I know this is not the best setup, but I have a 3.5mm aux input on my car stereo. I have purchased a usb powered Bluetooth dongle with a 3.5mm audio output. I have paired my phone with the Bluetooth and it connects fine. I can now stream pandora, or any other music app through my car stereo. However, I have two problems that I need help with :
1) audio from streamed music only plays through the front and back speakers on the passenger side.
2) when making a phone call, the audible touch tones play through the car speakers, but once the call rings/connects the audio plays through the phone's earpiece and not the car speakers.
I have no clue as to why everything else plays through the car stereo except for phone calls. Any help is appreciated.

just as the title says, is it possible to send music via bt to my stereo just like when i make or recieve calls?
not that i'd use this as a sole way to listen to music in my car, but i just started wondering if it were possible, and if so, how?
It's possible, but you have to make sure that your Stereo has the bluetooth profile for A2DP. It's the same pairing process, but instead of only streaming call audio it will stream any other audio too.
Also, the stereo will have a headphone icon under bluetooth preferences.
Hope this helps.
I do that all the time in my car. The sound quality is not as good as hooking up a cable through th aux jack. The nav direction also come through my car stereo.
Ah yes, I forgot about A2DP being needed... That would make my situation impossible... I'll just have to get a 3.5 mm to RCA plug for aux... Thanks guys.

I had some trouble with this, but the key for me was making my Pioneer head unit "forget" my previous phone. Now it works great!
Actually there is a way to stream music wirelessly to your car stereo: mini FM transmitters. Quite cheap on ebay. I wouldn't bet on audio quality tho.
I use a USB bluetooth dongle with a 3.5 mm headphone jack in my car in order to stream music from my phone. I plug the dongle into the lighter outlet for power and then connect the dongle to the aux jack in the car's stereo. Everything works great when playing any media. However, it won't connect for call audio. If I were to dial a phone number, the sound from the key touches play through the radio, but as soon as the call connects the audio plays through the phone's earpiece. I am not able to get the in call audio to stream through my bluetooth. When I go to the bluetooth settings, I see an option for media audio and nothing for in call audio. If anyone can help me get this fixed, that would be great. Also, I am on CM 10 RC 1, but this did the exact same thing on stock touchwiz.

I have the same issue on stock. This thread isn't the same as what you're asking, but he does state that he is trying to find a workaround to the same issue.

Thanks for the reply. However, my issue is that once a call connects, the audio goes through the phone's earpiece. I can only stream media (youtube, Pandora, music, etc.) through Bluetooth, but calls won't connect to my Bluetooth setup at all.
I really hope someone has a solution to this.
Hi All,
After much searching for this simple request, how to enable Audio output to the headphone / 2.5mm audio jack and output to bluetooth speakers at the same time.
This is not a request how to get music to play on bluetooth mono headphones etc.
I am wanting to have my Nexus 5 plugged into the speakers and amp in one room, then also have my UE Boom in the next room playing audio via bluetooth.
As soon as I plug in the speakers via the jack, the bluetooth sound output is muted.
Going into Bluetooth settings and unticking music and then ticking music starts audio playing via bluetooth but stops audio via 2.5mm jack.
Any settings I need to know about? Apps or custom ROMs to do this simple feature.
Think of this as a keep playing to speakers when headphones are plugged in. Possible in Ubuntu, is it possible on Android?
Many Thanks,
Rob.

Just to bump the thread, as I know how fast paced the Nexus 5 forum is, and I have waited 10 days before re-asking.
Anyone with information that could help?
Many Thanks,

Ok, so on my other phones I could have my Bluetooth connected, be playing music through an auxiliary cable to my truck speakers, when I get a call, switch audio to my Bluetooth.
On my S5, it doesn't give me the option to switch, the audio just stays on the truck speakers.
Is there any way to change this to have it play music through speakers, but phone calls through Bluetooth?
Hello!
I would like to use the SmartWatch 3 in the car, hands-free calling. In addition I have the SmartWatch connected to the mobile phone and the mobile phone connected to the AUX port of my car-radio. Now I can hear the caller over the car-speaker, but he me not. The integrated microphone in the watch not work.
Can help my?
No one has an idea?
Times an example without a watch: If you connect the phone to the AUX output and someone calls, then you hear the voice over the car speaker, but he does not hear me. The microphone is then switched always silent. Why is that? Is that a problem with the cable?
The watch microphone has one and only function: translate your voice into commands for Google Now.
If you attach your phone to the aux port of your car stereo, depending on the phone itself, the phone mic will shut off or work as always.
In Xperia phones, the headphone jack doesn't exclude the microphone as long as it's not connected to a headset.
If I connect my Xperia Z Ultra to the Aux port of my car stereo, I can hear the caller and he can hear me if I keep the phone mic at a reasonable distance.
To keep things way better and simpler, I had a SBH20 bluetooth headset laying around, connected to the car stereo, and placed in the middle of the car.
That way I can stream music and call hands free without worrying about the position of the phone itself, cause the headset has its own mic, obviously. [emoji6]
