Lyft Amp, bluetooth, navigation and audio

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!

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

Just me...

I wish Uber had a serious equivalent.

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.
