Car Dock Audio

[summoandroid]

I want to use my Plantronics Pro + for calls but plan Pandora thru my car dock. Anyone know how I can do this.

When I am plugged in to the car dock and connected to the Plantronics Pro the music plays thru the headset not the car dock.

Thanks.

Before I go into my explanation of solutions, I'm assuming you're using the 3.5mm input to connect to your car stereo because as far as I remember, the car dock doesn't have added speakers on it.

I figured this out 1st day I owned the phone (I acutally purchased the dock a couple days before I actually got the phone). If your bluetooth headset uses A2DP, but you also use the 3.5mm output to play music through your car speakers, all of the audio will automatically override to play in your bluetooth. Reason being, the audio is being transmitted via USB connection, not directly through the headset input on the phone.

My solution, w/ my Jawbone ICON, was to turn off A2DP, so I could take advantage of the 3.5mm input that is on the accompanied chord attachment.

If you can't turn off A2DP, or you'd prefer not turning that function off, I'm pretty sure the only solution would be to plug the 3.5mm adaptor directly into the phone's 3.5mm input.
