Waze integration

Does anyone know if Waze can integrate with, and onto the Nav screen, either as stand alone, or through iPhone/ Bluetooth?

major doubt here as this would defeat the purpose of both the nav and the sirius traffic (advanced real time traffic) being offered. Now with a hack who know?

We can only hope that when BMW supports Carplay that Apple will approve Waze as a supported app. But since Waze is a Google app, it's not likely to happen. Best case is that Apple developed their own Waze app.

I had Waze on iPhone for ages now. Maybe even before it was avail on Android? It's a google app because google bought Waze way after the app had been out for a while. In fact I had it on iPhone before google bought them

As far as integration, we just have to hope BMW eventually supports car play. I'm tired of being tied to the crap/limited software the car manufacturers provide. They could do so much more

Hi maxzander, would you be so kind and share with us how you got waze to display on your iDrive from your phone?

I have been trying for a very long time to do that with no success...

Thanx!!!

I'm guessing with some sort of phone mirroring solution like this, as you can see the phone status banner in the pic above:

Through Airplay? Or a different path in settings?

I talked to a "BMW Genius" (at least that what it said on the back of his shirt ) last week at BMW Towson. I specifically asked about Waze. He looked in his booklet and could not find it. So, it is not one of BMW's officially supported apps.

As an aside, I'm trying to find out how to work with BMW to get iOS apps to work with iDrive, e.g. like Pandora and the GoPro app. I have an app in mind for this too.


Cheers.

there are plenty of mirroring options out there, Miracast is another, the best all come from Korea for some reason, there is a Korean company called "Qdis" that makes plenty of gadgets for retrofiting cars, Bimmertech seems to sell those too
