Default Navigation - override music?

Hi! On the GS 2013, when my phone is paired, and I get a call, it automatically pauses the music (or mutes in case of radio) to let me answer the phone.
But if I'm using the navigation (and music is playing), the navigation messages (upcoming turn etc) aren't very audible because the music continues playing at the same volume. Is there a way (an option) to make the music mute/pause (or at least lower the volume) to let the navigation message be heard? (I guess I could increase the volume for nav messages, but that seems to increase the volume for all voice command as well, so if I'm using voice command to make a call, the radio mutes, and the confirmation messages for voice command come thru' really loud!)

In addition to this, is there a way to cancel route guidance using a voice command or an easy remote touch button? Currently, if I want to cancel route guidance, I have to use remote touch to hit about 2-3 different buttons to cancel current route guidance. Taking my eyes off the road to do that while driving is a little awkward/unsafe.

One last question - while I'm not a smoker, I found it odd that the car doesn't include a cigarette lighter - does anyone know if that has been dropped from other cars too?

Default Navigation guidance vs phone audio vs music/radio audio

Related item: In the LS I had before the 2013 GS 350, the navigation guidance audio was muted during a phone call. In the 2013 GS 350 the navigation guidance audio is heard during a phone call. While the other party does not hear it, I do and it makes harder to hear the person on the phone. Is there a way to mute the navigation guidance audio while on a phone call (like it used to be on my previous Lexus car – an LS)?

For me the person I am talking to can hear the navigation. I would also like the ability to mute navigation
