When answering the phone while in the car dock the audio is routed to the internal speaker rather than through the audio output to the stereo. Anyone know how to fix this?

When you're on a call uncheck "speaker" and it should go thru the car speakers.
It does. But then the mic is muted so no one can hear you

I have 2 dumb questions as I spent the better part of the day yesterday looking. 1. Does it charge the photon when It's in car dock?
2. You mean I can play the music thru the speakers? How? it dock wired to stero?
Yes and yes. It charges while in the dock and the dock has a 3.5mm output cable.
See here.
Or if you have a bluetooth capable radio it will stream thru THAT>>>>

Well Bluetooth works while in the car dock but if you want to hear your music through the car speakers you have to turn Bluetooth off. Then when you get a call, you can't answer it without taking the phone out of the cradle because by the time you turn the Bluetooth back on and wait for it to connect, you've lost the call. Either I'm stupid and missing something or this is a really dumb design.

Exactly, I was almost better off using my old 3.5 to RF adapter because at least then I could answer the phone without having to pull it all apart.
Depends on the car stereo i guess.
I have my phone connected using the 3.5mm cable to my stereo and bluetooth is always connected. when i get a call (no matter what audio source i'm using ) the bluetooth with take over and let me answer through my stereo.

go to your blue tooth settings and select your car head unit there you can edit how the phone acts when its connected then go to your incall settings and adjust those according to how you want it to work,,, I play music thru the bluetooth and it stops playing when a call comes thru the call is routed to the speakers in the car via bluetooth and I use the mic on the phone to talk,, after the call is ended it returns to playing music like normal,, if you have any further problems pm me!

my bluetooth and car dock work flawlessly together. i didn't even have to change settings. the stereo i installed does have a mic so that may be different than what some people are experiencing. it actually syncs my phonebook and tells me who is calling while stopping my music and playing a nice little ringtone through my speakers. highly suggest to anyone who is on the road alot and prefers not getting a ticket.
it's a SONY MEX-BT2900.
car dock + bluetooth streaming music = no wires, no hassles.
I have a Pioneer AVH-P5200BT DVD Player. Best Buy is installing it at 10:00AM tomorrow. I will let you know how it works at 11:00AM!
Sometimes my wife's stereo will not pick up BT calls (calls go to the phone, just no audio). And sometimes we realize the car is on (being warmed up or whatever) and get a call, but no audio since its being directed though the car stereo. If this sounds like what you are experiencing all you have to do is hit the bluetooth button from the incall screen. This will route it back to the phone.
There should be no reason to turn on and off BT.
OK Boys and Girls. My Pioneer AVH-P5200BT DVD Player is killing me. (This is a LONG learning process................) TeleNav for Navagation works perfect. I can play music from my playlist and still get directions. Phone works perfect and I have not gotten any complaints. Dialing the phone is easy.
I only have 2 complaints. One (and this is minor) I cannot watch or play DVD unless parking brake light is on. (I dont watch movies anyway) I cannot watch Movies on Photon if it's in the dock. (again, dont want to watch anyway. I was just playing)
Second, I cannot get my music to play thru Bluetooth no matter how hard I try. I turn it off/on, I pair it again and again. Funny thing though. I have BT Headphones, When I pair or look at them, I see Headphones. When I look at my stereo, (or my ear piece), I see a ear piece?
I really, really, really love the setup though. Everything is within easy reach and the way it tilts to me is entertainment delight! (I will take picture later!)
David
OK all, Pictures of my DVD Player Open and Closed with Car Dock below. You don't see my Photon for obvious reasons (I needed it to take the picture) but you get the idea. Also, If you notice its slanted to the left. That is for my easy use, but I can slant it the other way if passenger wants to change playlist and/or navigate directions somewhere. David
EDIT: My pictures failed to attach? Hum........
I don't think that you all understand the original question. The problem is NOT with bluetooth. The problem is that the internal microphone is muted when you shut off the speakerphone function. Therefore when the audio is routed through the aux jack while in a call people can't hear you

