How To AUTOMATICALLY Redirect CarPlay Audio To A Different Output

If you're sick of your Apple iPhone automatically routing audio through your CarPlay device every time you connect to your car, but instead you want it to be sent to a different bluetooth connection, then this guide will show you how to automatically set this up using siri shortcuts which will act both as the trigger and the action for this process to work.

Hello Luke,I will have to try it out.what a great idea.

Thanks Steven, I'm glad you like it :)

For me when my iPhone is connected to my car's CarPlay the bluetooth cannot connect to a different device for audio. It's either using the CarPlay or the bluetooth audio device. Any fixes?

[@TorqueSteer]

That's a strange one. Normally you should be able to select the different audio output (as shown at 1:34 in the video). However, I'm wondering if it's a factory car play unit, maybe your car will disable it's normal bluetooth connection when carplay is detected.

@@TorqueSteer My car originally had only radio. I replaced it with an Andorid Head Unit that fits my car model. I use an external carplay dongle and still it won't connect to the cars bluetooth when I'm using carplay. It lets me connect to my airpods when the carplay is on and it allows me to pass the sound to my airpods without carplay even when the phone is still connected on the cars bluetooth. So there is a strange restriction between the car's bluetooth and carplay.

@@TorqueSteer to make it clear I have to ways to use CarPlay at the same car unit. One is with the integrated CarPlay “zilink” or something and the other is with an external toggle. For both it doesn’t allow me to connect to the car’s Bluetooth after the CarPlay is initiated. But while on CarPlay I can use the Bluetooth sound to listen to music on my AirPods for instance.

Wonder if Android Auto can do this

[@TorqueSteer]

That's a very good question. I'm not sure to be honest. I imagine there should be a work around, I mean, android is normally more customisable in this regard.

[@rajani829]

I tried the same. Works wonderfully for music but whenever I get a call, it shifts to Carplay again. Any fixes for that?

[@TorqueSteer]

Hmm, I'm not sure sorry. I'll have a think.

[@rajani829]

I made it work. Need to change settings from accessibility.

Nice, Cheers from Ukraine, Is it possible to also redirect incoming calls?

[@MrXMasterTrader]

This doesn't work for Siri and Naviagtion. For Honda's handfreelink, this is automatic for audio playback in CarPlay. HOWEVER, you can re-direct the Siri and Navigation sound. That's bummer. Anyone has a solution?

[@TorqueSteer]

That’s a shame. I’d like to know too.
