Yes it has been in the garage still connected to wifi when I tried. I will give it a shot again and let you know. Thanks for the tip.
Well it is supposed to there are instructions on the Ford site. I however have had no joy in having it work.
Well I tried in just on Cell Service no wifi. With the same issue waiting for device. I didn't have time to delete and repair the phone I will try that next and let you know the outcome.
You can with iPhone. It requires you disable CarPlay. Then start the app on the phone and put it in the foreground. Leave the screen on. Go to the apps screen on SYNC, select Waze, then once it gets the cert, it'll ask you to allow access and that's it. The key is Apple requires anything pulling video to stay in the foreground, screen on. I just drop my brightness to min when I use it on the phone. I don't make calls in car almost ever either, so the issue of incoming call blocking the app in foreground isn't an issue. I only ever use the AppLink version as I'm a heavy USB music listener and I use voice for essentially everything. That's one benefit to it. Totally user dependent for which method is best.
OK, maybe that'll help. Also double check you have the latest Waze app. There are still some app side glitches, but lately it's been pretty solid when I've used it.
Yeah, I don't think the Nav apps currently work via AppLink on Android, so you're probably stuck using AA, or pushing prompts over Bluetooth and getting the notifications that way.
Hmm that's actually not a bad idea. I usually stream music over my phone using bluetooth, but I have Waze's sounds off... guess if I turn them on, it would work in a similar way. Thanks
No worries. It's not obvious and I had the same issue when I first started using the app.Thanks @mike I must have completely overlooked the option to stop Waze navigation. Good to know in the future. I decided to go a few extra miles past the destination to someplace else and it was really annoying having Waze keep telling me to turn around at every intersection.
I have the latest version of the Waze App. I deleted and repaired the phone even shutting it down before I repaired it. Still get the same waiting for device message, unsure why this is occurring. I may reboot Sync 3 to see if that helps. Thanks for you help.
You can give a reset a try, won't hurt other than the annoyance of setting things up again. It's probably that same issue I had where it can't fetch the security cert for some reason. Other than that, you'd see it if the app wasn't started, or if it wasn't in the foreground. Only other times I've seen it and the app itself was responding.
