Change Vehicle profile by connected Bluetooth
I am using my device for navigation by car and motorcycle and I regularly forget to change the vehicle type.
I would love to have a feature that depending on what Bluetooth device is connected to the phone the vehicle type would be automatically set to the appropriate one.

Automatically switch vehicle profile (car / motorcycle) based on the connected Bluetooth device
Why it matters
Reduces friction for users who switch vehicles often
Prevents incorrect routing (motorcycle vs car differences)
Improves safety (no need to adjust settings while driving)
How it could work
User maps Bluetooth devices → vehicle profiles
“BMW Bike” → Motorcycle
“VW Golf” → Car
When device connects → Waze auto-switches profile
Bonus ideas (this makes it irresistible)
Optional toggle (user control)
Fallback if multiple devices connected
Notification: “Switched to Motorcycle mode 🏍️” -

Also it will be great if the sound setting can be set by vehicle.
Because on motorcycle I want the vocal direction but not in my car. -

Id like this feature too for the exact same reason. Switching between motorcycle and car frequently. At least make the option to switch vehicle easier, maybe add vehicle selection to the route creation screen.
