Non-car Bluetooth devices displaying in Car View mode

[Jemi]

Hey there,

We've seen reports of some Bluetooth connections to other devices displaying Car View. The right team is aware of this. 

If you're experiencing this, let us know by adding your +Vote the info requested in the Status Update.

All the best!

Hi Peter 

Confirmed we still have the issue.  

Bluetooth headphone with Paring name 'KS Accent 60' is booting car mode on all Android devices running latest  software version (8.5.12.758) 

Thanks for looking into this.

 Is it possible to push car mode to the iPad app? And to create a manual activation of Car Mode, like there is for Offline Mode? I use multiple devices to connect to Spotify Offline in the car (phone connected to BT, iPad connected via USB), So it would be great if you could in large the controls on an iPad, especially since it’s a larger screen to begin with.

Hey everyone, thanks for the info.

Hi Jemi, 

Exact details again as follows:  

• Bluetooth device make, model, and what it's called in the Connect picker or CarKitsound Accent 60 / KS Accent 60
• Car dashboard make and modelN/A
• A description of the issue. E.g. were you pushed to Car View when connecting to earphones? Did you get car view when connecting to your car at all?We are being pushed to car mode when connecting to the headphone

Thanks

The best way would be us to choose device which we use in our car. For example I use bluetooth device with aux just for comfortable usage. And I always use it in car, so i want to choose this device. After selection car mode would be automatically turning on. Simply.

Bump again!
