On the watch, go to settings, then Bluetooth, click on the "play phone audio on watch"

when i go to settings i dont see a bluetooth option listed.
It's right under WiFi, see the picture.
If you connect in the car and have multiple Bluetooth headsets, auto Bluetooth connect from the play store is a godsend to help prioritize connections. I can now turn on headsets and connect to the car and the phone will route accordingly. Before the ZenWatch didn't want to give it up so all call audio would go to the watch

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 see there are a lot of posts about this for the Galaxy S III but not the DNA.
Coming from the Bionic I have been very happy with the DNA in all areas except the Bluetooth! For whatever reason after pairing my car (2012 Impreza) or headset all subsequent Bluetooth connections must be done manually. I tried the Bluetooth auto connect app and its hit or miss. For the time being I am using Widetoid and created a shortcut to Bluetooth settings in the notification bar.
I tried about everything I could find that was attempted for the S3 with no luck.
Has anyone else encountered this or have any ideas on how to fix.
Thanks
No one here?

I just got a Bluetooth audio adapter for my car to play music and it pairs automatically once the Bluetooth receiver gets power, at least it has so far, ive only used it a few times now, but it looks like its automatic for me.
I can report a similar problem. My 2011 Mitsubishi has a built in multimedia/nav system which always paired perfectly with my Thunderbolt for calls and music. The DNA connects automatically for phone calls, but not for music. When I'm in my car, I can go into bluetooth settings see that it is connected and "phone audio" and "media audio" are both checked, but media audio does not work (my car reports 'no connection'). In order to get media audio to work I have to un-check and then re-check "media audio" while it is connected to the car. I assumed this was a bug in my car's system, but maybe not...
Hi.
When I connect to the car bluetooth, music automatically starts, of course even if I did not listen music for days. I am using default Walkman.
How to turn it off?

If I uncheck "connect with multimedia function" in options of Car BT (only telephone function active) problem dissapear. But for me it is no solution.
I prefer possibility playing music but only with manual start, and without switch deep functions.
In Xperia Z it was possible but I forgot how.

No I mean if you check smart connect, it may be auto playing the music because of "event occuring bluetooth connected", don't uncheck multimedia audio in the bluetooth settings otherwise you wont get audio from your phone when playing music or videos etc,
I've got my phone connected to my pc via bluetooth right now and it isn't autoplaying music when I disconnect/reconnect bluetooth (I've been toying around with it) and it seems it'll only autoplay music if I set up the smart connect event.
Please explain where I can find this option?
For now in SmartConnect in Events tab I have four events, all are OFF.
In first tab I have BT headset, charger etc and of course Car BT but inside there are the same options as for ex BT mono headphone.

Hmm, if all the events are turned off then I'm not sure, could it be your car stereo requesting the music to be played immediately on connection?
I checked it out and I did not find any such options, this is rather standard (basic) BT device.
Right I've just been to my car to check if my Z2 plays automatically when it connects to my car's bluetooth and it doesn't, I have to press play on my car stereo or the walkman app for music to play.
I have to ask though, with your original Xperia Z, what version of Android is it running? I ask this because it's only been since Android 4.3 that bluetooth audio and associated protocols have been fully put to use (excluding any 3rd party bluetooth stacks). My One X is on android 4.1 and only responds to previous and forward from the car stereo the same was true with my HTC Desire on Android 2.3. Z2 on 4.4.2 responds to all the controls and also sends song information to the car stereo, the car stereo is a fairly old JVC KD-BT11.
I think it's more likely that your car stereo is trying to play music automatically when it connects and may have tried to do it with the Z (if the Z wasn't on 4.3). This is all just mostly guesswork, otherwise I have no idea why it's happening.
Hmm.. I have update Xperia Z to 4.3 but as I remeber problem was solved on 4.2.2 or earlier.
Thank you for assistance, tomorrow I will inspect car BT options again and I will back here.
Is it possible that Throw function can make a mess?
When I swith ON Bluetooth (even away of car) I see for a while icon of Throw function... and when I connect to car BT I see it again. When I connect mono BT headphone this icon don't show up...
I've check options in car BT - there is option "auto-play BT" but it is OFF all the time...and music starts automatically.
For me Throw function is mostly suspected...
So, I just got a brand new Gear S yesterday. I have it paired to my Jabra bluetooth earpiece and it shows connected to call audio and media audio. However, when someone calls me and I answer the call from my watch all of the sounds still come through the watch itself and do not go to my bluetooth. Am I doing something wrong or is my bluetooth not compatible or whats going on here? Does anyone have any thoughts on this or ideas for me?

