So as the title says.....
I have a OnePlus 7 pro paired to a Samsung Galaxy active 2 watch. I love both devices BUT many times when I'm driving and using my Android auto head unit and I make or receive calls it usually has 3 options phone, speaker phone, and Bluetooth. If I let it use Bluetooth, it will *usually* go to my watch and not my Bluetooth audio for Android auto
I just want to be clear, it's a pioneer 4200nex head unit, not the Android auto app
I am rooted and have made a profile that is if connected to my head unit Bluetooth then it should disconnect from the watch and kill the watch app (tried with and without the killing the app part) all to no avail
I'm so confused, other than literally turning off Bluetooth on my watch to drive, (which kills battery because then it goes to 4g) is there anything I can do to make the head unit Bluetooth default for calls when connected?

I dont know if this is specific to Android Auto or just my pioneer 4100nex, but it seems when i connect or disconnect the phone to android auto the S2 disconnects and does not reconnect until i go to the screen below and turn it on.
Im trying hard to like this watch, but this is frustrating.
I have the exact same issue!!!

This does not happen to my Gear S2. I have Android Auto through my 2015 Sonata.

When using my carkit( 13 Chevy VOLT with MYLINK) I have to turn Bluetooth off on the watch or else I can not connect to my carkit. After it connects I can turn the watch Bluetooth back on and they work fine.
It is like the Gear S2 is taking priority and not allowing me to connect to another Bluetooth device that isn't just A2DP
I do have a Gear S2 3G
I have similar issue Note 4 and Gear S using 4000NEX. when phone detects android auto it kicks my Gear S out. I think it's a safety thing but it does not reconnect even when android auto is complete. The only work around i have set is to have a rule in Automatelt "free app" that will launch gear manager app when the Gear is is disconnected from the Bluetooth. This way it reminds me to reconnect to my watch or else the Gear S stays disconnected. It is annoying, hoping for a better workaround or a fix.
Arghhh just swapped to a Kuga with SYNC 3 and my Gear S3 has the same issue, it just kicks it out and you later realise and manually reconnect.
Reading this the idea for safety makes sense but reading Android forums it should not happen on Google Wear so ...

Same thing. Brand new Chevy Silverado...my link...android auto...gear s2 and samsung note 3. Everytime I get in the truck, android auto disconnects my watch. From my phone, I don't see dates for these posts. (For me 12-26-2016) Hopefully these are recent issues and a fix will show up in an update???
Just adding to the list. Same issue.
I have a Gear S2 classic, Pioneer 4100NEX and Note5. My Gear will usually disconnect with I plug up to the head unit for Android Auto and will not automatically reconnect later. I always have to manually connect to the Gear in the app on the phone.
I have Gear S2 3G, and it disconnects me as well. 2017 Elantra. Only problem is, with the 3G, phone is on, and it tries to forward calls and screws up. So i have missed calls.
Just got a gear s3 frontier and same trouble. Open the android auto app while not connected to your vehicle. Go to settings, check the switch for use bluetooth. Seems to have solved my issue. Not sure why this is defaulted off.

Coming from the Galaxy S8, I was kind of disappointed to find that the Pixel 2 apparently only connects to one Bluetooth device at once. For example the phone will only connect to my car but not my headset at the same time as the S8 did. I like having that because when you don't want to take calls on the car speaker you can just send the calls to the headset without much issue. Is there anyway to get the phone to connect to multiple devices? Any mods that are available to get it working?

I've not figured out a way. In fact, as of the 8.1 update it made my bluetooth worse. When I connect to a BT device, rather its my headphones at the gym, or my car, I have to dial something and hit "dial" on my dialer. When I do that it makes the hangining up sound and then is free to be used for other things. Quite frustrating, really. :crying:
I had my p2 connected to an aftermarket head unit in my vehicle and set it to media only, connected to my Bluetooth ear piece for calls and shared my internet via Bluetooth to my PS vita at the same time. You just have to play with settings for each device.

I have wondered if its an issue with a mismatch between the two bluetooth devices.
It looks like this has been addressed somewhat in Android P. I am running the beta that was released yesterday and the device is now connecting to multiple bluetooth devices. There is a quirk that requires you to go into the bluetooth menu to change the current active device (Think it might have been like that on the Galaxy too) but it does maintain the connection to multiple devices now. It does automatically switch when you turn off one of the devices, such as your car, so this is definitely progress on this front I think.
I have a Galaxy S9+, Gear S3 and a 2018 Jeep with Android Auto. Every time I unplug my S9+ from the car's USB port (which breaks the Android Auto connection) the Bluetooth connection between my phone and watch is dropped. I then have to manually reconnect my phone and watch via the Gear app on my phone. Highly frustrating.
Anyone else have this, or a similar, problem?

Yes mate, having exactly the same issue, got a new Kenwood in car system and now my gear S3 and S9+ looses Bluetooth connectivity every time I get out of the car and have to manually reconnect them each time.... Really annoying!!!
I have a similar issue. I have a S9+ and often when I'm connected to my Sony AA head unit, my phone loses it's connection to my watch. Sometimes this happens immediately after AA launches. Often I will have to reconnect my phone and watch 3-4 times during my 1 hour commute. It also happens sometimes when I'm connected to my Bluetooth headphones.

I think I am having this problem too! I couldn't figure out when it would happen but this makes sense.
Got a new car the other day with Android Auto. Its a Nissan and the phone is also connected by BlueTooth as well as USB for (Android Auto). While driving my watch is connected, but as soon as I turn off the car and get out my watch also disconnects from my Note 8 and I have to re-pair it. Anyone have any ideas? Didn't happen with my Ford (though that didn't have Android Auto), just Bluetooth
so, im not sure if this is the best place for this as there are 3 distinct key factors at play. I have an A8(2018 model) (obviously LoL) and a Gear S3 frontier AND an Pioneer AVH2300NEX headunit which runs android auto. So, i guess 4 distinct factors. Anyways, every time i connect my phone via sub to the deck, it disconnects my watch. I can go into the phone and reconnect it and itll stay connected until the next time i connect to the deck again. Not sure if this is a deck issue, a phone issue, a watch issue or an android auto issue. Any help would be appreciated
Does the watch act as an audio device? It would make sense for only one audio device to be connected at the same time.
I have an A8,, Moto 360 v2, and a BT car system and stay connected. My watch does not have a speaker.
