Bluetooth Compatibility Thread

HTC EVO 3D - Works, but have to start "Music" app on phone to play tunes stored on the phone.

Streaming audio seems to work as it should.

Can't believe there isn't a software update for the non-working phones yet. Who's more to blame... Chevy or the phone providers?

LG Revolution works if I make the call from the phone, most of the time it will kick in and stay connected throughout the call.

I've had the chance to use my HTC Rezound with a Cadillac CUE setup, a mylink system in a Malibu, and now - in my new Sonic. It worked great the first two times after I paired it, then the music part of the bluetooth connection stopped working. The phone connectivity was okay, but it refused to connect to pandora (which has enough problems on its own).

Restarting my phone, mylink, updating pandora - nothing seemed to work. I found that going through my phone and deleting all the extra pairings that I don't use fixed my problem.

For all I know, it was a bit of dumb luck mixed with coincidence, but it's been working great since I did that.

For those of you with stock Android devices, 4.3 now supports AVRCP 1.3 so track information shows up on the MyLink screen. Unfortunately no album art.

Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-mobile firmware) works fine for calling and music through Google Play and Pandora. Track info is also displayed fine for both.

With the latest MyLink update S-Voice activates through holding the steering wheel button, as well.

HTC One X Rooted to Android 4.3

Did anyone get AVRCP 1.3 working in the non-MyLink dash with Android 4.3?

All my 2012's stock dash displays is the phone name, just like it did before upgrading to 4.3. Hitting the "info" button shows "No Information" like it did before.

Samsung Galaxy S3 works for both phone and music....But, unlike my Droid Razr, it doesn't give me the option of reading my texts out loud anymore.... might be a setting on my phone tho

LG enV VX9900 works great making/taking phone calls, address book does not download but incredibly it does stream music from the micro SD card over Bluetooth. Yeah, I know, it's an old phone. It's for a secondary phone number, iPhone is used for my primary number.

I just did a phone changeover, so I've got info for both.

LG Viper 4G LTE --
Phone: Works
Address book: Works
Music over BT: Works
Apps: Worked at first, but then slowly started "disappearing" (graying out) and saying the app wasn't installed, even though it was. Happened to Pandora, Stitcher, and TuneIn, one by one. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not resolve.

I had some intermittent connectivity problem with the phone, which I attributed (it turns out correctly) to the phone being old and beat up.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini --
Phone: Works
Address book: Works
Music over BT: Works ONLY if I manually start a track in the music player first.
Apps: Stitcher and TuneIn, though installed on the phone, are grayed out and show as "not installed" by the HU. Pandora shows as installed, executes, but won't play anything.

I believe the issue with the Bluetooth music in this model has to do with the difference in players. On the Viper, the music player was a widget that was always loaded and ready to go. On the GS4 Mini, you have to actually execute an app. It's not a big deal to me; I have an Attache drive plugged into the USB port that has all my music and more, so I have no need to stream the phone's BT music. I'm a little irked that the apps aren't working, though.

Oh, and for those who had seen my posts in the MyLink thread about random disconnects or not connecting on startup, that issue seems to have gone away completely since switching to the GS4.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I know that the calling and phone features work via Bluetooth. I have an Ipod connected via the USB port so I don't do any music over Bluetooth.

Bluetooth problem since Kitkat update.

Ever since my Sprint Galaxy S4 updated to Kitkat the Bluetooth has stopped working correctly. Here is a video that shows what happens.

 

[Kyman]

So does anyone know if the iPhone 5s works with it? I can get it to connect and receive calls, but trying to make calls and use Siri never seems to work right.

 

[gijoefontaine]

I called Chevy cause i cant get the hands free to recognize the contact name and she said it only works with iphone 4s and lower. Such garbage

 

[mdoffroad]

I'm trying to get my iPhone 5 to work too.. so far, nothing.. wth??

 

[medguy29]

Nokia Lumia 630 (windows 8.1) connects handsfree can download and connect to phone contacts and stream music from phone from whatever source (mix radio, xbox music, etc) Voice commands for the phones NAV or other commands work over the infotainment system but all via bluetoogh only. Doesn't work for Pandora or BringGo but these apps bring questionable value. USB will charge phone but won't connect. I haven't tried using Cortana (Siri equivalent) yet but because the MyLink system is being treated just like any ol Bluetooth device by the phone I don't see any issues. Windows Phone (well with OS 8.1 and possibly the new 10 not the old 8 or 7) is actually a good phone if someone developed an app or two for it.

Chevy said "sorry, we cant make it work, its apples fault"....
