What would android auto have to do with charging... you're plugged up to the cable and charging anyway..

...OK now we're talking. I depend on Waze to get home every day in heavy traffic. I have 3 different routes that Waze figures out very well for me.

Android Auto would just monopolize my phone where I couldn't use Waze until I unplugged. I do use the map on Android Auto which has a lot of Waze functionality already but definitely not as good.

If you are impatient like me you can grab the APK and install it if you have the technical knowledge to install an unsigned app.
The information below was found at reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto
Waze Beta .113 has the Android Auto capabilities and can be found at: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/waze/wa...0-113-release/

I know what you mean. I open Waze first, then plug in. Android Auto will start, then I can use my "recents" button to pull up apps that have run/are running and select the Waze app.

This way, Android Auto is still up on my dash and Waze is up on my phone. YMMV, depending on what phone you have, but it should be similar for every phone.

It's working pretty good, there are some issues with it, but it's still in early beta.

Guess I need to find the recents button. I cannot get apps to pull up, period and normally just un-plug. I have S8

Your recent button is the left one if you haven't changed it. Looks like to L's on top of each other.

The S8 wont let you use the recents button with Android Auto.

Older than Nougat OS's do. Consider it a bug that you used to be able to do it as you're not supposed to be able to do anything on the phone directly when using AA.

I use a custom launcher on N (Nova Launcher), which seems to allow this.