OK, It worked (I guess firewall at work blocked me?) Anyway, per the last member to post, I do not have that issue. System works as designed. David
Well, they apparently fixed this issue with the last update. So, it now works as it should.

is there anyway for me to answer calls on the gs3 via blue tooth while listening to music through auxiliary without it playing from my radio? I have the phone playing through my auxiliary while I drive and am also connected fr Blue tooth but when I answer my calls by tapping talk on bkueooth it plays through auxiliary and its a pain driving and unplugging my phone

Nope. There are other threads about this. I wrote to Samsung on FB and my impression was that if enough people complain about it, they might fix it. Really dangerous in the car, as you have to unplug your cable to take a call on bluetooth.
I almost took my phone back because of this. The current work around is to use the Infuse 4G dock, which uses the USB port because the line out from that apparently plays nicely with Bluetooth. Or use a newer Bluetooth module that supports media streaming....

This is a ****ty decision on Samsung's part, major flaw in the design of the phone. The E4GT was the same way.
You MUST use a car mount, or bluetooth audio. I wonder if you can use an app to trick car mode, that may fix it.
I do that with the app Car Mode (though I just noticed that hd widgets allows you to make a car home widget short cut). It doesn't change anything. You can't just use speaker phone either. We've discovered the echo cancellation doesn't work because you have the headphone jack in use so it assumes you don't need echo cancellation. This would be funny if it wasn't so awful.

Yeah this is pretty lame, but afaik any aosp rom should fix this. I'm still waiting for cm9/10 to get a little more stable before I flash, but these should work properly.
90% of the time I connect my phone to my car's Aux jack and listen to music or a podcast there is a constant high pitched tone that plays when there is audio being passed through (someone talking or music playing). If nothing is being passed through the noise isn't present. My wife's S3 has the same issue in my car but my old GNex never had an issue.
I've tried multiple Aux cables to no avail. If I connect my bluetooth headset to the aux and transmit sound it works fine, but I can't keep that charged for long car trips (aux dongle uses the usb port).
Is anyone experiencing a similar issue? Any suggestions?

That is typically caused by a bad ground. Something like this can help alleviate the issue.

Depending on the phone, the whine can be exacerbated by having it plugged in and charging.
Are there any new ways to play music off your Note 3 through your car speakers??
Or is the Bluetooth FM Transmitter still the way to go? Is there one anyone can recommend? I have the old fashioned Monster wired cable, but it only has 3 channel options, and we often can't find a clear channel when we travel.
I assume you don't have a line in port on your head unit.
If all you have is am/fm radio and a cd slot then an FM transmitter is the only thing you can do.
I hope to not hijack this but when I plug mine into my aux jack, it plays fine. But holy hell, when I plug the power into it, there is a good awful noise until the audio actually starts playing. Just having everything plugged in without paying anything is too loud to stand. I'd there any thing that can be fine to stop this?

Get an A2DP radio player and you are set to go.

If you're driving a Toyota or lexus, you can get a plug and play adapter like I have on mine. It's a Bluetooth receiver, look for the bt-35toy on Amazon. And by plug and play I mean you have to plug it into the back of the in dash unit. I did it this way because I wanted to keep the look of the original in dash unit and get Bluetooth support.

I like that that one can search for the best available FM channel, but in general I find the FM transmitters to be a last resort.
I am in an area with lots of radio stations (Atlanta) and for the last 28 years I've had commutes of 40-55 miles, and family scattered widely. When I used these devices I never went over 20 minutes without having to stop listening and find a new frequency due to having so many radio stations in the area. I also have been in traffic and had horrible interference from other electronic devices, possibly radios in nearby vehicles.
If your factory radio doesn't have a Bluetooth receiver the next best choice IMHO is a cable or Bluetooth receiver plugged into an auxiliary input jack. Many factory radios don't have those of course, so you should find a forum for owners of your car and get suggestions about affordable ways to add one. You may find instructions for a DIY method to add one that doesn't cost $125 or more. If you have the money those expensive ones will sound good, but after buying a $700 phone, $20 to $45 case, $8 to $35 tempered glass screen protector, $10 Qi wireless receiver, $20 to $70 Qi charger, plus who knows what for a car mount... Well, most of us have some limit to our disposable income.

