This may be old news:

I was streaming music on my iPhone via Bluetooth that I was also using for turn by turn guidance (I do not have the Nav option on my c7) when a voice popped in over the music giving me turn by turn guidance. While there were no visual maps on the C7 head unit, but the audio guidance was a very suitable substitute!

I switched over to my iPod and XM radio and the guidance went away, so it seems to only work while connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth.

Yep...happens with my Galaxy S4 too.
In fact, it's doubtful that I'll order my C7Z with navigation.

One more reason I'm glad I saved $795 by not getting NAV that I would never use.

I have nav but tried this early on with iPhone 5S and it works great

Please educate me as I' am Illiterate when it comes to this. My phone is programmed to the car. How can I get the voice turn by turn through the car? I understand the part about not having navigation and not seeing the map( that much I know)
Thanks in advance.

Getting distracted and looking down at my phone while driving to see a map on my phone is much better than looking at the arrows on my HUD.

To each his own. I personally am a very visual person, I need to "see" where I'm going or I get loss.

When you are either streaming or on a call and connected via Bluetooth and using Google Maps (at least that is what I use), the voice nav directions will stream to the speakers in the car at a volume high enough to hear over the phone call or music.
Pretty neat.

This is great news as I did not get nav in my C7.

My DD is a 2010 GMC Sierra which I got nav in and NEVER use because Google Maps is way better IMHO.

Question...you are all talking about the audio portion on the nav coming through the radio, is the map still displayed on the phone when this is happening?

Thanks,

good to have these options. I will enjoy the Bluetooth connectivity for sure!

Thank you. Was unaware of that feature.

Yes, on my Note 3 it is.

Yes, the phone performs like normal with the map, but the voice prompts come over the car audio system. But you must have the phone "bluetooth" selected as your media source...it will not "break in" if you have XM or your iPod selected.

I was using the stock itunes/apple "map app"...so interesting that it works from multiple map apps. Makes me hopeful that some day a nav app might actually sink visually as well.

Big Lebowski

I am a very visual person as well (designer by trade) but the NAV was the only option this car didn't have BUT it had everything else I wanted, so I decided I could live with out...now I can even more.

You can press the mic icon on the home screen and use Siri as well for directions, if you are listening to streaming bluetooth the directions mute the music. Dont even have to touch the phone, just use siri.
