For some reason the sound for the Navigation is not playing through the speakers on the Car Dock. It's using the phone's speakers. I went to the dock options and selected to play all the sound through the Car Dock. Music will play fine through the Car Dock's speakers. I recently updated to Froyo. Does anyone know what I can do to get the Navigation sound to use the Car Dock's speakers?

When using the Car Dock, the volume and quality of the sound coming off the 3.5mm is significantly dropped. Is this something a rooted ROM can get around?
I have a google car dock for my nexus one and I hook the audio through the car stereo with a 3.5mm audio cable. When it is plugged into the dock the sound is very low and the quality is terrible. If I just pull it out of the dock everything is back to normal -- this happens with all apps.
What do I have to do in order to prevent the phone from doing this while docked?
you have the exact same setup as i do and ive seen this as well, i think there is something that makes the audio play at a different volume specifically for when it is docked for some reason. im on cm6.1.1 and it seems a little better because i believe they tweaked something with it, i saw a checkin on cmsrc on twitter that modified some line with dock volume.
what ive found is if i set the media volume to about 5/8 or 7/8 then dock it the volume will make its "dock adjustment" and its up to where my car volume is from there, usually a little less distortion if the phones volume is a little lower than max. from there if i forget to set the media volume i will use the preamp slider in the poweramp music players equalizer to adjust.
i just wish the volume wouldnt change at all and the volume button on the side of the dock would change the media volume :\
side note: have you noticed that the voice search when docked doesnt pick up your voice very well? almost like the noise canceling mic is cancelling you out or something and other times it can pick up your voice great?
Actually the sound volume was solved by some user that re-compiled libaudio with the code that lowers the sound by 10db commented out. The problem I have is that the sound quality is so poor that it seems to be mono without bass.
It turns out that the crappy audio quality comes from Bluetooth being on. When I disable Bluetooth in car mode, everything is great. Unfortunately I can't figure how to make it disabled by default so I have to disable it everytime.

I'm looking for a remote to actually control my phone over bluetooth. I ride a motorcycle and can't control the phone with gloves on so I'm looking for something to give me play/pause/skip/volume with hard buttons. If anybody has any ideas I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!
I know my motorola's had buttons dedicated to music control. I think the model # were ht820. they were a2dp stereo bluetooth headphones. those models are pretty old, so you can probably find some newer a2dp headphones that have what you want.
i have had this pair of stereo bluetooth headset for about a year and a half, i absolutely love them they sound great they have easy hard controls and battery will out last most droids, you will charge your phone 2 or more times before having to recharge these, they have buttons for startting voice activated call,hang up,mute, volume up/down, song skip forward/backward, play/pause,base boost, and one more great feature is they have a option that allows you to turn on an open mic so you can more easily hear what going on around you when your music is paused or not on a call. they cost $80 when i got mine now they are about half that.
here is a link, i got mine from cincinatti bell store...

i'm pretty sure the incredible supports headphone controls, so you could buy headphones with controls built into them for media. usually these are small buttons directly attached to the headphone cord.
So I noticed yesterday that while listening to Music in my car via Aux and charging at the same time I have static.
Once I remove charger static stops and music plays fine ?
This is with the original cable and I didn't have this problem with my Note 5.
Anyone else?
Can't test this until later today but does it do the same thing when plugged in to the wall charger and using headphones?
This is somewhat normal. Cheap cables and badly shielded electronic systems can create some interference, especially once they are all connected together - think about it, you're connecting the phone to different systems in your car at the same time. I have had this happen with several vehicles, phones, chargers, etc. over the years.

Thanks for the response.
But I've owned almost every Note and a couple of galaxy phones without this issue regardless of what cable I'm using.
That's why it took me by surprise that I'm seeing it now.
And both the charger and Aux are Samsung so it's not the cheap ones.

Yes, I experienced static on my Sprint variant of the Samsung Note 7 when using headphone jack to Aux in my car stereo. The static's volume was substantial and made listening to music unbearable. I was thoroughly disappointed that this brand new phone sounded like garbage, and thinking it was a hardware defect and considered returning the phone. I decided to troubleshoot this problem, and found an odd solution, odd because it seems to be a software issue. So, while my phone was streaming music and producing static while plugged into the Aux car stereo, I jumped into settings and toggled on the 'UHQ upscaler' found in 'sound quality and effects' at bottom of sound settings menu. (( Settings > Sounds > (Advanced) Sound quality and effects > UHQ upscaler )) Toggling this switch immediately got rid of the static issue... even after turning the toggle back to off.
Static Experience Continued....
So, while listening to static free music via Aux cable to car stereo, a call comes in through phone app, static immediately resumes as phone app takes over sound settings. I answer the call and static continues to come through car speakers obscuring the caller's voice. (no, this is not static from a microphone / speaker feedback loop) So, I unplug aux cord and place phone against ear the old fashion way. When call is about to end, I plug Aux cable back into phone, static resumes until phone call ends (phone app releases control of sound) at which point music resumes playing without static.
Troubleshooting methods tried while figuring out static via Aux cable to car stereo:
- plugging in various Aux Cables ( no effect )
- unplugging charging cable while listening to music ( no effect )
- playing music on Note 7 to home stereo via 3.5mm to RCA cable ( Did not produce static )
- toggling UHQ upscaler (( eliminated static via Aux cable to car stereo after toggling on (or off, after it has first been toggled on), static returned for duration of native phone app call and disappeared after call was over ))
This is weird.
STATIC!!!!! sHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The other day I was playing music on my phone and i put my hand just above the bottom speaker it then started playing the music from the top speaker. So, I was wondering if it is possible to have them work at the same time as stereo speakers like on the m7.
