It is still in beta testing - with the new IOS release waze in conjunction with google maps, who bought them are doing beta runs on the setup.

Should be soon I hope.

The new version of Waze with CarPlay compatibility released this evening (24-Sept-2018) through the App Store. It may take a bit for the changes to distribute throughout the content delivery network, but it works for me. Will see how it works in the morning..

That's awesome, do you get the voice alerts like normal and everything? All from wireless carplay right?

You do get the normal voice alerts and can even indicate when an alert/warning is correct via the touchscreen console in the F90. Works really well.

Tried it out tonight and works great. I've been wanting this integration ever since using waze years ago.

How does Waze compare to google maps? Do they use the same routing engine since they're both owned by google?

I believe the routing engines are different as waze also relies on user input from community to determine best routes. The big benefit is that the user community also provides their input with regard to traffic, accidents, road debris, police (my favorite part), etc. Other users can then verify whether such notification is correct or still present. Basically a gps with a large social influence.

This is the best new feature not broadly talked about with the F90.

I love the new CarPlay Waze on my M5, but how did you get it to have xm on the right with CarPlay on the left, just split screen in options?

Are you able to configure the "map" button in iDrive to default to Waze/Google Maps instead of Apple Maps? I've tried deleting Apple Maps completely but then the button just does nothing.

Click the idrive to the right side of screen, tap idrive controller down, this should give you the ability to scroll through your options of what you can display
