Setting to Mute Audio System When Navigation Voice Directions are Spoken?

[eBullitt]

Is there a setting that allows the audio system to automatically mute when a navigation voice command is spoken? Currently the audio system continues to play uninterrupted whether the voice command is sourced from the built-in navigation or CarPlay Apple Maps/Google Maps. I've searched both the owner's manuals and this forum but haven't found an answer.

There is a toggle for muting audio in the OEM navigation as well as in Apple Maps & Waze.

It should automatically reduce the volume (but not mute completely) on music playing. If you’re listening to podcasts and want it to fully pause, then on your iPhone go to Settings -> Maps -> Spoken Directions and turn on “Directions Pause Spoken Audio.”

I haven’t seen anything that completely pauses/mutes music during navigation instructions though; it just lowers it.

Appreciate the reply, I'll take another look for the toggles.

I was expecting to hear the volume on the audio lowered. and a better description than what I called "mute." That would be great! I'll try to play around with the volume settings and see if I can achieve a happy medium. Thanks for the help!

It's hit or miss. When I'm playing YouTube music it pauses the music, not lowered volume, it pauses it. If I'm playing a podcast in BeyondPod it talks right over the podcast without lowering the podcast's volume. It's impossible to hear either one. I believe that the app needs to be "aware" that the host is trying to pause it.
