I have a 2015 with Navigation but wanted to try Apple Maps. Trouble was I couldn't be on an audio source (like FM, for example) and have that source be automatically paused for map directions - it was only one audio source at a time with the head unit, which had to be manually selected in the source menu. The solution wasn't obvious to me but turned out to be a contextual audio configuration in Apple Maps on the iPhone, which is only accessible while a map route is selected and active, otherwise you'll never see the necessary option.
While an Apple Maps route is RUNNING on the iPhone:
-SELECT the audio icon in the running map
-SELECT your Honda bluetooth pairing as the output
-ENABLE "Allow HFP Prompts" (Hands Free Profile) for that output option
I think this audio configuration is remembered once set but I've only been running this way for a short time so it remains to be seen if it holds through multiple scenarios or has to be re-enabled at some point. I'm currently running Apple Maps on an iPhone 7 using iOS 13, paired to the Honda via bluetooth and also connected with a lightning cable.
