I have an iPhone, but itโ€™s the same; No navigation info for Waze on the speedo / dashboard, unlike the built-in sat nav, and Google Maps.

Rest assured, youโ€™re not alone ;-)

Itโ€™s down to whether the application uses the CarPlay/AndroidAuto APIs that pass this information on to the carโ€™s navigation display system. Some do (eg Google Maps), some donโ€™t.

Waze on Android seems to work fine, with the turn display shown to the right of the MPH display.

However, it tends to show a sharp left at roundabouts to indicate that you have to turn off somewhere, even when that is effectively a right turn, which I suspect is a mistake.

Based on a few comments above, it sounds like Google Maps should display navigation information in the right hand panel of the digital instrument cluster (and HUD?) in the same way as the Enyaq's built-in navigation system. However, I tried Google Maps through Apple CarPlay, but nothing came up on the digital instrument panel (or HUD). Am I missing something or is this a specific Android Auto feature that does not work with Apple CarPlay?

So just been put and threw waze on to get an image and the instructions worked the entire journey all be it only 3 miles but no issues.

I'm assuming AA or Waze has updated in the last few days and possibly fixed the issue or was this just a fluke ?
