Waze & carplay & wireless charger &&&...
First post and proud to be a full fledged member, as I anxiously wait for my DG M5C...Praying for a before xmas delivery
Have a multiple tech question on the wireless charger / waze / carplay functioning for an enlightened mind... I am a Huge Waze fan and plan on sticking to that. I currently have a very practical iphone xs holder which grabs on nicely on my air vent which only requires me to have a simple skinny 3M magnet inside my cover. So the questions are: 1- any big waze fans out there using it through carplay and having a good experience? Does it connect well, does it take a reasonable time to enter an adress/favorites etc, can you just throw the phone inside the wireless charger as soon as you walk into the spaceship or does it take time to connect idrive/waze and do you touch it frequently to get around to places? Not the most patient dude here. 2- the reason I Am asking is also because if the answer to the previous question is NO I will probably have to leave my phone in the vent holder again to use waze meaning I will also have to have a usb cable to charge it (waze=battery killer) and then the wireless charger becomes useless. Also, If I leave the magnet inside the iphone cover to be able to use the above mentioned iphone holder I will never be able to use the wireless charger because magnets and wireless chargers dont fall in love? 3- does someone have a magnet inside the cover and in that case are you able to still use the wireless charger? 4- can you charge the display key and iphone at same time? #ARRGGHfirstworldproblems Thank you |

Thank you. Do you open and acess waze through carplay or do you have to open waze on the iphone first etc? Is it a quick process? Wondering if I can just throw my iphone inside the charger compartment without having to use it at all...

I'd say the waze integration is about the only reason to use carplay as it functions well. I actually turned off carplay as I like how idrive functions better for most of my use, but I don't use waze a lot.

All through carplay. You can just keep your phone in your pocket and it works just fine.

Agree. Waze integration is smooth. Can search previous locations easily. As you know , no HUD.
With apple CarPlay. Text message play and respond is easy and effective. |

I use Waze on CarPlay daily. I just drop the phone into the wireless charger, and its out of sight, CarPlay takes over immediately and waze is available within seconds i would say.
i usually enter address with voice to Waze, one touch and talk to Waze. you can also report police/incidents from the iDrive screen very easily. Not sure about the magnet and wireless charger, did not try. Also, we don't get the display key here with the M5 so, can't answer this one as well, although i would say probably you can't charge both same time. good luck with your delivery, post pics please. |

Lots of Houston guys here! I saw a twin of my car going down Bellaire Blvd in Bellaire just this weekend.

Use waze everyday. Never take the phone out of my pocket. It's great. My only complaint is that I haven't found a way to see the list of turn by turn directions on CarPlay that you get if you touch the top banner on your iPhone screen.
