To answer your original question...

You can't presently. The only Maps application available on CarPlay (that I am aware of) is Apple Maps.

With that said, you can use Google Maps and have the audio portion of the directions play though your car speakers (I believe) without using CarPlay but, for now, you cannot get the visual portion of Google Maps to show up on the screen using CarPlay.

It can be done but the receiver must have an HDMI port. Either connect an Apple TV module or a Miracast dongle into the HDMI input. Then follow normal protocol to set up screen mirroring with the phone. Apple TV and Chromecast are a bit more complicated to set up because they require a dedicated wifi hub to facilitate screen mirroring. So folks get around it by also setting up their phone with hotspot capability. Unfortunately, the USDM infotainments don't come with HDMI like the ones in Thailand.

Furthermore, this won't work through AA or Carplay. At least not yet. All controls are handled through the phone itself. Think of the connection as an AUX or "video in." Apple and Google will have an interactive wireless protocol available in the future. And Apple already has this as an option but it's currently in Beta.
