Split-screen view in CarPlay
On a long trip, it’s nice to see how far along you are on the full route - but there’s not a lot of need for turn-by-turn on the highway. Please make a view that uses some of the large available space in CarPlay mode to show the “route overview” map next to the turn-by-turn.

Lane display in AA/CarPlay
Hello,
I suggest changing the lane display on Waze in CarPlay/Android Auto. The display is too small although there is the possibility of having a larger display without losing the basic instructions.
Here is an example --> https://photos.app.goo.gl/yDCGB9X6EhJyWogAA

Waze doesn’t work with Ford CarPlay
I removed Waze from my iPhone XS because it prevents the car’s audio volume from working properly when connected through USB CarPlay. Too bad because I otherwise like the app but that behavior is not acceptable. So I won’t use it anymore.

Carplay waze music
Hi, I truly enjoying waze app in carplay but on full screen mode it would be perfect if it had shown people what their are listening at the moment. It would be wonderful if you added this feature. (yeah I know that it is possible to minimise waze and see palyer on screen but as I said it would be perfect to see what music is playing on full mode)

App closure after Apple CarPlay shutdown
Please fix the app so it automatically closes after the car shuts off with Apple CarPlay. It used to do this until about 6-12 months ago. It’s annoying that Waze stays running when you get out of your car, draining your phone battery.

Exit Waze when disconnecting from Apple CarPlay
I love Waze for longer journeys, using it with Apple CarPlay. But I don't need it for popping to the shops - i.e. most daily journeys.
However the App starts up on my phone every time I get in the car regardless, and then continues running even after I get out. It really drains my phone battery. I have to remember to close it manually. I can't find a way to stop this behaviour - it is a real pain.
I'm sure it wasn't always like this, but this means I have had to disable Waze on my CarPlay…

Améliorer l’interface CarPlay
J’aimerais pouvoir choisir le côté où le compteur s’affiche ainsi que la taille de cet affichage.
J’aimerais aussi pouvoir choisir le côté où le bouton de signalement se trouve.
Actuellement ces 2 paramètres sont à droite sur l’affichage CarPlay et donc c’est loin il faut tendre le bras alors que si c’était à gauche ce serait beaucoup plus visible et plus rapide à signaler.
Il manque aussi les bornes de recharge Electra.
Merci d’avance1 vote -
Manually Disable CarPlay
I much prefer to use CarPlay on my phone than on my faulty dim old car screen, but disabling Waze through my iPhone settings doesn’t work half the time so I keep needing to unplug my phone sacrificing my music and charging whenever I want to use Waze. I wish there was an in-app way to prevent CarPlay from accessing Waze so I could charge my phone while seeing the map on its screen.

Add Dark Mode Toggle Button on Apple CarPlay Display
On Apple CarPlay, when the vehicle headlights are on, Waze switches to Night Mode. This seems to be independent of the phone settings.
The only way to change this is to use the phone app and change the Map Display/Dark Mode setting to Off. This is not a good solution while operating a vehicle.
This could be fixed by adding a Day/Night (Dark Mode) toggle button on the CarPlay display.

CarPlay speed not padded
The current speed, when connected to Apple CarPlay takes the speed from the vehicle and pads it by approx 11%.
Please either show gps speed or car speed provided by vehicle. Padding not required.

Prioritize Full CarPlay Integration: HUD & Instrument Cluster Directions
Hello Waze Team,
This post is to strongly urge the prioritization of full integration with Apple CarPlay to enable turn-by-turn navigation on built-in Head-Up Displays (HUD) and digital instrument clusters.
This remains one of the most critical safety and convenience features missing from Waze, and it's a primary reason why many drivers reluctantly switch to Apple Maps when using CarPlay.
The Technical Framework Exists
We understand that enabling this feature is entirely possible within Apple's provided framework. The process is initiated by implementing the mapTemplateShouldProvideNavigationMetadata(_:) delegate method. By returning true from this function, Waze can signal to CarPlay that…

CarPlay notifications on home screen
On Android Auto the home screen provides speed/hazards notifications on the main screen. Can this be added into CarPlay via the home screen instead of having to have the app on full screen to see notifications.

motorcycle display preferences for carplay
I have 5" carplay units on both of my motorcycles. (no this is not a display size issue). My preferred map software in carplay, is Waze, as I want the most crowdsourced information such as cops, traffic, construction, etc. My only problem on the motorcycle with carplay/Waze display is that the map is way too FINE and small print, the speed is too small, and red/black which are fairly impossible to read as they're both dark colors.
My ask, and idea, and suggestion... either basically control over the display SIZE to make the fonts and boldness of the…

Waze CarPlay glitch
When navigating in the background on Waze via Apple CarPlay, and trying to change music on Spotify in CarPlay, if I approach a turn, Waze starts popping up prompting me to return to Waze and see the map. However, when it's a simple instruction like "turn right ahead," I will try to minimize the navigation without viewing the map so I can continue selecting music. But the pop up WILL NOT STOP until I click it and go back to Waze to see the map - there is literally no way to ignore the navigational pop ups when…
