I have a similar problem. Don't expect to find any fix until Motorola upgrades sometime in the future. My phone used to work fine with my head unit until the upgrade. Now it pairs but can't hear a ring tone and sometimes there is a very weak voice coming from the speakers as if someone is trying to answer. They can't hear me at all.
Try using Volume Ace might work..

I am having an issue with my N1 and my 2010 Acura TL Bluetooth.
Sometimes it connect just fine, others it connects and then drops and still other times will connect the media portion, but not the phone portion.
Does this sound like a software issue(Bluetooth Stack) or defective hardware on the N1?
My car's Bluetooth is fine as it pairs and stays connected to my older phone and other phones that I have tested.

I'm pretty sure it's software-based. IIRC, Bluetooth is partially broken on Android and hasn't been completely fixed yet.

It's a software issue with Android which will [hopefully] be fixed in soon-to-come Android versions
I have same problem with Nokia's car kit and N1. When I start my car, phone connects to HF and says "connected to phone and media" (or something like that) in BT-menu.
Spotify plays music via A2DP thru car kit without any problems, but sometimes phone connection is partially dropped (incoming voice) without any notification. When call arrives, Spotify stops playing music as it should be and I can answer to phone call, but I can't hear callers voice. However, caller can hear my voice, so only callers voice is muted.
This happens randomly. Sometimes phone audio works and sometimes not.
Is this problem reported to Google?

Can I upgrade bluetooth 2.0 to bluetooth 3.0 one my nexus one ???
Is the MotoX smart enough to listen over its built in mic when in a moving car and paired with a Bluetooth for calls and media streaming? In my Hyundai with other phones voice controls do not work because the phone is listening over bluetooth but the car mic and head unit is not always listening. I must use steering wheel controls to initialize the listening feature of the head unit. This has always bothered me and I hope MotoX does it right.

In my very limited test using a 2013 Malibu it would not listen. The one way it would was when I activated voice search from "car home ultra" . Then it worked great.
Sent through mental telepathy... Or my moto x.
Thanks for your reply. Anyone else have any luck with this?
Bump. Anyone else?
The phone listens in my car, 2011 VW GTI. The touchless controls work great.
I don't have a Moto X, it's a Galaxy S2, but perhaps indicative of Android - on KitKat, I can dictate fine using Swiftkey (and Vlingo/Robin) but my auto bluetooth won't work with Google Now. All initiated from the phone. YMMV.

I have a fix in my link below.
Old thread of mine and happy to report that when paired to car Bluetooth it handles calls and media streaming properly while voice controls still work via the phone. I use it all the time to navigate while driving.

Driving mode/Voice Control conflicts with Sync in my F-150. Sometimes calls go through Sync sometimes they don't. Sometimes texts show up through Sync most times they don't. I find it inconsistent and annoying.
I second that it works great through BT in my car. I have an aftermarket head unit. I was especially glad when Google Play Music would recognize playing specific playlists and "I Feel Lucky" playlists. I also like that drunken passengers can't trick it since it won't recognize their voices.
I am trying to get my Moto X to read text messages though my car's bluetooth stereo. When driving, I'll get the pop up saying "Say Listen to hear message", it accepts the command, says "Reading..." but then I don't hear anything. Is there any option I need to enable to hear it though the car stereo?
I assume you're using MotoAssist. I don't use that but ReadItToMe Pro works well for me. It sends my text messages to any Bluetooth device or wired headset and senses when a device is connected. I thinks there is a free version too.

Touch less control might do it. Or you could try the dragon app.

It should work just like you said. I used mine yesterday to receive and send text messages. Have you tried a hard re-boot of the phone? Edit: Can you hear it say "Say listen to hear messages"?
If your stereo is connected as A2DP it should work with anything that comes over the "Media" channel. I use a small bluetooth dongle in my car that converts the wireless signal into a 3.5mm aux in. It saves me from having to plug in when I enter the car, and the bluetooth connection initiates several Tasker profiles.
Any sound that my phone makes that would come through the speaker as media such as Pandora, games, etc. goes through the bluetooth connection.

