HFP Prompts (Hands Free Protocol) via Bluetooth when navigating with Apple Maps is messed up on my 5S. Turn Notifications are not timed correctly, often are played too early and very often are completely silent.
This worked perfectly on previous iOSes, but not on iOS9.

Anyone using HFP Prompts with the Maps App and experiencing this?
I filed a report with the Feedback App.

Yes, I have used the prompts and experienced the same thing over Bluetooth. I would get a prompt or not depending how it felt. Connected via USB they were reliable. Since getting a watch though, I turned the voice off and in fact don't even look at the phone display anymore when I navigate. No need since the watch taps me on the wrist with different patterns for left and right turns. I don't know what the fix is but mine has been inconsistent with Bluetooth for as long as I can remember.
 
I've been having problems since beta 4. 90% of the time I don't get any voice commands via Bluetooth. Selecting the iPhone as the audio device does work 100% tho. I have filled a bug report to Apple.
