Waze available as a native AAOS app

Installed! I had to search for it. It was not under "Explore All Apps" at the time, but now it is.

I just installed it. Unfortunately it has no integrated music app, which is nice feature in phone version. If you search for chargers it comes with a list - so there is no problem. But the question is, and I am sure that we all want answer on that question is the preheat function working? I already said that starting preheat function integrated with Google maps will bring trouble.. It is a shame that we do not have preheat button to start preheat independed of navigation app...

Actualy my preffered navigation app on phone is Sygic. It has few nice features which you do not have on other apps, for instance list of rest stations on the highway and distance to them, offline maps... It is payed app, but for the phone the price is ok. There is a version for AAOS, but it is very basic and they want 3 times more money than mobile version. So I discarted it after first drive. But, I use it on Android Auto (over Ottocast) and this works perfectly. Sygic is on the middle screen, together with music app, voice is set just for alerts (for speed cameras), and Google maps works in the same time on instrument screen vith voice navigation. Perfect combination. Will try Waze next days to see if that works good for me.

Not a bad first attempt. It's sometimes hard to not compare the two but the significantly more polished phone app has had so many years of refinement. So it's apples versus oranges.

I'm not a fan of the way the map shifts your vehicle based on the info boxes. If rather have some more translucent boxes then ever touching where my vehicle aligns on the map.

The UI seems very basic and maybe even unfinished at this stage. Might be my own fault to not be able to separate the car vs phone.

I'm happy at launch it syncs with your phone Waze account. Should be expected but sometimes what you think should be commonly expected just leads to disappointment so happy that's there. I guess it was essential given you can't really change a lot of the preferences/customizations in the car and still need the phone app.

I'm pleased that they are attempting to design it for the car versus something like porting over the phone version. I feel like this opens future possibilities to having the best possible car experience.

I really dislike not having a map on my instrument panel with a route set. I didn't realize how much I used it until now because I kept looking over to the center display. Even with the phone Waze, I set it and then usually turn off the phone screen. Having a big screen when I need to look for routes or check the traffic is still a huge improvement.

Overall, very happy so far with this first attempt after about 100 kilometers.
