[Q] How to use bluetooth headset with Google voice navigation?

When I use google navigation, I cannot get the voice to come through the bluetooth headset even though I can use the phone with the headset. I tried two different headsets, but when using the google voice navigation, the voice always come out from the Note speaker, and not the bluetooth headset.
Anyone knows how to divert the voice navigation to the bluetooth headset. I need it because when someone else is in the case talking, sometimes is hard to hear from the speaker, and it will be much clearer I can listen to the bluetooth headset.
My nokia phone was able to do that when using the Nokia map for navigation.

Goto Settings-->Bluetooth then tap OR tap and hold the Bluetooth device. You should then see a list of profiles the BT device supports. Be sure Media Audio is checked as that is how the G Nav sound is routed.

Voice Control and Car Bluetooth?

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.

[Q] Bluetooth and voice diversion and cars :)

Hey guys,
I have a BT car headset which allows me to listen to music through A2DP and take telephone calls with it's built in microphone.
However, the built in mic is CRAP for voice activation and calls where as I can use my Gear to voice activate stuff and it works perfectly when driving.
However, if I dial using my watch, then the conversation goes through the watch, so 2 questions:
- Can I dial with the watch, then have my conversation via the car stereo's BT?
- Going one step further, can I have a conversation that uses the mic of the Gear and the speakers of the car?
I know this is all a question of BT diversion, but I don't know how to achieve it. Tasker?

[Q] Best Bluetooth headset to Use with Google Now?

Has anyone found any headset that works 100% with google now?
By that I mean:
The bluetooth button can trigger google now
Google now will respond threw the bluetooth headset
Google now recognizes commands threw the headset
Voice recognition understands you 80% of the time

Bluetooth and driving mode

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.
