Play sound to phone speaker?

This appears to be the only one to change so I will give it a try, thank you very much!

 

Google Maps has a similar option called "Play voice over bluetooth". Turning it off should also make it play over the phone speaker instead of connecting the phone as a media device.

 

100% certain. When a CALL comes in sure BT mutes the audio and rings the phone. But all the car's system knows when the phone is playing navigation directions is that "sounds are coming from the phone" it doesn't know if they're music or nav directions. If the car is not in a mode where its playing audio through the system, you will not here BT alerts, nor will you hear navigation directions played over Bluetooth.

You can use the "play as a bluetooth phone" option within Waze but you will continually get calls from yourself you have to answer to hear the directions. Best to just let them play from the phone

SW17LS........When I select my BT tab in the cars audio system, no audio (music playing) phone connected to vehicle then my turn by turn instructions (Google Maps) plays. What I am referring to is when I switch from BT source to FM AM etc.... Google maps no longer comes on cars speaker.
Am I missing something?

 

Advanced class on this is to set the - Alerts and Reports/Speedometer/Show Speed Limit when exceeding xx MPH above.
Now you will get a trill when the limit drops and you missed the sign. Be sure to allow enough headroom to minimize spurious warnings.

 

Correct, that's operating as designed. BT Audio only plays through the car's speakers when the audio system is in BT Source mode. The car doesnt differentiate between music and verbal turn directions from a phone, its all "BT Audio" as far as the car is concerned.

 

SW17LS, Thank you for taking the time to educate me on the workings of the system.

 

Anytime! Happy to do it
