Default Apple Car Play to Support Waze on Sept 18th

iOS12 release is planned for Sept 18th and Apple Carplay is now going to support WAZE finally. I am super excited. We will be able to get real time traffic support without paying for it as well as all the other functionality that Waze offers.

I don't think the Beta version of iOS 12 had Waze integrated into Carplay yet. I can't wait to test it out.

Not on the currents beta, just checked.

finally this CarPlay malarkey will be borderline useful. Well, the maps did improve, now they are in par with 2004 tech. The screen resolution still upsets me as it seems to use the lowest possible, perhaps to average different head units resolution.

Like this?

Or

Maybe worth investigating. Personally, I don't see the hype on CarPlay. Lazy way for automakers to stay updated.

I downloaded the beta just for this reason. CarPlay still does not support it on the beta version like stated above. CarPlay is still worthless.

you can move icons between pages now - on the phone go settings -> general -> CarPlay -> car

at the top you’ll see the icons and pages and you can move them around

Thanks so much for posting this! So helpful. I thought there was no way to re-arrange the icons in CarPlay!

This is pure speculation. Just because IOS12 is coming out on the 18th doesnt mean Waze will have it ready on the 18th.
Nobody knows when Waze will be on CarPlay, but for sure it wont be until IOS12 is released, probably much later.

Why Waze on CarPlay? I use it solely for Police detection and to be able to have it front and center on the main screen sure beats looking at little icons on my iPhone propped up off angle to the side of console..

Waze is quite superior on real time traffic and road announcements, in my opinion. True it may not be available then, we can sure be hopeful

iOS 12 does support Waze. What is missing is a Waze app that works with CarPlay, which currently would only be a beta version. It does not appear that Waze currently offers a public beta intended for use with CarPlay.

Waze may not even be planning to release a CarPlay-compatible version, though it appears something is in the works based on the slides used in Apple's WWDC presentation. All that has been announced by Apple is that it will permit third-party navigation apps.

wow cool you can retrofit it to .1s, might look into that. Good news, I hate apple maps so I've found carplay not too useful so far.

Not quite. Recently (about two weeks ago) Apple announced that Carplay will specifically support Waze.

https://fox28media.com/news/auto-mat...ze-with-ios-12

"Apple said Monday that the latest version of its operating system will allow for third-party navigation apps such as Google Maps and Waze to display through its updated CarPlay system."
