Using "ok google" from the lockscreen

[Joec7]

When I drive, I have a bluetooth speaker I use. I like the way ok google handles phone calls, but in order to use that I have to unlock the screen while driving (not exactly hands free). If I don't unlock the phone, I get a slightly different voice (s Voice?) that doesn't work as well for phone calls. Is there any way I can get the google one to work when the phone is locked and I hit the button my my bluetooth speaker to place a call?

Thanks
Joe

Apparently there is no simple way to accomplish this. But, here's a thread I found with a work-around. Sounds like a pain and the settings revert after a reboot(which sucks), but in theory it should work. Haven't tried it yet myself. Hopefully it can help you though.
