CarPlay and Waze

I do believe it's affecting people with wireless carplay. Ever since 15.2 wireless carplay will not auto launch anymore for me after about a minute after driving. Now google maps does launch but it's just a black picture and only by opening google maps on my iphone 13 pro max and then closing it, will google maps return to normal. Having said that, it only happens like 50% of the time. I think I saw it somewhere on youtube that 15.2 is putting something to sleep to conserve energy or something like that.
On my 2 iPhone 12 pro Max phones in my 2019 Subaru (wired CarPlay and google maps also affected) I’ve had to go to settings>general>CarPlay and forget the offending vehicle and then reconnect it. This works for a while but isn’t permanent. My 2016 Chevy truck isn’t having this issue, just the subaru.
Had a play this morning and started Waze on my phone prior to plugging in and it started up fine, picked up location no issue and then worked as expected on my journey. Seems it could be an issue starting it via CarPlay although its the only thing that doesnt work. Apple Maps and Google Maps work fine starting from CarPlay and have no connection issues to two different cars.
I'm finding that if i plug the phone in and then launch Waze from the CarPlay screen or phone the map is either stuck where Waze was last used or it has my location but doesnt load all the map and as you move it doesnt update to show you moving. If i start Waze prior to plugging in to the car it works fine both on the phone and Carplay.
I can use both Apple Maps and Google Maps with no issue so it seems to be limited to Waze.
I have had the same issue with Waze for a while too, I have pretty much moved to apple maps. I really wish Waze would fix the issue, I have wireless carplay in my car '22 Tuscon, but my wife has a 19' Kona with wired carplay and I would have the same issue
For me this sort of thing happens only when I quit Waze completely (press on its power button in the app, so it goes to “sleep”). If this is the case, it fails to awaken from the CarPlay as well and I end up with a screen like this:
However, if Waze is “not asleep” and keeps tracking my movements behind the scene, it works. ??♂️
Yeh that probably is what happening with mine aside from if i quit it completely and try starting it again from CarPlay it still doesnt load properly, it needs to be started from the phone without it plugged into the car.
As a slight aside it seems somehow my CarPlay customisations have managed to reset at some point. Went it to remove an app last night that was now CarPlay enabled after an update and it was all blank, went back in and it had reset to show everything in CarPlay so now need to set them up again for the two cars i use.
Mine, so far, has been working. No freezes, yet. I do have a suspicion that Waze will need to update the app to fix any lingering issues.
Yeah since a first hick up it’s working much better, after all it was a iOS issue where I thought it was an app one, glad 15.2.1 fixed it, Waze on CarPlay is working well now
