I have a Pioneer car stereo with built in Parrot bluetooth and media connection. I had this issue with my previous phone so it must be either an Android issue or problem with my car stereo bluetooth. Every time I connect bluetooth to the car stereo the phone enables media connectivity and I have to manually go in and turn it off again. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off again as it says it's connected even though it isn't (tick box is ticked but if I untick it it connects and I have to untick it again and OK it to verify). Also if I disconnect it then cycle through the sources on the car stereo as soon as I get to bluetooth it enables it again.
I don't want it on because I want to hear media audio through the phone speakers and phone calls through the car stereo.
Android 4.1.2 at present.

I think the answer lies in the question here,, Parrot Bluetooth Media Connection.
The stereo isn't 'smart' enough to determine that what is connecting to it is a Phone/MP3 and as such you wont be able to split the audio to have the phone play music and the Stereo take calls, it'll end up being one over the other.
One way around this would be to test with a completely different Bluetooth Headset to see if this allows music to be played on the Device and Calls to come through on the Headset,, failing that its going to have to be a potential dev jobby to split how the device sends its audio and to what specific device,,, if that lies with HTC and Android/Us or Pioneer/Parrot themselves,, might be worth asking whats the official standpoint on this with the Manufacturer and see if they are getting this same issue from multiple folks

I have the same problem with my HTC One across four different ROMs, two GE and two Sense.
It's NOT an issue with my car stereo (uConnect system) as it works flawlessly on my Nexus 7 and VZW Galaxy Nexus. I prefer to have media (music, Ingress etc...) play over the phone. Only thing I want to play over the uConnect is the actual phone. No matter how many times I unselect media in the bluetooth settings it selects it again.
I see this is an old thread, anyone have any ideas?
Nope. It does not always do it though. I found that if I leave bluetooth on it seems to be OK just as long as I don't switch through from aux to radio to CD and back to USB again on the Pioneer. If I use the automatic bluetooth app to save battery it connects but then connects with the media option enabled. Bummer.

I've just installed Bluetooth Auto Connect have to go run some errands in a little while, I'll let you know if it helps out managing profiles or not.
If it works let me know what settings you used as I don't understand all the options lol.
bluetooth problem
Hi developers: Thanks Team Venom for a great ROM. I have only one problem. Rom 2.7 no problem with Bluetooth in the car. 3.1 Installation of clean and dirty disables bluetooth. Ten seconds connected and then disconnected. Again, connects and disconnects. So it all over again. It is in version 3.6 ... any change BT software? You can install the software separately BT? Or any other advice? Thank you very much
edit: I deleted the original settings in the car. Again the connection and still the same problem.

Quite a while ago I bought a Sony BT3600U car stero as it was bluetooth enabled so I could stream music from my Kaiser direct to the car speakers.
All was working well until I moved the car stereo to my new car.
Now although it's all paired up fine when I turn on the car stero it just links to the handsfree bluetooth but doesn't automatically go to wireless stereo.
Instead to get the wireless stereo to work I have to go into bluetooth settings click on xplode (which is the car stereo) and then choose set as wireless stereo.
I know from before that I managed to get it to automatically switch to wireless stereo when in range of the partnered car stereo but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it.
Does anyone have any clues?
Sounds to me like it's an issue with the stereo, not the Kaiser.
Perhaps try disabling the handsfree service (for that pair) on the Kaiser? I can't remember exactly if you disable certain services.

I have an XCarLink and I have the same behaviour which is a bit annoying. I did a bit of searching a while ago but never got anywhere. If there is an (easy) answer to this I would be interested.
Andy
No it's def not the stereo , i've got it working sort of using A2DP toggle but it's not automatic.
Installed A2DP toggle and linked it to the audio manager on the kaiser.
So I just click the play button on my home screen and it kicks in the wireless stereo and launches the audio manager at the same time and it all works.
It's just annoying as I know that before I moved the stereo from my Honda civic to my hyundai Coupe all I had to do was just start audio manager and the wireless stereo kicked in automatically.
I've seen this too; I have a Sony BT5000 (basically the same as the OP), and I've seen it with both Wizard & Kaiser devices.
A bit more testing - expected behaviour?
I went out in the car earlier and had to do the 'set as wireless stereo' trick to get the BT streaming working with the XCarLink. When I switched off the engine and the head unit powered off the headset icon disappeared from the phone (which is normal) indicating there was no connection. I then left the car but left the bluetooth enabled on the phone instead of switching it off as I normally do. When I returned and drove off the partnership was re-established and the headset icon re-appeared and I was able to stream music etc without doing the 'set as wireless stereo' trick.
I tested this a couple of times and the behaviour was the same - i.e. leave BT enabled on the phone but switch on/off the XCarLink (car kit) and the partnership re-establishes each time with Wireless Stereo working. Switch BT off and then back on on the phone and you have to manually select Wireless Stereo.
Is this the expected behaviour or is there a trick to getting this working seamlessly?
Andy
That didnt' work for me. I even did a hard reset on my phone to see if there was something I had installed causing it not to relink.
If I had any hair, i'd be pulling it out by now
It's so frustrating knowing that I had worked it out once before but when it comes to the crunch you can't remember for the life of you how you did it.
Well i've been searching for an answer and found this here

