Can't connect to Ford Bluetooth handsfree device

Hello,
in a few weeks I'll get my new Ford car - equipped with the built-in bluetooth handsfree device. I tried to connect my MDA 3 to this device at several Ford dealers but didn't get any connection.
The MDA finds a "Ford Audio" but can't establish a connection.
Who has any ideas ?
Thanks in advance - Dieter

I have the same problem with a new mondeo...
Everything works with an old nokia 6630 (with a small nokia application I can browse the phonebook as well) but I'm not able to pair the bluetooth ford audio system with my HTC TyTN...
Any ideas?

try using a newer bluetooth stack.

What is a bluetooth 'stack' ?
And how do I change to a newer one?

As far as I know, you'll need to update the Radio portion of your device's ROM based software (the basic software that drives the device).
The best bet in your case I believe would be to just grab a new complete update for your device by searching the wiki for downloads for your device. Download a newer official ROM, install it and try again.
You will lose all saved data on the device though so back it up>

Did upgrading the bluetooth stack fix this connectivity issue to Ford Audio Bluetooth Handsfree devices?

Same problem. I've tried to upgrade bluetooth stack: my BA finds "Ford Audio" but doesn't connect. Please give us some help

after correct pairing (code 0000), press "Phone" on the caraudio system and then "Menu". After that press left or right joypad on the caraudio to set the "Active Phone". It will search and your phone will be correctly paired.
The last paired phone will be automatically active when you turn on the caraudio system next time.
In some cases will also help to install on the device the JETware application... just try.

Problem Solved!
Thank you dark horse, followed your advice and it worked just fine. I can now connect via bluetooh in my ford.

Joying Head Unit + Moga Controller?

Hi All,
I now own a Joying RK3188 1024x600, which I am really loving.
One issue I am having though, is using my Moga Controller with the unit.
The bluetooth will see the device, but will not pair/connect to it.
It is as if the Head Unit will only connect to mobile devices with audio output.
Is there anything I can change, or a patch to alter how the bluetooth operates?
I would really love you suggestions.
I am currently running the rooted rom suggested on the Joying website (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60591423&postcount=12068).
Thanks.

Bumping an old thread. I have a moga controller and when scanned both A and B mode show up but I cannot pair with it on either mode. I tried the info in the link above but I still cannot get it to pair. It shows up as a phone icon instead of a controller on my Bluetooth settings.
Any help?
Edit: it's a 3188 model Android 4.4.4 on latest Malay ROM and 1024x600

OK I added the moga Bluetooth strings in the xposedMTC Bluetooth settings and it now shows up as an obd device. Followed the link posted 2 replies up and I don't think the exposedMTC will fix the issue. I'll try decompiling the Bluetooth files and manually adding them if that's possible.

Following this ^^^ I have tried a bluetooth keyboard and mini bluetooth SNES controller and while I can see it I can't pair with it. Is that a hardware shortcoming or bluetooth.apk shortcoming? I would love to be able to use this SNES controller, I have a SNES emulator installed with a few ROM's but no way to play them. I have a USB wired 360 controller that I am going to take out to my VW and try shortly but bluetooth is how I would like to do it. Thanks.

Id liek to know this as well. I have some devices that I can see but not pair with also.

Also interested in getting any of my bluetooth controllers to work with my unit. They show up, but won't connect.

What is the pin on those controllers, if there is one?

Is there an update on this thread? I am really interested in connecting 8bitdo controllers to my Pumpkin head-unit. Like everyone else i can see the devices but wont connect.
In a reddit post, someone made it with usb but is there any way to connect via bluetooth?

i also own a joying unit with malaysk rom (RK3188 / 1024x600 / 06.2016) since a few days and also i am not able to connect my 8bitido SNES controller.
- installed XposedMTC / Override BT OBD device string with SNES controller BT name (didn't enter full name because of space character
and pairing worked!
- did pair as OBD device
- didn't recognize as input device
so the controller doesn't work yet
would be interesting if the controller would work in original joying / pumpkin ROM?
=====================================================================
EDIT: after reading some time in malaysk rom thread it seems that BT functionality is trimmed from the manufacturerers... and so no support for numerous BT devices.

Bluetooth OBD Adapter not connecting after malaysk rom

Hi everyone, I have a joying rk3188 1024x600 head unit and recently flashed the most recent malaysk rom. Before the flash, obd dongle would pair fine. Now I cannot get out to connect. I can connect my phone to the headunit, can connect my phone to the obd dongle, but cannot connect the obd dongle to my headunit whatsoever. It shows up in "available devices" and can be clicked then click "yes" to connect, but it doesn't connect.
I've tried to play around with xposedmtc but no luck.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

did you click enable xposedmtc in xposed?

TRY disable xposed-bt or manager in xposed
and roboot will be done

Yes, all are activated in xposed. And tw0119, I will give that a try.

