How can I disable a2dp, bluetooth media playback etc. in Mavericks on MacBook Air.

These tips like this:

http://musings.silvertooth.us/category/macfixes/

end up giving :

defaults read com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent
Domain com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent does not exist

I was thinking I might be able to turn off a2dp using that line but not working.

Here is the reason why I need this:

I connect my bluetooth headset with multipoint to my iPhone
I connect my macbook to the headset and then it disconnects
it tries to reconnect over and over but then I turn off bluetooth

REVERSE

I connect my bluetooth headset with multipoint to my MacBook
I connect my iPhone to the headset and then it connects, but

The iPhone will not play music thru the headset only the MacBook
it's like the a2dp streaming is pulsing keeping the handshaking going.

Cause the iPhone cannot invoke the music to play via a2dp only the MacBook.

What I want to do is, connect the MacBook to headset then disable the a2dp
then connect iPhone to headset. This should work.

or REVERSE (with prep)

Connect MacBook to Headset, disable a2dp.
disconnect MacBook
Connect iPhone to Headset
Connect MacBook to Headset

if I can just turn off a2dp on the MacBook I should be able to go.

The only other option would be find an app for iPhone that with force a2dp to get back into action while connect, BECAUSE I can make phone calls with the headset and siri etc when both are connected. Just can't get a2dp to work with iPhone while both are connected?

Any clues?? or help?? or Apps?

Thanks

oh p.s. I googled for 2 hours...
