I came up with this option a few days ago!

Tested something new today, an app called Soundabout for Android.

Playing voice notes from Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger via your phone and the Bluetooth connection with the build-in carkit proved to be impossible. Similarly for playing voice instructions from Waze via the carkit.

There was no simple solution until I found an app, called SoundAbout. With this app you can redirect media sound like audio from voice notes and voice instructions via your carkit onto your in-car audio system.

The phone sends a signal to the carkit as soon as the voice note or voice instruction starts.The carkit thinks a phone call audio stream comes in and the switches to the audio stream. As soon as the audio stream is done, it goes back to your radio channel or other music stream.

There is a small delay of about half a second before the sound from the phone comes through, but I can manage that for now. I still need to do more testing, but this is great first start.
