Doe the galaxy s II has Bluetooth DUN because my car radio (Parrot Asteroid) can't detect it.
My phone can connect to my radio and i can listen to music on my phone read my contacts, make calls
but i cannot connect it to internet to make the gps maps and coyote work.
Is there a way to enable it?
My previous phone (Samsung galaxy 3) could do it, why would a newer and more expensive device doesn't support it?
I already tried with PDAnet but it disconnects after about 30 seconds.
Please help...
I can't see any option anywhere in my SGS2 to set a BT paired device as "authorized". Every time I enter in my car I've to manually select the BT device and start manually the connection.
I searched in the forum but didn't find answers.
I also tried to look at the filesystem and I found auto_pairing.conf file in which there are a lot of BT manufacturer brands listed in sections like "black list", "white list", .... Is it possible I need to manually modify this file to include my BT manufacturer in the white list section? It sounds really strange!
Is there any other way?
I'd love to know that as well.

Update
I manually modified auto_pairing.conf file adding my car BT manufacturer without any success (I added it in white list with the name already mentioned in the file, so I think that's not a problem of brand name).
My SGS2 continue to ask me to manually select the device to connect to, even if only one BT device is available (car handsfree).
I have the same problem, which i didn't have with my Nexus One running Cynogenmod ROM. I keep my Bluetooth on all the time or most of the time and i would like (like i had in nexus one) when i turn on my car (with Sony MEX-BT3700U car stereo with Bluetooth) that the phone auto-connects with the stereo in a minute or less (or with my plantronics headset when i turn it on), but no, every time i have to go into bluetooth settings and connect on the paired device and then it's connected.
I heard about few application that could help but it would be nice to have it as native function on the phone. I haven't tried these apps yet but if anyone want's to try they can be downloaded from the market, firs is free, the second is not.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
I don't have this problem at all, on any ROM I've tried stock or not. Is your stereo also set up to auto-connect? And is it your phone or your stereo that's refusing the auto connection?

Stereo doesn't have any options, same as Plantronics headset (only ON or OFF), that means that with my old nexus one running CM (or Nokia n95 8GB) when the bluetooth is switched ON and i come near stereo or headset they connect automatically in about 30 seconds max, with my SGS 2 that doesn't happen, i tried everything but it wont auto-connect until i initiate the connection from phone manually.
I have to resolve this because it's killing me !

I wonder if that's the issue; IIRC it's my stereo that I've told to connect automatically rather than my phone. I'll verify on my commute home today.
Mine auto connects to my JVC car head unit, but doesn't to my Belkin Tunestage. No idea why. As it happens, this suits me but it'd be nice to be able to control it.
And the commute begins. The auto connection is an option on my JVC deck, no such option on the phone.

The stereo is recognized same as Plantronics and that is as a head set, but it doesn't want to automatically connect to either of them, every time i have to initiate the connection. There is one way to connect it (partially automatically ) but that's not the solution - i have to turn on the bluetooth on my phone before starting my car, then when phone is in searching mode if the car is started (stereo turned on) then it will connect automatically, if the search mode (that is active for a short time after turning the bluetooth) ended before i start the car (for instance if i keep my bluetooth on all the time on my phone) then it wont connect automatically.
Am i any clearer about my problem ?
I hear what you're saying but it appears that auto connection is initiated by my stereo. If I turn auto connect off on my stereo there is no connection until I tell my phone to connect. I don't see anything on the gsii settings to have the phone auto initiate the connection. I have a recent JVC deck fwiw.

I will check one more time is there any bluetooth settings on my car stereo, but i'm 90% sure that it doesn't have, because this is the first phone that doesn't connect automatically.
I have had similar issues with mine, it will pair with my Kenwood DNX520VBT but wont auto connect.
however i now have a workaround
Turn bluetooth on your GS2 first, then turn on you Radio. once my Radio boots up it initiates the connection and auto connect works.
if i turn on the bluetooth on my GS2 after my radio it never works.
ive got a sony bt3700 stereo, it connected perfectly with my samsung wave, i just upgraded to a galaxy s and i have to do it manually every time so its not the stereo.
Same thing happened to me, old nexus one with CM7 is connecting ok but i have to connect SGS2 manually or make sure that my bluetooth is ON on my phone before i start the car.
I may have the answer......
Hi,
I have a sort of work around.
My Pioneer head unit refuses to auto connect to my SGS2 and I have to do it manually (I connect from the radio in 4 clicks but thats not the point). This was driving me nuts as previous handsets I owned connected within 5 seconds of being in the car.
I then discovered ROMS and went for the Criskelo ROM and it put me on Android Version 2.3.6 (Not sure if that made a difference or its actually the ROM).
Now with that sorted I found that I have an extra function in my bluetooth settings. When I make the device visible I can then choose the visible time-out length. If I set this to NEVER then I have no problems connecting to the headunit everytime I get in my car.
The only problem I have with this is that I pop my phone into Airplane Mode each night and because that disables the bluetooth it loses the time-out setting so I have to put the time-out back to never each morning.
With setting the time-out to never I'm not sure what battery drain is like because I'm constantly on my phone and my battery depletes rapidly anyway but it seems like a fix for now.
I hope this makes sense and helps people out until a proper fix becomes available.