There is a very simple fix to enable the Pioneer to recognise and connect to your phone. You see the Pioneer is searching for a phone or a Smartphone, the Trinity identifies itself as a PPC and so the Pioneer ignores it.
The Class of Device or CoD must be changed so that the Trinity identifies itself as either a phone or Smartphone.
If you change the Dword Data value in.... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SY S\COD"
to 5374476 (decimal) and set bluetooth to discoverable in your Trin, you should find that it connects automatically.
It took me 8 months to find this out.
PS. I don't have the problem with not hearing the callers.

But it didn't work for me - on the plus side though I did find a really cool mortscript from the same guy which when I plug the kaiser into my car cradle/charger it recognises the car stereo (but doesn't set to "wireless stereo" and automatically loads up my media player
My search continues
EDIT: Ok found that once the initial partnership for wireless stereo is done, if I turn off the radio and turn it back on again, the partnership is lost as usual until I press channel 6 (pause) on my head unit and then it comes back on.
i want to report an issue/bug that i've encountered yesterday when i purchased jabra bt620s bluetooth headset for listening music and making phone calls with my magic with ION rom.
when i connect the paired headset with the bluetooth enabled from before, the device only connects for a few seconds in MEDIA AUDIO mode, then remains only in phone audio mode, i have to disable and reenable the bluetooth on the magic to full connect the headset. annoying.
inf instead i enable the bluetooth on the device after that i've powered the headset on, the connection is full from the beginning....
result: i cannot let the bluetooth on in my magic.. because it's useless... i have to go then in preferences, wireless, bluetooth settings, ecc, ecc anyway =(
anyone with this problem?!?!
do you thik this is an ION ROM problem or bug?!?
try holding down the tap on the device in bt settings. then select to connect to media only. this works with my G1.
Is there an app for android to automatically connect A2DP when the handsfree connects?
I used to use an app called autoA2DP on win mobile.
At first pairing it connects both a2dp and handsfree, after that only handsfree connects automatically, any help would be appreciated as it's already driving me nuts....
Thanks!

Go to bluetooth settings, long press on the device in question, then options. Make sure Phone and Media are both checked.
Yep, they are... I can manually connect a2dp from both the car stereo and the phone, it just doesn't happen automatically like the handsfree does, had the same prob with windows mobile, but an xda dev user here developed autoA2DP to watch for a handsfree connection, then activate A2DP.
I don't know why yours is different, but mine auto connects for both every time I turn my Bluetooth headset on.
It does vary between headsets a bit. My Jabra Halo's connect automatically when I power on the phone or the headset. On the other hand my JBL Reference 610's had to be connected manually every time.
Still it seems odd though that is connects in handsfree and not A2DP, I always thought it was all or nothing. When a device connects it gives all available profiles and the phone decides what to accept. I don't know, sorry.
I have the same problem.. it does not auto connect with my car's bluetooth. The only way it auto connects is when I have the discoverable mode on (which has a limit of 116 secs or so). So an app that lets you be discoverable all the time would be great!

Same problem but reverse. My phone connects automatically to my phones music everytime i switch it on, however the more important headset/phone functions do not. I must manually disconnect and reconnect the stereo from within the phones bluetooth settings for both to work. Have looked through hundreds of threads found loads of people eith the same problem, yet no solutions. Would love an app to just disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth the moment it detects a paired device in range.... as yet found nothing...
Well... I'm getting the same.
I have LiquidAUX on my car and to have both phone and a2dp synced, I have to restart phone BT and LiquidAUX every time I go into car. And most of the times I can only have 1 connection each time, or phone is on and a2dp is off or a2dp is on and phone is off. It's really annoying since I had an HTC Hero with Android 2.2 and it used to work with no problems...
Hi guys,
Before one month I buy HTC Desire android and I have problem streaming audio through Bluetooth. I have connected the phone with my car and they are paired. Every time when I go in the car my phone is connected to the car Bluetooth automatic, but I'm not able to run A2DP.
I'm with latest Runney rom, before that I tested with MIUI XJ, but no success with both.
Can some one tell me if there is rom without these 2 issues - bluetooth auto connection and a2dp.
Thanks
Hi,
I have a Nexus 6 (stock 5.1, rooted but no other system modifications), a pair of Philips Fidelio M2BT Bluetooth headphones and a Watch Urbane (fully stock). When I connect the headphones to the phone with the watch already connected I get no media sound in the headphones even though they connect successfully. If I look go to the Bluetooth settings the headphones are listed as "Connected (no media)". Sometimes the sound is played on the phone speakers and sometimes nowhere. I can usually get around this by first disconnecting the watch in the Wear app before connecting the headphones and then the watch. Sometimes I also need to turn Bluetooth off and back on before starting to reconnect the devices and sometimes I need to reboot the phone. I've used the phone and headphones together for half a year with no issues whatsoever. Also note that I'm not trying to connect the headphones to the watch but to the phone.
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

