Nexus 5x Bluetooth Connectivity Issues - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

2015 BRZ Limited, just got the Nexus 5x, it sees the "CAR MULTIMEDIA" but the headunit won't connect.

It's asking me to ADD it and input a password, I can't find anywhere in the Nexus menus to put in a Bluetooth password. Never had this issue with previous phones.

Any ideas?

Did you have the head unit search for the phone or have the phone search for the head unit. I know it sounds dumb, but on my FRS it mattered which way I did it (which I do not remember). I have my Nexus 6p working with no issues.

I don't know the difference. Get in car with phone. Turn on car.

The phone sees the "CAR MULTIMEDIA" Bluetooth of the stereo. The head unit won't connect, when I select "ADD NEW" it gives the name of the of the car's BT connection, then a passcode. I can't find anywhere in the phone to enter a passcode.
