Issues with bluetooth pairing with Mazda

[ptwilliams]

The manufacturers of my car kit, a Bury CC9068 told me today that there's a bug in Android 5.01 that is causing problems in all car kit units. They say it's fixed in new Android versions but it's anyone's guess when the next upgrade is due to the M8.

I have a mazda cx7 and my HTC m8 pairs ok with the Bluetooth in the car the only problem I get is sometimes either making a call or receiving one the Bluetooth drops off and comes back in so I either don't here the person speaking for a a couple of seconds or they don't here me and this happens over and over till one of us ends the call. Im in the uk and with ee my old htc never had this problem.

Deleting all pairings and then pairing my Samsung Andriod phone and my iPod Touch again worked for me!

I followed these instructions:

Hi, I too was having same issue.

After messing around for several hours I managed to get it working perfectly.

1) Delete all existing pairings
2) Turn off NFC on HTC One M8
3) Turn off Bluetooth on HTC One M8
4) Turn car off and reboot phone
5) Turn car on
6) ensure NFC is still off
7) enable bluetooth on HTC one M8
8) Initiate pairing proceedure on Mazda using steering wheel voice setup command etc
9) use 0000 as pin code
10) Hey presto should work.

I just got a new s7 and it will not pair with my 2011 Mazda, I disconnected my other phones (Moto X [1st gen], & iphone 5s) from the car but it still won't connect, the car doesn't show on the s7.
