Whenever I sync my EVO with the bluetooth with my car (2011 Sonata) audio system, I cam make & receive calls but if I turn on the Sprint Navigation the audio does not work. If I turn bluetooth off, the turn by turn directions come out of the phones speaker.
Does anyone know of an app that will pipe the turn by turn directions through my car audio system via bluetooth?
If I'm not mistaken, you have to go into settings and tell Navigation to play sounds over BT/headphones.
Don't have that option in 2.8. At least I can't find it.
When bt is connected in the car (which is equipped with bt through the stereo...not a headset), only calls go through the car bt system, any other audio, including navigation, is muted. Does this sound like it is acting correctly to y'all? This means I must disconnect fm bt every time I use navigation and then the volume is too low cuz it's coming from crappy phone speaker...bummer. thanks for suggestions/thoughts.

When going into the bluetooth settings, you should see your stereo listed under "Bluetooth devices". Long-press your stereo and select "Options...". Make sure both "Phone" and "Media" are checked.
My Ford vehicle, using their Sync product, works just as you described.

I have sync too and it can be finicky at times, though it is an older version of sync (2.0 i think). If i start my car without bluetooth already enabled on the phone it disables the media portion of blutooth and defaults to "line in" until i manually go through the sync settings and pick "bluetooth audio". Then everything works fine.

Ahh man I thought you had something there since I've never checked that but everything WAS enabled already

What car/car stereo?
My '11 Saab 9-4x SUV with Bose Nav system connects to my TB for BT Headset/Handsfree profiles, and occasionally (like when I don't have a HTC Sense Facebook account configured) to BT Phonebook Access Profile (so I can call up my TB's phone book on the Bose Nav System's screen.
Because of the BT Headset/Handsfree profile, only PHONE CALL audio comes through the car stereo. All other sounds, including Google Maps/NAV, music, ring tones, Rhapsody, movies, etc comes out the TB's speaker.
HOWEVER when on a phone call, if Google Maps/Navigation is running on the phone, I'll hear the spoken directions across BT.
The same is true if I use my Moto H790 BT head set.
All audio passes through on my wife's 2011 Taurus with Sync. I can stream audio via mpdroid to my phone and play it through her stereo via BT; I believe she uses Nav through it as well.
EDIT: Sync is ridiculously buggy, fortunately updating the firmware is fairly easy
Hello all
One of the issues I have with Bluetooth on this phone is that the controls aren't granular enough. I want to be able to make and answer phone calls in my car using the Bluetooth connectivity, however, when I turn Bluetooth on, Google Now and Maps also try to send their audio to the car speakers, and either A) you can barely hear the voice, or B) it doesn't work at all and I hear nothing (this is especially true when I'm playing other music media in the car that isn't coming from the phone).
Is there any way (or is there an app) that can redirect Google Now and Maps to continue to use the phone speaker, while phone calls can go through the car? Right now it seems like it's the same setting to control both phone calls and audio output from apps.
My phone will connect to my bluetooth device, but there won't be any audio going to it at first. I have to turn off bluetooth and then turn it back on for it to work properly. I must do this everytime.
Also, each bluetooth device use to save the volume levels. For instance when it's connected to my car it will be max volume, but when it's connected to my headphones it will be at the level I set it at from before. It no longer does that.
Any reason why?
I have a Bluetooth headset that I want only the phone calls to go to and I have the media audio disabled the Bluetooth settings for it. however every time I disconnect and reconnect the headset the media audio still shows disabled yet all the audio gets routed to the headset. I have reset the Bluetooth settings and cleared the cache, and also reset up the headset multiple times and the problem still comes back. the only way I can get it to stop routing media audio to the headset is to each time I connect I have to manually go into the settings re-enable and then disable media audio. Any suggestions? This headset works fine on my pixel to set up that way.

This sounds like a similar issue I am having. This is not necessarily a problem with the device but a setting within the headset.
I usually have my BT Headset going more than 12-hours per day. I want the phone app to speak the callers' name over BT (Earphone mode> speak caller ID). The settings in my BT headset override the settings on the phone. Thus, when there is a phone call I hear, "Call from ###-###-####." No matter what I do on the phone, the headset will override it.
In your case, the headset might have a similar override forcing the media audio to reconnect.
Try contacting the manufacturer and see if you can change the settings in the headset.
Cheers,
