Bluetooth car stereo/Sat Nav issue.

I use my Hero in the car for sat nav, using Copilot. I also connect it via bluetooth to the stereo to give me hands-free calling.
The problem I have is that when I do, the sat nav voice doesn't come out of the speaker of the phone, but is routed to the stereo. I can hear it when I select bluetooth as the source on the stereo, but this means that I can't listen to the radio/CD/ipod and hear the sat nav directions.
I used to have exactly the same issue using TomTom on Windows Mobile, however there was an option there when it connected to the stereo to only use it as a headset, not for wireless music. I can't seem to find this option on the Hero.
There is also the known issue that the Hero doesn't support transfer of contacts over bluetooth - that's annoying but I can live with it, however the problem above is a real pain. Any ideas?

Think I found it - once you have paired a device, click and hold it under Bluetooth settings, then you have the option media - unclick this and all should be well! Still need to test it though.

Another method,
On my bluetooth car stereo I can "discnct Audio" seperately from "discnct Handsfree" and "discnct Phone"
Just FYI.

Bluetooth Pairing / Control

Hi all, Is it possible to pair a leo with 2 devices at once, say one as a headset and use the other to control the phone (access phonebook information, initiate calls etc). I have a JVC AVX 77 head unit in my car with bluetooth, and i have problems with actually initialising calls, however I am building an in car PC with bluetooth and im interested in using the PC to initiate the calls, and the head unit as purely a headset? Anyone know if this is doable?

Anyone know?

i dont think its doable... not at the same time.

Pandora thru G2 bluetooth

I have my G2 paired to my car for cell calls but can't get Pandora to play thru it. Anyone have success?

You didn't tell us specifics. What car do you drive? Is the stereo stock or aftermarket? What is the Make and Model of the stereo? You also have to make sure the stereo supports the Bluetooth Profile A2DP. Also have you tried this on a Bluetooth Headset? I have this phone but I don't have a Bluetooth headset so I'm not sure if it supports the Bluetooth Stereo Audio Profile. Provide us more info so someone can chime in and answer.

Sorry...its a 2005 BMW 645ci. Its the stock radio and has an intergrated bluetooth that allows the G2 to sync for calls. Shows address book and all on the screen. Works quite well.
I am not sure if it supports A2DP profile and have not used it on a bluetooth headset.
Anyone who if the G2 is a A2DP phone? Ill also check on the bmw forum to see if my car is too.

[Q] ar Bluetooth and S Voice

So, I received my new S4, and paired it with my car Bluetooth. I found the setting in locations to tell the phone when I am connected to this Bluetooth, I am in the car. Great! When it connects to the Bluetooth, it initialises S voice, so it can be controlled with voice. That is when the problem begins....To use the voice feature, the phone needs to hear my voice, but because it is connected to the car Bluetooth, the phone mic is off, waiting for input from the car mic. But you cannot access the car mic unless a call is being made! Any ideas anyone??? Please?:crying:

S4 and Audi MMI 2G bluetooth

Hello.
I have bought my new Galaxy S4 and I have some problems using it in my car.
My car is Audi A4 equipped with MMI 2G, vocal commands and bluetooth hands free.
If I connect my phone with my car, all is ok (calling and receiving calls, phonebook transfer and I can still use my car's vocal commands.
I am not able to use S-Voice Drive.
If I start car mode on the phone, s-drive automatically fire up when bluetooth connected but it still use my phone mic and speaker.
How can I solve? Someone has the same car/system?
My system does not support A2DP....
Thank you.
Chris

Are you sure your expectations are right? I have S4 and MMI 3G and S-Voice doesn't transfer to the car speakers. It didn't occur to me that it might/should, all I expected was hands-free function for phone calls and the ability to dial from the car's MMI interface system.
The Bluetooth profile in the pairing settings on the phone is "call audio" only. There is no "media audio" so I'm guessing the only function supported is to handle the phone audio.
Have you seen something suggesting that audio output other than calls should transfer via bluetooth to the car speakers?

No, nothing, but I would like to have it to the car speakers and mic.
I tried a different bluetooth mono router software but no luck.
I hope someone has solved this with some kind of thirdy party software...

I'm not a techie, but I am guessing that the functionality is limited by the bluetooth profiles supported by the paired devices. If Audi have loaded only the call audio in the MMI software then that is all the car can do.
It looks like you can get after-market A2DP hardware installations (this is a MMI 3G solution, for example). That might enable audio streaming from your phone via Bluetooth, but whether S-Voice would stream also I'm not sure. If I'm honest, I doubt it is possible.

I am experiencing same issue and weird thing is that if I connect IPhone 4S and run Google Navigation I hear navigation instructions in car's speakers but with Galaxy S4 I can't get it to work for navigation instructions.
