yet the Kia works fine with all of my other phones (Nexus 6, Moto X Pure, ZTE Axon 7)...
So my question is... Should I try to root and install new ROM and hope for better compatibility or does anyone know of a secret for getting the system to fix itself? Is it likely that a factory reset might fix this sort of issue?

Silly question but did you happen to reboot and test again? My aunt has a 2012 Kia Soul and it failed to pair once (same with my wife's Note 4) and a reboot of each device fixed it. Same with our used 2014 Kia Rio.

I did try a reboot and actually even chatted with tech support at Huawei. They seemed to think it was just incompatible. But since you've had similar issues resolved I think I'll try a factory reset when I get home this evening. It's not like it's a ton of work to fix. We have a 2012 Soul, too. Knowing it should work with the car gives me hope.

Best of luck. Let us know if you get it paired up

No dice. Tried a factory reset and it does the same thing. Weird.
I'll set the Kia to "Pair"
I'll open bluetooth settings on the Mate 9.
I select "KIA MOTORS" on the Mate 9.
The Kia says "Phone Paired" or whatever.
Normally at this point, the bluetooth icon would appear on the Kia and a connection would be made.... Instead, no icon.
The Mate 9 says "Pairing..." and it's grayed out as though it's still trying to pair with the Kia.
Eventually the Mate 9 shows "KIA MOTORS" under Available Devices as though it was successfully paired, but it still won't allow me to connect - neither from the phone or from the Kia...
Weird.
Since the Mate 9 pairs with my aftermarket JVC stereo in my 350z, I have to assume the issue is with the Kia stereo... So if I were to return/exchange my Mate 9 it seems likely that the same issue would occur, right?
Guess if I want Bluetooth I'll have to go install an aftermarket stereo.

Yeah I agree it's got to be something with the Kia itself. Just a quick Google search shows that the 2012 is said to have BT issues. I mean you could take it into a local Kia dealer and see what they say? (They'll probably blame the phone lol).

Android Auto issue

Anyone having an issue with Android Auto on the OP7P?
When i connect mine to the car the only volume that displays on the radio screen is "prompt level" and i cannot control the volume levels of the radio or phonecall. I have to disconnect and reconnect the phone several times before it works.
This was never an issue with my OP6. I reinstalled the apk just to be sure, but same problem.
Just wondering if someone has same issue or knows of a fix?
Thanks

Your doing better than me. I can't get Android Auto to work at all with my headunit.
Really annoying as it works fine with my Pixel 2XL.

Android Auto working perfectly on my wife's 2019 Audi A6.
What Android software are you guys on? I haven't tried 9.5.8 but 9.5.7 worked.

Beside of Dual Sim Selection everything works as expected.

9.5.8

Android auto sucks with OnePlus (I had 6 and now 7 pro) on Renault. Screen is always pixelated and not responsive.

I too have had issues with Android auto. I have a GMC canyon 2018 and notice that sometimes when I plug the phone in, it does not automatically show up. I have to manually force it to show. I also have had it turn off completely.

Working fine on my 2018 Kia forte.

Fine here on my honda crv 2018 and my wifes Kia

I tried 4 different USB c cables. And my OnePlus 7 pro works perfectly with 1 of them and not at all with the other 3 (including the OnePlus Red one).
Can see any difference between the cables apart from length...the one that works is only 50cm long.

Works just fine for me here on a 2017 Seat Leon, 2018 Seat Ibiza and 2019 Nissan Micra.
Note: I realized that enabling ADB debugging causes issues with Android Auto.
Also, check your permissions for the Android Auto app.

every time I have had issues with AA it has been a cable problem, lets not get into the fact that Google decided to route some audio through USB and some over BT...that was STUPID. I dislike apple but the "function" of carplay makes AA look like a bugger

Skoda Superb OP7PRO
Hello
I can not connect OP7 pro with Columbus system in Skoda Superb, I was using red cable which was delivered together with phone. Anyone have an idea how to fix it?

Check the firmware version on your AA unit. Updating it can help solve alot of issues i found.

For anyone still following this thread; I tried for days to get my Android auto working on my OP7 pro. I even rooted the phone and installed LineageOS, tried various cables that I owned. The car was fine as it worked flawlessly with my Pixel 2.
It eventually came out as being a cable issue. Even the red cable provided by OnePlus didn't work. I bought EasyAcc short usb to usb C cables and it now works, though I also have the usb default as File Sharing, unknown sources on, and resolution up to 1080p (Android auto developer options).
I've since put the phone back to stock OxygenOS and it still works.
I hope it helps someone else who's stick, as I had almost given up hope!

