Why can't I get audio alerts on Waze?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I absolutely cannot get audio alerts to activate. I have Google maps normally up on my IDrive screen and sometimes a visual display will show from Waze but even that doesn't always happen. What am I doing wrong here? I prefer to have Google Maps on but not if I won't get cop alerts.

Same here, so nothing wrong on your side.
I may get audio alerts on waze only if I set a destination, but not sure I always get

I love NOT having audible alerts from Waze, or any navigation system for that matter... How can I hear it over the Bee Gees on blast?

I don't want to have to be navigating somewhere for this to work. Stupid. Oh well....

That's odd....even when you don't have a destination set?

This seems to be true. In my old car, just having the app running enabled alerts but it did not have Apple CarPlay. I wonder if its an Apple CarPlay/Waze compatibility issue. This is from the Waze site...."Waze on CarPlay is a limited version of the app. Some features might not be available".

Just confirmed yesterday that my Waze audio alerts do work even when not actively navigating to a destination. It notified me to a police trap.

It seems hit or miss to me for audio alerts...in other words, not bulletproof enough to rely on it when it comes to cops. I'll just keep looking at the screen.

Are you using Apple CarPlay? Can you please post screenshots of all your settings on phone and car regarding Waze? I emailed Waze directly and they confirmed that you have to enter a destination in Waze to get alerts including cop alerts. Very strange.

Vid from Waze also states navigation required to get alerts, dammit.

Alerts definitely worked for me. I was driving home from the golf course and not using navigation destination. Just had the Waze map on my screen. |

My Waze alerts were working again today without navigation. I wasn't even actively using the app. The car was displaying the BMW map but I got a police alert from Waze anyway.
