Waze Integration With CarPlay Dashboard Goes Live

Nothing made it into the release notes... Has anyone tested this yet?

It works for me to have Waze now in the CarPlay Dashboard. Means in that "special" homescreen of CarPlay that shows the map and the other tiles for now playing. I have not yet tested if this then shows up in the heads up display.

How are you guys still using Waze. On the X5 full screen, the Waze screen looks ugly with a massive present position icon. It is gigantic and looks almost like low res. I also don't see any Waze updates at all.

Just wish Waze would update their GUI to look a bit more slick vs the Fisher Price graphics.

Waze is the slowest loading navigation app I've ever used. Every time I try to use it, it takes a minute to download new data. If it wasn't for the police warnings id be so happy to delete that trash app once and for all

Waze is working fine of me w/ CarPlay as a separate app that shows on the home screen. But no, it does not show up in the HUD, which is definitely an advantage for the native navigation system. Too bad, because I do prefer Waze's navigation w/ what seems to be better integration with traffic info.
