Bluetooth issue after update Nougat Android 7.0

Hi,

after update Android 7.0 my XZ can't connect properly to my car via bluetooth. The telephone connects, but the media connection try to connect contiously but do not reach to connect. I can't use my XZ in the car, because battery runs down very fast due to this bug. Is there a fix? Have anyone the same issue?

I recently updated to the 7.0 nougat and my bluetooth doesnt connect to media in my BMW Idrive anymore. Only the call audio conmects. I tried everything repairing each one, tried connecting in different orders, tried clearing network data in my phones settings and nothing. Very frustrating use an aux cord all the time now for music.

I'm having also troubles since last week when I got the android 7 update.

Both my bluetooth headsets the SBH54 Sony isnt responding on the buttons, also not on the musicplayer.

And the free headset MDR XB950BT isnt working either anymore.

Also got the advice from sony to use the repair with the Companion Software, and making a backup.

The backup with Sony Companion didnt work. However the one on my SD card luckely is.

And the second option is sending the phone back. But now i'm reading this already, i think that sony should make a new update.

This is the trouble with .0 releases. Pixel phones are now on 7.1.1 due to bug fix updates!
Bluetooth problems with all phones on 7.0 are well documented on the web.

Same problem here after update. Two Bluetooth won't connect properly. Volume control of headphone now works independently from phone's volume. Start/pause buttons do not work anymore. However, I recognized that all worked well when I had the headphones connected during booting. Still, after disconnecting and reconnecting all was wrong again. On nexus devices a complete cache wipe should work. Anyone tried this?

My phone connects and music and calls come through, but the car audio system says "device not connected" and won't show track names or any other song information.

You may need to open the car related app and re-allow permissions to access contact, folders, etc. I had to do this with the Audi MMI app, and then the car would show contacts, etc,
