When I have my N900 playing mp3s through the car stereo and then I connect my bluetooth headset, the music starts playing through the headset. This sucks because now I have to choose between music and my headset (and it's now illegal here to talk on a cellphone while driving if you're not using a headset).
I also discovered that every beep and click my phone makes is transmitted through the headset, and if I open the file browser or something it emits a loud electronic screech/squeal.

So now I turn to you good people and ask is there any workaround for this? Maybe some option I haven't found in the menus? The only sound I want coming from the headset is a ring and the voice of the caller. And I want the headset to be paired and connected AND be able to listen to music through my car stereo at the same time.
Any help would be very much appreciated.


And while I'm at it, rather than making another thread, two more questions:
1) When I'm watching a movie and I receive a call, the movie stops and it switches to phone mode. This is good. What's bad is that after I end the call, the movie starts from the beginning and I can't fast forward. Is there a way to end the call and then resume the movie where I left off? If not with the built in media player, is there a downloadable one that will do it?

2) I'm also looking for an interval timer app. I see lots of stopwatch and timer programs, but none of them mention anything about intervals. Are there any available?
(For those who don't know, an interval timer lets you set two timers and a number of repetitions. For example, if you set 1:00, 0:30, x3 it would count down 1 minute, beep, 30 seconds, beep, and repeat that sequence 3 times.)

So if anyone can help with any of this, I'll send you an e-cookie (and be your best friend)

I'm having the same problem with a Cardo Scala 700. Switching to Silent Mode while using a bluetooth headset seems to be a workaround.

But the call quality is too bad to use the headset anyways.
