Hey all. Whenever I'm in my car my phone is connected to bluetooth so I can receive calls. However, Google Maps voice prompts default to bluetooth. The problem is that if I'm listening to FM then the voice does not come through the speakers (this is an issue with the system in my car). In those cases I want to have the voice prompts come through the phone speaker, but I can't find how to change it from bluetooth. It seems that if my phone is connected to bluetooth then I cannot play prompts through phone speaker. Anyone know how to change this?

I think if you go into the bluetooth setting and press the settings button for your car conenction and uncheck media audio it should stop the maps voice prompts being sent to the car. It will also stop you sending music to the car as well though.

Yeah that works thanks. It's not a very good solution tho. I should be able to have my voice instructions go to my phone speakers regardless of whether I'm streaming music or not. And I shouldn't have to change a setting on my UVO to stop it from going to bluetooth. Thanks tho.

I have my phone setup with my car and quality is great, but i can't figure out how to set the phone to auto switch to a bluetooth device for all calls once it's connected. Is there a way to do this?
My calls go to my bluetooth headset when the headset is already connected. My issue is that the phone doesn't automatically connect to the headset upon power on/boot up. This is the first phone I've had that does this and I don't like it.

It should be automatic, I think (or at least, in the BT devices settings). If not, try Tasker,

I don't get it. My phone auto connects for me. Did it with the tunelink in my car today and the past few weeks, did it for 4 days with my friends ford car with sync and does it at work with many different devices when I get near them.

I'm not sure I 100% get what you want. Are you saying you get the BT connection in your car but it won't send the calls to it? Your phone rings instead?
I can tell when my phone locks into my car's BT because the screen in my car indicates it. All calls then get redirected to the car's system.
My phone automatically connects when I start my car. Calls that I pickup with my steering will buttons route through to bluetooth. All that is fine. My problem is making outgoing calls. I have a feedback dial that is a pain to dial from. I like using the 1 touch calling on my phone much more - except when I dial through the phone, it never pushes to bluetooth. After connecting, I can switch to bluetooth, but I have to manually use the touchscreen to get it going. Is there any way that it can auto connect using bluetooth when I dial from my phone?
Weird, my phone automatically uses bluetooth even when I dial my from my phone. This is true for both my car's bluetooth and my bluetooth headphones. Maybe it's a setting in your car?

Did you check through the phone settings? I think there are some bluetooth settings in there.
Hello all,
I have searched everywhere and can't find a resolution to my problem. I have the verizon GS3 in an Infuse 4G car dock and am running M2 of CM10.1. I also have a bluetooth headset (Motorola Roadster). Currently, I use Dock Sound Redirector to enable dock audio in the car dock (but keep speaker audio in my desk dock at home). I have the headset paired for phone call audio only, because I prefer my music on my car speakers and not the headset.
Because of this, I am not able to use the headset as a handsfree system at all. It will only enable the mic and route audio to the headset when I dial from the phone. If I attempt to use voice dialer it doesn't work. Another interesting item, when I was running stock and rooted I could use SoundHound to capture the music playing out of my cars speakers. I cannot do this with CM10.1. And even though I could do this on stock/rooted, I still couldn't perform voice actions in Google Now or Voice Dialer.
Sorry for such a long post, and this may not be possible, but in summary I would like to be able to use the bluetooth headset as a mic, at the same time as having dock audio to my car speakers. I would be ok with having phone call audio on the headset, as long as I could use voice commands or google now. Has anyone been able to find a solution to this or have a good setup?

BUMP!!! I'm having a similar issue. Same Dock. I am using Vanilla Rootbox Nightlies which uses CM 10's dock audio feature. I too have a muted microphone and I'm not even trying to use bluetooth. It seems like its trying to find a mic using the usb audio but obviously we just have speakers plugged in. Anybody have answers???
Having the same issue on CM 10.1 and 10.2, but in the AT&T variant of the S3. The bug has been reported, months ago, but isn't getting any traction. You can see the bug report at https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1080. Follow the link and comment, and vote for the bug. Maybe we can generate some interest in fixing it.
[UPDATED] - This Works, but it is very buggy. Sometimes it will recognize the bluetooth mic a couple times in a row. Sometimes it will lock up at initializing, or just pop up blank.
So I have been playing with a couple of different apps, and CM 10.2 has finally resolved the USB audio issues with the gs3. Here is how I have been able to get USB audio to work and use a bluetooth headset for voice commands/google now.
What I used:
SoundAbout ... Try one of the beta versions first to make sure it works on your device (allows you temporary access to the pro features).
Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector
Bluetooth Launch (if you want to change the headset button to start a google now voice search)
InFuse 4g cardock
Motorola Roadster
Settings:
CM10.1 - Go to Settings>>Advanced>>USB-dock Audio and uncheck the box (The setting is missing in CM10.2)
- Also Settings>>Bluetooth select your device's settings, and uncheck media audio
Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector - Make sure it is turned on in the bottom left corner, and "Redirect audio through car dock" is checked. (I keep desk dock unchecked so I can hear my alarm in the morning)
SoundAbout - Under "Bluetooth behavior..." make sure "(Mono) microphone override" is checked
Bluetooth Launch - Scroll down and expand "Google Search". Then select "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity" (I have had some issues with the voice search locking up using this method)
Google Now - Go to Settings>>Voice and check "Bluetooth headset"
Now you should be able to play music, and hear navigation through your car speakers. When a phone call comes in, it will mute the music, and send the audio through your bluetooth. When you press the button on your headset it will launch google now and start listening through the bluetooth mic for your voice command/search. I'm going to put together a better write up, along with my dock and car setup sometime soon!

Just made my way back to this thread, I haven't gotten a chance to try it but I will when I get a chance and report back.
Another Update
I have just noticed that my SoundAbout trial period has ended, but everything is still working the same as before (still just as buggy). This may not be needed, or maybe it just needs to be set once?
I've been setting up voice commands recently for use in my car. I have an HTC One M8, but I don't think my issue is device specific (this isn't really an issue per say, but a tweak that I think should be possible).
What currently happens is my phone connects to the stereo using A2DP bluetooth. It plays music and takes phone calls as it should. When I initiate a voice command, the music is paused, the stereo displays "voice ctrl", and the command is heard through the stereo microphone. The issue with this, is the stereo does not return to playing music after the command. I have to press the call button on the stereo to return to the music.
What I would like to have happen is when a voice command is initiated, the media volume is reduced (using Tasker), and the phone microphone is used without triggering the stereo.
I've searched a fair amount, but haven't found any solution for defaulting to the phone mic when bluetooth is connected. I'm convinced there has to be a way to do it, what am I missing?
Solved it once
I have a Htc Desire 600, and my way of solving it is at the call menu there are small icons while on call, there's a bluetooh option, phone option and a handsfree option, i kept the phone option on default, hope that helps
Cheers!
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.
I noticed what could be a bug regarding bluetooth and voice dialing. When the screen is locked and I use voice dial it would always route the call to the speaker phone instead of the Bluetooth. After doing some digging I noticed this happens when I have media unchecked. When I have media check it wouldn't route my calls to the speaker phone. This is very annoying and I don't know what to do to fix it. I don't always want to have media checked because I don't like having notifications playing in my ear all the time.
Are you calling via Google Voice?

Yes I am
There's a Google Voice option to use BT to record audio. Maybe that would help here (even though you're concerned with audio output rather than input).
