Problem with in car bluetooth connection

A7AS — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:18:34 GMT

Recently bought my Xperia S (LT 26i) and tried to connect it to my BMW E60 bluetooth system which worked with my iPhone and Nokia E71 perfectly. Car and my Xperia pairs with no problems, but the bluetooth connection repeatedly goes on and off every 15-20 seconds. That's very annoying.

Tried to pair/unpair both car and phone several times. Rebooted phone several times too. Nothing helps. Any solutions?

I'm running Android 4.0.4. Build number 6.1.A.0.452.

Do you mean that the Bluetooth turns off and on by itself or is it just the connection that's being dropped and reconnected?

It sounds like the bluetooth audio bug that sony hasn't fixed yet in ics.

On my device Xperia neo V with Android 2.3 worked perfectly. After upgrading to Android 4.0, it makes pairing the device with automotive. I'm waiting for the update to Android 4.0 solution.

I'm not sure but try this : go to Settings>Bluetooth>Activate Bluetooth>press the button on the right>visibility timeout then choose (one hour) or (Never timeout)

Have the same issue with a Xperia Z and my BMW E60 (2004). I can make a call but I have no audio in the car. Then my connection goes down.

I have a Sony Car Stereo with bluetooth installed in my car and it works perfect. It pairs quickly, doesnt drop connection, plays music thru my car stereo speakers & can receive & make calls without having to pick up my phone at all.

Maybe the software is designed to work well with Sony car audio systems. Maybe the next update will fix all issues you guys are having.

Common! New protocols must include the early ones. My xperia Z have the last BT version. This is something that Sony must fix soon.

OK! I found a kind of solution for my BMW. Tur on BT in the Z only after initialize the i-drive (ignition). Works prefecly (incoming or outcoming calls & contacts) Not 100% but works! In any case I hope the next android 4.2 can fix that...

OK, my car is 2003 BMW, BT worked fine with Xperia arc and all other phones.

I had the same problems as discussed here, however this worked for me although inconvenient.

1. Ensure BT is off on the phone.

2. Start engine and then activate the BT on the phone,

This method of connection worked for me for the last few days, all be it a bit inconveneinet especially if you pop in an out of your car !

In cocnlusion it seems the connection is NOT mainatained if BT is already activated on the phone.
