Does anyone know of a simple way to add a quick toggle tile to switch between a Bluetooth headset and the phone speakers when listening to audio? I'd like to have some easy quick setting so I can swap from listening on a headset to listening from the speakers on the phone.

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.
The subject says it all. Can I route audio through Bluetooth A2DP and the phone's speaker simultaneously? I want to keep my phone connected to my car's audio system via Bluetooth voice and A2DP. But sometimes I want to switch to XM Radio or other sources. When I do that of course, I lose audio prompts from Google Navigation.
Is this possible?

I'm looking for the same thing. I can get audio through Bluetooth and have notifications go to speaker at the same time, but I can't get other media to go to speaker at the same time.
I would also be satisfied with a widget that lets me toggle the A2DP status of the Bluetooth connection on and off. It would not be the end of the world if I needed to toggle the A2DP off when I switch to another radio source and toggle back on when I go back to Bluetooth as the source in the car.

If you ask me I'd say it's possible.Whenever my phone is connected to my stereo through A2DP, the music is played through loudspeakers only by default. However, when there's an incoming call and my ringtone is being played I can hear it through loudspeakers AND the phone speaker, which creates a pretty cool surround effect. I'd really love to make my music player interact with all the speakers like this all the time. I took my chance installing various apps like SoundAbout to help me figure it out, all to no avail. Any ideas?
Hi all,
When i have a Bluetooth headset connected and a call is received, a tone sounds inside the headset AND my regular ringtone plays on the speaker. When I get an email or SMS the appropriate notification sounds play on BOTH the speaker and my headset.
OTOH, when I plug in a wired headset the speakers cut out and all is heard only through the headset.
Is there a way in the settings that I have have the speaker muted for all sounds whenever the BT is connected -- channeling all rings, notications, etc through the headset -- just like when a wired headset is plugged in?
Thanks!
Is there a way to get all audio to be played through bluetooth when a bluetooth headset is connected?
Right now when I use a bluetooth headset and if I get a text or any sort of notification sound, the sound okays through the phone speakers and through the bluetooth headset.
If I'm not mistaken the bt headset still has to be a2dp.
The headset I use supports and. Audio from music and videos play only through the bluetooth headset but when I get notifications or the phone ringtone plays through both the phone speaker and the Bluetooth headset. Ive tried a few bluetooth headsets and they all do this... Is there a fix?
Hi
I'm usally listen to music linking my Samsung S4 to car stereo by bluetooth or wire. My car stereo has not a great equalizer, so I prefear to set equalizer directly from my audio player (poweramp).
I'd like to know if exist any apps, plugin or media player who allows to set "Time Alignment" parameter. May be some equalizer could name it "Phase".
This parameter make a little delay in left/right speaker for getting the best listening in relations to your position inside cockpit.
How could I get this kind of function?
