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.

Move where alerts appear in Apple CarPlay
When an alert pops up in CarPlay, all other indicators on the screen disappear aside from the physical map. The alert should be able to pop up without removing the next navigational instruction and the eta box.

Helping the police
I’m a police officer. I always have my Waze map pull up on my CarPlay. But I have found that it does not provide the names of every cross road while driving. I found that is does not have the name of the current street that I am on unless I am navigating somewhere. These are not critical changes as to how the app works in general. Mile markers on the highways would be great as well, specially if I’m trying to find the location of a reported accident. As little as these changes are, they can help save lives.

Still there button
When the “still there, not there” options appears, on many occasions when trying to select option, I’ve pressed the wrong one due to bumps in road causing hand to go up /down.
The shocks cause car to glide and causes up down motion.
If they were side by side, it would help prevent the “floating” hand moving up and down when trying to select.

Fully Functional Apple Carplay
Make Carplay fully functional like the app on iphones. I am tired of trying to report a cop on the other side of the road and it just be reported on my side. Or being able to add comments/view comments.

Pop-up banners hijack CarPlay functionality
Trying again...
Navigation pop-up banners hijack the functionality of other CarPlay apps. Whenever a Waze banner pops up, it overrides the ability to select any other function in CarPlay. It complicates the simplicity & minimal distraction for which CarPlay is designed. My car has a joystick knob to scroll through & select a CarPlay function, & there is no way to stop these banners from popping up. Turning the knob a click, or selecting one of the console buttons hides the banner for a fraction of a second, but the banner keeps incessantly popping up. When I move my cursor…

Cannot read reports from Wazers (green ...) when in CarPlay
When in CarPlay I can sometimes see a report (green ...) but cannot click on it to hear it play nor - when I am the right-side passenger see it on my phone to find out what is ahead. I wish it would play as alerts do - or that my phone would mirror the CarPlay display so I can better navigate from the right seat.

Distance
When CarPlay is in tiled mode (where it shows what song is playing and Waze only has half the screen) Waze shows me the ETA and the minutes remaining—distance remaining is left off due to the smaller screen real estate. Since I can derive time remaining from the ETA, how about showing distance remaining instead? So instead of:
10:31am 42 min
show:
10:31am 35 miles3 votes -

support turn-by-turn navigation instructions in the BMW Head-Up Display (HUD)
Hi Waze Team,
Is there any roadmap or estimated release date for Waze to support turn-by-turn navigation instructions in the BMW Head-Up Display (HUD) via Apple CarPlay, as Google Maps and Apple Maps already do?
Currently, Waze navigation directions can be displayed in the digital instrument cluster, but not in the HUD, even on vehicles that support this functionality through CarPlay with other navigation apps.
This would be a valuable improvement, allowing drivers to see navigation instructions directly on the windshield without taking their eyes off the road.
Is this feature under development? Is there an estimated release date or…

Poor contrast
Hello,
I would like to report that the contrast of the Routes button and the Change Sounds button on car play are lacking in contrast. The route button has a black arrow pointing in multiple direction over a dark gray button over a dark gray background. The change sounds is the same colors, but with the speaker. When not in CarPlay, this issue is fixed by using white colored icons instead of black ones. I am writing to request that a change like this be made in the CarPlay UI as well. Thank you.2 votes -
CarPlay iOS27
After the latest iOS update (27), the window displaying the arrival time and route distance is too large—there is too much empty space. Either the window needs to be made smaller, or the text should be displayed on a single line.

Option to minimize or hide the turn instruction banner in Apple CarPlay
Hello,
Please add an option to minimize or hide the large black turn instruction banner in Apple CarPlay.
I use Waze on a 6.25-inch Carpuride W602S Pro motorcycle display. The banner showing the next turn and distance takes up a large part of the screen and hides useful map information. On a motorcycle, having a clear view of the map is especially important for safety.
It would be very helpful to have three display options:
- Full banner
- Compact banner
- Hidden banner, with voice instructions only
Thank you.

CarPlay UI improvements: Cross-street names on map and proactive visual alternate routes
I would like to propose two purely visual UI improvements for Waze on Apple CarPlay, specifically designed for drivers who prefer on-screen cues over voice alerts:
- Real-time cross-street labels on the map: Please add a feature or setting to display the names of upcoming cross-streets or major intersecting roads directly on the CarPlay map layout, rather than only showing the name of the next turn. This helps drivers maintain spatial awareness and quickly recognize familiar local alternative routes via visual landmarks.
- Automatic HUD/Map indicators for alternate routes and faster recalculation: Finding alternate routes in CarPlay currently requires manual taps through…

Waze waits for confirmation to start drive when drive started with Siri
I've always initiated a drive using Siri on my iPhone 16 Pro. For example, I would say "Siri, Drive Home". And it would start the route automatically. However lately, I've noticed a dialog box pops up with a GO NOW button that waits for me to press it. It does not automatically start after a short period of time. I am driving a Mazda CX-5 and this is rather annoying. The touch screen disables when I drive. And I have to fiddle around with the switch to move to the GO NOW button to select it. Don't you think this…
