Is it possible to use Bluetooth to connect a DAP to my phone for music passthrough to my head unit (more details in the post and comments, if needed)

Sorry for the shitty diagram but at least it isn't AI shitty and is human shitty instead.

Anyways, I have a sort of dilemma I am trying to solve. It isn't much of a problem, but it would be something that will help me out with my enjoyment.

So, I got a 2023 Kia Stinger with the regular stock 10" head unit and everything and use my Nothing Phone 2 with Nothing OS 4.0 as my phone for AA. I use the head unit quite a bit when I am driving normally and using Google Maps and Retro Music for playing my local collection of music on my phone since I don't stream music. It all works fine and dandy during my normal time and I am able to have the music turn down in order to hear Google's voice navigation for accessibility purposes. Calls also work just fine as well.

The issue I am running into mostly is for Uber, which doesn't play nice when I have music playing and also use the in-app voice navigation on there (I am aware I could switch to Waze or Google Maps but I don't like how clunky the process is to switch between both apps so I stick with the stock Google maps). The navigation voice gets turned down as well as the music when I have both going on during trips, so it is barely audible over the music that is just under it. So most of the time I just drive in with just the voice navigation, when I would like to share a bit of my music taste so drives aren't as boring or I don't have much of a conversation with the riders in order to be a more open and friendly person.

I have adjusted the Uber in-app navigation voice to be at the max allowed for it. Doesn't change too much there.

I tried looking for an app without needing root access or shizuku fuckery that would allow me to put in a setting where it would turn down the music app specifically whenever the Uber app is putting out navigation sounds. Doesn't seem to be a thing.

I have tried connecting my DAP to my car and have that be for music over Bluetooth and my phone through Android Auto. DAP doesn't want to connect to that specifically and would possibly be something that affects my ability to answer calls and such like that through my car. Still fiddling with the settings here in order to see what works.

My head unit doesn't have an extra USB port in order to throw my music collection onto a flash drive and use the USB audio player settings on it, so I only have one to work with.

My car also doesn't have an AUX port, though I wouldn't be posting here if it did.

My car does seem to split navigation and music audio channels and will turn down the music channel in order for navigation audio to pass through without issue and have the music down low behind it until the voice prompt is done.

I have thought about using my DAP to play music from there to my phone, over Bluetooth, and be able to control it from there with a different app that could monitor the sounds from the phone and the DAP so it gives the phone a higher priority if that has to make a sound in some way. If that exists.

Overall, I have been decently fine without the music during my Uber drives, but honestly it would be something nice to have on at a low volume so I'm not really just staring at the road and listening to road noises from my car. If I have anymore details to add, I'll put them in a comment below or answer questions

▲ 2 r/uberdrivers

So I just got finished with my day and want to go over this. It has probably been gone over many times before, but this hit me sideways and the bit of 'tism got me out of it luckily as it was the first ride of the night.

Anyways, starts out as a normal Uber drive for me. As I am driving to the location, which was on the middle of the highway, I get a message from the "rider" named India. All that message said was "📞". I thought to myself "yeah I got one for Uber what's up?" and thought it was a bit strange, so my scam meter was ticking a bit on it, but I went on to the location anyways. But didn't think about it until I realized the guidance wasn't taking me to the spot on the highway, but a side road that runs next to the highway. Get to around that spot that the guidances was taking me to instead of the actual spot. I see a random dark blue Nissan in the same area with their lights off but they were likely on accessory mode or lights off.

Against the laws of that particular road I was on and in favor of my gut feeling, I did a three point turn to get the fuck out of there because not only was it the dead of night at 1 AM (my usual driving time when I start), it was also on a forested road with no lights except for mine and is kind of sketchy as fuck to me in an area like that (I prefer it at least be around farm lands at the dead of night). No one else was on that road and that isn't a road typically travelled. I get out to a well lit spot to call. As always, I call on data to get more info from the "rider". Call goes through and they say they are "Uber support" and wanted to confirm some details to make sure I wasn't fraudulent and that I was who I was and driving my own car before giving me $200 dollars in credit for confirming. They asked me to also cancel the ride as well. I went to cancel it while during the call and it had just ended the trip and call right there. After that, I panicked a little before asking Google about a fake location scam done to Uber drivers. It gave me results that it seems to be a thing that also happens to drivers as well.

Luckily out of all this, I didn't give them any account info, any OTP keys, or anything like that that could compromise my account. Anyways, the rider was named India. So if Uber hasn't done anything to their account after I had reported them, just double check your trips for someone that has that name and make sure the location isn't somewhere that is outrageous to reach.

What I would like to know most out of all this, are they using regular geospoofing in order to call for an Uber in a particular location from far away, or is it the case of someone local that is close to the spot potentially doing that? There was no location dot showing for them at the area, so I wasn't sure if it was some feature they implemented on the rider side without my knowledge, but have encountered similar situations before (rider ordered for one on Wifi and didn't have a data + phone + text plan and only had a phone + text plan). And also the Nissan being in that particular side road in the dark close enough to that spot to move the location dot a close distance away to somewhere like there from the spot they were at was also kind of sus to me.

Hello everyone. Currently I'm on a search for a higher quality version of Unravel by TK from 凛として時雨 and so far, I am coming up dry with some further leads for a higher quality release of it, which may be a potential indicator that there isn't one. But I still search on regardless.

So far what I have found for releases is through Ototoy (link at the bottom). This version is the original 2014 release of it and it sounds very compressed and dated, even compared to other soundtracks I have that share the same bitrate, formatting, and such factors, but it also has about the same quality as the one used for the OP from what I can hear (even though it is slightly modified from the original to fit). I was snooping around TK from 凛として時雨's Ototoy page for another release of it later on, but most of the ones I see are either remixes, instrumental versions, piano versions, acoustic versions, covers, and such like that. But no higher quality of the original one on there. I haven't checked other outlets yet, since I usually bounce around Bandcamp and Ototoy for my music so I can have the high quality files for my collection through legitimate means (not saying I'm not a man of sailing the high seas, but I try to go legit whenever possible and I can easily afford it) and avoid places like iTunes, Amazon, and others that don't have FLAC at a minimum or WAV options available.

Can't really check physical releases either, since it would be way out of my budget and currently, I don't have access to a mailbox that I can get it as soon as possible to buy and may need to resell if it isn't the one. And that would be very expensive if I have to get it from Japan directly (imports and tariffs be damned).

If anyone has any leads on where I can find a higher quality version of the file, please let me know. Thank you.
