PS I think you're misreading somewhere - I don't want the car radio to turn off and flip automatically to Bluetooth. I just want the car radio to continue playing the radio while my phone speakers play the navigation, without having to go in and manually toggle Bluetooth off on my phone every time.

This is the part I don't understand - why, when the car is set to radio, would it be even trying to pair to my phone via Bluetooth? Why doesn't switching the car to radio mode automatically turn off Bluetooth? This is what I would have expected. I do often listen to Spotify through car...

So ... You could have just answered my initial question with "that's how it's designed to work."

The app cache - have had to do that a few times for various issues. But I really don't think it's a Google maps issue as it seems to be a general issue with the audio output. But what do you mean it's not surprising that all sounds are trying to play through the car stereo? The car is set to FM...

Correct, no other Bluetooth devices, and the phone has been restarted & cache cleared many times and it's behaved like this consistently ever since I got the phone over a year ago. PS It's not just Google Maps - it's anything on my phone that plays sound through the speakers,except for phone...

Sorry, missed this response. Correct, it is not set to mute. If I turn off Bluetooth I immediately start getting navigation cues from my phone's speakers, the way I want it to work.

Yep, volume is all set normally and if I adjust the volume while it's navigating it shows the media slider for the Bluetooth connection.

No, the scenario is - Phone has Bluetooth turned on and has paired with the car in the past, and is set to auto connect to car Bluetooth for media only (I listen to Spotify sometimes). Google maps has "Play voice over Bluetooth" turned off. Car audio is set to FM radio. I want the Google...

P.S. The only time I ever want any phone audio to go through speakers is if I'm listening to music. I hate hearing phone calls, map directions etc through the speakers and I never connect for calls, only for media. If there's anything else I should set to make sure that's working correctly...

Hi, thanks for answering! I'm the OP. This is what I want, and this is how it's already set, but it doesn't work - the directions are silent if Bluetooth is turned on. As soon as I turn Bluetooth off on my phone, I start hearing the audio directions, so it's definitely the Bluetooth connection...

I have an Asus Zenfone 8 mini (not flip) running the latest version of Android, whatever that is. Service through Google Fi. Here's my issue - If I'm connected to my car or other audio system with Bluetooth, even if the car audio is on radio, my phone audio doesn't work - it's like it's trying...
