I hate the nav system in my 2016 GT and haven't used it since about 2 months after I bought the car last August. It's the biggest disappointment because I really wanted a car with integrated GPS. As an alternative, I've been using Waze on my phone. That works okay, I guess. The Waze app is really nice, and has an awesome UI and some sweet features. But it's on my phone which means that Pandora wants to compete with it and demands "allow pandora?" every time. Also, mounting it to the vent every time I get in the car is putting some serious scratches in the vent's vanes.
There's nothing I can find as an in-dash replacement for the current unit (MY 2015 has a couple of options from Alibaba), so I've been looking at the portable Garmins. Almost all of them have bluetooth capabilities. Here's what I want though - I want bluetooth that will connect to the car's bluetooth to send the voice through the car's speakers like Waze does. Is that even possible?
I assume that the Bluetooth in the Garmin type units is primarily for hands-free phone use. One of the advantages of sending it through the car's speakers is that not only will it use the car's speakers so it is easier to hear, but it can automatically turn down the volume of other audio sources(?) temporarily. I have wondered if it would be able to figure out that the Garmin bluetooth audio should take priority over the Pandora bluetooth audio coming from my phone.
Which leads to another question - is it even possible to connect two bluetooth audio-sending devices to the car at once?
