Nah...not gonna change our phones (and buy out the contracts) because 1 of the 4 cars we drive works better with Android. I'm not sure if my work car (Ford Escape) works with Android Auto. I'm sure my Challenger doesn't and the head unit in my wife's current car (Grand Cherokee) is an older Kenwood DVD model from long before AA (or CarPlay) even existed.
In my Challenger, I have my phone running Waze while the head unit has NAV on as well. Now, if I really wanted, I believe I could have Waze displayed on my head unit because I have a box that adds front and rear camera inputs. I'm pretty sure I could get a non-digital A/V output cable for my iphone and run it to the front camera input and it would give me Waze on the big display. I've hooked a GoPro up to it and showed it's output when I drove at Talladega. Pretty cool but hardly necessary. I have a front camera for it but haven't yet installed it. |

As far as I know, there's only one A/V adapter for current gen iOS devices and it's an HDMI out one. So that wouldn't work in your Challenger unless you can find another adapter that will convert HDMI to composite output. But even still that would only output the display. You would have to interact with it on your phone. About the same as those guys currently having Waze up on their phone but using the Apple Maps on CarPlay.

I keep reading about Waze coming to AA but it seems like not much more than wishful thinking and a lot of faith in the promise that it'll soon be here. Kind of like how Primestar told me every year they'd have the NFL Sunday Ticket package and after 6 or 7 years, still no NFL. I finally switched to DirecTV and had NFL immediately Quote:

Waze is definitely coming. It's in beta testing finally. They are definitely dragging their feet with it though. https://9to5google.com/2017/04/04/wa...-beta-testing/ Yea if you can get VGA out, then there are definitely adapters you can use. As for why Apple is they way they are, it's a culture of "we do it better and don't want to admit otherwise". Either that or they don't want to pay Google for Waze. Either way, childish behavior...but that's what I expect of them.
