GEN 2 WAZE - does it work for you?

[SilverBolt]

If you are using waze with android auto you can play music through your phone at the same time. I just did a trip to Nashville and back using waze and pandora the entire time. I have a google pixel.

How are you getting Pandora to work with Waze? I haven't been able to figure that out.

You should be able to hit the music icon at the bottom of the Android Auto screen, that will bring you to whatever compatible music apps you have on your phone.

Thank you. Will give it a try.

Waze works for me in car play but I have Android.

Car play in general is spotty and always kicks out several times during a long drive for me

Mine is laggy as shit

Mine came up this morning, after an overnight and following Toad’s instructions. It’s not immediate.

I haven’t experienced any lag issues others have seen but, I am new to waze and used to sync. Sync3 runs on “island time”

A tech that is working on the Waze integration for Ford flew with me yesterday. He told me that the official release will be in May.

I have a Pixel 2 and can use Waze while using Android Auto, and it runs smoothly. Android Auto also runs fast. I can listen to Pandora, Spotify, and the Sync music (AM, FM, Sirius) while using Waze in AA. And it all runs fast... However, it is very buggy. Sometimes my phone calls get fuzzy/staticky, sometimes the radio will not go to AA when I plug the phone in, and sometimes it dumps me out of Android Auto while the phone is still plugged in. Also, sometimes my music coming through AA sounds terrible (low bitrate with no bass). I would say it works well about 75% of the time.

Last note, I was using OBD2AA for gauges on the screen from Torque, and CarStream to stream youtube videos to AA. It was awesome. The kids had music videos when they rode with me, and I had gauges when I wanted them. AA released version 3 (not Sync 3), and it broke the ability to stream video. Most people downgraded to V2.92 and turned off auto-updates, and it continued to work. Google however, pushed a backdoor update (hidden, forced update, that was not an AA update or an Android update), that stopped it all from working regardless of what version of AA you are running. Since that happened, the whole thing seems to be buggier. I was going to root my phone and install a different kernel and rom to see if it would fix it, but I haven't had much time.

Here is the video of when it was working.

It will never work in carplay mode until apple says it can. And they likely never will. And FYI, Waze on the radio screen sucks donkey dung. It's slow and crappy...

It will be compatible with iOS 12.

My question is can Waze and Sirius be used at the same time and not have Sync switch off sat radio everytime Waze announces a new direction/hazard? Or is this something that will have to wait for the new iOS?

Not sure. I installed iOS 12 yesterday but I think Waze or Sync also needs an update because it is not yet available in carplay.
