Hello,
I am looking for a music remote control to use while driving, so I don't have to reach for my phone to change music track.
Right now I am learning toward buying one of these:

With these, you are supposed to plug your headphones into that dogtag. My question is, if you don't plug your headphones into the dogtag, but instead plug the headphones into the phone itself, will the music come through the phone itself? If it doesn't then it defeats the purpose//

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it sounds like you're missing the point.
You pair that device with your phone, and audio will be sent from your phone to it via bluetooth. You then connect the "dogtag" to your car's head unit's aux-in. You can then control the audio via the buttons on the dogtag.
edit: oh I see what you mean. You want to use the dogtag solely for control and still connect the headunit directly to the phone? I haven't fiddled with BT audio in a long time, so I'm not sure if you can deselect the audio profile and just use control. If not, sound will be routed over bluetooth.
You could look into a headunit with bluetooth support as well.
i have that same headset, which is originally desigend by jabra as BT3030. didn't use it anymore but just checked what you are trying to find out.
1. when the headset is not connected to telephone media you are not able to use the dogtag to control the player.
2. if the dogtatg is connected to telephone media your are able to control the player but the headphone out of the phone is muted.
so it does not work the way u want it to. sry mate
But I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to plug the phone into the car and use the remote by itself.
Plug the remote into the car and it becomes more or less a fixed item.
You'll be able to do everything just the same, except that there's a wire or two connecting to the remote.
You'll be able to leave the phone in your pocket. Depending on the design of that BT player, if it switches on and resumes playback when there is USB power, it'd be pretty much a completely automated solution. Turn the car on, USB power is supplied, it pairs with your phone in your pocket, and playback resumes.
Do you know of any application that manages your bluetooth connections?
Here's what I'm talking about, I have bluetooth headphones, several speakers and my car that all are connected to my phone and I'm having several small issues.
- As soon as I turn on bluetooth it tries to automatically tries to connect to these certain speakers, I don't want that and don't know how to stop it.
- If I'm in my car, my phone connected to my car for calls and I'm listening to music through the headphone jack but it will automatically connect to a set of bluetooth speakers in my home when get home and pull into the driveway. So music will play through those speakers instead of my headphone jack. I obviously don't want that either.
-Titanium Backup never restores my bluetooth connection either so if there is an application that can save those too that would be helpful.
I've tried posting something similar to this without any responses, so please don't bump this thread.
I need to see if anyone has this problem. My n4 did not have this issue.
Shouldn't the 3.5mm line out take precedence over a Bluetooth headset? When I have my bt headset turned on and connected, sometimes I want to play something at home or in my car that requires the line out. Once I plug the 3.5mm jack into the phone, the music starts playing in the cars aux radio even with Bluetooth on. I can be listening to music in my headset but once that cable is plugged in, it auto switches to line out.
The problem is that after anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes, the music will re route back to the headset taking over the line out while line out was still playing.
Sometimes I will reconnect the 3.5 cable and it will re route to that but like I said it will eventually route back to the bt headset, so the music stops playing in the car radio, but I'll pick up my bt headset and hear it routed back to that again. Driving me crazy!!
Can anyone please replicate this? It doesn't need to be the line out going to another receiver, so u can even try plugging in headphones but make sure you are paired to an a2dp Bluetooth headset first. Within a few minutes, as long as there isn't anything wrong with my phone, you should get the same problem.
So what I've been doing is turning off the bt on my headset while using line out but it's annoying when I get another call because I have to quickly turn on the headset, wait for it to connect, and then answer the call. Like I said the nexus 4 did not have this problem.
Please help.

So, this is a weird one, and chances are none of you will ever experience it, but maybe you might know how to fix it.
I use a Moto Hint "earset" to listen to podcasts with Pocket Casts and audiobooks with Audible. When I get into the car, the car tries to pair with the phone, but since my car only has phone bluetooth and not audio bluetooth support, I don't bother disconnecting the Hint and plugging in an audio cable unless I'm going further than a few minutes.
But whenever the car tries to connect to the phone, the audio stops. ONLY if I'm using Pocket Casts! And ONLY with the Moto Hint! Audible works fine. My Plantronics headset works fine. Waze works fine.
I've contacted Pocket Casts as well, but I don't expect them to treat this as a red ball
I have a bluetooth speaker at home, and also use bluetooth in my car.
Whenever I get in my car, and start listening to music in the garage, it will usually start playing on the speaker in the living room.
I have to manually disconnect, and then reconnect the car's bluetooth.
Also, I might be watching a video on my phone, and the living room speaker will all the sudden connect. I want to avoid this as well.
I could disconnect the speaker, but it will just reconnect on its' own later.
I feel like there should be a way to designate a device to never connect automatically, and only ever connect when I request it.
Also, ideally, allow one device to kick the other one off. So, when my phone detects the car, it should disconnect any other devices.
I hope I explained the problem well.
