I have read and confirmed myself that there is a problem syncing contacts to the car from android if the contact has a picture associated with it.
I'm running an android phone with CM7 on it.
Ok, so I just purchased my first Lexus (2008 GS 350 - 46K miles) and I'm having issues syncing my contacts with the car. The phone syncs. What am I doing wrong, is there some function on the phone I don't know about?? I've also read there might be issues with the Galaxy S4, is this true, if so, how can I get it to work?? Short of buying a new phone!!
View 12 RepliesI played around with the audio system (Golf R with Nav) and it would not show any media even though the phone was paired and I was able to make the calls. Pandora would not play through the speakers either (BT streaming enabled). A sales guy with an IPhone had no problems - as soon as he would hit 'Play' in iTunes, the music streamed just fine.

In the last month whenever I get into my car the Bluetooth in my car does not recognize my phone. I have to turn off my Bluetooth from my phone and turn it back on. No problem then for the rest of the day. Everything works ok until the next morning.
Is the problem with my phone or with my car?
When setting up blutooth, only a handful of my contacts transferred to the car. Why or how to get the entire list to transfer over??
View 13 Replies I've been driving Lexus since 1995. My new GS is a 2008 model (with a President pack according to local French definition). I use windows phones (Lumia series) and I can easily connect these phones for conversations while driving over BT. But when I try to transfer my contact data to the car, the BT connection fails and when I stop this transfer, the BT connection comes alive again.
I only have/use windows phone (windows 10 and windows 8.1). any hint where I could look to to solve this problem ?
another question related to this : can I stream audio from my phone to the Mark Levinson system via BT ? apparently it does not work with my windows phones .
I have a 2012 Prius Two, a monitor with Bluetooth capabilities. I use the Samsung Galaxy Note II with Sprint on Jellybean Android.
I have tried numerous music players on Android and here's what happens:
Music plays fine. Bluetooth paired perfectly. Randomly the entire head unit will reboot. There is no pattern. It happens after about a minute and a half. It shuts off and comes back on.
I do not have an AUX in unfortunately. When I tried my wife's HTC EVO 4G on Android It worked perfectly. Only Bluetooth.
I tried to install entune. No dice. it says that ny VIN is invalid.
I just got my 2016 GTI and I was able to connect to Android Auto once and use the GPS from my phone but it doesn't work anymore.
I know compatibility is not the issue since it worked once and I also tried to replace the USB cable just in case. I went through uninstalling and reinstalling the app on my phone as well as doing a factory reset on the MIB.
Every time I try to connect, it looks like the app launches on my phone and dies immediately. I then get a connection error on the car's screen.
What else I can try before I go back to the dealership?
When I looked at them a couple days ago I noticed that on the top of the original springs (I'd say first and maybe some of the second down) looked shiny and clean like it was making contact with the spiral above it. Could this be a warning sign of needing new springs or is this somewhat normal? The Car is a hair under 82k miles.
View 4 RepliesSongs listed in the "browse" are not correct(looks like an OLD SYNC) and can't get it to update to the new songs that are listed on my phone. Tried to delete the phone on BT devices listed and re-start the phone, didn't work. When clicking through on the steering wheel dials, the correct songs play though. Also, if you try to search for songs and go "backward" from Z-A, the songs listed are completely incorrect for the alphabet.
View 2 RepliesI have a no start on my 2003 6.0. What I've discover is that I have two issues, ICP pressure is low and the FICM is not syncing. My plan of attack is to fix the sync problem first then the ICP issue. FICM main power is good holds at 47.32 during crank but it has no FICM sync, I've check the camshaft position and crankshaft position sync status and it returns a value of in sync, it also reaches a max rpm of 257 during crank. Given those two values I think the cam and crank sensors are good. I did a visual inspection on the wire harness and can find no chaffing, shorts or hard bends. I think I either have a bad PCM or FICM. How I can narrow it down to one of the two?
View 14 RepliesGot the 2015 Sonata Limited 2.4 a few weeks back. One issue that I have encountered is that when I receive a phone call while driving I answer the call but neither me or the other person can hear the audio. I have to go to the phone screen- select the option to switch to private and then switch back to hands-free and then it works.
When I place calls it works as it should- it only does this when I receive a call.
I decided to reset my Bluetooth module under my partner seat to listen to my Pandora and found this broken part.... It connects to .....
View 2 RepliesMy dad just purchased a 2010 Toyota Camry and once we paired my iPhone 4 to the Bluetooth system, the speech command system stopped working.
Did something go wrong during the process? The bluetooth system is working perfectly fine as in the music will play as well as receiving phone calls. However, when I want to pair a second phone to the system, the speech command system wont work and it would just take the screen to the start with it saying "welcome". Normally, it would take you to the setup of pairing a phone, but this time it takes me back to the "welcome" part when you start the car.
I took my truck to the dealer because my steering wheel buttons quit working as far as going forward or back between songs via bluetooth. The tech said the buttons don't work via bluetooth from the factory and I told him he was wrong. They worked in a 2007 Edge, 2008 F150, 2009 Fusion, 2009 F250, and until the day before, my 2012 F150. He said "You must be mistaken". I took it home, pulled Fuse 2 (Sync) waited a couple of minutes (Nice place for the fuse box, Ford) put the fuse back, let Sync load, repaired, etc, and my steering buttons now work again. I only use bluetooth with both my S3 and Note 2, so if your buttons stop working, do you always have to pull the fuse, or is there an easier way to fix this? That's the fix I found.
View 8 RepliesI have a 2005 RX330 that is fully loaded (Navigation, Bluetooth, steering wheel controls). About 6 months ago almost all of the technology stopped working. The navigation ask for a repair disk. The bluetooth stopped working. The radio still works, but recently it has been spotty, like you will turn on the car and the radio will not work, and no matter how much you turn the volume up or down no sound will come on until you turn the car off and turn it back on.
View 2 RepliesI've found lots of good resources here about disabling the backup beep with a bluetooth OBDII device, but I don't have access to an android phone. I have a windows 7 laptop.

How to exit out of the bluetooth screen when i don't have the phone sync'd up?? I want to get back to the regular screen that has all the other options like the digital speedometer, trip time...etc. It eventually resets back to that screen, but it takes a few days for it to happen and annoys the crap out of me.
