Apple Car Play + Sirius Xm radio

My car doesn’t have sinus xm factory installed. I can get Sirius xm radio as an app on my iPhone. My question is can I use the Sirius xm app to play music and also use my maps for navigation on car play at the same time? I’m looking to take a cross country trip and will need my maps running thru Apple car play but would like to listen to Sirius xm on my iPhone app.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Does this cost in any way? I have a new car. I may want to use apple car play, but I do not want the Sirius app. Will it work without Sirius and what are the costs?

Using music/podcast apps while using navigation (google/apps maps) I do not have a car with an apple carplay compatibility. But I can connect via Bluetooth. The car stereo doesnt have a touch screen. Google maps on an android phone allows to use maps , and while using them gives options to use music apps/podcast apps (e.g, spotify). You can use "android auto" without connecting to a car. just allows simple bluetooth connectivity. What can an iphone do in this case ? Even the Apple store person wasnt really sure. is there some driving mode that allows use of navigation and easily use spotify/music apps in parallel ? This is key feature for me to switch to a latest iphone.

I actually have Sirius in my car but I tried using the app with Apple Maps and it worked. YMMV.
