Waze audio when iPhone hardwired in

I took my first long drive today and I noticed the turn by turn instructions only work via Bluetooth when my iPhone isn't plugged in to the port in the armrest/ center console. I want to be able to plug in for charging and accessing media while still getting turn by turn through car speakers, is there a way to do that?

I run with either EL or Escort 360 and the EL smart cord comes with a power source for my iPhone. I have no problems with BT audio from EL when steaming music from my iPhone6S.

EL is Escort Live, a better way of getting radar/lidar reports than Waze but it works best when using a premium account with an Escort detector like RL or even the 360 that already gives one most info we want.

I don't know the answer to your original problem although if I have charged my iPhone directly from the port you are using and did not have a problem but then again it would be rare for me to use anything other than the EL smart cord but I thought the electronic issues would be the same.
