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.

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.

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 -
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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
All I want is…3 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

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…11 votes -
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…

Add option to “Play voice over Bluetooth” instead of only having option to “Play as Bluetooth phone call” (HSP and A2DP options)
Play voice prompts directly using Bluetooth (HSP) rather than using Play as Bluetooth phone call (A2DP) which partially cuts the start of each prompt and shows your mobile number as calling on the screen every time there is a prompt. So annoying! Google maps have this feature now in settings.

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 :

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.

As you may know, Waze is already supported on Android Auto. Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Waze should delay commands by one or two seconds when iPhone is used through Bluetooth
I use Waze in my car, using my iPhone through Bluetooth so that the sound comes from the car speakers. The problem is, that Waze does not wait for the connection. All commands are partly cut off. For example: "in 1000 feet turn left" is heard as "turn left". Can you program Waze, so that when Bluetooth is used, there is a minor delay, for example 1 or 2 seconds, before the command is spoken. That way I will hear the entire instruction.
