I searched outside of this forum and watched YouTube videos to no avail.
Is there a way when an Android phone is connected to Sync 3 via Bluetooth to enable audio alerts for an App that cannot be added to the Launcher in Android Auto?
I am a firefighter and EDispatches is a common app we use to receive alerts for calls for service. When I do not have the phone plugged in via USB, the alerts do not play over Sync, and I cannot find a setting on my Google Pixel 5 to have the alert play over the phone speaker. I have checked all the settings in my phone (Bluetooth, alerts, etc) and in Sync.
When I plug the phone in via the USB, the alerts will play over whatever media (FM, Music, etc) that is playing. But I don't usually plug my phone into the USB for short drives around town and was wondering if I am missing something or if there is no way around this issue other than plugging in the phone to the USB.
This was not an issue in my 2016 Audi. If I recall correctly, there was a setting in the car interface to allow alerts to play via the phone.
Thanks.
EDIT- When I went back and checked, the audio alerts from the Pixel 5 do not play over (FM, Music, etc) that is playing. Like the wireless connection, the Pixel 5 has to be selected. As noted below, my Audi allowed a Bluetooth connection to the phone only, and disable media from playing through Bluetooth.
