If Waze or other apps aren't working on your phone and you've already tried the fix in this video, try these other options:
1. Under Location Settings --> Permissions make sure that Waze (or other app) is changed to Always Allow
2. Change the battery optimization setting to Unrestricted instead of Optimized
3. Uninstall Waze (or other app) and install an earlier release - you might have to sideload the APK file. Seems like some people are having issues with the updated version
Worked on my Subaru, thanks so much for the detailed guide very well done. ❤ initially it said phone not supported but by activating developer mode it finally worked.
You're welcome, glad the video helped!
you are a lifesaver!! thank you so much . i was annoyed when only google maps was show on android auto. was not expecting you need to "add" the app manually
You're welcome! Kind of a pain that it doesn't just work for sure
Thanks very much for that - clear instructions and easy to follow, and the bonus - it worked !
You’re welcome! Always good when it actually works
Awesome info ! Thanks Steve 👍
Thanks John!
I have s24 ultra. It worked for me when i changed battery optimization to unrestricted in waze application info. thanks!!!
Awesome, good to know that fix is still working. Cheers!
Brilliant. Method worked on a 2024 Toyota Hiace. Thank you Steve !
You're welcome!
Very helpful! Thank you, be healthy!❤
You're welcome, appreciate that!
You, Sir, are a legend. Thanks for this
Haha you're welcome!
friend, thanks for this video, you helped me a lot, I'm waiting for more videos from you with other cards, AMIGO
You're welcome Yiannis, glad the video helped!
No blabla just to the point ....thank u
You're welcome!
Thanks man! 👍
You're welcome!
this worked. thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Dude!!! Your the bomb!
Haha thanks!
This worked. To enable waze on android auto launcher by allowing unknown sources from developer options
Good to know!
Is it possible to make Waze default over Google Maps when we connect? Thanks so much in advance!
Android Auto should default to whatever map application was opened last on your phone. You could try to set it as the default map app in Settings --> Apps --> Default Apps
Hi. Is this possible to connect without a cable?
Depends on which car you're in. This video was shot in the Ford Maverick which only has the option for Android Auto via USB.. some manufacturers support wireless while others are still wired
I have Waze on the list but it's still not showing in AA... nevermind. I followed the instructions in the pinned comment regarding location permissions. Working again.
Awesome, I was just about to mention that!
I didn't know about developer options for AA! thanks for the info!
My issue with Waze is that it auto starts every time I connect my phone to my car. I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Even when force quit it on the phone, it automatically turns back on! I don't need to use Waze all the time for my daily commutes. It consumes my precious data, as I'm on a prepaid plan. Any walk around to how to disable the auto start? thanks
You're welcome! Surprisingly Waze auto starting is a bug that developers know about but it doesn't seem like there's an easy fix available yet. Some people have tried setting Google Maps as their default map application or you could just disable Waze completely until you need it again. If Waze does push out an update that I catch, I'll swing back to update on it!
Just turn off gps location on your phone, the head unit will just tell you to enable location and will not load maps until you do. Thats what i do to conserve battery too as dont need to view maps to go to and from work every day
What about other app like TH-cam?
TH-cam music can be added but Android Auto doesn't currently support TH-cam video playback
Since the 1st march update of android auto, it seems even using this method to try and get waze on custom screen, waze can not be viewed on my head unit, was working perfectly prior to update tho. And ideas?
There's a pinned comment on this video that talks you through changing battery optimization settings. Look for the comment and give that a try
Thankyou for your help, had changed these, but missed the one that removes permissions if unused for 1 week, turned that off now so saves settings, hopefully
you're welcome!
I just went to the whole process, and then I noticed the phone needs to be plugged in😅
That's going to depend on which car you have! Some support wireless Android Auto while others are wired.. but the wireless versions are backwards compatible
Did not work with Samsung 23 Ultra and brand new Pioneer car stereo professional install. Yes, I tried developer mode
Under Location Settings --> Permissions make sure that Waze is changed to Always Allow. Could also try changing the battery optimization setting to Unrestricted instead of Optimized. If that doesn't work, uninstall Waze and install an earlier release - you might have to sideload the APK file. Seems like some people are having issues with the updated version.
That issue was happening to mee on the same Samsung Galaxy s23 plus, I unrestricted the battery and it worked, thank you so much for your help 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome, I'm going to have to pin a comment with that fix!
@carswithsteve - it didn't seem as straightforward as that, I had to do a few things. However, you definitely add me on the right path and ultimately I got ways on to the stereo.
YOU ARE APPRECIATED
@CarsWithSteve - question for you. Even though I connected my phone contact list to the Pioneer 3800 NEX, it doesn't seem to recognize any of my contacts. If I say make a call, it will say who do you want to call, and I say a person's name and it just comes back and says something went wrong. If I say I want to send a text that says who do you want to send it to, I could say a different person's name in my contact list, and it won't work. If you could help that would be immensely appreciated.
hey brother my waze app doesn't show on android auto did u download on the play store or its the 3rd party app bro
I downloaded the app from the play store! Download the app first and if it's not showing, then follow this video
yea bro wen i download from the play store it shows on android auto but wen i download from 3rd party app it does not show. Do u know to fix that bro.
If you've already downloaded Waze onto your phone, follow the steps in this video. There's also a pinned comment with other options if the steps in this video don't work
For some reason the only way I can get Waze works on my Audi is with a cable connection. I have to set the destination on my phone on Waze, then plug in using a cable. Then waze will show on my in car AA launcher. TH-cam music wont show up at all. I followed your steps to no avail. So frustrating that AA has blocked these apps.
Have you tried the pinned comment on the video to see if that fixes it? I haven't started reviewing Audi yet but I'll keep this in mind when I do
Okay can I add Samsung app to my android Auto? if so ..How?
Which app are you trying to add in to Android auto? Samsung has a boat load of built in apps...
Hi how to use uber app on anroid auto plz help
I think the Uber Driver app was recently added to the Google Play Store. If you have the app on your phone this process should enable it. If it's still not showing, check out the pinned comment on this video that talks you through a few other things you can do
Hi mate I still can't use uber on anroid auto . Still it doesn't show on my car screen
There's a pinned comment on this video that talks you through changing battery optimization settings. Look for the comment and give that a try
Galaxy s10e, Android 12 doesn't show Waze
Assuming Waze is installed on your phone? Have you followed the directions in the video to get your phone into developer mode?
Dude, you need to get a (new) 90° USB plug
Haha I picked up a new braided one recently. The OEM one was hurting a bit
Doesn't work. You can't get into developer mode on latest android versions.
Could just be a temp bug.. have you tried the other suggestions in the pinned comment?
At time 2:35. I see Android Auto is just as flaky on your car as it is on mine.
Haha yes it is!
Not working man
Did you try the other steps in the pinned comment as well?
It worked here. Thank you very much.
You're welcome, glad it worked for you!
