Re: Nexus 6P Bluetooth Issues
Hmmm, I could have sworn I posted this after I got home - with my shiny new 6P - last night.
I have a 2008 BMW 3 Series with iDrive and, much to my very pleasant surprise, the phone connected with no problem, uploaded my contacts, and I experienced no interruptions or other quirks when making calls.
When I first got the phone I was at work and did not yet have a SIM card for it but, of course, wanted to play around a bit. So, I connected via WiFi and did some very initial set-up. The out-of-box update popped up and installed at that time, without incident. I saw that it referenced the "November Security Update", but I'm wondering if there might not have been a bluetooth patch in there, as well? I've seen people posting about there being various updates and OS builds floating around out there. Either that or the system in my old car is just too simplistic to have a problem.
Just a thought.
Oh, but I did not try streaming music through the iDrive system, as that has not worked on my last 2 phones due to archaic hardware and/or software in the car. But, I have a work around I've been using for that for the past several years, so that's not an issue for me.
Hope this maybe gives someone else one less thing to worry about.

Bluetooth and Nissan Connect App, 2015 Altima. Worked great with my N4 and works just as well with my N6P.
This bluetooth FM transmitter is working flawlessly for me:
Amazon.com: GOgroove 8456295 e FlexSMART X2 Mini Bluetooth FM Transmitter Car Kit with Hands-Free Calling, USB Charging & Music Controls: MP3 Players & Accessories
Also, this is the best FM transmitter I've ever used. almost daily use for 1.5 years.

Re: Nexus 6P Bluetooth Issues
Can you get your 6P to work via USB with your myford touch? I cannot. I have a new 2015 Flex with sync myford touch. I get a "failed to connect" error when I try to connect the 6P via USB.
I was able to connect with bluetooth with zero problems.

Re: Nexus 6P Bluetooth Issues
2011 Ford Focus with Sync (no MFT). Also having issues getting media to play. I'm able to get phone calls through it, but whenever I try to connect for Play Music, nothing. Also, in Bluetooth settings, says "Connected (no media)." Going to look into any firmware updates for my car with my next oil change.

I had exact same issue. The bluetooth works fine for podcasts and audio. It even works till the phone is connected as soon as you start talking the other party can't hear you. You can still hear them. If you transfer the call to phone, it will randomly switch back to car bluetooth. I tried repairing the phone but I guess this is Android 6.0 issue. I never had problem with Moto X.
2015 volkswagen GTI. I have pretty much the same issue. Streaming audio works fine. The 6P phone connection appears fine, but after a call is connected it eventually loses the bluetooth connection with the car. Usually after a minute or two. Sometimes it picks it back up in 20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't. Moto X 2014 and 2015 Pure edition connection worked fine.
I agree that this is likely a google update issue. Lets hope they get it fixed soon.
Mine is doing the same now. It just seemed to go to be true that it was working after a battery reset. I am rather confident that it is something to do with the software.

2016 Tacoma with no issues. Phone, music and text messages all come through without hitches.

Add me to the list. It was working fine when I got the 6p. But now it just will not connect to my 2015 mustang with SYNC.
Phone calls and streaming music works fine in my '15 Mazda CX-5.
Only issue I noticed is that the music data (Google Play Music) isn't updating when the song changes. Pretty much stuck on showing the Artist, Song & Album Title of the first song that plays.

No problems with My Ford Touch on a 2015 F150. Works perfectly.
