I've looked in the phone but haven't found out if it's possible. I have a Bluetooth head unit in my car (Pioneer AVH-P8400BH) and am wondering if it's possible to have apps (specifically Navigation) have the audio output through the phone instead of the HU. I use an ipod for music and as such as soon as I'm in the car I can't hear the nav prompts unless I have the HU set to bluetooth audio.

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to achieve this behaviour:
Once my HD is connected to my car through bluetooth, the radio swith to bluetooth when a call is incoming. After, the car switch back to the radio. I would like to have this behavious with vocal annoucement in igo8. But i don't know if it's possible.
At this moment, i'm only able to switch my car headset to bluetooth audio all the time.
does anyone know if you can send the google navigation voice over BT to a BT speaker/car kit?
Yep, works for me - it interrupts any music you may be playing from the phone.
And how do you do it? I have a Nokia Bluetooth carkit which works fine for phone calls but I don't know how I can play music or have the navigation voice speaking through the car speakers?
@thewebface
What make of car kit do you have thewebface? I suspect a lot of the bluetooth features depend on the carkit.
thanks

It's an original Nokia CK-7W.
I've got a Motorola T505 bluetooth carkit / FM transmitter and Desire does work fine with it for both navigation and music. Out of the box configuration, no parameter setup needed.
The feature I liked most was that I could set up individual volume levels for each application running in parallel (i.e. max volume for calls, 2/3 for navigation, 1/3 for music) and then control the general volume from the car stereo.
I've got Bluetooth built in to my car, will this do the same thing?
Didn't even know you could do that! I bought Co-Pilot, is it possible with that too?
Would be great if it was as at the moment Im using Front Aux on the head unit which is cutting out all the music!
Hi all, i'm about to /buyfit a CK3100 but does anyone know if the satnav apps like copilot will route the audio instructions through the stereo ? And if so, does it mute the stereo each time it does?
Unfortunately, it doesn't. The parrot just handles audio related to phone calls. It doesn't work for navigation instructions, music and other sounds. (EDIT: Read your other post.. I've only tried navigation with Google maps so far, so I wouldn't know about any other navigation apps)
Whenever I use my Desire in the car, I hook up a cable between the headphones jack and the car stereo. This results in:
- Music from the Desire plays on the car stereo
- Navigation instructions pause music playback (in car mode)
- Traffic information broadcasts on the radio mute music playback (but do not pause it)
- Phone calls mute and pause music playback
The Parrot still has a lot better audio quality than the HTC car dock, so it has some added value. But I haven't found a way to play music or navigation instructions on the car stereo without usig a cable.

I had the same experience, however have found a workaround. I have added a plugin xCarLink iPod CD changer adaptor with an optional bluetooth module.
This allows me to connect my Desire using it for both handsfree and also A2DP bluetooth music playing. This does then pause my music or podcast if I receive a call.
I also have Copilot - this is flakey as to how it uses the bluetooth module - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Hope this helps...
hmm shame.. I'm guessing then that the only way to get sat nav through is to buy an A2DP enabled bluetooth car kit. Shame as i've got a CK3100 just sitting here which i've had for a while but never installed. The problem is if i buy another car kit, plus a charger/holder, its going to cost a small fortune.
Thanks for the info.
Odd question. I bought a vehicle that has Bluetooth but only does phone calls. I attached a Bluetooth aux device to the radio, which allows streaming music. I need to have both to allow the steering wheel bluetooth controls for voice on my phone to work and music streaming. My phone and car work great when both bluetooth devices are connected to my phone.
So now the odd question, is there any way to have the phone pair to both simultaneously? It seems once it finds my car, then it stops looking for other devices and I have to manually connect the 2nd Bluetooth device. Thanks a head of time!

mine does this just fine. i was on a road trip bluetoothing to my fm modulator and when calls came in, it muted the music and made the phone ring thru the stock phone connection hardware. are you having troubles getting this same situation going?
No, they pair just fine. I just have to manually connect the 2nd device through the phone. It won't automatically connect to both once it finds the car.
Hi,
I just bought this watch, and I have a problem with my car Bluetooth connection.
The problem is that when I enter the car, the multimedia audio is set to car speaker, even if in the Bluetooth properties I disabled multimedia audio for this connection because I want that the audio remains on the phone.
Before this watch, I had an Android Wear watch and the car Bluetooth connection worked fine, the audio remained on the phone.
Since I have this watch the audio goes to the car speakers. If I enable and disable again the multimedia audio for the car connection properties then the audio correctly remains on the phone, but I have to do this every time.
Someone knows how I can make the audio remain on the phone?
