Hearing phone calls through car speakers

[troglodyte]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I use an IBOLT dock. I listen to pod casts, audio apps, audio books, music through my car stereo with no problems what-so-ever. When I get a phone call... the audio never routes through the car speakers. It usually activates speaker phone on the phone itself, but turning that off just re-routes the audio through the handset's normal speaker that you hold up to your ear. Is there a way to make phonecalls route through my car speakers?

Thanks

Are you using the Aux In cable or an A2DP enabled stereo? If not your phone call audio can only route through the phones internal speakers. That's a Samsung thing, not iBolt.

Aha I am using the AUX in on my car stereo using the usb-style out of my phone (not from the mini audio jack) So only Bluetooth with A2DP will get me what I want. Thanks !

Either Bluetooth with A2DP, or with an audio cable direct from your S4 audio out jack to your radio Aux in.
