Google Now / Maps Navigation bluetooth quirk

When I use Google Now or Maps Navigation on my Nexus 5, I don't get the voice prompts through Bluetooth or the phone speaker unless I'm already streaming audio from the phone (in which case I get the prompts through the car speakers).

Also, if I turn on the Bluetooth headset option in Google Now ("records audio through Bluetooth headset if available"), it doesn't pick up anything when I try talking to it.

Does everyone else's Bluetooth/phone behave this way? Any workaround?

I have an early-2012 production 2013 X3.

Have you updated your bluetooth software in the car?

I've applied the UPD1006.bin from www.bmw.com/update, that was quite a while ago and it doesn't seem like there's anything more recent.

Is there something else to update?

It could be just the phone since each android phone somehow acts differently with different BMWs
