  1. Add bluetooth time to wake up on some cars

    With bluetooth on VW Passat (without Android Auto), the first word(s) is generally omitted. I understand that bluetooth go to sleep mode when nothing appens and that it takes a few ms to wake up thus missing the first words and thus potential important communications. Would it be possible to add an extra blank delay to give it the time to wake up the BT (this could be a config param for specific user like me) before the drive message. Thanks a lot.

  2. 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.

  4. Use Waze app when connected to Android Auto

    While connected to android auto you cannot use Waze on your phone, would be good to have the function of inputting addresses and cancelling routes, issue is to input anything from a phone you have to switch off Bluetooth or the car :(

    Unfortunately using android auto in your car can be very tedious rather than simply doing it from your phone.

  5. Allow the use of bluetooth controls while Waze is in the foreground.

    When Waze is running in the foreground, my bluetooth controls don't work. So I have to do a whole bunch of on-screen gymnastics just to skip to the next track in my queue. This is potentially dangerous while driving. I should be able to use the button on my steering wheel. (It works fine when Waze isn't running.)

  6. Can't listen to radio and use Waze if I have bluetooth

    Please, give me a way to have my phone connected to my car's bluetooth, listen to the radio, AND hear Waze prompts through my phone's audio! Apparently you used to have a "Prefer Bluetooth" toggle that I could turn off, but it doesn't exist in the version I have. Why would you get rid of this? Now my choices are silence from Waze while I listen to the radio, dead silence in the car until I get a Waze prompt, or turn off Bluetooth completely so that Waze will play through my phone speakers.

  8. Configurable sound outputs in Android App

    Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:

    In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
    When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.

    Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.

    My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.

    Output sound to:
    [ ] Speaker/headphones
    ( ) Speaker OR headphones…

  12. Waze android auto

    There needs to be a way to use Waze on car stereos with Android auto WITHOUT forcing you to use the stereo as a Bluetooth device to answer the phone. I like the sound of my Headset better than the radio sound for calls.

  14. Add option to enable and disable Waze based on Bluetooth and charging status

    Add the ability to enable or disable Waze based on various factors, such as bluetooth being enabled, name of paired device currently connected, or if the phone is currently connected to a power source. I love the app but I often forget to turn it off or on. As a result, I either burn battery by gps staying on if I forget to turn it Waze off, or I don't contribute to the community if I forget to turn Waze on. This could also be accomplished externally through integration with Tasker, as suggested by these ideas :

  15. Android Auto app without head unit

    Please update Android auto functionality to include those of use just using the Android auto app on our phones and not through a vehicle head unit. I would love to finally be able to use Android auto, as I have been waiting for Waze to be supported, but I don't have an Android auto head unit.

  17. Android Auto - Use Car Antenna

    Right now, when connecting to Android Auto, Waze still uses the phone GPS antenna. In comparison, Google Maps pulls the location from the headset/car antenna, which is often placed optimally to maximize GPS signal strength from within the car.

    Please set Waze to use the car's GPS antenna when connected via Android Auto

  18. Dynamically configure waze session based on Bluetooth connection (for motorbike/car/truck)

    Certain apps have the ability to detect what Bluetooth device is connected.

    My suggestion is to allow users to pre-configure different Bluetooth connections to different vehicular modes, for example, a Bluetooth headset may be used on a motorbike and therefore Waze could detect that this Bluetooth connection is present and set itself for motorbike mode, likewise, an in-car radios own Bluetooth connection could be configured for a car, and finally, a different Bluetooth connection could also be configured for a truck, I envisaged then that this would allow users to predefine certain options like toll passes, low emission zones and…

    Hey, 


    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

    We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

    Thanks!
