Triggering Google Now with a Bluetooth headset - Moto G Accessories

I purchased a cheap Plantronics Bluetooth headset and pressing the voice search button did not trigger Google Now on the Moto G but it did on my Samsung Galaxy S4. I then used a Jawbone Era which triggered Google Now on both the S4 and the Moto G. Therefore, I'm in search for a cheap Bluetooth headset that triggers Google Now from the headset button on the Moto G. Does anyone have such a Bluetooth Headset?

google navigation voice over bluetooth

does anyone know if you can send the google navigation voice over BT to a BT speaker/car kit?
Yep, works for me - it interrupts any music you may be playing from the phone.
And how do you do it? I have a Nokia Bluetooth carkit which works fine for phone calls but I don't know how I can play music or have the navigation voice speaking through the car speakers?
@thewebface
What make of car kit do you have thewebface? I suspect a lot of the bluetooth features depend on the carkit.
thanks

It's an original Nokia CK-7W.
I've got a Motorola T505 bluetooth carkit / FM transmitter and Desire does work fine with it for both navigation and music. Out of the box configuration, no parameter setup needed.
The feature I liked most was that I could set up individual volume levels for each application running in parallel (i.e. max volume for calls, 2/3 for navigation, 1/3 for music) and then control the general volume from the car stereo.
I've got Bluetooth built in to my car, will this do the same thing?
Didn't even know you could do that! I bought Co-Pilot, is it possible with that too?
Would be great if it was as at the moment Im using Front Aux on the head unit which is cutting out all the music!

[Q] Problems with Bluetooth Headset

I have paired my Plantronics Marque Bluetooth headset with my Galaxy Nexus GSM model. The headset is paired and connected. I can say "answer" to answer an incoming call, but I can't hear anything through the BT headset. I think that the caller can hear me, but I'm not sure.
I also tried to use my Motorola H720 headset and had similar results. The Plantronics headset works fine with my HTC Sensation. Is there anything that I should do differently in order for the phone audio to work with the BT headset?
I think there is a problem with the bluetooth stack in the Galaxy Nexus, I've been encountering sync issues with my car which works fine with Nexus S and Nexus One.
Should I contact Google about this? Using BT is important while I drive. I have gotten used to not holding a phone up to my ear while I talk, so this could be a deal-breaker for me. I really like this phone and don't want to give it up, though.

[Q] Using Headset with MIC on VOIP app

I'm trying to use a headset with mic (I'm using the Apple headset for Iphone) on LG G Pad 8.3. When I play music, video or youtube, I can listen from my headset when plugged in. When I tried a VOIP app (google voice/grooveIP, Magicjack), I'm unable to route the sound to the headset or speak thru a headset mic. It is using the tablet speaker and mic. Although it works with a BT headset but not the wired headset plugged into the tablet earphone jack. I prefer to use wired headset than BT. Has anyone tried using a wired headset for VOIP apps? Thanks

voice call issue when paired with moto360 and car

Here are the details
Honda Odessey 2013
OnePlus One 64GB, running 11.0-XNPH33R and franco kernel r16
Android Wear 1.0.1.1379611
Google Play Service 5.0.89 (1307510-038)
Google Search 3.6.14.1337016.arm
Moto 360 4.4W.1/KGW42N
Without Moto 360/Android Wear, my phone will pair with the car just fine
I can listen to audio (streaming from Tunein Radio)
I can make voice call, and the call will go through car speaker
With Moto 360/Android Wear, my phone will pair with the car just fine
I can still listen to audio (streaming from Tunein Radio)
However, when I make a voice call on my phone, the audio does not go through car speaker
Phone is still connected via bluetooth
On the dialer, there's an icon for directing audio to headset, speaker, or bluetooth. bluetooth option is not dimmed, but I can't select it either
In short, when Moto 360 is paired to the phone, voice call audio only go through phone speaker
As a test, while I am still on the call, with audio going through phone speaker, I goto Android Wear, and disconnect Moto 360. 5 seconds later, voice call audio go through car speaker!
Does anyone have experience with moto 360 and bluetooth voice call over car speake?
I hope this is a bug, and not a feature!

I have the same exact issue but with a Bluetooth earpiece, the voice call audio will not go through my BT earpiece. I've missed many important calls due to this. It's almost as if the voice audio is being rerouted to the watch!
Same issue
I have the exact same issue. It is with my wife's car, a 2014 MAzda CX-5 and also occasionally in my Nissan LEAF. It bothers me.
Same here with my 2014 Genesis.
For those replying to the OP, you might want to list your phone too, not just your car, since it's more likely the phone that's the issue.
On my Nexus 5, I don't see this issue with my 2004 Acura, nor with my wife's 2014 Jeep. I've received and made calls in both vehicles just fine, although, I will say that I haven't had much luck using the 360 to place the call. It always seems to fail to find the right person, or simply fail to understand my command at all.
I'm having similar issues with my G3 and BMW M4.... If my phone and the watch are connected, the car will *usually* connect normallyl... but if I make a call, the call usually goes fine for a while but then all of a sudden the car will lose the connection randomly. This did not happen before I had the watch. If i disconnect the watch from the phone, the car phone picks right back up and works normally. There have also been a few times where the phone and the car have not automatically paired now that I have the watch. Any fixes? Is there a way to prioritize bluetooth to the car connection? I did notice that one time when my call got kicked off the carphone was when a message was coming through.

[Q] Bluetooth Headset?

I want to use a bluetooth headset to listen to music and watch movies with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013. Basically looking for the wireless headset capability. I have used bluetooth to connect my cell phone to my tablet, but I cannot connect a bluetooth headset to my tablet. I know bluetooth is working, but I just can't get the tablet to recognize any headset. So far I have tried Plantronics and Jabra. Anyone know of a headset that is proven to work?
That's strange....I've tried 4 different BT Headset+1 Portable BT Speaker & all working fine.
Motorola ROKR S605
Sony VH-310
Sony MW600
Sony Smart Wireless Headset MW1 Pro
Creative D100 Bluetooth Portable Speaker
What ROM are you using?
Make sure there is no BT streaming bug in your ROM.
