Apple Carplay does not yet support tapping on promoted places or anything else (like reports) as you can do when you run the App disconnected from Carplay and use your phone's touchscreen.

It's not supposed to be possible to hide advertized locations, people usually complain about not being able to remove them. This is the first time I hear about ad pins being gone from someone's navigation, so I honestly don't know how to get back something you're not supposed to be able to get rid of.

Not unless you stop navigation and free-drive without guided directions.

The "empty shell" that third-party GPS systems can use for Apple CarPlay is entirely controlled by Apple, Waze can only use it to display their info inside what they're given.

You're gonna have to ask Apple to make it smaller for everyone or user-customisable. Waze has no power over CarPlay.

Hello, I just started using Waze on a Rav 4 with Apple CarPlay. When I use my phone in my Toyota Corolla without CarPlay, Waze won’t use my car’s Bluetooth to announce anything. When it’s time to announce a turn, it will come over my radio as a call but nothing is stated. I tried other navigation apps and everything is fine, but with Waze, it’s a problem. Anyone else have a problem with the sound when they are using different cars, in particular, one with Apple CarPlay and one without it?

Just out of curiosity, when Waze is used through CarPlay, does it use the car's GPS system (provided the car has one)? Or does it still rely on the phone's internal GPS?
Thanks.

Hi, I just tried Waze on Carplay for 2 days now. I tested on my and my wife phones, looked like it made phones really hot and location seem a little bit delay, not like when I use Apple or Google maps. Did anyone get this problem? I would like to use Waze but I don't want my phone battery die sooner than expected.

Display alerts for speed camera is quite big and it stays on the screen until manually dismissed even after you pass the speed camera. This blocks most of the map

On another matter, reporting is harder because sometimes you have to scroll through choices. Maybe change the text format and have icons instead which can be not as wide, so we can fit more on the same screen

Generally saying it works.
2 questions:
How can I operate voice control for Waze?
How can I turn Waze into default map on Carplay
Whenever I use the voice control it directs to Apple Map and not Waze.
Thanks.
You can tap the microphone icon in the CarPlay display to access Waze voice commands. You cannot control through Siri yet.

But you can use Siri to Open Waze though (although it seems to bring up Waze automatically for me since I mostly use Waze on CarPlayou cannot make Waze default but you can remove apple maps from the display pages of CarPlay

Will there ever be a fix for Waze sticking in night mode during the day unless the CarPlay display mode is set to Automatic?
