I just got a new car (Nissan Altima) with bluetooth. I have a 8125 with Molski's 2.26 Rom and MS VCommand 1.6

I got it to pair on the first shot. What I can't seem to do is to control Voice Command using the car button. Let me explain...

If I dial someone from contacts or using speed dial from the phone it uses the car system.

If I push the phone button on the steering wheel it prompts me to use the car system to dial a number.

If I push the button on the phone assigned to voice command it wants me to speak into the phone give instructions.

What I am trying to do is be able to push the button preferably on the steering wheel, but if no on the phone and be able to use the car system to tell the phone to do, as if the car were a headset.

Any ideas how to make this work? all the searches I found on the topic seemed to reference workarounds to get VC 1.5 to do bluetooth.

Thanks!

Not all car kits support routing audio through bluetooth outside of a call. BMW kits are notorious for this. They assume that you would only ever want to use the car system to initiate an interaction and so they don't route the audio to the device. This makes it impossible on some car kits to use Voice Command or any other speech recognition software that is running on a mobile device. Some car kits do support this, i.e. Parrot car kits.

Thanks for the leads. It is not a "kit" per se, but part of the tech package that came with the car. Any ideas on how I can determine what "kit" Nissan is using and whether there is a way to enable it to route the audio to the phone?
