With the old assistant I used to hear the results over my Bluetooth in my car. Now with the new assistant when I send a text I don't hear the response over the speakers or the confirmation to send. The audio does mute however I don't hear anything. I do have the assistant set to full response..
Anybody else have this issue. I drive a 2015 BMW 2 series..

This is widespread problem lot of talk about it on Google forums but no solution.
I seen some things on the google forums, but from what I can tell they had to do with the mic not working when assistant is activated. Guess there's just an overall problem with the bluetooth in general. Hopefully they could fix it in an upcoming update.

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.

Try SoundAbout in the Google Play store.
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'm having an issue with Google Now and my Note 3. When I have my bluetooth headset and hit the button it brings up Google search and I can ask it to call someone, etc. The problem is that the initial chime Google makes is VERY loud, to the point where it may be hurting my ear. The rest of the volume is just fine, phone calls are not too loud, system sounds, ringer, etc are just fine. I've tried this with 2 bluetooth headsets and have the same results.
Does anyone know if I can adjust or better yet just eliminate that chime?
Wow, no one else has this issue? I've had this happen with 3 different android phones and 2 different bluetooth headsets.
I don't have the issue. I'm using the turtle beach xp510 headset. Maybe try running viper4android and setup your Bluetooth audio through that.

Thanks, I took a peek at that before but had no idea which setting would apply to the BT headset. There is so much you can adjust in that program it's easy to get lost.
i have whatsapp on my motox 4.4.4, de verizon, when the phone is connected to my car bluetooth, and i get a whatsapp voice message and play it, no audio comes from my phone or the cars bluetooth/speakers.

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..
In Google Now, there's an option to disable "Bluetooth Headset - Records audio through Bluetooth headset if available". Doing that allows me to trigger Google Now in the car (E92 BMW) where it does not support triggering Bluetooth mic/Call button press pass through. Wondering if there's a way to do that with Moto Voice.
Essentially now, once Bluetooth is paired, Moto Voice routes all audio and mic input to the Bluetooth system. I want it to work like Google Now - output goes to Bluetooth A2DP but input stays with the built in mic.
My buddy has had luck using Moto Hint software with his Nexus 6. Hope it works for you.
Which is Moto Hint? I can't find it on my phone. Only thing I have is "Moto" which controls Voice, Display, Assist and Actions.

The Moto Hint is a Bluetooth earbud.

Yeah, that's not going to be of any help. Car already have Bluetooth handsfree calling. I just need to make Moto Voice listen on phone's built in mic instead of Bluetooth device.
I apologize. The app he uses is hint2search that routes the search button in his console to trigger the OK google hotword. My apologies.

Strange. I don't have the same vehicle but the way mine works is the way you want it to work (i think).
My phone pairs, and all my voice commands work through the phone and outputs through the vehicle speakers over bluetooth. I have been looking for a way to make it work so that if i hit my bluetooth button, i can dictate a command over bluetooth. With the hint2search app i can do it, but it can be unreliable and the output is super quiet for some reason.
this probably doesn't help much but at least this will bump this thread.

Yeah, that's how it works when the car's system is capable of passing through bluetooth commands. Older first gen bluetooth systems don't have that capability
so my question is, why would you want to speak through he phones mic rather than over bluetooth? For the always listening stuff?