Hi All,
Sorry for bumping an old-ish thread, but it seemed the most appropriate thread, and better than creating a new one of the same topic!
This is what I believe to be true:
*IF* Bluetooth is enabled on the GS2 (and the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit) then when the car is turned on, it will auto-connect to the GS2
*IF* Bluetooth is NOT enabled on the GS2 (and the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit) then when the car is turned on, it will NOT connect to the GS2 (understandably!).
*IF* the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit, and the bluetooth on the GS2 is enabled *AFTER* the car has been started, it does NOT Auto-Connect.
From this, I assume that when the car is powered on, it searches for previously paired handsets in order of most recently connected first. If it finds one, then it WILL connect.
Now:
If I leave Bluetooth enabled on my phone, the battery is significantly depleted my mid-afternoon.
I've started using an app which uses the "rough location" (not GPS) to monitor where the phone is located. If it deemed to have moved in X period of time, then it enables bluetooth.
This is great, and works a charm ... BUT it does mean that bluetooth stack on the GS2 is enabled AFTER the car has been moving for a period of time, and thus does NOT auto-connect.
What I've been searching for is:
"When BT stack is enabled on GS2, can it look for previously paired devices and initiate the connection itself?" (Rather than the car connecting to it?) Is there a script or app to do this?
Hi WTFH,
I think it might be more headunit specific. I always have my bluetooth on but it wont connect automatically to my headunit unless I have it set to constantly discoverable (on the handset).
I also use a power saving program called Green Power Premium which will cut bluetooth/data/wifi after a certain amount of time when the phone is in a sleep state. Its great fro saving power as my phone isnt constantly looking for a wifi signal (I don';t use it to control my bluetooth though as I need it on for my car).
Hey DJ_sploits,
Thanks for that ... Yes, I understand that some headsets do not auto-connect to the GS2 if the phone is NOT visible.
But what does seem to be constant is that the GS2 will not auto-connect to any of the headsets if the bluetooth stack on the GS2 is enabled AFTER the headset has come online and available.
One workaround I'm thinking of is:
Enabling a profile which says "When connected to a power source (I'll have to use the power adaptor) then enable bluetooth". Connecting my phone to the power first before starting the car should enable the BT stack before the headset tries to connect.
In fact I could extend this to say "Only enable bluetooth when using power adaptor, and not connected to wifi".
It's still a pain to do this though, as I tend to just jump into the car and don't want to faff about with connecting this and that.
The only other work around I use is to set the visiblity to constant (depending on what android software version you are on). My headunit always picks the phone up if I have it setup like this. the only thing with that is it will eat the battery even more (which is annoying considering there are other phones out there that constantly have their bluetooth on and you never see the battery getting hammered).
The only flaw I can see in your method is the fact you need a power source to knock on the bluetooth. Great for powersaving but it would then mean you would have to remember to connect it to a car charger everytime you got in the car (not too bad if you have it constantly plugged in to the cigarette lighter) and as you set this can be a bit of a faff.
The only way I can see in sorting this is using a power saving app but having your visibilty constantly on for the bluetooth and then we just hope it doesnt eat the battery too much (not to bad for me as I have a charger at work but could be a pain for others). The only problem with this (apart from the battery issue) is that if you knock the bluetooth off or knock the phone to airplane mode (as I do at nights) then when you knock the bluetooth back on it forgets that you want it to be constantly visible so you have to go through the settings and check the box
Hello, I just bought a Xperia S and I did not reach in connection it to my Built-in bluetooth system (a parrot built-in kit in a Citroen). The pjone can see the system but I'm not able to make the system pairing.
I already had difficulties in the past with an X10 but it was linked to Android 1.6 and with my Samsung Galaxy S2 under Cyanogen7. I have no issue to conenct with Nokia E6, iPhone 4 or Android 2.3.X smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire,...).
I think that it could come from the BT stack used by Sony or from their Android adaptation and I don't think I would be able to pair the system till an update could be released or perhaps with ICS.
Does somebody has the same difficulty or a solution ?
Best regards

I had the same issue with my bluetooth IO player.First time when I added it after that it would not connect. Turned bluetooth off and on and automatically connected. Might be worth restarting your phone. If the phone can add it then it should be able to connect to it.
Hello, I do,'t know where to reset my car BT as it is a built-in. One solution could be to remove the fuse....
It is not a question of connexion as I'm not able to pair the BT device and the Xperia.
I have no issue with all the other phones !!!
I have a 2009 Ford Mondeo and my Xperia S paired with the integrated bluetooth unit without any issues. Can browse phone book and call log without any issues and obviously make/receive calls.
Hi Guys,
Im having a real bluetooth issue with my SXS and Merc...I can connect and pair fine, however randomly the phone keeps disconnecting.. ive had this working fine with a Iphone4s and lumia 800 so i dont think its the MB side of things...can anyone shed some light on this?
Hi all,
I'm having problems with my Galaxy S3 (Vodafone UK) pairing with my Audi A3 factory fitted Bluetooth adapter. When I enable pairing, the phone continually 'Connects' to the car, reconnecting every 3 to 4 minutes. If I try to make or receive a call, the audio does not come through the car at all. It will continue in the loop of 'Connecting' (but not really connecting) until I disable Bluetooth on the phone.
I've seen some suggestions around relating to the S3s inability to share the address book with the car adapter, which could be causing the pairing to fail and re-start continuously.
If this is the case, is there a way to stop the phone book sync so I can at least receive calls in the car over Bluetooth?
Sorry if this sounds a bit vague - hopefully someone recognises the symptoms and has a fix for this!

Hello,
I have a NEO N003 with Android 4.2.1.
I have to use a Wireless Display and Bluetooth connection at the same time.
But when a activate wireless display in system settings, the system says "Bluetooth will be turned off when you turn on wireless display".
Is there any solution for that?
Thanks and best regards,
Danta.
Hi Danta,
Same problem here, so I'll start following this thread, although not many reactions yet.
Trying to get a Pioneer Appradio running with my non-MHL 4.2.1: HDMI via Wifi, but for controlling my phone from the radio, it'll need BY on as well…
Hope someone will drop in here.
