Bluetooth and android 6 PROBLEMS

[85genius]

:headbang:

Ok So my phone used to pair beautifully with the car then it upgraded to android 6 and now it doesnt....

The phone still pairs and I can recieve calls as normal

BUT:

I have no access to my phone book (worked fine in android 5)
I have no access to my speed dials (worked fine in android 5)
I have no access to my recently dialled numbers (worked fine in android 5)

All of which means

1) I have to keep my phone in sight so that when a call comes in I can see who is calling.
2) I have to actually use the phone screen to make an outgoing call cant do it of the steering wheel any more.

It bugged me enough I assumed it was a problem with the phone software and upgraded my handset, but still the same issue (still on android 6 but new phone is due upgrade to android 7 imminently.


Is there a workaround to get the functionality back as the new phone laws make using the screen to dial a big no no, or is it just a case of the phone technology is now too advanced to interface properly with the dated car system.... (even though it worked perfectly last year)

No one else have this issue?

I'm on 6.0.1 and though I'm not paired right now, it was working until I reset my phone a few months back. Just haven't got round to repairing it.

Hmmmmm... You had phone book and last dialed too? Maybe just something wierd going on with mine then

Both mine are Xperias dunno if they implement Bluetooth differently

Yes, phone book was there. Not sure about last dialed as I barely used the phone while in the car.
