Hey there Lexusians! I purchased my 2016 200t F Sport on Wednesday and am loving it! I had a 2014 MB CLA until I totaled it on October 8.
I'm figuring out the details of the car currently. I've used the navigation a few times. One time it didn't give me voice directions when I got off the freeway
and it was confusing. I went back to Google Maps on the iPhone. I'd like to use voice command. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I trained it to
know my voice. Can you tell it to go to the name of a business instead of telling it an address? I attempted this to no avail. I did set my address as home, so
that's done. I'd like to use it if it will work for me. For those times it doesn't work, how do I get audio through the system's speakers from Google Maps on
my phone? I appreciate any suggestions you guys have. Thanks a lot!

If you put your stereo on bluetooth or usb (if your phone is plugged into the USB) it will play the audio through the stereo from your phones google maps, but it wont display the map on the screen you would need apple car play for that.

Thanks. I understand I can't have the navigation map on the screen if I use Google Maps audio from the phone.
