Disable Bluetooth usage in app. I use Bluetooth as a care phone, but listen to the radio.
I use the Bluetooth for car phone use, but listen to the radio. Because you can't turn off Bluetooth use in waze, it runs silent because it's trying to alert you by Bluetooth.. a setting for Bluetooth use within the app would be helpful..

Waze bluetooth-Kopplung
Mich stört an Waze, dass Waze sich im Auto zuerst mit meinem bluetooth Hörgerät verbindet und nicht mit den Auto Lausprechern.
Um das zu korrigieren muss ich zuerst das winzige bluetooth-Symbol auf dem iPhone treffen, anschließend auf den Knopf Tonausgabe tippen, um dort die Senke auszuwählen. Das ist viel zu umständlich!
Bitte verbessern!I'm dissapointed by Waze that ist couples in my car first with my new hearing aid and not with my cars loudspeakers. Trying to change this, I need to click on a too tiny bluetooth button, then to click on another button for adressing the sound…

Bluetooth kihangosítás nem működik!
Az utolsó IOS frissítéssel nem lehet beállítani, hogy a hangutasítások a bluetooth kihangosítón szóljanak. Minden beállítás ellenére csak a telefonon szólnak az utasítások.
Kérem javítsák mihamarabb!

Option to use Bluetooth HSP or A2DP
Waze uses bluetooth A2DP for navifation instructions. But a lot of car sets only uses bluetooth HSP. There are apps that convert A2DP to HSP but these apps always mute the car radio. So it would be great, if Waze can send navidation instructions via HSP to a bluetooth car set. So it will mute the radio, give the navigation instruction and then unmute the radio. I think that would be a big feature, cause google maps can't do this right now.

Tunnel Navigation bluetooth OBDII
Typically GPS signal is lost in long tunnels. Why not include a waze connection to a bluetooth enabled OBDII device in your car to give accurate speed. The direction is immaterial as the tunnel path is well known.The devices are cheap about $5 to $20 on ebay. Waze would benefit by knowing speed through tunnels. Yes, beacons are good, but not if they are sparsely placed.

Fix Bluetooth bug
IPhone 6 voice guidance stops connecting to car's Bluetooth and cannot be restored or connects and interrupts audio with silence. Until this is fixed, the app is pretty useless. Worked for a week or 2 before it stopped. Deleted and reinstalled and it worked for about 30 minutes before quitting again. Is BMW in case that matters.

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.29 votes -
BLUETOOTH INTERAFACE
I HAVE WONDERED IF WAZE WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A INTERFACE THAT WOULD CONNECT TO THE DEVICE WITH BLUETOOTH, THIS WOULD ENABLE USERS TO HAVE A LARGER SCREEN AND THE ABILITY TO USE IT LIKE A SAT NAV ON THE WINDSCREEN FOR INSTANCE.

Audio as Bluetooth Call
You should be able to adjust the instructions, so that they are played as a bluetooth call. This is very helpful for motorcyclists, if they want to use an intercom

Slow, buggy speech when using Bluetooth/Hands Free
Waze's speech while using bluetooth is filled with long awkward pauses. Often, the speech is unable to complete saying the direction before the next speech event needs to occur. The pauses between speech events are excessively long. This problem only manifests itself when connected to bluetooth audio.
Additionally, the speech is routed through "media player audio" instead of a voice command specific audio event. This means that the vehicle itself must be set to bluetooth audio music streaming rather than listening to the radio. Since the events turn on/off, the bluetooth media option is often unavailable and cannot be activated.

Automatically start/stop reporting on bluetooth connect/disconnect
Please consider a settings option to report traffic only if exact bluetooth device (my car HF) is connected. This could be very useful feature to avoid false traffic reports.
Settings:
- Turn feature ON / OFF
- Choose BT deviceBehaviour:
- When exact bluetooth device is connected, wait until some ratelimit speed is reached (i.e. 30 kmh) and start reporting.
- When bluetooth device is disconnected, automatically stop traffic reporting.10 votes -
Support ODB bluetooth dongles
Allow the use of an ODB bluetooth dongle to get a number of improvements. These dongles are quite cheap and provide a wealth of extra data. Possible uses:
[ Better dead reckoning using vehicle speed ]
Using the actual vehicle speed combined with compass, accelerometer and map matching it should be possible to have accurate positioning in tunnels/urban canyons. TomTom does this and is able to do near-perfect positioning with only one GPS datapoint every 30 minutes.[ Monitor fuel usage ]
Things like planning a gas stop could be automated. When the tank gets below a certain…31 votes -

Support for Bluetooth OBD / EV data
I need support for Bluetooth OBD adapters for electric cars (live data on battery status and consumption, etc.) so that charging planning is also possible with Waze. When planning charging, it would be great if you could give preference to certain providers. As we know, ABRP offers exactly this function, but I would prefer to navigate with Waze in Android Auto and still have my electric car data in the navigation system.
