Waze has officially announced its integration with Apple CarPlay. As one of the first navigation apps on the platform, the Waze integration will allow millions of CarPlay users the opportunity to seamlessly use Waze features directly from their in-car display.
If your car or head unit is equipped with CarPlay, and you have the Waze app on your iPhone, just connect the device to the car with a USB cable or wireless connection for Waze to be displayed on the car’s touchscreen. The integration ensures that Waze’s features are specially tailored to the operating system and user interface of CarPlay.
The usual Waze features apply. One can go straight to home and work pre-programmed favourites, check routes before they head out, report incidents and receive visual and audio alerts to stay informed.
Malaysia is home to 5.9 million monthly active Waze users, most of whom have been using the app on their phones. This Waze-CarPlay integration would allow iOS users to use the app without mounting a phone on the dash, or looking at a small portrait screen, something that Android Auto users have long done away with. On most cars, this should improve safety.
Waze for Apple CarPlay will begin rolling out today.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
When you say connect iPhone to the car wirelessly; does that mean Carplay also works via Bluetooth now and not just by USB cable?
Depends on the headunits. At this point most still only provide car play via cable connection.
Proton cars got all this? Still backward and still ulu. Now you know why nobody buys Proton cars.
Why yes it does “…also available with kit such as an eight-inch display screen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility and lane departure warning.”

lol. Kantoi he did!
garmin sales will be harder nowadays.
Can only concentrate their sales on bicycle computers only.
Standalone GPS is quite dead except for those rugged extreme models or those with better than average smartpong receivers for faster connectivity. They shud look into integrating GPS unit and GoPro camera into 1 device.
weird that anyone would use Waze over Google maps. the real issue is that no navigation app is very good right now. Waze is a cartoonish mess, Google maps is slow
Using Apple navi will go straight to ‘holland’
