Radio with Google GPS voice simultaneously?

So I prefer using my phone on a car mount for Google navigation. I was trying to figure out how to have the directions voiced over the car speakers and I can make that happen if I connect my phone as a device and enable it as the external device it is connected to. However that prevents me from listening to the radio. Is there a way to have radio enabled but have Google navigation directions interrupt the radio over the car speakers? I've messed with it for awhile and it is either impossible, or I am just missing something.

Thank

This feature works like this in my 2010 528i as a voice call to the car ... it takes over the audio no matter the source and acts like a phone call coming in.

The car doesn't have bluetooth audio for music, not sure if this helps but thats how it works in my 5 series.

Might have just been the version of google maps but this was at least 2 years ago ... I haven't used like that in the last 2 years so.