Hmmm I just bought a 2019 Nissan Maxima SR 3 weeks ago and I just plugged in my OP 7 Pro with the red cable that came with my dash car charger (Dash not Warp) I bought with my OP 5 when OP5 launched and AA works flawlessly. It downloaded AA on my phone automatically paired and works. To my surprise, it works with all my 3rd party apps as well. Textra, Bluemail, Whatsapp and Player Pro Music player, Google Assistant as well as Google Maps and Waze ofc.
No idea why people have issues and others don't. AA installed in the cars are the same version correct?
I should add that I'm on Stock OOS 9.5.11 Rooted with TWRP and EX Kernel installed.

Android Auto works perfectly with my 2019 Chevy Traverse and my wife's 2019 Chevy Equinox. It hasn't mattered what cable I have used either.

Bluetooth issues

I am having tons of difficulty connecting my 4a to 2 different ford sync systems. It will connect and disconnect frequently. Audio is like a scratched cd from the mid 90's. I am not having difficulty using my pixel buds at all. Anyone else with issues? Also, Google maps last night just spun me in circles. Hoping I don't need an RMA and that it is a known issue that Google will push a fix for. Thanks.

I was connected for several hours to a Ford Sync system over multiple days. Phone calls and music were fine. No connection issues (yet).

I have no issues at all but then again I'm on Android 11

Factory reset and reinstalled apps as opposed to transferring data from my old phone seems to have fixed my issues.

Had the same issue = put it in safe mode and it worked fine. They suggested I uninstall my apps one by one until i find the issue. 100 apps....**** them.

So, try a factory reset and restore data from your Google account. That worked well for me.

Mine kept dropping connection to a Sony HU. Works fine over USB.

I started having issues only with Youtube Music and Google Play music but not with Youtube or Google Podcasts in my car. Running android 11 beta so I submitted a issue tracker report for it.
Update: issue was temporarily resolved by turning off the car crash detection in the Personal Safety app.

My issue is a little different, any time I use an aux cord and the phone locks, the audio stops until I unlock it again. Bluetooth works fine for me though.
I should also mention I'm on the A11 Beta

I reset it - reinstalled apps music worked but now calls cut out - I can take a call for 30 seconds then it switches off the car to the phone for no reason them back to the car like 30 seconds later - Tired of it - returning phone. Piece of ****.

So far, no issues on my 4a with my Plantronics Voyager 5200 (countless hours used) and my 2016 Subaru Outback (limited use; but took about a half a dozen calls with no issues at all). Both syncing & operation seemed seamless & a bit faster than my Pixel XL. :good:

lol - auto BT couldn't possibly be a factor here, nah. Blame the Pixel...exclusively.
Honda and Subaru in our stable, both 2019s. Both have a tendency to 'take over' BT and kick off other devices. A couple times I have pulled into garage and immediately connect to spouses conversation, sometimes disconnecting her in the process. Very unprofessional when on a business call. Both vehicles do it regardless of handset. Android and iOS gizmos. Ridiculous, presumptive behaviors on the part of auto head unit.

I have a s20 5g works perfectly previous phone was a moto z3 worked perfectly - and I am not the only one reporting bluetooth issues. I am a phone junkie i have three phones right now oneplus 6t. iphone 8 and s20 5g as my daily driver - never had an issue on the same car. Ever.

Yep - don't see a ground swell of BT complaints beyond the usual grumbles for a new device. Got a 15 day return window; seems like the best option for you.

I couldn't connect to my JVC, seemed to have some conflict with my previous 5T. Something about wrong code or password. I cleared bluetooth memory on the JVC and then connected to 4a fine.

Question Android Auto (Wired) Black Screen

Good Day Amazing People!
I have recently switched from samsung note 8 to s22u.
My wired android auto on pioneer DMH-Z5150BT worked like charm with note 8, even my partner's s8+ and s20u.
But when I connect s22u it goes into black screen.
I have tried quality connecting cables but no luck.
Please help me fix the problem.
Thanks In Advance!

tried different versions of AA apk?

Sounds like you got a duffer like me.
Finally got my preorder ... is AA bad for everyone else?!
Holy smokes... Android Auto is driving me crazy nuts on this S22 Ultra. Tried the offical cable from my Note9, and two expensive aftermarket ones and all 3 display a laggy, mess. Trying to use Waze and Android Auto as a whole is unbearable on...
forum.xda-developers.com
If you leave it on black screen for approx 10-15mins it will get to install, but then it'll be less than 1 fps and unusable. So much so, I've been tethering to my note9 which works brilliantly even after 4 years of service.
I've tried about 6 different cables so far, but none seem to work. im getting a $40 3.1usb c-a cable over the weekend to try that as a final straw.

