App Music insists on automatically playing while I'm using the maps app!

I wanted to be able to hear the Apple Map spoken directions through my car speakers via bluetooth. But Apple Music INSISTED on playing in-between the directions making it impossible to have a conversation with someone else in the car. I searched the net for HOURS to find a solution. I chatted with Apple support and got no satisfaction.

But I figured it out myself. The problem was not so much with my iPhone or Apple Music as it was with MY CAR! I have a 2015 Toyota Camry. I went into the CAR'S bluetooth settings and found two options. Connect as a phone and connect as a media player. I disabled "connect as a media player" and VOILA! - now I can hear the directions clear as day without Apple Music or Apple Podcasts automatically blasting back on.

When I want the music back again I will just reconnect to my car as a "media player"
