Question Ford Sync 4 taking over bluetooth on Pixel 6 Pro - Google Pixel 6 Pro

I'm attempting to use Android Auto just for Nav in my 2022 Ford F350 with Sync 4 and it forces the bluetooth to allow calls to go through Sync. I turn calls off and it automatically turns it back on immediately. I want to use my Plantronics headset as it sounds much better to the other party on the call as compared to the speakerphone in the vehicle.
Does anyone know of a way to make this work?
Thanks

[Q] Bluetooth reboots Note 8

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 LTE. I connect to it using a bluetooth headset (listen to tunes while on my commute) and my FitBit One.
The FitBit One doesn't exactly "pair"...I don't know how it works really...I think it's that new Bluetooth LE thing...
My Bluetooth headset does pair and it works great...in fact both devices work fine.
Except when I don't use my headset for several hours. When I get to work, I disconnect my bluetooth headset and put it on the charger. When I go home, if I attempt a bluetooth connection with the headset, the bluetooth icon on the Note will show blue in color and say "connecting" but it will never connect. The headset makes a "connected" noise and I can manipulate the media player using the headset buttons (next/previous song, raise and lower volume, pause music) but the audio will be coming from the Note's speakers.
Now here is where it gets weird...I can stop the bluetooth service just fine. But if I turn it back on again, the Note will reboot. In fact, if I do anything to any of the radios...WiFi, LTE Bluetooth, the note will reboot.
Has anybody experienced something similar with this device..or perhaps another Samsung device?
Thanks

Can't say I've experienced it. Are you rooted/have a custom ROM? If not, have you tried a factory reset?

strange issue with bluetooth connectivty with headsets

hi all,
after 3 years of use, I decided to upgrade my GearS2 to the new Galaxy watch. One of main advantages for me was the possibility of running without carrying a phone : I can use samsung health and music locally stored an the watch, together with my Jaybird run headsets.
the problem is I cannot get the voice messages on my headsets if the music is on : i get the notification beeps, every km the music pauses as programmed, but no voice can be heard.
Using watch speaker, app works fine and voice is played over music. Using car BT, it also works fine. Even on my Gear S2, app and BT headsets work fine, voice is correctly mixed over music.
I have re-paired and hard reset headsets and watch few times without success, and all notification and TTS are active. I even contacted jaybird support but they did not want to help (they blamed the app).
any hint about a possible solution ??? the most annoying thing is I cannot understand the problem...
thanks for your help!!

On your watch, go to Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth -> BT Headset. Click on the settings icon for your headset. Make sure "Use For" for Call Audio and Media Audio is enabled.

HELP: Galaxy Watch Active 2, Doesn't Route Calls to Synced Bluetooth Headset

Hello,
Please help me to solve this, otherwise this Watch thing is useless for my needs.
I have Watch Active 2 LTE [dont use LTE, nor have eSim on my current provider, got it since it was almost same price and had more RAM]
The watch synced with BT to ROG Phone 2.
I have Bluetooth headset that synced to Watch 2, i copied my Aduoibooks to the watch and listen to them from the watch, it works but low volume.
In Watch BT settings the Call Audio and Media Audio is ENABLED
BUT the moment I call to someone from my watch or someone calls me, I get Audio trough Watch speaker and watch microphone used as input.
When I open Bluetooth settings [during the call] the Call Audio and Media Audio automatically got disabled, and it stays disabled until i finish the call and press PLAY on the music player.
Maybe this is NORMAL and smart watches dont route call audio to Bluetooth headsets since audio goes from the phone to the watch and from the watch to the headset?
I tested bunch of different headsets, its all the same behavior
Please help, Thanks
Guy's anyone? Is it even possible?

No Outgoing Audio on calls initiated by Google Assistant

I have a 2021 Honda Accord hybrid and both a Note 20 5G Ultra and a Note 10+
With either phone, calls initated by the Google Assistant or by the steering wheel control have no Outgoing audio once the call is connected. I can hear the called party but they cannot hear me. If I direct dial the call, there is no problem. If during the call I change the sound from the Honda screen from Bluetooth to speakerphone and then back to bluetooth the audio returns. This is when using Android Auto wirelessly or with a cable.
The problem seems to occur on any 2021 or 2022 Honda Accord.
The only time it seems to work and that is just for a little while is if Samsung puts out a system update. Then it may work for a day.
I have tried settting the phone back to factory, wiping the cache, using different cables, resetting the car stereo. with no luck.
The phone is currently on Android 11 and on the most current Android Auto software.
Any help would be appreciated
