The most requested feature for Android –Waze now works in vehciles with built-in Android Auto compatible infotainment unts. Waze now works for most Android Auto compatible vehicles but not without glitches for some users.
You have to have Waze installed on your phone, then in Android Auto select Waze as your preferred navigation supplier. Waze doesn’t work in Android Auto for smartphone use, only on integrated automotive systems. It is very important to make sure that Android Auto, Waze and the Google App software are all updated on your phone. Android Auto on vehicles often experiences glitches and problems with tech support, especially on luxury vehicles.
We were hoping there would be no issues with Android Auto and Waze, however Google wants Wazers to submit debug reports through a ticket. A few days after the update, there are already issues reported with Waze, Android Auto and cars.
Reported Waze/Android Auto Problems
There was problem with the Google app with text messaging and voice commands which was fixed with a Google app update.
There have been reports of the voiced directions not sounding correct and being slurred together in Waze. Waze showed only a dot instead of arrow when arriving at a desination. and location wasn’t updated. Some car users have reported theat the North point arrow is not showing.
The Good News About Waze and Android Auto (When it Works)
Once activated, Waze can be controlled via the car’s touchcreens, steering wheel buttons, and other automotive control. After you connect a compatible Android phone to the USB port in the car.
Make sure you have the most updated Waze, Android Ato and Google apps installed on your phone. You also want to make sure that Waze and Google apps are activated on your phone.
Then connect your phone by the correct cable to your car USB port. Select “Navigation App” from the footer of your screen and Waze will start if it’s the last used navigation app. (If Waze was not the most recently used navigation app, tap the navigation Menu at the bottom left and select “Waze.”) To start navigating go to “Menu” and select a “Favorite” location (i.e. “Home” or “Work”) or search for an address via the keyboard.
Waze features you’ll be able to use are:
- Navigate to favorite and pre-programmed in your Waze app in one tap.
- Start navigation using voice command “OK, Google.”
- Receive visual and audio alerts .
- See the ETA screen.
- Help other Wazers on the road through a visual reporting menu.
