Bluetooth call / media sound turn on / off

Dear Community!


I have a problem with the bluetooth connection in my car. Usually I hear the radio and make some calls through the bluetooth connection and sometimes I use my phone for navigation. The problem is that I don’t hear the navigation sounds. I think the phone plays through it as a bluetooth media sound but because of i’m hearing the radio, my car doesn’t “play” it.

I would like to turn off on my phone the bluetooth media playing with my car and use it only for calls. How can i do it?


And the other problem in the same topic with my bluetooth speaker.

I don’t want it to use for calling, only for media playing. How can i turn the calling off?


I’m a new ios use, in android i had the option for all paired bluetooth devices to turn on/off the media or call sounds.

iPhone 13, iOS 15

Thank you for the reply

Of course it works that way, but I don't want to use it that way. I rarely have to use navigation and for this couple of times I want the phone speaker to speak in navi app. Calls can go via bluetooth but i don't need anything else in the car. It’s frustrating if you can set this on android but no option on ios.

These are clears and if I set the to car multimedia to bluetooth media option everything is okay. Every sound from my phone comes through the bluetooth (media, calls, navi, etc)

the problem is that i want to use the bluetooth only for calling. I’m listening the car radio, the bluetooth calling is working, but the other media sounds i want to listen on my phone (notification, navi, etc)

Make sure the navigation is not muted (speaker symbol with line thru it)

When the navigation starts to speak use the vehicle or phone volume. controls to increase it •while it is speaking•

To stop calls during driving set up a Driving Focus,
