That's great to hear I'll be getting my 360 on the 17th

Works decently, but I've had the BT headset disconnect randomly with the 360 connected. Over a year and my BT headset never disconnected, it's a Bluebuds X. Also had some issues with no voice input into my mono BT headset with the 360 connected, almost like the BT voice input was rerouted somehow to the 360. Seems to be buggy .

I've had my plantronics voyager legend sound very digitized to the point it's unusable lately. I'm multipoint paired to my HTC one max and a blackberry q10. Haven't had this problem before the moto 360.

I had my Moto 360 connected to my phone and my wireless beats with no problems. Works great

I just go my 360 yesterday and was wondering the same as op. I literally use my phone in calls about 4 to 5 hours a day. I actually use a blue parrot xt plus and they can't be beat as far as call quality on both ends. Now for looks, that's a different story. Can you say "May I take your order" they look like a headset from a drive thru. Anyway thanks for all the comments.

Yes you can, also there are about two apps enabling volume on the market for your player.

Works well, but I've heard some people complain of battery drain on moto 360 when you have another BT device connected. I don't think I've encountered that problem though.

I guess it depends on what phone and BT you are using.
I have moto 360 with LG G3 and when I workout I pair it with Jabra sport to listen to play music. Music is slow, unresponsive at first, choppy and from time to time play music fc's. Could be play music, BT, G3 or M360 and BT both connected to G3.
Playing music just through phone works with just M360 and works ok with just BT connected to G3. Next time going to try it with Gnote 3 and see if that works any better.

Works just fine with my Bluetooth car stereo as well.

I have a pair of LG-TONE HBS-730 earphones and also a FM transmitter in my car. Last night and this morning I had a similar problem as yours, and I had to restart the phone so I could hear music and calls through the bluetooth devices. A couple of hours ago, I tried again and everything worked very well, BUT after disconnecting them, the phone went like it was on Silent Mode. No sound at all, no ringtone, no music, even the alarm didn't emit any sound, so I had to restart the phone and sound got back to normal. At this moment I am doing some tests connecting and disconnecting the BT earphones, but the problem is gone, so I don't know what's going on.

On my s3 it paired automatically! on the s4 i had to do this.....
With the Power off, press the CALL button and move the power switch to the ‘ON’ side at the same time for 4 seconds to manually place the headset in pairing mode
I hope this helps!
Use BT all the time on my gs2 ill try this out tomorrow and see if there is anything out of the ordinary.
Needing to pair the bt device to the phone is very normal for the very first use - especially if its been paired with another device in its history. Ive found bt devices (headsets like the jabara bt3030/street2) often cant really have more than 1 or two pairs total or they dont connect / dont stay connected properly.
Also the samsung bt stack has had lots of issues with BT devices over the galaxy generations. hopefully its not back.
I've used a Moto S10 & S11 HD stereo BT and 2 different Jawbones without issue.

Bluetooth is somewhat broken.....

Connects to car automatically only with PHONE mode and have to connect MEDIA manually through settings every single time

I have to unpair and repair my Bluetooth headset every single time I use it. (phone audio only). Looks like Samsung really borked up BT.
Thinking about upgrading to MDL this weekend to see if that fixes it.
i dont know about bluetooth with car, but i listen to my bluetooth headphones every day at work for hours and i have had no probs whatsoever with my bluetooth. it paired really easy like too easy and that was it.
I guess thanks for the fact that at least it works manually so in my case its a 100% software issue.
I'm having no issues with phone or media when hooked up to my car.

I have the same problem with my Denon aftermarket head unit.
My Motorola BT headset pairs ok, but the quality of the audio is so bad to my callers I can't use it. On my S3 it sounded fine. I had to switch to a different headset that's giant and stupid.

2011 Hyundai Sonata
have a jabra headset and its paired excellently 100% of the time
Had minor issues (device based) when it was "paired" to 2 devices.
Use Bluetooth Auto Connect from play store. I was having the same problem except mine connected on to media instead of phone. That app fixed it right up.
Mine will drop connection intermittently to my VW RNS-315 head unit and also drop connection to my Jawbone Icon HD. When it drops the Jawbone I often see a message on the screen that says Bluetooth Sharing has crashed. Not sure if this is as a result of the rooting process or if it's a glitch in the latest firmware. Hoping Samsung will fix and T-Mo will release patch soon.
Have yet to have an issue here with my S4 and my JVC Arsenel (Dont remember which model #, was one of the higher single DIN units a year ago though), use it daily and it connects on its own without issue / hassel both phone and media
I experience the same phone only problem with my Ford Sync system, I have to manually check Media audio, but it pairs both the first tube after unpairing. I'll try the Play Store app and report back today. I will say is nice to see voice control over bluetooth has been fixed in Jelly Bean.
UPDATE: Bluetooth Auto Connect (The first one listed in a Play Store search by Jakub Klos) works flawlessly to connect Phone and Media audio. Thanks @Sym_Link!
No problems with bluetooth here, my Pioneer radio in my Grand Marquis, both audio and phone sync flawlessly. However, my Sony unit in the Saturn, will sync the phone no problem, but I still have to manually check the box to sync with audio.
My experience w/ BT audio has been variable. I have an aftermarket head unit installed on a '05 Acura RSX (JVC-NSX1 - http://www.crutchfield.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/p_105NSX1/JVC-KW-NSX1.html).
Note: my headunit also utilizes MirrorLink...which is just flippin' awesome.
BT Media audio seems to be very app dependent. I use Grooveshark and Play Music for my day to day listening, and I find that my Grooveshark will auto-play when BT Connects but if I'm going from a fresh power cycle of my automobile to Google Play I have to start the app on my phone prior to accessing the in-dash controls on my head unit.
Other times I can just select in dash controls and it will play Play Music.
Ironically, since the iOS 6.0 update plugging in the GF's iPhone no longer plays audio (freaking Apple). So if she wants to stream media it's only available over BT. Ah, progress!

