Prevent applications sending audio to CK3100 car kit

Is it possible to prevent a given application sending its audio to a handsfree / headset??

I'm running Tom Tom 6 on N80 (v4.0623.0.42) without any issues,

...but when i'm using it in the car with my BlueTooth Parrot CK3100 car kit its sending its navigation instructions to the CK3100 rather than outputting over the phone speaker. This is causing every instruction to mutes my music and misse the first word or so (likely to be the kit doesnt mute fast enough for the first work to be sent out). I'd like to be able to prevent TomTom6 (or any application if possible) from sending audio via the car kit so i keep my music, and i get the full navigation instruction!!

The N80 is plenty loud enough to hear instructions over my music when i'm out and about so this is the only niggle preventing my perfect N80/Car relationship 😊

Any help greatly appreciated as Parrot have been unable to help in anyway so far...

Just wondered if you ever found a solution to this problem.

I have exactly the same problem and my only option at the moment is to mute the tomtom voice instructions...

no sorry mate, no one ever got back to me on here and i've been unable to find a solution else where.

As it stands i disabled 'auto connect' on bluetooth so it prompts me on the handset so if i'm going to be using tomtom i just don't connect to the parrot. other wise day to day i select yes to connect so use as normal handfree.

best solution i came up with for the time being.
