Google maps and bluetooth
Having used Google maps on my iPhone 4S over the previous years
I was satisfied that it did the job. However yesterday on my iPhone
6 it opened up a new way of doing things I was not aware of.

Found the address I needed tapped directions and the iPhone as always
spoke "proceed to the route" from the iPhone speaker. Then there was
a pause, the radio was silenced and the next instructions came from
the X5's audio system. When the instructions were done the radio came
back on until the next instruction, and that process continued until i
arrived at my destination.

For me it was a surprise that the iPhone 6 and google maps was most
likely using my Bluetooth to transmit the directions thru the X5 audio
system wirelessly. Now why can't I play my music that way. Hmmmmm

For what it's worth, my Windows Phone does the same thing.

My android phone will mute the car audio system whenever I get a call on my GROM bluetooth, and return to the regular volume after the call is hung up.

You must have a phonograph player connected to the GROM if it skips when you hit a bump.

Actually, I fixed it. Just gave it another power source and boom, no skipping when I hit bumps now. Grom = good
