Default Waze or Google Maps Audio Integration with Google Maps or Waz - No Navigation NX 2016

Hi everyone, I just bought my first Lexus, and I don't think I'll ever buy another type of car. It's so awesome!

My question: I got a great deal on a 2016 NX200t *without* a navigation system. Is there a way for me to at least hear the audio from my iPhone while using Google Maps or Waze through the sound system of the car? I don't need the visual on the screen. (Sorry if this is a simpleton's question. I am not a tech expert.)

I have a non-navi too. The audio for Google maps/Waze comes through the BT-Audio connection for the media selection. So if you use Spotify/Apple Music/Pandora while driving and you have the Maps App running, it will have the turn by turn directions.

You'l have to select Bluetooth as the media source on the car, and ensure that the appropriate channels are active in bt settings on your phone. On my android phone there are two options 1) phone audio and 2) phone and media audio. I'll have to select 2).

We have nav so yours may not work like ours but if we are not using the nav and are listening to songs on our phone via Bluetooth, the google directions will come out the cars speakers. It's probably the same as SJSharks answer above.
