I have the OEM Vibrant car dock, and my Vibrant is connected to my cars BT for phone and media. If I put my phone in the dock, and not engage the USB, my audio defaults to BT. If I push the USB in and "Dock" it, it triggers car mode, and all Audio defaults to speaker. I want it stay defaulted to BT. I have found apps that will default it to the 3.5mm audio jack, but nothing for BT. If someone knows of a way to prevent the phone from "docking", but still charge, or an app that will default audio to BT, please let me know.

I’m looking for a program that toggles the sound between the wired headset and the speaker.
The problem is that i have a car holder with 3.5mm plug and I want to have the ability to select between speaker and headphone/3.5mm plug. Now I don’t hear anything if the phone is connected and the car radio are off.
not sure which is which and which is the best, but try AudioRoute
or AutoAudioRoute or Zevele's AutoLoudspeaker
I have the official Fascinate car dock, which works great, generally speaking. However, I have noticed a particularly annoying issue. I was previously on ComRom 2.1, and now am on jt's CM7, with the dock audio fix and the Galaxy S dock audio redirector app. In both cases, even though audio for most things comes through my car's speakers, in-call audio absolutely refuses to transmit via the USB connector. I have to manually press the speakerphone button and use it that way, which is really lame.
Before I had the dock, I hooked the cable directly to the phone's headphone port, and when a call came in, it would route the audio through the car speakers, and activate the speakerphone mic, as it should. I don't understand why the USB dock will not route the in-call audio properly. Is there a technical reason preventing it, or is it just a design deficiency?
Also, there is a Dock Audio setting in the Android OS settings that claims the phone must be plugged into a dock before you can access the settings, but when I actually do plug the phone into the dock, this option becomes grayed out entirely. Are the settings only available a desk dock or something?
Nobody? Am I the only one that uses the car dock or something? I can't believe I'm the only one that's frustrated by this lack of functionality in an official accessory.
When making a phone call using the official Samsung Car Dock, the caller's audio comes from the phone's internal speaker instead of the line out on the dock. To make matters worse, the dock blocks the internal speaker making it very hard to hear the phone call.
Is there a way to have the audio come thru the dock to my stereo? I have the AUX out connected directly to my stereo; and I checked the setting to pass audio thru the dock. Music and Navigation all send the audio to my stereo thru the dock; but phone calls are using the phone's internal speaker.
Previously, when I had the cable plugged in to the headphone out jack, the phone calls would play thru the stereo with no problem.
Any help or ideas? Hopefully, I'm just missing a simple setting somewhere...
First off I have this mount. My Rezound is Stock. I can stream music through a cable but not voice calls. I cannot get the Bluetooth to work while it is in the dock. I can tell it to send it to BT but no sound comes through. I would really like to get Voice to come through my car speakers but I can't find any settings.
You said you've tried headphone jack plugged into car stereo via cable? Works fine for me using the same dock , stock and rommed, both before and after i uninstalled the dock program that was annoying. Has on all 3 of my android phones, usually with no dock. Have music or podcasts going, call comes in, shoots right through stereo. Bluetooth may be funky depending on how its setup with the car, stereo, or other device.
If a cable is not working, i'm baffled. Your stereo would need to be set to the "aux" input of coarse, and the cable plugged into to stereo/phone.
But how about the BT setup, what are you using for that?
That dock should have no impact on your BT connection. When you connect to your BT device, go into Settings, Wireless & Networks, Bluetooth Settings, find your device down at the bottom you're connecting to, hard press on it and select Options..., make sure both phone and media are checked under Profiles.
Yeah, for Bluetooth music streaming in my car I also had to tell my car to connect portable music player. Then I got the music working through my stereo in addition to the phone calls.

Hi,
I have a BlueAnt bluetooth set in my car but it keeps dropping out and sounds crap.
I have a proper Samsung Car mount with a 3.5mm Audio jack that connects to my Audio in on the Car stereo.
Using this, I can play music from the SGS2 and hear things like GPS software instructions on the car speakers.
The question is, how do I get the phone side of things to play via the 3.5mm jack and use the built in phone MIC for the pickup?
Ie same as speaker phone but coming through the car speakers instead of the phone speaker.
Surely this is just a setting / registry change etc?
Neil.
