    Hi

    I came across an interesting problem today using Genius Maps (a BB10 app) with voice navigation and my new car.

    Other BlackBerry related voice/audio features work properly via Bluetooth ‎with my new car (2017 VW Golf) except for Genius Maps. It seems that when Genius Maps detects a Bluetooth connection it automatically routes voice navigation instructions to the Bluetooth device. For some reason the voice navigation isn't triggering the car audio system when it's giving directions.

    Is there a way to tell Genius Maps to ignore any Bluetooth devices?

    If I disable bluetooth connectivity on my Passport then the voice navigation works fine using the phone's built-in speaker, but that means I can't use the phone hands-free.

    My device info:
    Model: Passport | Blackberry 10.3.3.2163

    This is the first time I've paired my Passport with a car audio system so I don't know if this problem is specific to this car or if it's a common problem.

    Thanks
    Rob

    I found a work-around.
    1. Go into Settings -> Bluetooth
    2. Press and hold the device in question (my car in this case).
    3. Select Device Details.
    4. De-select Audio Streaming.

    Now the voice navigation uses the phone's speakers.

    The only drawback is that I can't stream music from my phone via bluetooth. No big deal, I'll just put my music on a USB stick.

    Theoretically you should be able to stream music by Bluetooth.
    Try!

    Not in this case. Audio Streaming and Media Player control are both controlled by the same "Media" switch. So they're either both enabled or both disabled.
