Hello,

I usually connect my iPhone 6 to my car's integrated Bluetooth handsfree system, and also to another Bluetooth device simultaneously for A2DP audio streaming because my car's system only supports Handsfree. The problem is that my A2DP device also supports the Handsfree profile (like my car's integrated system), and when I initiate a phone call from the car's system, the audio is sometimes routed through the audio streaming device instead of the car. I then have to manually change the audio source in the phone's menu to the car. This happens with multiple iOS versions (7.x and 8.x) and multiple iPhone models (my previous 5 and my current 6). After I make the manual selection, the phone remembers it until the next time I pair these devices (i.e. the next time I get into my car), then I have to do it again.

Is there any way to define a default Bluetooth device to use for phone calls? Alternatively, is there any way to force the phone to only connect the A2DP profile on my audio streaming device and ignore the Handsfree profile?

Thanks
