This started occurring with a recent update.
I have an older Jeep (2012) with uConnect and an iPhone 12, and I can play Spotify via Bluetooth connection to uConnect (the in-dash system).
I've always been able to play podcasts through Spotify and have Google Maps giving me directions, and it would pause the podcast and give me voice directions for the next turn then resume the podcast.
With a recent update, it's all messed up. It is now pausing Spotify, but the voice directions are now coming through the PHONE speaker, with the podcast playing in the background of the directions, also on the Phone speaker. Then a few seconds later, it resumes playing Spotify through Bluetooth.
It's unusable. I've had to switch to Apple Maps, which functions just fine, like Google Maps used to function.
Is there a setting I need to change, is this expected new behavior, or my stuff is just too old?
