http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/waze/waze-waze/Waze - GPS, Maps & Traffic 4.24.0.113 beta
Do note it is a BETA version, so download at your own risk!
Installation Guide:
1.
Install Android Auto (latest v2.3.7166) and Waze beta above on your phone.
Delete your current Waze before installing the Beta version.
2. Launch Android Auto and Waze on your phone first - agree to terms of use, rate app etc2.
3. Use a USB Cable
(mandatory) to connect your phone to your HU (1.5A on Driver side USB Port).
4. Click on the "Navigation Icon" on the bottom left of Android Auto to change from Google Maps to Waze. Enjoy Waze on Android Auto!
If you have any problems to use Waze on Android Auto, try:
1. Restarting both your HU & Phone
2. Close/Stop both Android Auto & Waze. Then launch Android Auto & Waze without connecting to the HU. Might have an uncleared pop up (terms of use, rate app etc).
3. Uninstall both Android Auto and Waze. Follow the above installation steps again.
Known Issues (From Beta Forum):
1. Voice commands: Custom Waze voice actions, like “Report Accident”, “Send ETA”, “Stop Navigation” are not yet supported.
2. Waze voice prompts are not muted while Android Auto speaks.
3. Auto zoom issues on high resolution screens
4. Noticeable lag when triggering an Android Auto voice command when Waze is not opened on the head unit yet
5. Waze terms need to be accepted on the phone after each new install (need notice on car screen instead of crash)
6. In some cases of car camera turning on (reverse, etc..) Waze closes and needs to be reopened again.
Anyone using Oppo F1 and facing problems even after following the above guide? If anyone with Oppo successfully able to get Android Auto to run on the HU, please do share. Appreciate it much!
How about apple car play, any issues? If I still cant get my Oppo to work, might have to dig my old ipad mini out sigh...
