School Zone
Please add "school Zone" option in carplay. This option would be beneficial instead of "wazers" giving the "hazard" notification for a school zone.

Honda civic Turn by Turn Navigation in Digital Cluster
Allow Turn by turn navigation to display in the Honda Civic digital cluster. Currently in the Si and Higher models while using CarPlay only Apple Maps offers this. When using Waze in my digital cluster, it just shows a compass

CarPlay + Waze / Cluster Turn-by-turn not showing like it does on Android Auto
When using Waze with CarPlay on a vehicle with turn by turn display on cluster, the Waze don't show any direction, while Android Auto display a full direction.
The car in question is a 2024 GWM Ora 03, but the same happens on a 2023 BMW 320i.
Also, I don't know if this specific Cluster/CarPlay API is available for other apps, but this only works using Apple Maps. Waze or Google Maps doesn't show any direction on the cluster while using Apple car Play.

Add a way to put Waze to sleep in Apple CarPlay
If I navigate with Waze in Apple CarPlay, it stays open on my phone and drains my battery unless I remember to go on my phone when I get out of my car and put Waze to sleep. Then the next time I get in my car, Waze starts up even if I don't use navigation and stays on on my phone when I get out of the car, again draining my phone battery. And if while in the car, I put Waze to sleep on my phone or quit the app, it immediately starts up again. This is a…

Remove submenus from report “hazard” in CarPlay/AA.
To report road works, or a stopped car you need to click report then select hazard, then select 1 of 3 submenus and then select the hazard inside the submenu, I think this is unnecessary, since there is enough space in the CarPlay main report menu to separate the “hazard” button into 3 separate icons, each corresponding to one of the previous submenus, this wold eliminate an entire step in the reporting process, making it safer, and therefore more people wold use it.

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 Final Destination
Please please please start making it where on Apple CarPlay the final destination pen is either on the left or the right where the final destination actually is because it’s always just on the right and that makes me think my destination is on the right but then when I look at the little flag icon that’s on the left that confuses me even more and takes my attention off the road

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 setup.

Auto sleep for Waze on iOS
Is there a way to get Waze to auto sleep after use on iOS with Car Play? I use Waze in my car, get out of my car, and it’s still running in the background and actively tracking my location.

Why do some reports require two confirmations in Car Play?
Why do some report confirmations require "Still There" to be selected twice? It seems to be based on distance from the incident for some reason, i.e. if I'm very close it seems to need on, but farther away asks twice.

Display EV charger availability and location when using Carplay

- display the same number on the map (so we know the location of each EV charger). is it on our way? is it ahead of us? is it behind?

dark mode
Your latest update has messed around with dark mode and I’d like to highlight a potentially dangerous problem. Dark mode used to automatically activate however now it doesn’t leaving a bright white screen during night driving on Apple car play. This is extremely dangerous
The only way to prevent this is to open your phone and then open Waze which enables dark mode. Please fix asap

Waze to issue Alerts when using CarPlay split screen
According to Waze support, when using Carplay split-screen (where Waze splits screen with other app like music), Waze won't issue traffic Alerts by design!! That's true, I have confirmed it. As soon as Waze returns to "full screen", it resumes issuing traffic alerts (danger, weather, radar, etc).
Split-screen is a quite usefull feature of Car-Play as it simplifies greatly audio/music control on the road, without the issue of messing with several buttons.
Although in split-screen mode the screen area that Waze has to show information is reduced, there is no reason why Waze could not keep issuing the alerts by…9 votes -

Compass carplay
Add the simple compass to the display in CarPlay. My car does not have a built in compass, but does have its own GPS that does show it, but I prefer to use Waze. It would be nice to have the compass in Waze.

turn by turn notification on in-car instrument cluster display
On my BMW 5 series (OS8.5) and CarPlay with iOS26, turn by turn notification/guidance that appears in instrument cluster is way too big, covering the route ahead which I need to drive. It is very difficult to see what is in front of me and in that case I need to look at the large display, which is not that safe especially when you need to turn. It would be much nicer to have this window moved underneath the car arrow instead of ETA window. ETA window in instrument cluster is not essential information and I could live without it,…
