    Hello paddymac2,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    I understand you're not hearing Maps navigation prompts through your car stereo.  If this is correct, then I suggest that you enable the option "Allow HFP Prompts" as shown below.

     

    Allow HFP Prompts

    When supported by your car, hands-free profile (HFP) allows navigation prompts to play through your car speakers when iPhone is not selected as the audio source. With Allow HFP Prompts turned on, you can have your car stereo sourced to a non-Bluetooth input such as your car stereo or satellite but still receive turn-by-turn directions from your iPhone or iPad through your car stereo speakers.

    The HFP feature depends on your car stereo and your iPhone or iPad needs to have iOS 7. 1 or later. If you don't see the HFP setting when your iPhone is connected to your stereo, check with your stereo manufacturer.

    Use Maps and Bluetooth on your iPhone or iPad

     

    On the other hand, if your iPhone isn't being recognized at all by your car stereo, then follow the troubleshooting in the link below:

    Take care.
