Add average speed zone indication on screen to Android auto
In Android auto the average speed zone is announced by voice but there is no indication on screen like in the "normal" waze. So you don't know how long the zone is and if you respect the speed.

Android Auto Split Screen Support
In Android Auto full screen mode and using 2 apps for example Waze and YouTube Music, if you select music on the main screen (left) then the split screen (right) just shows Date/Time. Expecting Waze map to show in the split screen.
That's how it works with Google Maps. It shows up in the split screen if another app is in the main screen. Why can't it be same with Waze?

Decreased Max Volume: Apple Music Connected to Waze Playing through Bluetooth
If I’m playing music through Apple Music connected with Waze playing through the car’s Bluetooth: Before beginning navigation, volume for the song begins at 100% of what the phone volume is set to, spoken navigation directions decreases volume of song to give 50/50 blend of music and directions at 100% total volume, and then PROBLEM - music volume increases after directions to ~85% total volume.
My car speakers don’t get loud so I need the phone and car volume at max, and with Waze I cannot get the best experience.

Android auto - setting avoid highways
Intro.
Sometimes im in my motorbike and enable the setting "avoid highways". Then if I forget to disable it and drive my car with android auto:1.- I canno disable the setting from there, therefore, al the time navigation is wrong.
- shoul be nice a setting in AAuto.2.- Also Waze could be smart enough to understand that Im prefering driving using highways.. so at the third "redirection" could make a questio like "do you want to continue using highways?"

Allow a longer delay before voice prompts
When using my iPhone with bluetooth handsfree kit, I miss the first word of each prompt while the kit detects bluetooth audio and mutes my radio in the car. Please increase delay between starting the announcement (or add a selectable option to do so) to overcome this problem.

Why isn't Waze on Android Auto!? It's April of 2016!
Please get this thing on Android Auto. I just shelled out $800 with the hope that this was already included, being Waze is a part of Google and all.
Come on Waze team, make it happen!!!

Waze android auto: zoom in/out from the joystick
Waze in android auto should allow us zooming in/out from the multimedia joystick like we can do with google maps.
Maybe it would be intersting a new botton called zoom to highlight it and then we could move the joystick.15 votes -
Auto Launch app when connecting to a specific bluetooth device (Car)
It's something that holds me back to switch to Waze. I need the app to start up automatically when connecting to a self set chosen Bluetooth network.
That way you never have to touch the app for starting automatically when driving. Only when you want to use the app when navigating.I think this stops a lot of users changing to Waze.
Thanks in advance!

Choose Route in Android Auto
When using Android Auto, allow users to choose from available routes, regardless if Avoid Tolls, Freeways, etc... is selected.
Route choice is available directly in the Waze app, however, when connected, Android Auto locks the Waze app preventing the user from accessing it directly from the phone (love that safety feature)!
Please allow users to choose a route when using the app, including tolls or no tolls.

Hide notification bar in Android
Hiding the Notification bar would give a little more screen real estate, but the big deal here is that newer phones have AMOLED screens which can suffer from burn-in, and the notification bar in Android with the screen turned way up while navigating for hours is surely going to cause this. Can we PLEASE hide the notification bar so it doesn't damage our screens? Nexus One, Desire, Incredible, likely others will all be possibly impacted by this.
8 votesthis will not solve the issue with these screens, as waze has its own bar (right below the notifications bar) which will not be removed. So we need to think of a better solution that will prevent the burn-in, but hiding the notifications bar will not help.

Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice…
11 votesThank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. The first issue you raised was resolved a few months ago; however, if you are still experiencing any difficulties, please feel free to contact Waze support here for further assistance. As for your suggestion to make all options available in the mobile version without needing the phone, we truly appreciate it and have shared it with the team for consideration. Additionally, we're happy to inform you that the Heads Up Display (HUD) feature you suggested is now live.

Make Waze a built-in app with Android
It would be great to make Waze a built in app that comes shipped with Android and ready to be used right out of the box. Waze is owned by Google and something like that may be possible. This will make users in countries where Waze is not famous know that the app exists and make them at least give it a try.
If this is not possible then maybe establish partnerships with smartphone companies to make Waze available as a built in app with their version of Android.
Another suggestion is to rename the Waze app to something…

Waze on Android head unit: Send ETA by SMS or instant message via connected phone
I have an Android-based head unit. It gets an internet connection from mobile data via Wifi tethering to my phone. It is also paired to my phone via bluetooth.
I'd like to send my ETA on an SMS text to a phone contact on my connected phone, as opposed to email through the tethere internet connection.
It would be good to see integration with other messaging & social media services, i.e. Whatsapp, Google Hangouts and Facebook.Messenger, for the purposes to sending ETA, or linking a tracking beacon.

Speedometer disappears on Android alAuto
Speedometer and speed limit disappears randomly on Android Auto.
Sometimes the problem can be solved by stopping, and changing zoom level by buttons that appear in place of the speedometer. This is not a GPS issue, as navigation works fine at the same time.
Seems to be triggered by Android Auto started after Waze, or Android Auto restarted when Waze is running (head unit restarts when I start the engine). But I'm not 100% sure.

Android Auto interface, select destination on map
When long-tapping the Waze for Android Auto map, a location marker appears and the road is highlighted and that's all.
I would like a "navigate to point" popup to appear, similar to google maps. Without this, it is not possible to navigate to a point highlighted on the map.13 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
Android Auto Proected is a major focus for us in this year, and we encourage you to read more about it in the Android Auto forum for updates and latest releases.
Thanks!
