I understand that the tuner uses the headphones as an antenna. Is there a way to reroute the sound output to a bluetooth headset; 3rd party app or otherwise? As soon as I connect a BT device it turns the tuner off, even though BT is already on. Is it possible to change restrictions of the app somehow?
Thanks

Hi,
I am looking at getting a new car radio (JVC KD-AVX33) which has bluetooth and an option for using the bluetooth input for satellite navigation audio. (I assume that when it receives audio over the bluetooth it will switch the audio over from what ever I was listening to, to the sat nav voice and then back again when finished)
Is it possible with the bluetooth on these phones for pair the phone to the radio for the Sat Nav instructions, and also a headset for phone calls?
The A2DP and headset/handsfree profile can connect together and independently. It should work without any problem.

Does anyone know of a reliable Bluetooth Audio App? i tried (what seems to be the only one on the market) Bluetooth Audio widget app and it does the trick... it transfers all the sound like music, gps directions and phone call to my jawbone. The application itself crashes all the time and the widget it self is non responsive sometimes and you have to remove it and add it again.
I'm not sure what you mean. I have a stereo bluetooth headset for running and such and all I do is enable bluetooth on my phone and turn on the headset (it was one I got on new egg by motorola and will take calls as well). Anyways it automatically transfers audio after that to the headset only. I assume this is the way out normally is for any headset.
Despite disabling the media audio output every time I connect my BT headset, it turns itself back on when the headset is reconnected. Is there a way to disable this permanently? I want to use the aux out on my stereo for music and the headset for phone, but don't want to keep disabling it every time I turn it on..
Frustrating...
Bump - anyone have any ideas?

There should be third party audio managers that let you pick which output is used for what, I can't think of any names but a little app store scraping should turn something up. That said, I'm sot sure if you can output music and stream a call simultaneously...

I just want it to retain the settings like it did in AOSP. When I set my BT headset to 'Phone Audio' and uncheck 'Media Audio', I want it to keep those settings the next time it connects.
Instead, it turns them both back on again. Which means turning my BT headset on while driving / listening to music results in the audio playing through the BT headset.

AOSP uses a third party audio manager, until it's available as a rom you'll have to find a different third party option. Almost any of them should save your settings...
Any ideas on the app? I've tried bluetooth auto connect as well as trying to set up Tasker profiles. No luck whatsoever.

"Extend functions of your vehicle" - I can do the same with a simple BT connection and the Android Auto app running on my phone. I can use the steering wheel control and the onboard audio system and microphones. Why should I buy a Android Auto compatible infotainment system instead of simply using the Bluetooth connection?

I connected my Android smartphone via BT to my SONY car radio, which can be controlled via the steering wheel control to Pause/Play a track or skip to the next one.
"How to stream music via Bluetooth to SONY audio system in a Ford S-Max"
If I run the Android Auto app, I have all the functions a AA enabled infotainment system has.
This is my setup:
Aftermarket head unit (IDCORE) connected through AUX to car stereo. AA is connected wireless (S10+, stock) with head unit; there is also car BT connected to mobile; when driving TWO active BT connections: 1, phone - car BT for audio and 2, IDCORE for AA).
And this is my problem:
AUX output (head unit -> car stereo) works, but has a quite annoying (static?) noise. Ground loop isolator is set, everything I can do hardware-wise is done -but the quality of AUX sound is MUCH LESS than it is when using BT phone-car connection (makes sense, Meridian built in system, with fiber optic).
Question:
considering above and that there IS an active phone-car BT audio connection during driving (beside the necessary AA-IDCORE connection) is there a way (software, app, switch?) to route AA sound through the phone-car BT audio connection, instead of the (noisy!) AUX wire?
Rooting of the phone is not an attractive option (due to my company account on the phone) - but I would be interested in any solution; as noise on the AUX output is quite disturbing. Thanks in advance
Have you checked the Bluetooth settings and checked music audio for the connection to the head unit?
Just did it. I CAN route music audio (in my case TuneIn) to BT in the settings of the phone (sounds, separate app sounds setting), but 1, this does not work (no sound over car BT from TuneIn, when using it on AA), 2, this setting can only be set for ONE application at the time (and I also use navigation, news service on AA), 3, the Android Auto app (the one I need?) does not show up in the application list of this setting. Still stuck.
My idea was (but I don't know if it is possible) a nifty app, that FORCES all sound (music, nav, news, etc) from the phone to BT (car), even when using AA.
I've got the same problem, using AA over USB and can't get Viper working because it doesn't stream over Bluetooth.
I have the same request. I have an AA unit attached to an original BMW X5 nav system. I can switch between them by long pressing the MENU button. The problem is that the AA unit can output sound only via audio jack and my car's system has fiber optics. The quality is very poor when compared. Is there anyway in which I can force my Android phone to output AA sound through car's BT? The AA unit has an option to do this for phone calls but unfortunatly not for regular sound (Spotify etc).
Anyone heard of anything related to this? I noticed that in the iPhones there is a setting in the accessibility options to route the audio through bluetooth. But there is nothing similar in AA. I can't believe this feature is not requested more.
Has anyone solved it? I'm struggling with the same thing.
I just ended up buying a BT transmitter which connects to my device's jack audio out and in turn it connects to the car's bt. It is stupid that there is no software solution to such a simple problem. Why can it do it for audio calls but not for music!? Why the iPhone can do it but the all configurable God of a mobile OSes simply can't?
Also, another idiotic thing of AA is that it doesn't allow you to switch the call to speaker or another bt device... in fact nothing happens when I get a call on the actual phone when connected to stupid AA. This is sooooo idiotic. Way to go android...
Aawireless also has a fewture that solves this also
Really? Where? What is it's name? Where do I access this?!
Aawireless: that is a piece of hardware again, isn't it (https://www.aawireless.io/)?
I look for an app/ software to solve this issue, if possible..
Aaahh I thought the reference was to Android Auto Wireless not a 3rd party hardware thing.
