These forums are specific to the Waze mobile app. Post here if you experienced a problem while using the app, have a question about the app functionality or a feature such as navigation or search.
Sign me on as really hoping Waze adds CarPlay support. I'm guessing that Android Auto will have support but I'm hoping for carplay as I have iphones with a Pioneer AVH-4000NEX.
I, too, am a disgruntled but loyal Apple fan, who has bought a car and had that massive deflating moment upon plugging in my iPhone.
Apple is preventing submission of third party navigation apps on CarPlay. Their Developer guidelines https://developer.apple.com/carplay/hum ... roduction/ clearly state that third-party CarPlay submissions can only be used for audio apps, "automaker" apps, messaging apps, or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) apps. Waze does not fit into any of these categories because it is a navigation app.
If you want to help convince Apple to change this policy, please sign up for a free Apple Developer Account https://developer.apple.com/ and file a bug report https://bugreport.apple.com/ with Apple and explain why they need to allow navigation apps on CarPlay. They will take a few weeks to assess your bug report, and then file it as closed, but mark it as a duplicate of an existing bug report. To help Apple staff do this, mention rdar://22830071 in your submission. This is the mechanism that is roughly equivalent of "upvoting" a feature request. If enough developers do this, the original bug report will have so many requests they will be compelled not to ignore it.
Additional millions PLEASE requests.
Also posted feedback to Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback, chosen iPhone as the product. Hope that as more feedback requests they'll get, we'll get closer for Waze support in CarPlay.
It's a deadlocked situation - if I were Google, I would enable Waze on Android Auto, sit back and watch how many people would buy Android phones just for the sake of having Waze in their car. Then Apple would rush to enabling it on CarPlay, before having to deal with the drop in iPhone sales...