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 and car

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
If my phone (moto x) is paired with the watch in the car will I be able to pair the phone with the car so I can still use hands free calling over bluetooth also?
Should be able to. Works with my LG G3

Confirmed working on Galaxy S4.
Also, while playing music through bluetooth to the car stereo, the watch acts as a remote (play/pause/skip/prev). With the official Google Music app at least.

Motorola! You have a serious Bluetooth issue with the Moto 360! Please fix!

If anyone has another Bluetooth device connected while using the moto 360, it causes the other Bluetooth device device to act very odd. My example was tested on 3 phones and 2 different cars and that while my phone is connected to the moto 360 and cars Bluetooth, the sound is all choppy and horrible from my phone. (not Bluetooth audio from my car) You can't even get directions from Google maps or Here because the moto 360 causes the volume from the phone to become all choppy. Even when the phone rings the volumes are choppy from the phone. Once I unpair my moto 360 everything is back to normal. Looks like others are having odd behavior as well when connecting Bluetooth speakers and using the moto 360 at the same time but I have not tested Bluetooth speakers.
Please help Motorola cause this watch is awesome
Maybe you shall email their support group to give the issue report. I plan to get moto hint.in furture but this issue may stop me.
That's a Bluetooth/Bluetooth Low Energy problem. I had the same issue ever since I started using a fitbit with my LG G2, which syncs via BT LE. The 360 compounded it. I recall someone suspected it had to do with the ble implementation in the android bt stack, but I don't recall the specifics
Using the 360, fitbit and uconnect car bluetooth all day yesterday with no issues.
Google play music streaming.
CBS streaming radio
On device music.
No issues.
Try doing that again but using Google now or Google maps and report back
Using LG G flex, Motorola DECK BT speaker and moto360 and wasn't having any audio issues either. Played music for hours at work.

Every morning I drive to work with my Nexus 5 connected to three devices and stream music without issue.
Audi BT for Phone
Griffin BlueTrip for BT Audio
Moto 360
On the way home, I stream MLB games (well, up until last week). I check traffic via Google Maps to see the fastest route and I never lose Audio.
In following these threads, there have been a few other things to keep an eye on:
The #1 culprit seems to be custom ROMS and Kernels.
Others have mentioned leaving wifi on. Android tries to connect to open wifi networks, even while driving, and that can cut out signal.
Not one issue with Bluetooth on my end,and I'm paired to my LG tone all day everyday.
S4, cm11, play audio through speakers w/o issue. Most likely an issue with phone/ROM/kernel/car system rather than the 360. I've had three different 360s so far (various RMAs) all work/worked fine with car Bluetooth audio.
No issues here with BT connectivity. I have M360 connected to my phone, and my phone connected to my car BT audio.
Stream music via Amazon Prime Music app, audio came out great
Navigate using Google maps and the direction was spoken via car audio clearly while M360 does prompt and vibrate for direction as well.
I have no issues. Nexus 5 connected to my Moto360 and factory head unit (2011 Camaro). I stream Pandora, Google Play, and have spoken notifications.
I had my 360 for 3 weeks every day I connect my HTC m8 to my car radio via blue tooth. At work I connect to Bluetooth headphones and listen to music for about 4 hours a day. I have not had a single issue like the one you describe.

I have the issue, but not playing music. Mine is with phone calls. This is with the watch paired to a stock LG G3. The phone calls start out okay but a minute or two in it gets all garbled on both ends.
No problems here with my Sprint note 3. Actually navigated a few days ago with maps and it was fine
Can't Bluetooth-tether my tablet to my phone while the watch is connected. Also, if I walk out of Bluetooth range of my phone, the watch either doesn't reconnect when I come back in range, or takes a very long time to do so.
Same issue..
I do have the same type of issue with intermittent audio over bluetooth while in my car. It's find if my moto 360 is turned off, but when it turns on it causes issues. I had the problem on the old Moto X and the newest Moto X. I found other threads reporting the same issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/help/bluetooth-interference-t2894972
I connect to my cars bt to and from work every day and have not experienced any issues. I'm using a stock 2013 Moto X 4.4.4 no root/mods.
