for those who use the bluetooth in car for media and calls, particularly with aftermarket stereos, does anyone else experience this:
skipping music
really really bad voice calls
moto voice really quiet
my moto x has all of these with my a/m stereo in my car, but works fine in my wife's with a factory unit. this is my second moto x, and it still does it. i was considering switching devices, but the only verizon devices i like are the moto x, turbo and nexus 6, all made by motorola and all seem to suffer this problem.
I've never had a problem with voice or music, but the quiet moto voice is a known issue in 5.0. Hopefully it is addressed soon.

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.

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.
On my 2014 Kia Optima the phone & media audio connects just fine. While streaming music, if i take a call, audio streaming doesn't work anymore afterwards. The car stereo still shows the songs as if they were playing, but no audio is being streamed. I can keep on taking calls and they work just fine through bluetooth, but music audio never returns.
I can fix this by turning off/on bluetooth, or placing a call on speakerphone before it ends. The problem always returns after the next call: no music.
Seems to be a problem of the A2DP protocol not being able to reconnect; Which I think some other people have had.
This is only happening on all Moto Xs with 4.4. Tested with HTC one 4.4.2, and Moto X 4.2.2 and no problems. Might either be a 4.4. or Moto X 4.4 problem.
Anyone with same problem, or any ideas/suggestions?
My 2013 acts the same way kk. Thinking about going back to 4.2.2

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.
I have a question and would like everybody's feedback. I have been having a lot of issues with Bluetooth on my moto x. Like when I turn my headphones on and they pair up, there will be no audio until I shut them off and turn them on a second time. And this is across multiple headphones. Kernel version is 3.4.42. Build number KXA21.12-L1.29.1 Would be interested to hear if anybody has similar issues? I am having so many issues with Bluetooth now, I am wonder if it is just the Bluetooth technology itself that is not so good?
What ROM are you on? What other apps are you using?
I have almost no issues with Bluetooth on my moto 360 and car.

My phone connects easily with my car.
I usually have to toggle my media or phone in BT settings for my headset to work. But I have to do the same thing when connecting to my computer, so it may be a headset issue.
Every phone and tablet I've owned has had something inconsistent with the bluetooth. Works sometimes and sometimes you have to toggle something.
Hi people owners of Moto x i have a problem with my Moto x microphone i cant listen my voice when i speak normal even if i scream i just listen a few who know the fix?