Under BT settings, if you select your headset, then the gear icon, is "Call audio" checked?
I don't have my watch yet, so I may be very wrong, but here's what I understand:
There are really two phones here, the watch and your mobile phone. Both will pair with the headset individually, so for example when using the watch without the phone you can use the headset for the call. Your phone will also connect via bluetooth to the watch and to the headset. So if you are using the phone and the watch and the headset all together (i.e. watch is not in standalone using its own sim for a call) then your bluetooth headset should be connected to the phone, not the watch.
There are some bluetooth headsets that can connect to multiple devices simultaneously. I'm not sure if yours is one of them (although I bet the gear circle should do this well).

Yes, call audio and media audio are both checked. Maybe I'll connect the Bluetooth to the phone today and call myself and see what happens. Any other ideas anyone?

After having a few issues with my Gear S I thought I would share some tips in case others have an issue. Please add your own tips to help others.
Set up email on phone (S4) but Gear S does not vibrate on email, but does pop up. Other notifications vibrate ok.
Turns out that if you set the notification on the phone to none (in samsung native email client) the Gear S will not vibrate. Even if phone is silent and you have chosen a melody the Gear S will then vibrate.
If you have a BT headset connected to the Gear S it will only work when the phone is connected remotely not by BT.
If the Gear S is connected by BT and you answer on the Gear S the audio will route through the Gear S and you cannot use the BT headset. If you answer on the phone the audio will route through the phone.
Two Possible work arounds
1. Buy a multipoint headset and connect to phone and Gear S (I havent tested this but should have a new headset arrive today so will update)
2. Permanently forward calls to the Gear S phone number but does mean you have to have the GSM from auto on and off to always on. (So far no noticeable battery drain from this)
Hope this helps out a few others.
Thanks

Thanks you for the notification tip.
Regarding the BT headset case, there is also a scenario where the BT headset is connected only to mobile device and the the device is connected by BT to Gear. Then if you opt to reply or initiate a call from your Gear, you just tap the small icon on the bottom left corner and you keep on using the BT headset although you originated or answered the call from Gear.

How do you do this scenario. Every time I try to answer a call thru the watch the audio goes thru the watch and not the bluetooth headset. LG tone pro 750 is multi point

I use a "single" point BT Sony BT headset (MBH20)
I have paired it only to the mobile device (Samsung Note 3 Neo)
The mobile device is paired to the Gear S through BT 90% of my day
When I either answer or initiate a call using the Gear S (through the Note 3 Neo SIM), I get a small icon, at the lower left screen of Gear S, depicting a headset.
If and when I press this icon, the voice which you correctly state that "...goes thru the watch..." is transfered to the BT Headset. So I do not have either to reach for the mobile device or to go on with the "audio which goes thru the watch".
I have not tried to use a multipoint BT headset. I will do it later and tell you how it behaves.
The only, very annoying, situation that I have not managed to sort out with this watch, is how to terminate a call either initiated or answered through the watch. The initially available phone screen, making available the green (CALL) and red (END CALL) icons, disappears a few seconds after I initiate (or answer) the call through the watch! There is no watch gesture to make it again available. I need to reach for the mobile device to terminate the call. Any tips on that?
