Bluetooth ?
 
I am thinking of upgrading the single din in my square body. I am wanting to go Bluetooth. Mainly for calls, I really don't stream much music. I have an Android phone, a droid turbo 2. My question is will google maps over bluetooth interrupt and play over FM radio? I am considering a Kenwood like

Thanks Jay

Personally, I would stay away from Kenwood stereos. I think they are the most complicated to operate. They sound good but there are others that sound as good or better and are FAR easier to operate. Sony, JVC, Pioneer all are better in my opinion.

Yes the voice will over ride the music if it turned on on maps.
I like the Alpine myself! I put this same unit in the 56 and the 64.

I used an Android Auto compatible unit on my most recent upgrade, and its really really nice having voice search/nav, handsfree talk control, and visual nav all running through google maps.

You can definitely use BT for nav audio while the radio is on BUT, you'll need to control nav voice volume from the phone, as most of the units won't be able to control that volume separate from the main audio levels.
