So my car allows me to connect my phone via bluetooth to the stereo to make phone calls, but does not allow me to connect media audio (Pandora, YouTube, etc), which I believe is called A2DP. There are some aftermarket kits available to wire in a new receiver in place of the CD changer, but then that co-opts the other bluetooth for phone, which I can control via steering wheel and such.
I was wondering if it is at all possible for an app to stream audio output as if it was a phone call? Is anyone aware of an app that does this or some way to possibly hack it?

Did anyone try this? I'm thinking of buying a new radio WITH bluetooth..
IF the bluetooth radio stuff works, then tomtom/music could go via my HTC which would be awesome... or is it possible to play MP3's via an USB outlet, or have some auxout to my htc?
A few months ago, I bought a head unit (Dual XHD6425) that has front panel aux out, usb, and bluetooth. I originally got it for its 3.5 mm auxillary out for my ipod, but I then bought the add-on bluetooth module and started using my cellphone and now my Fuze. Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) is much more convenient as there are no wires to deal with. The TF3D music program supports AVRC so you can use the unit's fast fwd/rewind/stop buttons to control playback. Tomtom also routes its audio through the bluetooth interface as well. Of course, you also get hands-free calling, which is great as I usually forget to put on or turn on my bluetooth headset when I enter my car.
My head unit could also play music from USB sources (name hard drives, etc, but strangely not ipods). The unit was able to read from the Fuze since it can mount itself as a storage drive providing access to the microsd card. However, in this mode, I'd have to scroll through songs using the unit's interface, which was not very easy to navigate. Still, I can use the USB port to charge/power devices if I needed to do so.
^^^Ditto what he said^^^
My Xterra has a Pioneer single din headunit with built-in Bluetooth. A2DP streaming works great, but sometimes sounds a little tinny or washed-out. If you have added a subwoofer to your vehicle then get a headunit with an independent subwoofer level control. Some songs will be very bassy, while others will need some added punch...this can be adjusted very easily especially with a remote-mount bass level knob.
You can also sync your contacts over to the BT headunits and set speed dials as well as picture dials in some cases. My Pioneer replacement will be a double din 7" touchscreen dvd player with BT. Make sure it has plenty of audio controls/adjustments...digital time correction is a nice feature to help balance sound and set stage.
is it possible to have phone calls streamed via bluetooth to in car audio, but have other audio output via phone speaker..
my issue is the navigation commands from copilot are inaudible when playing music - and also wont seem stream via bluetooth - so my ideal setup would be
phone to car bluetooth for calls only
play audio in car from ICE system
have phone play sat nav commands via phone speaker
quick answer.. yes i can
long answer .. involved switching off the bluetooth media device in the car
Hello,
I have a car which supports only Bluetooth Phone option and this is the case of a lot of bluetooth car devices.
So I'm perfectly able to receive and send phone call but I cannot send music to the car speakers through Bluetooth (this is really due to bluetooth car device and not phone itself).
I'm wondering if it might be possible to emulate phone dialog in order to let the car thought it is receiving a phone communication and so play it.
Phone Music --> Phone call emulation in Bluetooth (caller voice normally transmitted is replaced by music played) ....> Car bluetooth phone call reception --> Speakers
It should be probably needed too to emulate car bluetooth receiver as a bluetooth sound player (in order to cheat android phone) .
Thanks to share your opinion / ideas.

Music is usually routed to Media channel on the phone. Maybe avoiding that could be the solution. Figure out a way to route the audio to the Ringer for example. That might work.

Hey, i've got the Sprint version of the Note 5.
Is there a way I can have some sort of remote control to press "rewind" on my audiobook app? This is for while I'm driving and connected to my car stereo via 3.5mm audio jack.
In a previous version of Android (I don't remember which) I use to be able to have my bluetooth headset connected and press a button to rewind 10 seconds back and still have it play through my car stereo via the 3.5mm audiojack. After the Android update (a while back), every time I try to use my bluetooth headset for the rewind function, the phone automatically switches the audio output from 3.5mm to the bluetooth headset. So, i'd have to manually change the audio output of the phone back to 3.5mm every time I want to hit rewind...no good.
so, how can I have my phone playing the audiobook through my car stereo via 3.5mm plug and be able to remotely rewind anytime I want?
*BUMP* anyone??
I can't find a way to have both my headset and car stereo connected at the same time without changing the bluetooth profiles in settings. Samsung s8 can do this automatically/natively. both bluetooth devices show connected for phone and media audio.
I use a bluetooth headset on my oneplus 6 (trialing it) during working hours for calls and music.. when i get in my car, I sometimes make calls on my headset... but in between calls, I want to listen to music on my car stereo. That's fine.... IF i remove media audio bluetooth profile from my headset first...
But wait..... Sometimes I want to transfer the call from my headset to my car stereo, and/or vice versa. I don't want to change the Bluetooth profile manually every single time i want to use a different device which I have been having to do.
Pretty please can you try connect your nex to 2 devices that have phone and media capabilities and see if you can connect them both at the same time? If so... try and switch calls between the 2 without changing any settings in the bluetooth? Will you take a screenshot of the bluetooth settings page once they are connected too? I appreciate your time.
Only Samsung is making what you want. (Afair)
Yes, you can pair two Bluetooth devices at a time but only one can be used/selected for calling. If you want to pair two Devices of this type you have to disable Media or Calling for the first connected devices. Then the other one is connecting fine.
I use this in my car. Bluetooth streams music to a FM Transmitter and is connected to my car for calls. In this case (when one device is detected as media only) you can connect the Calling devices without a flaw.
