Pixel Bluetooth issues

[HateGooglepixel]

Yes, I also have Bluetooth issues! So I am going to go back to note 5. With that being said Verizon told me to take my car to get update on my Bluetooth system they said will not pair with 7.0 version nor, will my Galaxy gear. What a rip off...I never had any trouble with note 5 or 7its so frustrating paying this for a phone and can't use it in the car. Or wear my watch.
My car is 2012 Equinox

I haven't received update...Did update help with your Bluetooth issue.

Is anybody else having trouble getting a Bluetooth connection to a Lamborghini Veneno?

I have the exact same problem with old text messages coming through when I receive a new text. 2013 Ford Explorer. I've just turned off message access in the Bluetooth settings for now and until this is resolved.

Yeah I ended up turning the messaging off in my car. Annoying to get a new text message and the car start reading off the 15 or 20 old messages before that.

They have not released any update yet to address the issues.

Just bought a Google Pixel and when I tried to sync with my car (Ford Escape) it wouldn't. Ford's website doesn't list this phone as being compatible with Sync. Is there any app that can get around this problem? Bummer!

You've got to be kidding. My pixel is on the truck being delivered today. I just bought a brand new 2017 escape. I'll try it on that and my 2013 Mustang GT. If it doesnt sync, its going back although I should give Google a chance to work around. But the trouble is their 14 day return window. Ill give them about 5 days then box it up.

It works with Sync 3 in my F150, other than I get multiple text notifications mentioned by others). Calls and music streaming work okay for me. It may depend on what version of Sync you have in your Escape.

So many BT issues with my 2016 Honda Accord AND Android Auto, I need a computer keyboard to type them out.

I have a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee with which the Pixel also does not seem to be able to sync.

So on my 2011 Expedition with the basic no gps SYNC, I had to select "special pin"" on the car menu. The pixel saw "sync" but failed to communicate when asked to. After selecting "special pin" the car then gives a "0000" pin and the Pixel paired. Due to other weirdness I deleted it a few days later and tried again. This time after 2 tries it did communicate and accept the car generated pin. Special pin not required this time. Go figure.

When in a call I initiate the car screen says "In Privacy" instead of caller's name. But the car is connected and the hands free mic in the car is working. Sounds very good actually and it paired quite easily to my wife's 2015 Edge. I could never understand her before on her Droid Mini but her new Pixel sounds very good on the Sync hands free.

Paired instantly with my 2014 FRS.

I've just completed a hard reset. Still no difference. Google should be ashamed..

 

[Philipmom]

No problems with my 2014 sonic. I just hate my link from Chevy. I would pay for an Android auto update that they are putting in the newer models. Sigh.

 

[Applejunkie66]

This seems to happen in my car...if I don't have it plugged into my Android Auto system and I get a call, it will ring and it's through my car speakers. When I try to answer, it will not answer but will continue to ring until I stop and turn the car off and back on again. It does that EVERY TIME.

 

[Applejunkie66]

I have a question. For those of you that it works great for, what storage capacity and color do you have? It's not a total BT problem as it works with my headsets fine but not my car.

Well, I tried again this morning and it paired just fine. Go figure.

 

[Applejunkie66]

Mine pairs fine. My Apple music plays fine. It's the phone calling situation. That's a totally different animal.

I'm having the exact same trouble in my Subaru Outback. I called Google Tech support (The Philippines) and they are aware of the problem. They could not tell me when they are going to send the fix update? I'm pissed. Obviously their R/D is flawed? You're the first one who has posted a problem. Thank you. I just bought the phone today! If I'd known this I wouldn't have bought the phone. I'll be going back tomorrow to exchange for an iPhone 7plus.

 

[Applejunkie66]

7 pluses are hard to come by right now.

I've been having issues with bad static/noise in voice calls when connected to my car's Bluetooth (2011 Subaru impreza). It's almost unusable. Music streaming over Bluetooth is fine, however. Does anyone else experience this issue. I used to have an S6 paired to my car and it was perfect for both voice calls and music.
