Make sure your phone isn't connected to the cars Bluetooth

You need to go into settings and turn up the volume on media. It operates separately from calls and notifications.

When you type the address in and press START doesn’t a little mute sign show up on the right? You just click on that.

If the blue tooth is turned on on your phone, it is going to try and send the sound to the closest blue tooth speaker (ie your car). If you turn the blue toothoff thenit will just use the phone speaker

for simplicity sake I would

turn off bluetooth
turn up sound on phone (if you have several sound options turn up the media one)
launch the maps and add you destination
find the speaker icon on the map and toggle it until you get the level of instructions you want. Some options just give you warnings and other options give the the blow by blow directions
