Voice output to car bluetooth
Quote from Kaptagat on 02.04.2023, 23:53Hi Guido, I use Scenic both on my bike, also in my 9 year old Volvo XC60 which has Bluetooth connectivity but not Carplay etc.
So when I use it (on iPhone) in my car I set Scenic's Voice Output to "Force to device speaker" so that I can still use my car's hands-off phone connectivity via Bluetooth and also hear the voice prompts from Scenic via the phone speaker.
This works fine but I note there is also an option to set the Voice output "as Phone call (HFP)" - which does not seem to work for me.
I am assuming this option is supposed to work a bit like the Google Maps voice output option which I can set to "Play as Bluetooth phone call" so that the nav prompts from Google Maps come through Bluetooth to my car speaker system in parallel, so again the hands-off phone connectivity is also there.
Was this also the aim for that Scenic option, if so does it work and what should I do to make it work for me?

This also has a new audio engine. I recommend to wait until that’s available on the App Store. I suspect the new audio engine will resolve this problem. Or, if you want, I can add you as a beta tester. If that’s something you are interested in please send me a direct email. (There is an ‘email’ button at the bottom of the help page)

I will email you about being a Beta tester, should be interesting.
