Train Tracks (Animated?) On CarPlay
While navigating via CarPlay and seeing train tracks on the display, the track seems animated in a irrelevant way. I understand the perspective of the track changes, as the object moves alongside of it, but the animation is distracting to my opinion. My suggestion would be to minimise the animation by decreasing the times the refreshes. Hopefully this can be fixed, so driving next to train tracks is less distracting. Thanks a lot for all the effort! FCB

Fix Calendar integration with CarPlay
When I have an upcoming Calendar event (or one that's currently active that I'm late to!), Waze on CarPlay displays ... random calendar items, without any regard to prioritizing recent/near ones. It's intensely frustrating, and I often have to switch to Apple Maps, as broken as they frequently are, to get to where I'm going.

Apple Carplay alert notification format
Regarding Apple Carplay, the notifications for cops, hazards, etc is set up that the "Thanks & Not There" are over & under each other. I feel they should be side to side instead. 1st its already risky to take eyes off the road to press on the alert but as the car is in motion and roads flow naturally in an up & down motion, It's pretty easy to confirm the wrong answer. If they were side by side, It completely reduces the clicking of the wrong answer.

Adjust the font size on Apple Carplay when viewing the suggested routes
The font is too big on the suggested routes page on Apple Carplay meaning that it's not possible to see the journey time and distance for each of the suggested routes. The text is truncated. I have to unplug my phone from the car to see the full route information.
Please reformat the text on the suggested routes page on Carplay so the information is not truncated.5 votes -
turn not allowed for next turn on carplay
When the turn I need to make is not available, I should be able to say "turn not available" in the edits while using carplay.
There isn't a need to be able to edit multiple streets, just the turn Waze is asking for because I need to be able to be re-directed in a foreign area.6 votes -
Waze/ Carplay crashes at toll booths in Spain and France
Had Mercedes C300 rental car 2025, driving through Basque country in NE Spain and SW France. Ever since time I passed through a toll booth carplay and waze would crash and it would take some playing around to restart. Does anyone else encounter this issue? Major safety issue getting the app and carplay restarted. I think there may be a frequency from toll booths that disrupts the wireless carplay

CarPlay (Waze Map shown into instrument cluster update) as demonstrated by latest CarPlay updates
Apple have updated CarPlay to work with the instrument cluster in addition to the centre screen, which is far more comfortable in the latest cars to have navigation behind the wheel. Developers need to make updates to enable this feature to work for their apps.
Please update Waze to take advantage of this new functionality, which will improve the experience of navigating while driving.

Better voice search in CarPlay mode and categories like Gas, Food, etc
Better voice search in CarPlay mode and categories like Gas, Food, etc so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road and use the phone. I find myself having to close the Waze app in CarPlay and open up Apple maps just to find a place for a new route because typing in destinations in the Waze CarPlay mode doesn’t bring up closely relevant destinations, and voice search just brings up a map with no way to select anything. Just take a look at how Google Maps and Apple Maps does this feature. Especially for selecting categories like…

BUG: Using phone speaker option not working in CarPlay (latest iOS)
Waze should play sounds through the phone speakers when connected to CarPlay and when this setting is set in the Waze options. Situation right now is, that this option get fully ignored. This is bad when the phone outputs to a different audio device e.g. through bluetooth and the CarPlay sounds are muted. You have no change to get any audio from Waze in this situation. Please fix or at least also support output to different bluetooth device while connected to CarPlay.

I want back the ALWAYS LIGHT MODE in CarPlay
I have read that lots of people complained about not having dark mode.
But I need the ALWAYS LIGHT MODE due to its much easier readability in CarPlay.
Right now dark mode is enforced, because I have two options in CarPlay settings with IOS Waze 4.79: dark or automatic. In case of automatic when the headlights is switched on then dark mode is activated.
It happens so EVEN IF I CHOOSE DARK OFF in the app settings on my iphone.
Please revert to a 3-way solution in CarPlay:
- ALWAYS DARK MODE
2 ALWAYS LIGHT MODE
- AUTOMATIC

Opening Waze on Apple Carplay cuts off radio - doesn't with other map apps
When I open Waze on Apple Carplay in my car my music/radio will stop playing (switches from Radio/Sirius to iPod on my Pioneer Nex). I have to manually go back and turn the music back on. This doesn't happen when I open Google Maps or Apple Maps.

Traffic notifications while using CarPlay
In CarPlay when a notification comes up you're forced to react to it with a gesture input to clear it or until another notification comes up. This is frustrating as unless you clear the notification it will permanently prevent viewing other trip information. You can be WELL past the location of the notification and it still remains up unless you physically clear it. Surly it should automatically clear itself once the notification is no longer relevant without a drivers input.

Action icons on left in CarPlay (US) so driver doesn’t need to reach across
Put the action icons on the left (in countries where cars are on right of road) when displaying in CarPlay so the driver does not need to reach across to use them. Notifications should appear on right instead of left.
48 votesThanks for your feedback and apologies for any confusion. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

CarPlay synergy
When paired with a car play device the speed cameras on the map (especially on motorways) should be displayed similarly to the mobile version (with the blue circle) showing you exactly where the camera is located.

toggle for map when on CarPlay
I’ve been using Waze as my primary navigation app, but ever since Waze was made compatible with CarPlay I’ve been unable to view the map on my phone screen. “Just use the map on the radio screen” you might say. My iPhone is mounted next to my heads up display I have to look down when I have ApplePlay on to use the other music apps. The radio display is too low to view the map safely and is also susceptible to glare. My iPhone is mounted to my dash so I can glance at it without completing taking my…

Please fix dark mode in Apple Carplay.
It’s been broke since last update. It only works right when I open the app on my phone and radio at the same time, which negates the purpose of carplay being handsfree. I’ve been patiently awaiting an update for weeks, but I’m about to delete your app for burning my retinas every morning when I drive to work in the dark.

Add customize issue reporting button onto android auto or CarPlay interface
Allow users to customize addition of one frequently used “reporting issue” button to the android auto or CarPlay interface. Too many steps just to report a road hazard for example and that means eyes off the road, increasing risk factor for users.
