Need help. I installed ver. 4.24.0.113 on my galaxy s5, it works fine on the phone. The Waze/Google Maps menu shows up, I choose Waze, it loads, I can voice an address to it, it speaks back, BUT the dashboard screen on my 2016 camaro is mostly black with a little car in the middle. Where a map should be is only black. When I unplug the phone, the phone screen is also black. If I then close Waze on the phone and reopen it, the map appears. I tried starting Waze first, then plugging it into android auto, but the screen is still black on the dashboard screen. Do I need to change a setting or is it just an item to be corrected from this beta version?

UPDATE - I reinstalled and it works fine. But one complaint: the street names are in such a small font, it's hard to read, even on an 8" screen, when you only glance at the screen as I want to keep my eyes on the road as much as possible (a lot of bad drivers in the New Orleans area!). Hopefully Waze will improve/enlarge the lettering in future releases.
Also, disable Waze auto update so 4.26 is not loaded over 4.23. This is done from play store.
