How can I hear navigation instructions through my car radio?
Any suggestions will be welcome. Why have TomTom stopped putting an audio output socket on the car satnavs? I could use an motorbike satnav, which I have, but screen is much too small.
Thanks in advance.

I'll have to give this problem some further thought in due course. As I'm an ancient 83 years old, there are always more important issues, like the recent coronavirus outbreak, for me to worry about!
I still have another satnav from another manufacturer, which does have an audio output, but which for me, is not as good at navigation as this TomTom is.

If using Bluetooth will fit in your requirements ???

I guess you wouldn't need the Voice Booming out... It would only need to be at Line-out level for the Microphone to pick up the instructions
Maybe the Bluetooth Converter would pair with the Bluetooth receiver below....

I use one of these connected over Bluetooth to my Rider 400 or Rider 550 when I’m driving a Self-Hire panel van
The 3mm male/male jack plug is removable and I plug in a pair of standard ear buds
