Hey all!

The subject here is an app called iMoto which allows you to use two iDevices as an inexpensive Bluetooth intercom on a motorcycle. It pairs the two devices using Bluetooth, and then you are supposed to use the white headset tucked inside your helmet as the audio source.

My first assumption was that what I'm asking could not be done, thinking "it'll only pair one device at a time". But that's not true. If I first connect my headset, and then connect the two iDevices using iMoto, I can still use my Bluetooth headsets buttons to engage voice control, change my iPhones volume, or answer a call. Ergo, both devices are connected, right?

So here's the thing, it uses the headset jack, or if that's not plugged in, the integrated mic and speaker. Is there a way, jailbreak or otherwise, to force an app to use the Bluetooth audio as it's audio source? Meaning I could use my Bluetooth headset instead of the inline mic headset that comes with the phone? Again, they do both connect, because while using the iMoto app, I can push the button on the side of the headset to enter voice control, or the rocker to change the volume, etc.
