Car Stereo – Bluetooth

Most likely it’s the phone, but to be sure, you’d need to try the phone with another Bluetooth device or try another phone with the stereo. That’ll give you the answer.

Try this. Copied from a Google search. Below.

Here are the steps to clear your Bluetooth cache:

1Go to Settings
2Select “Application Manager”
3Display system apps (you may need to either swipe left/right or choose from the menu in the top right corner)
4Select Bluetooth from the now larger list of 5Applications
6Select Storage
7Tap Clear Cache
8Go back
9Finally restart the phone

I just missed the step out on my original post it seems. I’ve highlighted the part that should show you the system files. Think of it like ticking “show all files” in Windows.

Not its not. It’s not in storage, if you hit the main settings button (either the cog at the top, or the settings app in our app draw)

You will be shown a list of other options. The storage one is usually further down to the app manager section. It’s not always called app manager, mine is called apps and notifications.

Once you hit the apps button, you will then need to find the ‘Shaw all system apps” then you should be able to see the BT app

Fron there follow the previous post

Yours will look different. It all depends on what version you have, and what the oem have done.

Ive also just realised you have a huawei device. There menu system deviates from most other android implantations. The wife has the P9, so if you haven’t sorted it by the time I’m home, I’ll take a look at her phone, and document the steps.

You have ‘Apps’ listed above in that main Menu picture you posted. Hit that.

You won’t see the Bluetooth app

The press the menu button, bottom left (three horizontal lines). You get two options, choose the top one “system processes” or similar.

Then the Bluetooth app will then  be visible

Press the Bluetooth  app, and you will get this

Press force stop, then press storage, and you’ll get this

clear data, then clear cache, then restart your phone.

On restart,  come back to this same menu, and you may need to restart the app, as you ‘disable it’ via force stop’ in its place it may still say force stop, or I can may say ‘enable’ (or solar).

If you have to re enable it, do another re start, (it won’t hurt.)

On the restart, your good to go and re pair to your car.

Before you repair, tell your car stereo to forget the phone. So that you are starting a compleat fresh.

For your car to forget your phone it will be under settings, Bluetooth, devices, manage devices etc..

Eventually you’ll come across a list of devices (or may be just yours if your the first), there is likely to be an option to ‘delete’ ‘forget device’ or something along them lines. Do that.

Sorry if this is a bit all over the place, long day and a few refreshments. Also i had to photograph the steps, then screen shot the photos. So they look bad. Bit should surface.

If this don’t work. Your likely out of luck. Well I’m out of ideas.