I tried ReadItToMe.
If my car stereo in on BT channel everything ok.
But if I'm listening to FM radio, I can't configure it to switch to BT, read the message and then go back to FM, as when a call arrives.
It looks working, but I can't hear anything.

Is it your car or the phone which is doing the popup? I have a UConnect system in my Ram, and when I get a text I get a prompt from the truck to listen to the message if I'm moving, or listen or read if I am not. The UConnect, not the phone will read the message. This is nice, because it doesn't matter whether I'm streaming from the phone, listening to SirusXM or whatever... If you're relying on the phone you have to either be streaming via BT or in actual phone mode with the system I have.
If it's like this, try unpairing the phone on both sides (vehicle and phone) Then re-pair, and make sure you wait for the prompts that your vehicle is requesting access to whatever, and accept them.
It might help to mention the make and model of the audio system you have, so people who also have it can chime in. Each of these systems is slightly different, and many have different capabilities.

If you have not already, perhaps try all the options under the How section in the ReadItToMe settings. I use the music stream option but I never listen to FM in my car. It's either audio from the phone or an iPod.

I already tried all options.
but... today, for the first time, it worked, using bt mono option.
maybe it's because of the new rom I flashed.
only one problem, voice starts after few seconds, so part of the message is not read.
isn't there a way to set a delay before start reading?

I have this issue too and I am using an aftermarket Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS head unit. However if I'm listening to Bluetooth audio, the audio will go quiet for a second as if a notification came in, but no notification will go through the speaker system and the phone won't make noise either. It's quite annoying cause then I have to look the phone to see what it was. I also have the same issue when using Motorola assist where it will understand the command but I can't hear the response.
Is it possible to set something up in Tasker to be able to play the sound through the phone speaker while still retaining Bluetooth connectivity for music?
I have also tried tinkering with the Bluetooth settings in the new assist that gets upgraded and 4.4.2, but to no avail.

what the title says. Is it normal for Texts to be read aloud over the phone speaker even when paired to my car bluetooth?
Every car stereo is different so I hope this helps.
When I'm connected via Bluetooth with both phone and media selected in Bluetooth settings there's 2 scenarios. If I'm listening to the radio the incoming text is muted and will not play through the phone speaker or through my car speakers. If I select media on my car stereo to listen to music that's on my phone via Bluetooth then incoming text will play through my car speakers. I put all my music on a flash drive and use the USB port. Then I uncheck media in Bluetooth settings. Incoming text come through my phone speaker but phone calls still come through car speakers

Mine does not read incoming texts through my car speakers, and volume lowers so much on my phone that I can't hear the text being read. Phone calls are not an issue. Everything routes through my car speakers. Seemed to work fine when I had the Moto X 2013 edition. I've tried changing every Moto Voice setting I can find without success. No issues streaming Google Play Music or Pandora through the Bluetooth car connection, either.
I've had an intermitten problem with bluetooth connection between my Moto X (xt1058) and 2013 Focus. From time to time, when I try to make calls or receive incoming calls while the phone is connected to the car, no sound comes out. The other party can hear me, but I hear nothing (not even the ring when calling out). Eventually I found if I switch the sound to the ear speaker, I can hear. If I switch to the speakerphone, no sound, either. Simply rebooting the phone solves the problem. However, that's a real nuisance! The strange thing is, I have two xt1058, and both exhibit the same problem. Both are on stock 4.4.4, not rooted.
Has anyone experience this? I don't know if it's the phone or the car. Unfortunately I don't have another car with bluetooth to try, and it doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes it happens a few times a week. Sometimes it's fine for a few weeks in a row. My wife never run into that problem with her iphone.
BTW, the bt connection is only for phone, no media.
