This CarPlay Dashboard feature only works on iOS 13 and iOS 14.
Waze has released a new update for iOS users. This update enables Waze to work in Apple CarPlay Dashboard. However, this feature only works on iOS 13 and iOS 14. Those using iOS 12 or older versions cannot use this feature. This means that Waze does not support CarPlay on iOS 12.
Waze has not explained the reason for not offering CarPlay support in iOS 12. Some users think that this decision is due to the acquisition of Waze by Google. Google has made its own navigation app Google Maps compatible with CarPlay in iOS 12. Therefore, preventing Waze from working with CarPlay on iOS 12 could be a strategy to increase Google Maps’ competitive advantage.
While Waze will not offer CarPlay support in iOS 12, this update could be useful for many iOS users running on iOS 13 and iOS 14. Waze is a popular navigation app with features such as traffic conditions, police alerts and fuel prices. Using Waze in the Apple CarPlay Dashboard allows drivers to manage their in-car entertainment system more efficiently.
