In order to utilize hands free calling in my 2014 Honda Pilot, I have to keep the "Phone audio" profile enabled on my phone. I also need to leave the "Media audio" profile enabled in order to stream music through the car. The issue comes when I am listening to an audio source other than AUX/Bluetooth (satellite radio for example). If the "Media audio" profile is enabled, my notification sounds get kidnapped (for lack of a better term) by the car, but because I'm not listening to the AUX/Bluetooth setting, I won't hear them. The two main impacts are text message notifications and navigation audio.
So here is my question.... is there a solution to this problem that will allow me to prevent notifications and navigation audio from being sent over Bluetooth to the car and force them to come out of the handset? As of now, I have to keep "Media audio" disabled, and enable it any time I want to use the AUX/Bluetooth setting on the car and stream music.
Thanks.

Good day.
In my car I have a bluetooth handsfree kit (Sony Ericsson HCB-400) with microphone and conversation through car stereo. It says in the instruction manual for the HCB-400 it supports both handsfree profile and headset profile.
Does this mean I can use the handsfree system to broadcast music over the car speakers through bluetooth?
In that case, how am I able to change the connection profile for the HCB-400 on my phone? Only option I get is "use for phone audio", wich is checked. Didn't do any difference.
Any ideas?
Not sure if it helps, but just pairded the Hero today with my newly purchased Bluetooth Car stereo...
After pairing etc. On starting Bluetooth on Hero, it automatically connects to stero and plays tunes etc. (provided I swtich to the correct Source on the Stereo). If I then try and make a call from the Hero, the Stereo automatically changes mode and works in Phone Mode. On ending the call it goes back to audeo mode.
So in principle, it can be handled seamlessly, but can't say for your own instance.
Easiest option is to just try it and see what happens...

Thank you for the reply!
I understand that you have a car stereo with integrated BT handsfree? In my case, a handsfree kit is mounted on top of the original stereo in my -03 Nissan Micra. Do you have any more options than I do if you long-press the actual BT connection in settings?
Hi,
Yes the stereo itself has bluetooth support...
On the Hero, if I go to bluetooth settings and Long Tap on the actual device connection itself, then I get to a screen that shows both audio and phone profiles with seperate selectable tick boxes.
Both were already ticked...

I want to use the bluetooth phone connection in my VW Golf, but not the media audio connection. I untick the Media Audio option under Bluetooth settings -> long press VWPHONE, but it always defaults back to being ticked the next time it connects. This is annoying because the phone routes the sat nav directions (CoPilot and Google Nav) over the Bluetooth audio connection, and sometimes auto starts the last media file on the phone.
Is there a way to force the phone not to default back to being ticked? Or turn off Bluetooth Audio for all connections (I never use this feature)?

I have a VW golf too with bluetooth on my phone and I am using it for playing song and answers my phone. But not for navigation...
I'am not sure of what your question is... Can you clarify?

My issue is that the sat nav verbal instructions are routed over the bluetooth media audio connection. As I'm not using that function on the car stereo it means I don't hear them. If I turn off media audio in bluetooth settings the nav instructions are routed to the phone speaker and so I hear them, and calls are routed to the car stereo. Problem is next time I get into the car the bluetooth media audio defaults to on, so I have to turn it off everytime I get in the car. I'd prefer it to remember the setting, or just turn off bluetooth media audio completely as I don't use it.
Sounds like you have the same issue that I have with a 2010 Seat Ibiza FR. I've noticed that the kit effectively pairs twice with my Atrix, first as a headset then as a media capable device. This approach means that the phone bluetooth setting will never be retained.
I've raised the issue with Seat UK who frankly aren't interested, and have yet to find any way of blocking the 2nd connection from the phone side.
I'd be very interested in any resolution / workaround you can find; this drives me nuts too...
I use bluetooth in my car to enable me to take / make phone calls. I also use apps such as Google Maps Navigation whilst in the car. In my current car with the bluetooth connected all phone audio is routed through the car. However, it does not cut out radio (unless it is a phone call) and I have to select a different input source.
If I am listening to music from the phone over bluetooth, I hear the voice guidance as I have the correct source selected in the car. However, normally when I am driving, I listen to the radio and so miss the voice guidance of Maps Navigation as I do not have the phone set as the audio source. Is it possible to prevent Google Maps using the bluetooth connection and routing the audio through the phone speakers instead?
Phone: Nexus One running CM7 nightly 94.

Hi
When I get onto my car, and the BlueTooth in my phone and car stereo sync, PowerAmp plays the next song in it's playlist. However, I would like to have Tune In Radio start instead.
There is an option in PoweeAmp to not have resume play - which is default - on A2DP Bluetooth.
This was the only audio player that i found that offered this option.
Is there some way to easily change the preference from PowerAmp to TyneIn? Maybe in Headset Micro service?
Let me clarify a bit.
I have a Jabra Classic which supports both the Media and PHone profile.
When I disable the Phone profile, my ringtones/notifications play through the bluetooth earphone just fine, however call audio does not go through the bluetooth.
When I enable the Phone profile, my notifications and miscellaneous media will play through the earpiece, however when a call comes in the phone sends the "ringing" signal to the earpiece which plays its generic ringtone.
Is there a way to force android to play the ring over the Media (a2dp) and enable the phone profile when answering?
Thanks to everyone for the help.
