Waze navigation audio question

I have probably a stupid question, but can't figure it out. I use the Waze app on my iPhone for navigation. I have the settings on Waze to have the audio playback using the Bluetooth connection and my phone is connected via Bluetooth to my car. I recently noticed that if I plug my phone into the car USB port to charge the phone while driving I do not get any audio from the Waze app. If I disconnect the USB connection I get the audio. I tried changing the Entertainment selection to USB on the car while the phone is plugged in, but I still would get no audio from Waze. Any thoughts?
 
It sounds like your iPhone disables Bluetooth audio when the power/data port is connected.
 
Same experience in my 2016 GT non-tech and my last car. The solution - USB charger plugged into my 12v and Waze will play over Bluetooth.

Thanks. I was wondering if that might work and was going to try it next.
