xperia z bluetooth connection to Pioneer car stereo issues.

[Jhonny_Rockstar]

Hello!

Im having trouble connecting my xperia to my pioneer deh-4400BT car stereo.

the pioneer shows up in the list of units on my phone, when i press it to connect with it, i get a nessage telling me to varify that a six digit code shows up in the display on my player. Up until this point its just like it was with my iphone who worked smoothly with the same player.

The problem is that the digits dont show up, and my two options are now either to connect or cancel, so i try to connect, my player says "full pair", and then it goes away. And my phone tells me its unable to connect.

is it something i can do here? Or do i have to get a new phone?

Does the phone show up in the Pioneer's BT connection menu? Maybe you can connect using the Pioneer's menu rather than the phones.

Seems like Pioneer have released two apps on Google Play, not sure if they are required but might be worth a shot.

Hi,

The Pioneeer apps are not required for BT connexion.

And I have an Xperia Z and cannot connect it to my Pioneer  car stereo (AVH-2400BT) too.

My previous phone (a samsung Galaxy Note) succeeded to connect to the Pioneer without any problem.

I hope the new update version (Android 4.2.2) will correct this problem or I will change my phone.

Regards,

JF

I have a problem with the BT car with firmware .244

what happens is that now, the phone pairs with the radio but do not make me download the phonebook or call log, tested it on my work car (with renault radio source) and my car radio pioneer DEH p80 Prs, but the strange thing is that my wife's car have a radio alpine, and that downloads the list and call log.

is there any way to solve this?

thank you

Hi, I just puchased a Pioneer MVH-X360BT and discovered that audio streaming was not working properly with my Xperia Z running Android 4.3.

When i stream music the sound is stopping for half a second almost every 2 minutes. 

When I used my wife smartphone, it works perfectly.

Do you know any Bluetooth patch i could apply ? 

Is it possible to downgrade from Android 4.3 to Android 4.2.2 ? (this is the supported release from Pioneer )

Any iformation is welcome, thanks !

I'm looking and trying to solve this issue... seem to be a matter of compatibility (AVRCP-TG not supported)

If you find something, thanks

Well I still have the problem. Sony support said that this bug got fixed in new firmware based on android 4.4
This firmware is not available in my country. So i picked it from swiss site and got my Z upgrade.
NO BETTER ! ISSUE IS STILL THE SAME !

Just to make sure pioneer is not playing with me, i will try to find the old 4.2.3 firmware to see if it makes any difference.
Pioner says they do support that firmware.

This may take a while as i am a little busy, anyway I'll keep you posted

I have the same issue with the same Pioneer device and a Z3
I used crappy LG phones with that car stereo without any problem. I never expected that a good phone as the Z3 would have had such an annoying problem

I use 4.4 on my Xperia Z1 but I have this problem... Thank you Sony.
