Ok I’m actually fine with bmw maps but use Waze via Bluetooth for “police reported ahead” notifications. Interested in seeing opinions on Waze interface via CarPlay.

I guess I'll persevere since Waze on the iDrive screen with the audio notifications plumbed through correctly would be a huge improvement. |

I've been using Waze in CarPlay since yesterday and it's not that bad. I just wish Apple would allow widescreen with CarPlay so that it's using the full screen.

Waze (and Google Maps) integrates seamlessly with any audio source being played, to include keeping the Waze (or Google) map being displayed while the audio source is playing (sat radio or any other source). How you access your different Sat radio channels will depend on how you have your car set up. I have some sat channels assigned to preset buttons, which will not change the Waze screen. You can also use your steering wheel controls to change stations as well without changing from the Waze screen. If you want access to all of your sat radio channels, you will have to go to the sat radio screen in iDrive - but that has always been the case. The one gripe I have about changing sat channels with CarPlay running (with Waze or any CarPlay app) is that when you use the steering wheel controls, you can only see the sat channels in one music category (whether it is projected on the HUD or in the instrument cluster). In order to see sat radio channels from other categories, you need to go to the Sat Radio idrive screen to switch categories. But I would not consider this a deal killer for me as it is only a few button pushes on the iDrive controller - and with the OEM touchscreen, it is even easier to use the system IMHO. That said, the Waze integration in CarPlay was a bit underwhelming. It is still Waze (and is better than Apple Maps) but it is not as functional as Waze is on your phone (the primary Waze functionality is still there, but the deeper functions require you to use your phone). I can speculate that this was due to the CarPlay integration restrictions that Apple places on app developers who want their apps to work with CarPlay. However, Waze & Google Maps on CarPlay has only be officially released for less than 2 weeks now so it would not surprise me that some tweaks to the interface are coming after more feedback is obtained from Waze & Google Map users.

(Unless I'm missing something... each time I start the BMW Nav and then switch to Waze the HUD directions stop. You can apparently show something Nav related in the split screen, so perhaps it's just another UI annoyance) |

Does iphone Waze notifications not come over on bluetooth?
If I have Waze open on my Android Moto phone... Waze notifications break in and come over the speakers "warning Police ahead" "hazard reported ahead" |

I am still playing around with the new CarPlay integration with Waze & Google Maps to see what is "in the art of possible". For example, one thing I noticed is that when a Google Maps alert comes in, the audio (i.e. radio, sat, etc) is completely muted until the alert is finished. But with Waze, the alert just lowers the volume of the background audio (like OEM navigation does).

i didnt have carplay in my 17 m3 and now have it in my 18 m3. my biggest issue is text messages. do you have to be on the car play screen to get a alert that you have a new text?
also, it seems like you lose the option of getting texts to show up in the idrive if you have car play? i turned off car play but i dont have the option to "sync notifications" in my bluetooth settings on my phone..

Thanks. Yes I have. If I’m in car play I see a notification. If I’m in the regular BMW menu I see nothing. Very frustrating
