Music and Apple maps won’t play through car bluetooth

My music or apple maps audio has stopped playing through my car Bluetooth. I can talk on the phone through it but when I play music once connected by Bluetooth it just plays through the phone speaker. I have an IPhone 6 with ISO 12.5.5.

Bluethooth on Honda Jazz car Hi, I have been able to link my iPhone 11 on my Honda Jazz for the phone, which works good. But my music and apple maps won't work on the bluetooth. I have disconnected bluetooth and the maps and music will work on my iPhone but then I connect to bluetooth in the car and music and maps stops talking straight away. Is there a way I can get it to bluetooth the the Honda Jazz car please. Thank you.

Maps no voice commands My iPhone is definitely connected via bluetooth to my car speakers. I can still play music etc from my iPhone but the Voice navigation commands from the Maps app have suddenly stopped coming through the speakers. Any ideas to solve this please? Mackirdy

App Music insists on automatically playing while I'm using the maps app! I wanted to be able to hear the Apple Map spoken directions through my car speakers via bluetooth. But Apple Music INSISTED on playing in-between the directions making it impossible to have a conversation with someone else in the car. I searched the net for HOURS to find a solution. I chatted with Apple support and got no satisfaction. But I figured it out myself. The problem was not so much with my iPhone or Apple Music as it was with MY CAR! I have a 2015 Toyota Camry. I went into the CAR'S bluetooth settings and found two options. Connect as a phone and connect as a media player. I disabled "connect as a media player" and VOILA! - now I can hear the directions clear as day without Apple Music or Apple Podcasts automatically blasting back on. When I want the music back again I will just reconnect to my car as a "media player"
