I have a Nexus 5X and I drive a 2016 Honda Fit. When I’m in the car I can’t hear the navigation instructions if I have bluetooth turned on. So I never use bluetooth when I’m working because I won’t hear navigation. However, the Lyft Amp requires bluetooth. The 2016 Honda Fit does not support Android Auto, so that’s not an option – I already tried it. Is there a workaround or should I forget about using the Amp? These are specific requirements, but maybe someone else out here has the same and I’m just looking for advice. TIA!

Take the amp that you got and throw it in the trash.

I actually love the glow of the Amps coming toward me.

Just me...

I wish Uber had a serious equivalent.

You pair the Amp with your phone.
Your phone pairs with the cars BT.
Do not pair your Amp to the cars BT.

In your navigation settings there's a option to turn it on and off.

This is the stock gps with lyft. I have mine set to no audio.

If your want audio click Audio Settings and click all audio

And to make the sound come out the car speaker click Enable Bluetooth Audio

They do, they have glow up stickers. Don't know how much people actually have them though.

I want nothing to do with the amp. I never confirmed my shopping address when they tried sending me one.

I like the idea of Amp, as long as I can get it to work! My main issue is with bluetooth in my car. I think I'm doing it wrong and got some good advice.

The beacons are rolling out soon. I love mine. Except my charger already broke so FML.

All you have to do is Pair the amp to your phone using the instructions and the amp works.
THEN if you want to hear directions/ Prompts over the speaker: you need to be on the "bluetooth audio" station on your car media player. So you'd just need to play music from your phone (iHeartRadio, Spotify etc).
I'm not a Honda owner so thats the best I can explain.

So do the police! Best place to put your AMP is on Ebay.

having the amp on interferes with my bluetooth headphones and car connection and i hate the glow on the inside of my windshield, for those reasons i'm out.
