If your Bluetooth headset supports A2DP then yes. I do this quite often.

I noticed the music pauses occasionally... might just be mine

[Q] Play music in the car

I know you can answer phone calls if your phone is synced with the car through blue tooth.
How about playing music with Pandora? Can you listen through car speakers?
Sorry I don't have a car with bluetooth built in so I can't test it myself.
Thanks.

idk pandora exactly but music stored on my phone plays thru bt
basically any "sounds" will come through car speaker when connected. But the bt on the car has to support it. Mine plays everything from clicks, pandora, notification, music, porn.

Is Bluetooth stereo audio streaming same quality as coming out of head phones?

[Q] Possible to route audio through A2DP and the phone's speaker simultaneously?

The subject says it all. Can I route audio through Bluetooth A2DP and the phone's speaker simultaneously? I want to keep my phone connected to my car's audio system via Bluetooth voice and A2DP. But sometimes I want to switch to XM Radio or other sources. When I do that of course, I lose audio prompts from Google Navigation.
Is this possible?

I'm looking for the same thing. I can get audio through Bluetooth and have notifications go to speaker at the same time, but I can't get other media to go to speaker at the same time.
I would also be satisfied with a widget that lets me toggle the A2DP status of the Bluetooth connection on and off. It would not be the end of the world if I needed to toggle the A2DP off when I switch to another radio source and toggle back on when I go back to Bluetooth as the source in the car.

If you ask me I'd say it's possible.Whenever my phone is connected to my stereo through A2DP, the music is played through loudspeakers only by default. However, when there's an incoming call and my ringtone is being played I can hear it through loudspeakers AND the phone speaker, which creates a pretty cool surround effect. I'd really love to make my music player interact with all the speakers like this all the time. I took my chance installing various apps like SoundAbout to help me figure it out, all to no avail. Any ideas?

[Q] Bluetooth handsfree and using music player when driving

So should I be hearing music through my handsfree?
I used my phone for GPS for the first time and I love hearing Nav notifications through my handsfree set. What I couldn't figure out is how to keep using my handsfree set without music playing through it. Nothing would play through the AUX port of my car stereo unless I turned off my handsfree.
I want to be able to hear music through the car stereo and notifications / calls through the headset - is that possible?

I don't think it's possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think your phone manages both at the same time. You could have them go through the same one tough. That's what I personally do, both on bluetooth audio system (car).
How did you manage to get it to play on both? For me it seems like it has to be one or the other

Both on bluetooth? I simply have both running at the same time.
My issue was that it seemed like I can only do one or the other. I saw in the settings for my voyager legend that you can make calls through headset but have music still play through car stereo
That works

Not sure I completely understood what you're trying to do, so this may not be what you're wanting.
But if you go to your Bluetooth pairings on the phone and then go to the settings for your Car Stereo Bluetooth pairing, there is an option for either Call Audio or Music Audio. You can de-select the Music Audio so that only Call Audio plays through Bluetooth to the Car Stereo.
All I want is to be able to still hear navigation notifications in my headset while still be able to hear music through car stereo. That doesn't seem possible. I either hear it....
1) All in my headset (phone calls, music and notifications) or car stereo
2) Phone calls in headset (and navigation notifications if I'm on the phone) with music and notifications in car stereo
But I want it to be phone calls plus all notifications in headset regardless if I'm using the phone and music in car stereo

I went ahead and did a little search. Android seems to do it on it's on so I'm not sure why you can't connect to both and hear what you want in both.
I personally don't connect to 2 devices at the same time but I do get/hear everything in my car audio system (navigation, music, calls, notifications) and that can all be at the same time. The music sound will just lower when navigation girl speaks and when a notification comes in.
Now I dunno if you searched for this but I did find a app that might help (can't try it myself as I only connect to one): Smart Bluetooth Widget Free. There's also a paid version.
And like the other guy mentioned, you can select in the bluetooth options what you want to be streamed through it.

Any way to sync bluetooth to car stereo?

I'll never use it as a music player, that's just way too impractical (battery life), however I was thinking it'd be great if it could be synced with a car stereo with bluetooth so that while using the GPS feature, we could actually hear the voice directions.
Probably a long shot...

As long as your phone is hooked up to the Bluetooth in your car, you will be able to hear the navigation directions.
You don't even have to pull the phone out of your pocket, and the watch will still vibrate and show the turns
No way, really?! So I can get directions by speaking "ok, google" to my 360, and as long as my phone is synced to my car stereo, I'll be able to hear navigation directions? That's really cool!
Thanks

Yeah, remember your phone is doing all the work, your watch is just telling it what to do and showing the notifications, so it will run the program on your phone with the screen off...
You can also tell it to play a particular song on the phone and it will play through the speakers. And when you say "OK Google", it mutes the sound so it can hear you talk...

Question Is it possible to listen Spotify without BT device?

It doesn't seem so...
You can select and play music from the watch but it requires another device to send the audio to such as a BT Speaker or your phone.
When you select your watch as the playback device it asks which Paired Device to send it to.
Considering how small the speaker in the watch is it kind of makes sense to require a BT or WiFi Speaker.
