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.

OK this is a bit convoluted so please bare with me:
I have a motorola T605 installed, but do not have it hooked up to my car stereo. I use a 3.5mm cable from my Note 3 to my car stereo, and the T605 just for phone calls, BUT I do use the controls on the T605 to skip tracks.
The problem I have is it works great, until I make or receive a phone call, then the Bluetooth AVRCP profiles cease to work, and the volume keys, which were being used to skip tracks before the call, now only adjust the phone volume, and the T605 itself blinks Blue (indicating phone profile connected) instead of flashing yellow (indicating phone and media profiles connected) as it was before the phone call.
Once it happens the only way to restore it is to shut off the bluetooth car kit (ie turn my car off). Powering the bluetooth on the phone off/on does nothing, as when it reconnects it still only have the phone functionality.
When I look at the setting>Bluetooth menu on the Note, both before and after a call, it always says that both Phone and Media profiles are active and connected.
For the record I am using X-Note ROM.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance everyone.

Ok so the moto T605 is connected via bluetooth, and under bluetooth settings both phone and media are checked correct? BUT your sending the media via 3.5mm jack. I hope I read what you wrote right. If I did, I think you need to UNcheck the media box in bluetooth settings and just have phone connected. This way the music will play via 3.5mm until the phone rings. Then it will mute the 3.5mm and you'll hear the phone call over bluetooth connection. Also since the T605 is still connected via bluetooth it should still change your tracks.
Try that or tell me I read the whole post wrong and we'll try a different scenario. lol
I think you misunderstand. The audio is playing fine out of the 3.5mm jack. My goal is to keep the AVRCP connected so I can use hte button on the bluetooth car kit to control the audio player functionality of note 3 when not on a call.
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?
Have you tried Google>Settings>Voice>Bluetooth headset

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: (
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.
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?
For ages I have been trying to be able to listen to navigation voice from external loudspeaker while my phone is connected to my car's BT, with no avail.
The scenarios in a car are two:
1. Phone connected to car's BT, car's stereo on BT AUDIO, phone playing music thru BT on car's speakers, navigator on and voice playing thru BT on car's speakers >>>> OK NO PROBLEM
2.Phone connected to car's BT, car's stereo on FM RADIO, phone NOT playing music, navigator on and voice.... >>> HERE'S THE PROBLEM: I CANNOT HEAR THE NAVIGATION VOICE, neither thru BT on car's speaker nor from phone's external loudspeaker
I have tried for ages to solve problem 2 with no avail...
Yesterday I had to totally reset the phone, back to stock, I connect it to my car's BT, turn on FM RADIO and start navigation and... VOILA' radio is playing and navigation voice is coming out from phone's external loudspeaker. BUT.... THIS MORNING TRIED THE SAME and nothing: no voice...
Anyone can help?
