I really want an option like this
Enable
[ X ] Audio
[ ] Phone Calls
< Pair > < Cancel >
Because I never, not one single time, wanted a phone call to blast over my car audio. Not once.
I can't be the only one that has wanted the car to be a speakerphone exactly 0 times.
Heck maybe someone is the opposite. They love terrestrial radio or their CD collection and also the speakerphone feature. Give people options.
- modeless 4y agoIs this not a thing? My phone has the option to disable phone calls but leave audio enabled. Also my car now asks before transferring a call in progress from the phone to the car instead of doing it automatically when it's in range.
- kristopolous 4y agoOh it is! It might be new. It's yet another reminder to constantly recheck things and not assume things don't change I wonder if it works. Thanks. I'll try it!
- kristopolous 4y agoSo now I remember. The car refuses to connect unless I give it phone permissions.
- thejosh 4y agoYou can do this on android for quite a while on a per decive level. Not sure if that's what you use
- Toutouxc 4y agoI don't think my iPhone has this, but my 2018 Škoda has this. There are exactly these two checkboxes, they say something like "phone" and "audio" and they do exactly that. And this isn't even when pairing, you can bring up the menu anytime and just enable or disable each functionality. I usually drive, so we connect my girlfriend's phone to "audio" so she can be the DJ while I leave my phone connected to "phone" so I can take calls. (My car as a speakerphone works beautifully. It's not even about the speakerphone, more about the good microphone, the ability to call someone, adjust the volume and then hang up without having to take your hands off the wheel.)
- peepee1982 4y agoI drove a rental BMW a few weeks ago, and I think it had exactly this setting. Don't know if it does what you mention here.
- tetromino_ 4y agoThis is an option in Android. Settings > Connected devices Tap on the device, that brings up a list of switches for features the device is allowed to use. I assume iOS probably has something similar.
- leokennis 4y agoYou are unfortunately assuming incorrectly. Bluetooth on iOS is a mess. If you are paired but not connected to a device, all you can do is forget it. If you are paired and connected, you can: * Change the name of the device as it appears on your phone * If it's an audio device change its function (for example "car stereo", so iPhone will not automatically decrease volume if you put the volume to max which it will do for "headphones", as you probably control volume from the car stereo itself) * Disconnect * Forget That's it.
- propogandist 4y agoThe audio preference to be bluetooth audio only can be configured in the cars bluetooth connection settings, usually.
- l33tman 4y agoAll Android phones have exactly that selection when connecting to a BT speaker. It explicitly says if you're connected for audio and/or speech and you can set your preferences.
- _AzMoo 4y agoWhy wouldn't you want that? Do you not take calls in your car?
- kristopolous 4y agoI consider calls private and it makes me uncomfortable
- iggldiggl 4y agoAnd it's funny how quite a few times people don't realise how their conversation is perfectly audible (and even quite intelligible) outside of the vehicle due to some combination of either bad soundproofing/speaker placement and/or excessive interior volume levels.
- everythingbagel 4y agoMy phone connection is screwed up in my 2012 Honda Civic so all the caller hears is a high pitched screeching sound. I have not found a way to turn off calls on the Honda system or on my iPhone and it's so frustrating! Especially when calling out because you can't switch to using the phone's speakers/mic until the call has been answered. This means there is always a 10-20 second bit of time where I have to shout my apologies until I can get it changed. Or I have to turn bluetooth off entirely and it takes a minute to get it connected again after my phone call.
- KMnO4 4y agoEvery Toyota I’ve driven has this option. I agree, it’s quite nice.
- Jnr 4y agoToyotas used to have that option.
- smsm42 4y agoI actually take calls over car audio frequently. But only when I am inside the car, obviously. When car's Bluetooth tries to take over from the garage while I'm inside the house, that's hugely annoying.
