Has anyone found a good miracast car stereo? Everything I have found is coming from China and it's a brand name I am not familiar with... It would be nice to connect my X to my car stereo for google maps, music, pandora, etc.

One of the things that was frustrating on the old X was that driving mode was sort of useless if the device connected to your car Bluetooth. My understanding is that there are two reasons:
1) The primary reason is a2dp. All audio is routing through Bluetooth and unless you car is set to the Bluetooth/aux input, you don't get any of that audio. The phone is sending to the car but the phone doesn't know the car isn't playing it.
2) moto sort of assumed while on Bluetooth in your car, the car is handling everything and you don't need their Assistance.
Thoughts on these? Any way for the features to still work on the new x while on Bluetooth?
Two years later... did you find a solution?
I too am finding it annoying that Moto X won't cut in with an announcement over the car stereo. I've just come from Windows Phone 8.1 and it had no problem doing that. Have you found a solution that works?
I find that it works quite fine. In my phone BT settings, I set my car bluetooth to media only. I set my BT earpiece to calls only. I get all moto drive, Google voice notifications over the car stereo. My phone calls go to the earpiece for privacy. Moto drive still announces calls over the car BT stereo.
Reading the original post, my car stereo is always on BT. I stream music / content through my phone when I'm in the car. I don't use the radio or CD player.
Hi
when I use google maps on my smatphone, in google maps setting I can ask to send the voice via bluetooth so I get google voice on my car stereo a honda civic 2015 europeen type.
I wonder how I can use the exact same thing with tasker?
for now I use the task "AutoVoice Crtl BT" it works but it open receiving call on my car, with google maps it is differente, the voice just get pass though the car stereo without opening any windows and if I'm listening radio or music il automatiquely shut it down.
thanks
Hi
I just bought a Galaxy Note 8 and I noticed that music info (tags) does not appear in my car stereo when they are connected through BT. I have a Brazilian Toyota Corolla 2016. Music plays fine.
I tried Samsung Music, Spotify and Google Play Music.
Everything was working fine with my old Oneplus 3.
Can someone help me?

Which music app you using? OnePlus probably actually uses a decent stock music app. The rest use use a broke down music app. Next time I BT in car will try to use stock for you and report back. Worst case scenario rock poweramp.
I used Spotify Google Play Music and Samsung Music
I don't believe it is a player problem because I was using Spotify in my One plus and it was streaming music tag perfectly.
Now, using the same Spotify, I do not have tags on my car stereo.
I have a Pioneer NEX4200 headunit in my car that I use in conjunction with an iPod for my driving music. With my old phone (Moto X Pure), even though I wasn't streaming music from it, I could still toggle the MEDIA toggle in the bluetooth settings so that when I used Google Assistant from my head unit, the audio would play back through the car speakers. On the Note 8, it seems that I can only get the MEDIA toggle to stay on if the head unit is set to play music from Bluetooth and not my iPod, which means that when I am using the latter and try to do a voice search, the audio comes through on the phone and not the car speakers.
Am I missing something in my settings on the phone of which I am unaware? Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks!
So at home I have a crazy awesome google home set up with multiple speaker systems, lighting, smart outlets, google minis, and google home speakers all tied into the awesome google home app. For (3) different speaker systems, I used the old chromecast audio to tie the receivers into my google home system and it worked great! Now that is discontinued for whatever reason, and I can't seem to find an equal to it (the chromecast audio that is). I want to tie in another speaker system with an old receiver I have. Does anyone know an alternative to the chromecast audio that will do the same thing that the chromecast audio did? Also, I read about tieing speakers with bluetooth capabilities into the google home system, but couldn't figure out how. Anyone done this yet?
Thanks!
I have a few Chromecast audio devices, and got a Google Home Mini and realise it is very similar. It offers an audio out port that I could plug in to my speaker, and I can stream to it as a Cast Audio device.
