Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - iOS 6 Tricks Bose to think it's a phone call

I have a 370z 40th Ann. touring/sport, no Navi. So the car has bluetooth for phone calls and does not support bluetooth streaming.

I have noticed that whenever I use Siri in the car or some type of voice recognition (to dictate a text, for example) that the radio mutes, of course so the phone/radio can hear my voice. Great feature, and the Bose displays "in call 1 second...2 second...etc." So essentially the iPhone 5 tricks the stereo into thinking it's a phone call in order to mute the stereo.

The other day I noticed the new Google Maps does the exact same thing! When Maps speaks the next steps for directions, again the Bose enters phone call mode and I can hear Maps speak over the car's speakers.

**So, my question is, how can we make the music app in iOS6 also trick the stereo into thinking it's a phone call so so bluetooth music streaming will work?**

Brainstorm away, thanks.