I don't have my Urbane yet, so I'm not sure if I can help. But when the phone is connected to the Urbane, can you edit the Bluetooth connection on the phone to ensure that it's not taking audio (I know it doesn't have speaker, but is it taking the Media Audio Profile?)

Thanks for the suggestion but no, the Urbane is listed only as a "raw" Bluetooth device, i.e. there are no check boxes for profiles in it's Bluetooth settings. In fact it's never listed as connected at all in the Bluetooth device list. I figured that this is some kind of Android Wear quirk but it's my first Wear device so I'm not sure.
I have the watch and my bluetooth speaker in the car and I have had no issues using both of them. I also have a third bluetooth USB adapter connected to the USB of my car that allows me to stream music and no issue with it either. I have the OnePlus One with custom firmware running Lollipop 5.1.1
My bluetooth speaker only has "Phone Audio" checked (no other options), the bluetooth USB stick has the "phone audio" unchecked and the "Media Audio" checked, and the Urbane does not have a check mark option.
Try updating the Android Wear app.. they released some update yesterday that might help fix your issue.

Thanks for the info. The new wear app didn't make any difference but the fact that you have a couple of Bluetooth audio devices working flawlessly made me start suspecting my headphones instead of the watch - didn't really know where to start so I picked the watch since it's the latest addition. Searched around a bit and realized that others were having connectivity problems with them too, especially when using them with multiple devices (fantastic headphones in every other aspect). This review was really interesting and the tip about how to reset the headphones did the trick for me. Not a great solution as I probably need to repeat it after using them with other devices than my phone but at least I now know that the watch is not to blame - it was just the trigger for some bug in the crappy headphone Bluetooth implementation.
Situation:
when my NOTE 8 is connected to my LEVEL U PRO and i get in my car, phone continuously pups up a screen asking for a password for CAR AUDIO and a notification sound every minute, its disturbing...
(it keeps trying to connect to CAR BT even though they're UnPaired AND phone is still connected to LEVEL U Headphones)
when phone and car are paired, PHONE connects to both devices automatically and i dont want that so i UNpaired them.
my car BT is AlwaysOn and cant turn it off
Question: is there any way to stop this?
Is it possible that it's your car BT that is thinking "I was paired to the Note 8... ah, there is it, hey Note 8 why won't you talk to me?"
I would try flushing your car BT's settings, or if you can't do that, try and pair it to a different phone so that it doesn't keep trying to bother your Note 8.

You Are Right.
seems like my CAR BT has a list of paired devices, that when any of them is in reach it tries to connect to it, so tough i Unpaired CarBT from phone, my car still has it in it's list and tries to connect, but my phone requires password cause I've UnPaired them.
removing my phone from that list SOLVED the problem (the pop up and the notification sound)
BUT, I would better like them to be Paired AND Not Connect Automatically. is this possible in android?
cuz you know when i want to connect to CAR BT i have to PARK and re-enter the password (then they are paired and i have to Unpair and delete device from list again)
it would be nice to have them paired but only connect when i want (for music play)

What happens if you pair them, but switch off the media facility? Then you can just enable/disable the media as and when you want to use it in the car?

I didn't quite understand that, but i think the best solution (for me) is to let my phone connect to both CarBT and LevelU, then i disable call audio for CarBT from my phone's paired device settings.
so CarBT has only Media audio
and LevelU has both Media and call (so both works when im out of car and only connected to LevelU)
then, when i'm in my car and connected to both LEVEL and CAR, i set the audio output (from samsung connect panel on pull-down notification area) to CarBT, but since CarBT doesn't have CallAudio, the music will play on car, but during a call, music is paused and call audio comes from my LevelU just as i wanted
i'll have to test for a while for any flaws...
i think you kinda meant the same thing?