Malaysk‘s rom Dec.2015 on my JY-HU clould pair fine ,but Feb.2016&Jan.2016 roms could not.
So i try disalbe all Xposed modules ONLY enable Xposed mtc ,OBD dongle works after roboot

Tw0119, perfect, works now. Did you go back and reactivate the modules again or no?
Thank you so much btw!

NO,if you reactive the XposedManager module it would be down.
So i think somethings wrong with the Framework,maybe Malaysk could TEST for it

No XposedBT whit OBD.
Prob is that there are number of overlapping Xposed modules, conflicting with each other and even underlying ROM features.
Until Malaysk and module devs coordinate their activities you have to experiment and make compromises. In order to get something you have to drop something.

I had the same problem: my bluetooth OBD2 / OBD adapter were being detected, but I could not pair them. My OBD2 adapter has a pin number and I was never asked for the pin to pair. Also, the device was being scanned and shown with the phone icon instead of the OBD icon. Had this problem with March and January 2016 versions of Malaysk ROM (which is awesome, btw!). How I solved the problem:
1. Opened the stock bluetooth app, removed the device which already appeared paired
2. Set the default pairing PIN to the PIN of my device
3. Disabled XposedMTC and XposedBT in the Xposed module manager
4. Rebooted
5. Scanned for the device, checked that it appears as OBD (icon) and paired again. No pin was requested, but it paired correctly and it works.
Hope this helps! Cheers,
C.

i have 2 adapters and neither will work for me. one will not pair no matter what combination of things i choose in xposed but works great with my phone. the other adapter works so good i don't even have to put in the pass code when using my deck, but it will not communicate with my 2001 fords ecu.

OBD connection Joying
Can somebody tell me where to get to "Xposed module manager" in Joying system please? For OBD bluetooth issue

i had same problem but solved it.
Don't use the bluetooth menu in system settings but use the bluetooth app instead (which came with the rom (android 6)).
Using the bluetooth app search here and here pairing worked without any problems for me, after pairing it worked as normal again.

That worked for me. But found also additional tips are needed to check:
1. If adapter name is not OBDII per default then in BT app settings (last tab) set exact name. This option is available in modded BT apps in Malaysk ROM (4.4.4), dunno for other ROMs. So there is no need for any exposed modules, just change adapter name in app.
2. Adapter with correct name can pair even if pin code is incorrect! Looks like paired but will not work in apps. So check that pin code in BT app settings is correct for your adapter.
3. In Torque, if you had any other adapter used before, clean all app data (in Android app info). Also noticed that even after app data cleaning, old Mac address is shown instead of new one paired in BT app. Looks like MCU somehow wrongly saves and provides old, even removed from BT app, adapter Mac address. But new paired adapter is working. So there is some mess with MCU and BT and Torque... Not sure where is the issue, but noticed that latest Torque ver listed something about 'improved listing of BT devices'. So it may be known issue on Torque side....

I had the same problem (obd bluetooth not working) using Pumpkin Android 7.1.2 with malaysk ROM 4.1 and found the following solution:
Go to app settings, select "show system apps" an delete data+cache of all (4 in my case) apps regarding bluetooth.
Then connect your devices again. Enjoy

Bluetooth Controller

Hi guys, I hope you can help.
I recently brought and installed A Pumpkin 10.1 unit (rk3188).
Ive managed to get Malaysk's custom rom installed but my issue is that i dont have steering wheel controls so i brought a satechi media button. (Because im a new user i cant post a link)
The thing is i can get the unit to find it but it will not connect to it. Could it be a bluetooth name limitation on the unit? is there a work around?
Thank you for your time guys.
Kris

I'm having the same issue... I think its temporal issue, I will update to 23 april rom...

Cool. Let me know how you get on.

The only BT devices that are supported are OBDII readers and Phones (for phonebook sharing, calls and media streaming). No other devices will work (media controllers, gamepads, etc).

That's a shame. I need to look at another work around. Thank you for the info

Is there any way around to connect to non OBDII devices via rooting and using xposed framework

I'm looking for a way for this to happen as well. Just purchased an iSimple remote for my Joying head unit. Lo-and-behold it doesn't work because... reasons? How hard is it for the programmers to allow a remote device use media controls while any other android unit will allow this?

Bluetooth connect

Hi, I have a Joying android 10 head unit 7", I have an Autopmall heads up unit that uses the map app WiiYii, this app is auto connect to heads up unit when opened, you have to have data, location and Bluetooth turned on, the problem I can not find how to turn on the bluetooth on the Joying, no switch, I have installed many BT apps and have found the one that finds the head up unit HYHUD so I know it can be found. I `m hoping that if I can turn on BT It may connect. It will connect to a Samsung A71 android phone and an android 6 tablet, but they can`t keep up with GPS or location, if it can be connect to the Joying it has the the GPS antenna. Thanks for any help I can try. Bill

Same problem with Android 10 Gotech , please help
