I'm not sure if this is a G6 problem, and Android 7 problem or a Google Maps problem, but my G6 will only play navigation sounds via my car speakers if it is connected via Bluetooth.
If I'm using my phone to play music in the car, and navigate somewhere, I want the turn notifications to be played out of the phone speakers so the music doesn't pause or dip or get interrupted. This was never an issue on any other Android phone I've owned - I could go into the settings in Google Maps and disable "Play voice over Bluetooth" so that the navigations directions did exactly that.
That option isn't available on my G6 though. I can disable the voice during phone calls, but nothing else.
How can I get this back to how it was on my old phone?
Thanks

I have my N4 Bluetooth set up to my car. When I start my car, and Bluetooth kicks in, Google Music automatically starts playing songs. I don't listen to music via Bluetooth, but my device is sending the signal, evidently. I've tried to find a way to keep Google Music from automatically doing this when Bluetooth connects, but cannot find anything. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a way to make mine do what yours is doing. I'm on a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2 and just want my music to start automatically when I get into my car instead of having to unlock phone, fire up google music, and hit shuffle all every time I get in. There are a couple apps that will launch Play Music but the music doesn't start playing. I need to try hitting NEXT on my car stereo and see if it makes it start playing.
I used to get ambushed with music automatically starting a couple of phones ago so I wound up using Tasker to simulate media button presses.
That sorted it for me and may be worth a try for both of you.
I think it's dependent upon your car. I've got Ford with Sync and buried somewhere in the menus is a bluetooth "autoplay" option - try disabling that (or enabling... depending on what you're looking for, of course)
My N4 does this in my Mazda 3. I absolutely HATE it. Any luck on a solution?
Like previous poster said, disable autoplay feature in car's bluetooth settings
I don't have that option on my car.

This is not true. I have this happen with my Nexus 4 on stock 4.3 in THREE separate cars.
Is there seriously no solution to this? Does anybody even have any idea what causes this problem?
For me, its Fusion music player. But if I uninstall that, then it defaults to Google Music.
So during the summer I was bored and ended up trying an iPhone 5 for 2 weeks. One of the things I did like about it was that it would give me the Google Maps navigation voice over the bluetooth in my car. I can't however get that to replicate over to my G2.
Calls on my G2 use my car's bluetooth just fine, but I can't get turn by turn directions over it.
Any ideas?
This better not be normal, because I really want the g2 and I use the **** outta GPS on BT.

Works fine on mine using my Jawbone ERA with Waze. As long as your headset supports "Media audio" (as it appears in the G2 settings) or A2DP, it should work. It may also be dependent on the how the particular nav apps handles audio - I find Waze superior to GMaps anyway.
Works for me over BT, with the random half voice slip on both because of BT sleep. Not often enough be annoying though.
Works fine, if listen music from stock music player or google music or rdio... Alone not working...
Hello folks, maybe someone knows the trick...
I recently installed xXx No Limit ROM on my S5. It works pretty fine and I also use the Bluetooth connection for my car audio system (Columbus in a Skoda car).
Hands-free talking works and also media is played well. All options for BT connection are enabled but when using Bluetooth output for Google Maps voice there is nothing to hear. The phone keeps silent and so does the car audio system. Is there a way to get this to work? As mentioned, media is played well and all available options are turned on (in phone and car setup). I really would love to hear Mrs. Google via car loudspeakers

I would check to make sure that you have more than just your media audio volume turned up. IE system, notifications, etc. I think that the volume from google maps isn't considered "media" when controlling the volume levels.

Yes, I did that, too. Still muted
Can you hear it when your Bluetooth is turned off?
yes, but i need to deactivate bt Output in maps first.
Sounds like a google maps problem. Can you clear cache and data then uninstall it? After that I would say restart your phone, reinstall google maps, restart again, then see if it works.

Just checking up to see if your problem has been fixed.
Hi,
Coming from a Windows phone it was possible to listen to my music on my car stereo and have Near maps giving me directions.
It seems with Google Andriod I have to switch my car stereo to Bluetooth device to get voice turn by turn directions and no music.
Is this the case ? Or can I have both music and voice directions at the same time ?
cheers
On my us997 G6 I can have both. When the map gives voice guidance it pauses the music and then resumes when maps is quite.
Thanks thats good to know.
Is your setup using the car stereo for music or your phone ?
In my case the music was on in the car stereo.
cheers

It plays both music and navigation through the car speakers.

As far as I know and experienced it only works with both coming from your phone to the car speakers.
Maybe depends on the car setup, but if I play music on the car with USB no audio from the phone via Bluetooth.
Aaah okay, thats the problem, and thats how Windows phone works, Car stereo music and voice navigation from the phone.
Also can Android voice text messages and can you reply to them ? Another thing I miss from Windows phone.
Hi!
I'm using Sony MEX-N5100BT bluetooth car radio. I can both listen to music and use navigation with voice directions without any problems. I'm using Spotify, when the music is playing and voice direction is played, music's volume is turned down a bit and then returns to normal value.
I have to use "Bluetooth audio" mode in the radio, then all of the Media sounds are streamed only on the radio (music, games, youtube, navigation), and all notifications and ringtones are played both on the phone from the loudspeaker and streamed to the radio at the same time.
What music player are you using?
Some of them have separate setting where when there is sound interruption from different app the music pauses for second instead of being played quieter a little bit. I had such option back in the days in PowerAMP.
About text messages and replying - I'm not 100% sure about the reading option, probably radio-dependent... AFAIR Sony's companion app for the radio has it but it works in English, not in Polish.
But I have some sort of Google Now integration in my radio, I can press the button on volume jog and Google Now launches, waiting for me to say the command, f.e. "SMS to ***"
My Car stereo is an Apline CDE-W235EBT thats what I play music on.
cheers

Maybe Windows phone uses the voice protocol for the voice directions on navigation, that's how it could interrupt your music you are playing on your car.
Android uses the media protocol for voice directions/music and the voice protocol for phone calls I think.
Is it such a big deal for you to play the music from your phone, so you would have the feature you want?
Thanks, krysden
It's more convenient to use the car stereo than the phone for music. I turn the key, engine starts, music starts and I'm on my way.
I noticed that my phone no longer responds to voice commands through BT. I have a Sena 20S system in my motorcycle helmet. I used to be able to hit the button on my helmet, and I would hear the Google Now/Assistant tone, and I could say "Call XYZ" or "Play Music" or whatever...
Now, it does nothing. I checked all the settings and "enable voice commands from BT" and that stuff is enabled.
When I am on a call, the mic works and everything works as it should. I just can't issue any voice commands to the phone unless I use the phone's mic.
This may be a difference issue, but I also see that Google Assistant no longer allows me to search or play my music. I can have 500 songs downloaded to the phone, but I can only select them or even play any of them manually. Voice commands no longer work for downloaded music. Apparently I have to pay $10 a month for Google's Play Music service for voice command functions on music that I already own? Seems that Google is trying to out apple, Apple... LOL
Anyone know what's up with the first issue? No voice commands at all through BT?
