I’ve realised yesterday if I stream through Bluetooth I can use Ford Navigation at same time. Which is great.  Not sure if when I need to plug into usb to charge my phone it’ll automatically change to google or Apple maps. Will be testing that this morning. Apple maps is alright but I prefer the built in sat nav. 

Not tried apple car play with my iPhone yet, I did connect my phone via bluetooth when I first got my car and realised I could play my apple music this way so haven't felt the need to try car play, as I only want it for the music also, and if it means no ford navigation I will carry on like this then.
