Does anyone know a way to tell the phone to connect to the car bluetooth for calls rather than the watch when I get in the car? Then also switch back to watch bluetooth calls when I leave the car?
thanks
Does the car connect to the phone at all when you get in, or does being connected to the watch block this?
I'm wondering if you place the call/answer the call with the car's menu system/steering wheel controls what happens, or if you are unable to even get this far.
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem.
Carkit does connect (you can see in settings) but it says "(no phone calls)".
Watch is alsoo connected and says "(phone calls)
When i use voice control or the buttons on the dash to start a call it says no phone connected.
So my phone says that it is connected to carkit (no phone calls notification however), but if i look in settings from carkit it does'nt show phone connected...
The phone doesn't even connect to the car - I have to go into bluetooth settings on the phone and manually swap between the two when I get in and out of the car. I only connect to the cars on phone, not media audio.
I use the phone in 2 different cars, so ideally want to be able to automatically prioritise which bluetooth it connects to. I know there are apps like tasker which can do this but they are so complicated (or I'm too blonde!).
other thread
Found another thread already covering the subject...
Hope this helps...

My car has bluetooth built in and it works fine. It also has a USB socket, which shares the AUX button on my cars headset with the BT audio.
However, everytime I go to the car ( I leave by BT on all day as I am constantly in and out of the car) it automatically starts playing media files from the phone. When this happens, it disables the USB input , unless I pull out the USB and put it back in again.
I turn off the 'media' tick box in bluetooth settings for the pairing, hit return, yet the next time I get in the car, it turns itself back on.
Is there a way of permanently disabling the 'media' setting in the bluetooth settings for this pairing?
I have this phone also paired to another car, but that one doesn't have the media option in its settings.
Also does anyone know how to get the phone to connect to the headset during a phone call while the ringtone is ringing? This phone sends the sound over to the head unit as soon as the call is answered, meaning that I never know if it is ringing or not, or connected. It would be nice to hear the ringtone ringing over the speakers and before it is picked up.
A friend of mine has the same problem with his bluetooth carkit. But not only when he start his car. I'm curious for a solution.
It's your radio .. incorrect support and usage of bluetooth specifications
I dont think it is the radio, because I can turn off 'media'in the bluetooth settings/bluetooth devices/options, and leave 'phone'on.
The next time I get back into the car, media turns itself back on automatically and starts playing tracks from the phone through the radio.
The bluetooth pairing on the phone that exists for the other car I have does not have a media setting.
Is there an advanced bluetooth settings app that can permantly leave the 'media' button unchecked?

My g3 is completely stock like my last few phones have been.
I am looking for better control of my Bluetooth connections that automatically connect to various objects. All 3 of my connections have call audio capabilities, and I only want to use 1 for call audio. However when I get in the car its a 50/50 gamble of what will connect to my phone as the priority device resulting in me having to go change the settings every time I drive.
Here's the situation:
My car has 3 BT connections I currently use when I drive.
Priority 1: Car OEM Bluetooth connection. No audio streaming available so all I want is automatic connection for hands free through my car speakers and steering wheel controls for phone calls.
Priority 2: Garmin GPS traffic. My GPS uses an app on my phone to get traffic reports. It only needs the BT connection to communicate with my app. The problem is My GPS has hands free call audio also, but i dont use that feature and never want to. However it seems I frequently have to go uncheck the box "use call audio" in phone BT settings because this sometimes connects to my phone before the car BT does.
Priority 3: sometimes when I am not using my iPod for music I use an adapter for streaming music since my car does not offer that feature on its BT connection. Of course this adapter also offers call audio and media streaming. When this is plugged up and listening to music I have to disconnect my cars BT (listed as priority 1) as it will cause static in my music streaming. When I use this device I shut off the connection to my car and just leave the GPS (priority 2) and this connected and make phone calls by hand without hands free since this adapter does not allow me to use my steering wheel controls etc that the car has and its just easier to do it by hand. I don't always use this adapter, only when im board of my iPod and sirius and want to stream Spotify.
I've tried "Bluetooth auto connect" application but it hasn't done anything to help control which device connects and which doesn't or which of them has priority. A lot of the times I'll get in the car and disconnect all of them and start over but usually one of the devices automatically tries to reconnect causing them to interfere with each other while I'm driving. Unfortunately none of these devices have the ability to shut off features in the devices themselves which means I have to use my phone to control them.
Is there any way of controlling my bluetooth connections in more detail or am I just stuck with them battling each other every time I get in the car? Usually I don't have a problem once they are all set but if my phone restarts or I I need to start all over. If the phone would just remember which connection uses "media audio" or "call audio" this all could be avoided but the phone never ever remembers and always resets them all as checked. My Bluetooth is usually always turned on (probably what kills my battery) and I have no other connections besides what I use in the car. I had the same problems on my Xperia Z1 and don't think this is an LG G3 specific thing. I think its an android thing in general.
Thanks for any ideas.

My watch is on DP5 and works perfectly but for some reason, when it is connected to my phone, it prevents my car's handsfree system from connecting automatically with my phone. I can easily connect to the car manually by going into my phone's bluetooth menu and selecting it, but it just won't do it automatically. If my watch is not connected to the phone, the phone connects automatically to the car without issue. I didn't have this problem with my Moto 360, so I know it's not an issue caused by my phone or the presence of a watch. Has anyone had and fixed this issue?
EDIT: Fixed it. If you have the "play phone audio through watch" option enabled, the phone recognizes the watch as a bluetooth audio output. Since the phone cannot be connected to two audio outputs at once, the car system will not automatically connect. This option needs to be off if you want the car to connect to it automatically.

wow, will try it today. thanks for the tip.
Hey guys, i got a question.
I would like to purchase the watch but i am doubting something. If my watch would be connected to my phone and i step into my car and normally my phone auto-connect over bluetooth to my car audio system. Would it still do that? And i'm i able to pick music on my watch in the car, example Spotify library, to play on my car audio.
The Bluetooth should work just fine. I don't have it with a car Bluetooth but when using the Bluetooth headphones it doesn't have any issue at all because both link directly to the phone.
The music controls are another thing, you can use it as a remote to play, pause, skip or go back through the tracks but it doesn't let you select whatever you want directly from the phone(selecting playlists or songs from them).
If you download playlists on the watch because you have premium you can go through them and select the songs just fine, but then you wouldn't be using the phone to play the music, so you should check if the car would let you have two devices connected at the same time if you want the phone linked for something else.
Tldr: Remote or standalone Bluetooth music yes, total control of the phone app no.
Ive been having issues with that as well. Do you have android auto in your car? If so, you need to go into AA options on your phone and go to quick connect and only have your phone connect.
I can confirm that you can still use BT on your car and have it connect at the same time with your watch. If you are having issue connecting just go to your car's BT settings and force the connection and it should connect to your phone for media. I use my watch when I'm driving to change a song without having to move my hand from the steering wheel.
Let me add to this that, at least for me, it is *not* possible to have the watch connected as a handsfree device to the phone together with the car kit. So the watch is connected, but I can't answer calls with it if I want the phone to connect to the carkit. It (the phone) simply rejects that request if the watch is connected.
This is why I don't want a smart watch. Only because when I sit in my car it will not connect to car and disable on watch.
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.
