Notifications coming in really silent? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I am listening to music (via Spotify) in my car plugged into the aux port, my notifications for calls and messages seem to be coming in really silently.
Additionally I can't use the speakers in my car for hands free calling because the sound only plays through the phone when I am in a call.
Any sort of fix for this?

Question about Bluetooth profiles on the Diamond

Hey all,
I just picked up a shiny new set of Sony DR-BT10CX A2DP headphones, because I was sick of the huge Diamond headphone adapter.
I was hoping that the clever folks of xda-developers could clear up a few things for me, though.
Does A2DP support calling (microphone, etc), or should the phone switch the HFP/HSP when a call is made (or comes in)?
I ask because I'm getting bizarre behaviour...
If I'm listening to music and I make a call, the music mutes and I get my friend's voice through the headphones, but I have to speak through the phone.
If I'm listening to music and I receive a call, the music still mutes, but I have to use the phone to hear and speak.
Also, voice commands don't work through the microphone.
If the phone is supposed to switch into HFP from A2DP to deal with calling, this all makes sense (sort of...), but it doesn't explain why the profile switching doesn't happen.
I know there are already a bunch of topics about the Diamond and A2DP, but nothing that fits my situation. Since I'm using the Telus CDMA Diamond, I imagine that the other problems with A2DP were fixed (since I never have the problem of the phone playing music through the speaker instead of the headphones after a call), but it's still not perfect.

Voice command issues

I use my diamond in the car a lot. I have a jawbone, which i love, and I have a 3.5mm jack adapter to connect the diamond to the hi-fi so that i get driving directions and music through the car's hifi. I use MS voice command for voice dialling, and prior to getting the diamoind I used to love the message notifications through my headset.
Problem is, if you have the notifications turned on, when you get a message, the diamond cuts the music from the hi-fi, and switches all the audio to the jawbone, which means you can't hear the notification, and you go half deaf.
My question is, has anyone got knowledge of voice command to allow me to direct notifications to different outputs? I ideally want all notifications through the 3.5mm jack, so they play ont he car hi-fi, but I want to pick up calls on the jawbone. I also don't want to put all notifications to the diamond speaker (which would do the job when in the car), as then all my colleagues will hear the subjects of my e-mails when i'm in the office.
The options available in msvc seem really limited, and it's a proper fiddle to go in a change them when you get in and out of the car, so i've just got notifications turned off now, which is a shame.
Second question, can you make msvc control the TF3D music player? I've not tried playing with this so apologies if it's straightforward or been covered elsewhere.

Anyone use Moto-X on a motorbike

I upgraded to the Moto-X for the touchless controls as I commute to work and back on my motorbike and I was really unsatisfied with alternatives floating around to simulate touchless control.
Now when I am in my car and using my bluetooth headset the voice control works just fine, I can navigate, call and send quick messages no problem
But on my bike I use a Viper RSv-131 helmet which has bluetooth built in and I listen to local radio or music whilst I'm riding but my Moto-X does not respond when I cay Ok Google now or when I press the button on my helmet either I can answer incoming calls fine but thats it.
Does anyone else use a Moto-X on a motorcycle/motorbike or even a regular bicycle with bluetooth and do you have similar problems?

Thanks Etcetra, I have bluetooth headset option turned on and it works using my BT headset in the car.
My gut reaction is my car headset is a regular over the ear BT headset but my helmet is like BT stereo headphones with a microphone and so I think it's a different kind of BT but I'm not an expert.
Any advice would be welcome
Check to see which profiles are connected on each device by going into Bluetooth settings and tapping the little settings icon next to the connection.
My helmet comes up as BLINK II and is ticked for phone and media audio

That's unfortunate as it suggests an incompatibility issue between the two. It should certainly work using the phone profile.
Check with the helmet maker... maybe they have a firmware update available.
Turned off media audio and just tried phone audio but still the same: (

Phone call and listen to music?

Is there a way to talk on my BT headset and continue to listen to music (via cable into stereo) at the same time? I have an 2008 Highlander and listen to music via a cable/3.5MM jack. However, when a phone call comes in, the music is muted and call routed to my headset. Now I have no music to sooth my soul while my sister goes on a 10 minute complaining rant (JK).

[Q] Moto assist.. Texts are not read aloud over bluetooth in car.

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.
