[Q] Playing Google Navigation Voice directions through in car Bluetooth connection?

I'm looking at getting a new vehicle. The vehicle has bluetooth connectivity designed for handsfree phone use. I was only briefly able to test during the test drive but there was no problem connecting and using the phone function with the cars Bluetooth but when I switched to the Google Navigation app the voice directions would not play via Bluetooth. I've looked for some kind of internal setting to force this to happen but I don't see anything.
Is it possible to play the Google Navigation voice directions and or Voice Search functionality through a vehicles built in Bluetooth connection?

I thought it automatically did so.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!

it does automatically do so...at least in my car...I have a 2011 ford mustang

I believe your car needs to support A2DP for those to play through

Works in my car fine. 2008 Aston Martin Vantage. (Not to brag, that's just what car I have.)

Aston Martin's don't care where you drive to, just that you drive.

Make sure it has a2d2 support it moght to get repaired and make sure it pairs phone audio and media, it will be shown under bluetooth options inside the settings app

Bit there is a bug in 2.2 where voice directions will not resume any music you had playing after it reads.directions.

I have to concure with Brian... The newer bluetooth devices have a2d2 support and you might want to check the specifications of the Bluetooth that installed in the car. Alot of the newer bluetooth models are able to be updated. I just purchased the BlueAnt Q1 and it had two firmware updates, one which contained the a2d2 update. Before the update, I couldnt play music or GPS thru my head set - afterwards how ever, I was able to play music and GPS also feeds thru my headset... hope this helps you figure it out..

Yep, it must be capable of A2DP bluetooth streaming. My wife's BT car kit will only do phone calls, no bluetooth streaming so voice directions won't work. I on the other hand have an after market Kenwood headunit that does both and it works great. It's the car/stereo, not the phone.

Also when switch roms i have noticed on repairing with my unit sometimes it just pairs phone audio and a dissconnect and repair gets them.both agian Just a thought

Use Tunewiki instead of the stock music player.

Mine has navigation, yes, however it's the most complicated POS you've ever seen.

I checked the manufacturers website for the 2011 Honda Odyssey (it's no Aston Martin but I have 3 kids under age 2 and need a vehicle that can hold 3 car seats in one row ) and it says A2DP is supported. Honestly I didn't try to make any changes or test anything in the Bluetooth settings. I only tested it with the phone and then started Navigation and it directed output to the built in speaker. I will try it again when I get a chance. Thanks for the help!!!

[Q]A2DP on CM 10.

I'm curious as to how to set up bluetooth audio. My car supports it (Jetta TDI 2010). When I connect with bluetooth I can't seem to figure out how to use it. This is my first android phone and I've never used bluetooth audio before.
Just looking to be pointed in the right direction. Google hasn't been too helpful.

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is?
You can't figure out how to use bluetooth in what way, exactly?

When my phone is connected to my car via bluetooth, I cannot get the phone to stream audio, nor can I get the car to recognize that the phone has A2DP capabilities (I know my car works, I have the bluetooh audio connection and my friend used it with his droid)
I'm just not sure if I'm missing some small important piece to get the audio streaming.

So the phone call bluetooth works but not the music bluetooth?
Go into the bluetooth settings for your phone. And make sure both checkmarks are checked, one for phone and one for audio. You'll do this by editing the bluetooth connection to your car.

Anyway to force bluetooth metadata to send to my car?

I have a brand new 2015 Hyundai Sonata, and my girlfriends Galaxy S5 can send metadata and track info to my stereo no problem (using google play music). My new Galaxy Note 4. refuses to send the track info... I've tried using the AutoAudio app which will allegedly fix the problem, but that didn't help. I also tried using Poweramp and the stock music player as well, hoping that something would work, and nothing does. However, my dash unit and steering wheel can CONTROL the phone, just not display what it's doing.. So it appear AVRCP is working but not bluetooth metadata.
It's such a minor thing, but it's driving me nuts. Any ideas?

Bump -- I also noticed the sound quality over bluetooth (for the same files) is way worse with my Note 4.

I get the same problem on my 2012 Mazda 3. My understanding is it's a problem with Bluetooth 4.1 compatibility. It makes no sense as it is supposed to be backwards compatible, but it's pretty regularly reported that many car stereos aren't fully compatible with the latest Bluetooth spec and this is the result. Bothers me too. If anyone is able to get it working, please share. I'm certainly interested in a solution.

So Hyundai themselves actually called me and said that my headunit is running some really old Bluetooth stack... So old that the new version of bluetooth isn't that far backwards compatible.. It will play audio, but at a lower quality and without metadata.. They said the headunit software manufacturer (MNSoft) might have a firmware update, but they generally only do those for nav systems.

I googled MNSoft and what showed up for me was the mapping software that Hyundai uses. Would that really have to do with Bluetooth and metadata? I have a 2013 elantra with nav. I get no metadata on my screen either. Sound quality is great though since mine does come with the upgraded sound system.

2011 mazdaspeed with nav here. Same results. Haven't called for update

Last I heard from Mazda, they can't (or won't) update the software. They consider it done. I find that aggravating as cars should last longer than phones and the radio isn't easy to change out

Earphone splitter and bluetooth

Hi,
I have read a lot that the lg g4 has the feature of being able to send audio both on a Bluetooth device and the wired earphones simultaneously.
Now I own one and whenever I wire the earphones my Bluetooth goes disconnected and viceversa...
Just one audio steam at a time...
Any ideas why?
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Free mobile app

When I add wired while bluetooth connected I get an option to play through both. I don't think I did anything to make this happen.
G4

Not here, I get no message at all and automatically the sound of the bluetooth device is cut off and viceversa...

Could that be the variant? I have the LG-H815AR variant...

Hi,
Just to say that I had an update yesterday and now I can do the splitter thing. Great feature!!!

Hi Leoneldolara - Is it possible for you share "LG G4 'earphone splitter'" APK ?. I intend to use "Zungle Smart Sunglasses" along with "Basslet" simultaneously.
So i need this APK ..
Thanks

I'm sorry I didn't notice this message before! I don't know if that is an app, but if it is, I just can not find it!

I need help understanding how bluetooth works on these MTCB HU's.

I've searched and looked, and I can't seem to find a complete answer to exactly how the bluetooth works on these things.
As far as I can tell; there is the native bluetooth manager that's built into Android, and then a Bluetooth app. Seems like the app is used to make calls and stream from the phone?
I've also read that there cannot be an OBD2 sensor and a phone connected at the same time? I remember reading somewhere that's because Android doesn't actually handle the bluetooth itself, so if I were to get a bluetooth dongle, would that fix this?

FYI, I have a joying headunit and I have been using the Torque app w/ a Bluetooth ODBII adapter and received calls while both are connected. But yes the Bluetooth profiles that come with these units are very limited and basic.

What is your process in getting them to work together?

I remembered that I had another BT OBD2 adapter. I was using this one and couldn't get it to work, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011NSX27A/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_F0mqxbPZDQSQ5
I then pulled out my old one, (not this exact one, but looks identical) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EQ57BE8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_b8mqxbA6SEVRV and now they both are working together.

Is it possible to get DashCommand working on these units? I like it better than torque.

Sure no problem, and what I did is just buy a self powered USB hub and stick an additional Bluetooth dongle in there (android compatible, costs about $4) and pair with both.
Never had a problem with any of them

Hello,
The BT module in these devices are not an internal device, rather an external BT chip. There is no direct data line between device and BT chip. Basically they send commands and share metadata over serial port. Thats all about so dont consider it is a native bluetooth device.
