Can the maps voice be routed via Bluetooth to my car's speakers?

Can the iPhone 5 Maps app voice instructions be routed via Bluetooth to my car - the way the telephone does?


Thanks.

As KiltedTim says, you most likely have to set your car stereo to select your iPhone as its music source.


For my Acura I have to select Aux/Bluetooth in order to have turn-by-turn directions come out my car speakers. This also means I have to have my iPhone as my music source. No car AM/FM radio, satellite radio, cd, etc…


I have found that Apple's maps and Waze can be told to use the iPhone speakers for turn-by-turn directions, but Google maps always seems to vector to Bluetooth if my hand free phone link is synced.
