Waze in HUD

Is this possible?
I’ve been playing around with the settings and I can’t seem to find it.. so I fear it’s not. It’s so good for the police notifications.

Not possible. HUD isn't capable of projecting CarPlay pixels.

I get Apple Maps in the HUD, but not Waze.

It is in iDrive 7 with late 2020 firmware.
iDrive 6 is not and won’t be.

You don't need it in the HUD as Waze gives verbal notifications of police.

Even though I don't use its navigation feature (as it has a tendency to direct me down too narrow London streets), I keep it running in the background while using iDrive's nav.

Just the other night it warned me of police presence on a road that never normally has any and lo' and behold, there was a guy with a mobile laser speed gun...

My Waze shows directions in the HUD. I have an LCI, so that might be different on prior versions of i Drive.

I do not believe this is possible. Only Apple Maps will show on HUD. Do you have pics of Waze on HUD? I also have 2021 model.

Agreed, if there is some secret Waze setting we have missed, please share.

Question on this, do you have to plug a destination in for the police alerts? Or will it just notify within a certain proximity?
Thanks.

You do not need to have a destination active, to get the alerts about stuff like police, construction and etc.

You can just be driving along with waze on, and it will give you all those alerts.

Great, that will do the job nicely. I’m debating a radar detector but I don’t know that I like how it looks. Waze + a lighter foot will have to suffice.
Thank you.

the latest sw update will show apple in HUD in pre-LCI (at least the 2020). Still won't show in the digital display but its something. I dont nor ever will use apple maps over waze or google but its something.

waze will also NOT show in HUD. Only apple provides support for its proprietary navigation sw and its deal with BMW (apple key support etc).

I wish these car OEMs would learn that the lockout deals they do with Apple actually lose them sales. I loathe iphones personally and would never buy a car that does not have Android Auto. Porsche lost out for that reason and BMW previously lost out because they didn't have it either.

There is not lockout deal with Apple. There are new bmws with both Apple CarPlay and Android auto. They are implementing Android Auto slowly. Problem with Android auto is that they got to support so many different phones, unlike Apple.

It's the problem with Android Auto being so behind Apple CarPlay. Not BMW's fault.

The OEM vendor like BMW does not need to support many phones. It's android auto that supports the phones out of the box. If the phone is running android of a late enough version, it just works with Android Auto. The car manufacturer doesn't have to do anything.

Apple does OEM deals like this with exclusivity for a period of time. I'm in the industry - I know how they operate...
