With my Samsung Captivate, simply using their car power adapter triggers car dock mode. This doesn't seem to work with SR. Anyone has any clue on how to trigger car dock mode? I'm looking for this as I had my Captivate programmed to do certain thing when in the car via Tasker. Now, the only way for me to do this is to always turn on bluetooth when powered to see if it connects to my car's handfree kit. So bluetooth is turned on even when at home or work. Not very desirable. So it would be great if something can trigger the car dock mode.

Apparently one cannot use a bluetooth earpiece while the Nexus One is in the Car Dock.
This I find rather annoying because my phone is not mounted very close to the driver seat, and I find callers always saying they can't hear me.
Can anyone here figure out a way to get a bluetooth earpiece to work while in the dock?

Tho I haven't tried it with an ear piece, the following combinations seem to work fine for me when in the car dock:
Phone / Media connected to bluetooth CD player in truck
Phone connected to bluetooth cd player and Media connected to car dock
Phone connected to sony LiveView device via bluetooth.
This is all while the phone is sitting in my dock, so I'm not sure why you would not be able to?
Are you on a stock or custom rom?
Well my car doesn't have a bluetooth receiver, so I use the car dock to play the navigation prompts.
Whenever I put my phone into the dock, it unpairs my Jawbone Earpiece and won't let me re-pair it unless I unpair the dock.
Would be nice if I could pair both.

Maybe try changing it so that the dock is only pairing Media (long press car dock in bluetooth settings and click options and uncheck phone) and the jawbone is only pairing Phone.
Not sure if stock roms support dual profiles or whatever to pair with multiple devices at once, but Cyanogenmod does, at least, because I have mine paired to my dock and my receiver at the same time every day.
Also, not sure if this matters but I use dock nothingness (free app) to make my phone NOT launch the car dock app, and then dockcarswitches (another free app) to turn on/off my bluetooth when it's put in and out of the car dock.
I'll try that out tomorrow. Thanks for the advice though. Didn't think to actually set that up the way you did. Silly me.
Greetings,
As the thread title says, I'm experiencing an issue where A2DP audio stops working when my HOX enters Car Mode. I'm running the stock (and, therefore, not rooted) 2.20 firmware, connecting to a Logitech S-00113 Wireless Speaker Adapter.
It works flawlessly when I'm not in Car Mode, so I don't necessarily think it's a hardware problem, but as soon as I enter Car Mode all the sound comes out of the phone speaker instead of streaming over Bluetooth. The behavior is consistent whether I'm using the stock HTC Car app or one of the third-party Car apps from the Play store. I'm not sure if it matters or not, but I'm not using the HTC or iBolt car dock - I'm launching Car Mode manually via an NFC tag.
Is there some setting somewhere that I'm overlooking? Or is this a bug with Car Mode? Any assistance/pointers would be appreciated.
It seems that my car only recognizes the media portion of my S3 over Bluetooth. When I go to pair it, my phone shows my car as headphones only, no phone. Is this a problem with my phone or my car? I have a Mazda CX-5.
Anyone? Bueller?
It does that by default....I have a Mazda 3. After connecting to the car go into the bluetooth settings on your phone and there should be an option to connect the phone as well.
I've done that and it still can't pick it up.
Hello All,
I just bought a used Lexus and it has bluetooth for phone, but not streaming. I have an aux port in the console and a usb port so I would like to add a bluetooth adapter for streaming music. I am looking for one that turns on automatically with the car (doesnt require me to push a button), will pair automatically with my phone (again no button pushing), and can be powered off a usb port. I do not want one that does hands free, just one that does streaming only.
I am having trouble finding one that auto turns on and connects. Does anyone have a good suggestion?
I ended up getting the Blackberry Music Gateway 2 and it works just great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WPYIY3O/
Has anyone noticed any static or interference when using Bluetooth Audio in a car or anywhere else for that matter?
I use my phone in a Lexus IS and it seems to work fine, but I tried it in a newer Lexus vehicle and the static/interference was so bad it was almost enough to make me want to turn it off.
Phone was not plugged into the car or anything.
