I'm a Waze Beta tester but they still haven't released the beta for Android Auto yet, I'm patiently waiting

I'm not paying for this but onstar has a 20 dollar unlimited Wi-Fi package a month now, instead of that crazy plan they used to have as much as cell phone bill

You can get a monthly 1 GB plan for $10/month. I mean, how much data are you really going to use on your phone in the car?

Can confirm. I'm beta testing it also, and haven't seen a thing.

Waiting . . . waiting . . . waiting . . .

FYI...there are two different betas a Waze one AND an Android Auto one. From what I have been reading, you will likely need to be signed up for both.

Yes there could be local broadcast Wifi with the phone being the Internet access, but then Chevy does not get any vig on the service. So I doubt Chevy will allow that. Or maybe the hardware will not. It would be nice for us though.

I'm a little late to the party. Having never tried Waze, what are the benefits to it?

Before google bought it Waze was the traffic app to have. The best feature on it is that other drivers can report speed traps, and other road hazards. Unfortunately once the google folks got their hands on it they started adding advertising nags when you stop at lights.

It's still among the best nav/traffic apps, it's just plagued with mobile advertising now...

If it uses WIFI it will be WIFI direct like what a GOPRO uses.

Still waiting but see no proof there is a AA beta going on. I'm in WAZE beta and have seen nothing for AA. HAs anyone actually seen any proof this will ever happen?

I am in the Beta too and it was mentioned by WAZE that they would let us know when the testing for the AA comes. That was the last i heard when i first signed up...

Still nothing, I'm signed up for both Waze Beta and AA Wazd beta, they still haven't released the AA beta yet. I still use Waze in my car but it's really annoying because sometimes it will come through the stereo and others times it won't. It seems like the Bluetooth with Chevy MyLink and Android Auto fight for control of my phone when plugged into the USB with Waze running. If I turn Bluetooth off on my phone, it will automatically turn itself back on when plugged into the USB

Android auto requires BT to be enabled. It automaticly enable it.
