Bluetooth as speech in car

[Donovan Smith]

Hi. I used my phone for a long route in my car Over the stereo, I could only have sound if the source ( iPhone) was treated as music over blue tooth. Not speech. It creates a few different issues

• Volume cannot be increased on my I phone in app. When asked to confirm volume change via pressing device volume button, input is NOT accepted. Volume stays at %35. If I disconnect and change volume in app, when I then re connect volume is automatically reset to %35.

• if I turn car volume up it turns devices music source up as well. So I can’t hear instructions. If I turn music off I can then obv get enough volume. I can then choose to have no music and no radio OR mar instructions.

• car is treating my I phone and the sound as a music source. But when I use google maps, sound comes through car stereo fine and I can play radio at different volume level.

• Where is the option in the app to make Bluetooth accepted as a tel call in the app?

• I haven’t tried Bluetooth only over air as I need a power source for trip ( can’t think if a cable into a cigar lighter usb would make a difference).

• I haven’t tried Bluetooth the work around where I get sound from my device and music etc from my stereo, but then I cannot accept tel calls through car stereo. Any ideas please?

Ecco la traduzione in inglese:

Hi, I also use an iPhone and MRA only works as a music source. Try turning the iPhone volume all the way up and lowering the car’s volume.
The part I don’t understand is that my iPhone lowers the music volume a lot when I receive an instruction from MRA, and with my intercom it’s perfectly audible. I’ve never tried it in the car.

I thought this was an Android-only problem, but your setup proves it is not. Which iOS version do you run?

@Con-Hennekens
iphone 15 con ios 18.6.
As I was saying, it’s not a problem because during music playback, if instructions come from MRA, the music volume lowers and everything is perfectly audible.

@Alex-reds, apparently for @Donovan-Smith it is...

iOS 18.6. I phone 13. I haven’t tried the volume up first before connecting but from memory that would probably mean the volume is the same level for sound being treated as a music source. On my bike I can set diff volume levels for different applications via my blue tooth intercom
