Advance Package Navigation Handsfree

I have a Acura RDX 2017 with Advance Package. Is it possible to listen to the turn-by-turn instructions from my phone's GPS through the car's speakers without choosing audio source "bluetooth"? My phone is succesfully paired with the system. If I choose audio source as "bluetooth" then I cannot listen to the radio at the same time.
Appreciate if anyone has a solution. Thanks.

Not sure which phone or maps app you're using, but try turning your source to "Radio" -- since your phone's already paired, the nav app should send voice to your radio via Bluetooth the same way it would if you received a call while listening to the radio.
If you're still not hearing the navigation, you might need to check your nav app to make sure it's set up to send its voice to your audio. If you're using Google Maps, try this:
Go to Settings>Navigation Settings in Google Maps and make sure that "Play as Bluetooth phone call" is turned ON, and "Play voice over Bluetooth" is turned ON (if that doesn't work, try reversing these two).MODERATOR
