I bought a Belkin CarAudio Connect AUX with Bluetooth, and it works ok when it's connected to my N9. The connecting part is troublesome. You are supposed to press the button once and it should connect, but this doesn't work half the time. If I initiate the connection from the N9, it works every time. For some reason it won't connect automatically.

I have ProfileMatic set up to enable Bluetooth (among other things) once it sees the NFC tag on my car holder. This isn't much use if the phone won't connect automatically, too.

So, is there any way to start the connection process to a known device with a script from the N9?

Anyone?

I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my phone because it doesn't like to automatically connect to a BH-111 headset, either...

I have en Audio-System in a Mazda and here you can take automatic connection. With this option my N9 connects automatic. Obvios in the N9 Bluetooth configuration you have this activate also.

Now that you mention it, I think I got it to automatically connect to my mom's Ford. Too bad my car doesn't have built in BT...

Is there any way to emulate pressing this button?

Yes I also have an option to connect automatically on my Pioneer head unit. Works almost instantly when I get into my car and power up the stereo. Hope this helps.

Sadly, no. The Belkin has no option to connect automatically and the button (on the Belkin) method isn't reliable. This is why I would like the N9 to initiate the connection.

hciconfig command might be useful. Not sure how to pair a device but I guess it can't be too hard.

        lestates                Display the supported LE states
f.e. to turn bluetooth on, you just type
Code:
hciconfig hci0 up

EDIT: Seems like connection to the device can be established with
Code:
hcitool cc --role=m 01:02:03:04:05:06 (mac addr)

Thanks, I didn't know such a tool existed.

However, I can't get it to connect with it.

Code:
hcitool dc <address for belkin>
disconnects the Belkin but the cc command just does nothing.

I'll have to experiment with other devices once I get a chance.
