I recently got a roadtop devices to have as in my car but sadly its Bluetooth doesn't play nice with my cars Bluetooth... My cars Radio demands that a pin is entered when connecting which roadtop doesn't Support.
So is there a way to force the phone itself to output the sound to another device even it android auto is active?

I have a Pioneer car stereo with built in Parrot bluetooth and media connection. I had this issue with my previous phone so it must be either an Android issue or problem with my car stereo bluetooth. Every time I connect bluetooth to the car stereo the phone enables media connectivity and I have to manually go in and turn it off again. Sometimes I have to turn it on and off again as it says it's connected even though it isn't (tick box is ticked but if I untick it it connects and I have to untick it again and OK it to verify). Also if I disconnect it then cycle through the sources on the car stereo as soon as I get to bluetooth it enables it again.
I don't want it on because I want to hear media audio through the phone speakers and phone calls through the car stereo.
Android 4.1.2 at present.

I think the answer lies in the question here,, Parrot Bluetooth Media Connection.
The stereo isn't 'smart' enough to determine that what is connecting to it is a Phone/MP3 and as such you wont be able to split the audio to have the phone play music and the Stereo take calls, it'll end up being one over the other.
One way around this would be to test with a completely different Bluetooth Headset to see if this allows music to be played on the Device and Calls to come through on the Headset,, failing that its going to have to be a potential dev jobby to split how the device sends its audio and to what specific device,,, if that lies with HTC and Android/Us or Pioneer/Parrot themselves,, might be worth asking whats the official standpoint on this with the Manufacturer and see if they are getting this same issue from multiple folks
uConnect and Bluetooth Media

I have the same problem with my HTC One across four different ROMs, two GE and two Sense.
It's NOT an issue with my car stereo (uConnect system) as it works flawlessly on my Nexus 7 and VZW Galaxy Nexus. I prefer to have media (music, Ingress etc...) play over the phone. Only thing I want to play over the uConnect is the actual phone. No matter how many times I unselect media in the bluetooth settings it selects it again.
I see this is an old thread, anyone have any ideas?
Nope. It does not always do it though. I found that if I leave bluetooth on it seems to be OK just as long as I don't switch through from aux to radio to CD and back to USB again on the Pioneer. If I use the automatic bluetooth app to save battery it connects but then connects with the media option enabled. Bummer.

I've just installed Bluetooth Auto Connect have to go run some errands in a little while, I'll let you know if it helps out managing profiles or not.
If it works let me know what settings you used as I don't understand all the options lol.
bluetooth problem
Hi developers: Thanks Team Venom for a great ROM. I have only one problem. Rom 2.7 no problem with Bluetooth in the car. 3.1 Installation of clean and dirty disables bluetooth. Ten seconds connected and then disconnected. Again, connects and disconnects. So it all over again. It is in version 3.6 ... any change BT software? You can install the software separately BT? Or any other advice? Thank you very much
edit: I deleted the original settings in the car. Again the connection and still the same problem.
Hi,
I've recently bought a new car which has Bluetooth but rather stupidly I've just discovered that it can only be used for calls. So what I'd like to do is buy a 2nd Bluetooth receiver and connect it to the cars aux port so that I can stream Spotify to my car. But my question is, could I be connected to both Bluetooth devices at the same time and could I configure one (the cars) for calls and the other (3rd party) for music? If so how would I set this up on the phone?
Many thanks
Yes it could. I'm using it that way
Just disable calls on 1st and disable music on 2nd device

i'd have thought you are just not setting it up right in the car, but i had a Mini loaner that was also somehow only phone use and not music enabled. just weird.
in your bluetooth settings, there's an exclamation mark inside a circle that is used for device-specific settings (as any other phone has as well) that will let you choose phone and/or media for each device.
so your car will be phone only of course, but on your bluetooth receiver, you'd pair it, and you have the option to turn off the phone function for that receiver so that its an audio-only device
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.
I have a 2014 Acura MDX with no Android Auto Support. I purchased a Navtool kit which allowed me to add Carplay/Android Auto to it. With Carplay, I can configure the phone to play the music through Bluetooth because the Navtool interface plays through Aux and it passes engine electrical noise. When I use my Pixel 6 Pro, even when the phone says it is connected to Bluetooth, the sound is still forced through the Aux output of the Navtool's device.
Is there a way to configure Android Auto to play through Bluetooth?
Thanks,
Nelson
These are not Android Auto.
Hi all,
I've been searching around and it seems there are many use cases for this, mine specifically is I have a cheap AA screen which I want to display Waze on, but I want the music/audio to go through the cars standard bluetooth stereo system.
When you connect to wireless android auto all audio is routed over wireless to that unit. Is there any way around this?
The unit I bought only has a terrible inbuilt speaker or FM transmitter for audio output, and the quality of both is awful.
Hi. I have the same problem
Short answer, No - Android Auto routes only phone calls over Bluetooth and all other audio is routed through WiFi or USB. This is by design.
