Voice calls over car speakers?

[oper8or]

Is there a way to get the audio from voice calls to play over the car speakers when in the Fusion 4G car dock? When I am listening to the tunein radio app and get a phone call the audio from the phone call only plays on the phone speaker, and can barely be heard.

I have Bluetooth built into my cars receiver so I've never tried this before but it supposedly works when using a dock. The problem is that when a phone call comes in, the speaker phone gets activated. By disabling the speaker phone when the phones docked and a call comes in... it should route it to your cars speakers instead.

This method was taken/quoted from a Motorola thread so I'm not 100% sure if it works but its worth a shot.

Here's how to get around it:

1) Go to Android Marketplace and install an app called "Setting Profiles". The free Lite version will do the job.

2) Run Setting Profiles on your phone.

3) Create a new profile that turns off the speakerphone; call it "Speakerphone Off" or whatever. Hint: to create a profile that does this, clear all the checkboxes and all the green stars, then enable the green star for Speakerphone and make sure that checkbox is unchecked.

4) Create a new Rule with the following two conditions: Docking State=car dock and Active Call. Next, use Add Tweak to add a 5-second Activation Delay (this is required so the phone doesn't override the Speakerphone Off setting). Finally, choose Add Action, Activate Profile, Speakerphone Off.

Voila! All incoming and outgoing calls will now play through your car speakers via the Car Dock's audio out.

Note: If you have trouble on your phone, try tweaking the delay time. The 5 second delay works flawlessly on my Bionic; the original poster said he ended up using 3 seconds for his Atrix.

I hope this is helpful to other users.
