Default Waze app on Android Auto

Hello all!

I just want to start off by saying I have been an long time lurker and finally have signed up because I need some help. After a search on the interwebs and on this site I didnt come across a solution to my issue. I just purchased an 2020 NX F Sport and it came with Android Auto. I tried to use Waze on AA and it doesnt show up in the car screen. I can see waze selected in the app on the phone as to display it. Anyone has any thoughts? Just to test it out I borrowed an Iphone and Waze work with Apple Carplay. Thanks for the help.

Make sure everything is updated to the latest version (Android itself, the Waze app, etc).

Also, do other navigation apps work such as Google Maps?

After a longer look on the webs I found out that Lexus doesn't support Waze for AA at this time. Basically Waze needs to update the app to make it work on Lexus AA. This is a posting from Lexus I found. I guess there is a work around my forcing AA to go into developer mode to make Waze load and work. I tested it out and it does make Waze work but its really glitchy... it updates the GPS every 10-15 seconds or so. Some times I have already made the turn before Waze catches up. oddly enough Waze is supported for Apple carplay or Lexus enform 2.0 via Waze app. I guess android get no love at the moment... If you guys want more info on what I found I can link the Lexus page and the work around link. Its late and im tired and lazy to digg all that info up now... lol.

what a surprise that AA is limited by Toyota not the software company.

Link to Lexus working on an update to add Waze.