Your suggestions and comments are highly appreciated!
When the data cable is plugged in it won't start until updated. I followed the instructions it goes to black screen.
Both my phone and stereo system is on warranty, I am unable to identify the issue.
Please advice if anyone have a FIX!

I had to use the factory cable along with an adapter, usb-a to c, to get my phone to work with AA. There are still occasional hiccups, but they are few and far between.

I've seen so many report similar AA issues, I recall the reply from samsung was that the phone was not compatible with the Pioneer device and was suggested that they reach out to Pioneer to update or something of that sort.

try previous versions of AA from apkpure\apkmirror

Mine worked with a Highlander / JBL factory head unit, but not on my truck with a Pioneer. I don’t think it’s a cable issue since there’s enough bandwidth to play YouTube videos on the pioneer using Pioneer’s goofy web link app using whatever cable.

I had strange issues with AA with my 2019 Honda Pilot. AA with pixel 6 won't work except with the cable that came with older pixel phones. Note 10, Note 20 Ultra as well as S22 Ultra all either disconnect or don't recognize the phone with the same cable. They work fine when a cheap thin cable.

I have no issues with my S22 Ultra connecting to my Hyundai Santa Fe. It had been a while since I connected it since I have built in navigation and was surprised by the update to the interface. Need to play around with it some more, but it is much more functional than before.

S22 is known to have AA issues with several headunit including Pioneer. Blank black screen.

..good nows guys
android auto have updated today with version 7.7.121904 which has fixed the black screen issue with my pioneer head unit.
But I am not able to locate google maps or waze.
Is anyone facing the issue?
Thanks in advance!

Updated here, still 1 fps.

So, it looks like the AA v7.7 beta fixes the black screen issue on some Pioneer head units, but at the same time, causes the same issue on other Pioneer units where there was no problem with the non-beta. I have a Pioneer AVH-3400NEX in one car and a Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX in another car.
The 3400NEX gives me a black screen with the non-beta version(although you can still hear audio, etc). The beta fixes the issue completely.
The 4660NEX works perfectly with the non-beta (v7.5.62...), but when I install the v7.7 beta, I get black screen on the 4660NEX(but audio works) . . .
Any thoughts on this?
Edit: By the way, AA works perfectly on both head units when connected with my old S10 running non-beta AA.

Question S22 Ultra Android auto not working.

Hello, i'm new happy user of s22 ultra and just discovered that android auto not working in my car.
I used an s21 plus that works just great.
My car is Skoda Kamiq model 2021 with latest software. Tried all stuf, restart, update, clear chace, diferent cables, etc.
If anyone know some tips please help. Thank you.

Android Auto has several known issues. It is not necessarily a problem with your phone. Other devices are having issues too.

I had some issues with mine but i resolved it. I have a 2020 Honda CRV and the first time I set it up everything worked flawlessly. Then a couple months later it wouldnt connect thru the port with the cable. Tried multiple cables nothing happened. Then finally I noticed the Bluetooth wasn't on. Before when I connected to the car port it would always turn bluetooth on automatically and it wasn't doing that anymore. So what I did was turn on bluetooth, reboot the phone and then plug it back in and it worked again. Also make sure you dont have any other phones paired on your car that might be interfering. That happened to me about 3 times when it wouldnt connect and turning on bluetooth rebooting phone then plugging it back in always made it work again.

On my skoda superb 2017 i had problems with AA all the time restarting. charging was ok but i couldnt get google maps navigation on the radio. Then i bought new cable and now it is ok

Tried several tips from all the places, nothing work... S22 plus have the same issues on my car like s22 ultra, but s21 plus is ok...think to stay on s21 plus or so...
From samsung help told me that i must contact google because they ar the producer of app, no way to get an proper answer from google or samsung. Maybe in future updates they solve something.

Does android auto starts and then disconnects? If you have an old pixel phone cable or a thick cable try with that. Also set battery to unrestricted. Do you by any chance have a wireless charger in car and keeping the phone on the wireless pad when trying to use android auto? I have seen issues with aa when I keep the phone on the wireless pad occasionally with my Honda Pilot.

Doesn't connect at all, i dont have wireless charging in car, conection is by cable, messages is "connection failed", calls and media works great.

Mine works fine in my Ford Focus 2018, i have a Snapdragon version and use the AA Wireless box.
But, yesterday i saw an article about AA and around all the problems many people have with the Google Maps. Now they allowed us to use "Waze" in AA to. I tried it today, worked like a charm to.
Try it out then?

Try the app "Waze" they updated AA some days ago and now we can use Waze. They did it because of all the problems people have
I tried it out today, worked 100%, but so do the G maps (in my car).