Seems like a massive ground-loop issue! Not too sure on solutions though.
A couple years ago, I installed a Pioneer head unit w/bluetooth in one of my cars. Nice being able to play music without wires. Also great for handling my calls as well

This. I don't listen to music very often, but for podcast commutes the functionality of this product is amazing. Still just an FM but done really well. 2003 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Edition, just so there is no comment about put in aftermarket. The wires.....oh the wires...and computers....that aren't really computers....and the wiring manual that is totally not a wiring manual...wtf...but the ride...oh the RIDE.... whatwhatwhat
yeah um so very happy with the linked product.

Back in the day I used to have this problem often. It was always feedback from the alternator.
There were line adapters you could use that would soften the noise, but no solution ever really worked very well.
Since my current head unit doesn't have bluetooth built in, but does have a line-in, I got this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E5CBHCE/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And it works fairly well. I can now charge my phone, play music through the adapter and not have the horrible high pitched noise.
Only problem is you can't power the adapter and stream through it at the same time. Kinda silly, but oh well.
Oh, and I forgot to mention but that adapted can pair using NFC. I just powered it on, tapped my phone to it and it paired right up.
2014 Camry hybrid + Note 3
I've got a 2014 Camry hybrid and it uses Toyota's eTune software.
Music, pandora, navigation, google voice, keyboard taps, everything worked natively.
I can even use the multimedia controls on the steering wheel to pause/skip music.
Only minor issue is that sometimes it will not go to the next track if the screen is off.
My workaround for this was to dual screen pandora with maps to disable automatic sleep.
The roadster 2 works great for me

I have used the PARROT MKi9200 for about a year and it works great. It has a USB connection on it, so I ran a cable for charging.
I connect through a Fiio e-18 straight to a 1600w and 900w amp hooked to 4 5 1/4 pioneer components and 4 6x8 3 way pioneers and one 12 respectivly. It sounds nice and my only limitation is the bit rate on my music. If i can I usually buy dvd audio and rip it at 192/24 and that usually satisfies my ears

let you use your aptx phone to play music in your car. Sounds great. I use this with my s4
Check GROM audio stuff, the GROM-USB2P can take a bluetooth, AUX, or straight USB connection. With the USB connection, you can use a USB drive(thumb or 2.5") or plug your android phone in and stream any audio through the USB port.
Not all phones/tablets are compatible, but is software limitation only. I have a Nexus 7 connected to my factory car radio via USB.
I'm very happy with my Harman Kardon BTA 10 plugged in to the car's AUX input. http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-External-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B009CA7G92
It sounds good. I read one review that said it gets interference in cars, but I have had possibly two barely-noticable audio glitches in 6 months of using it.
I like the fact that it has no battery and relies on USB power to operate. When the car is switched off, the BTA 10 powers off, disconnecting from the phone which automatically stops playback. Prevously when I used an audio cable from the headphone jack to the car aux, playback continued when the car was switched off (soundlessly if I left it plugged in) - meaning occasionally I'd have podcasts deleted before I heard them if I didn't manually stop playback, thanks to "autodelete on complete" by BeyondPod.
So I tried listening to Spotify and Google music in my wife's car, and the volume was extremely low using an aux cable. Had volume maxed on both my phone and the car stereo, and it was still barely audible. I read similar issues with the LG G3, but no real solutions. Anyone experience the same thing?
Headphones worked fine, and I suppose it's worth mentioning different icons showed for headphones and the aux cable.

Same here with me and i listen to alot of music off my phone in the car thru the aux cord. Im thinking the volume mods may help
Hopefully mods work. I tried a few cables to make sure that wasn't the issue. Seems to be a weird LG thing differentiating between aux and headphones.
