Got questions about the built-in version of Waze?

I can't scan the QR code

There may be an issue with your camera scanner. Try to download an app to scan QR codes.

Do I need to install Waze on my phone to use it?

Yes. You need to install the Waze app on your phone and create an account. Once you sign in to the built-in version of Waze for the first time, you can drive with Waze without your phone.

Note: The mobile version of Waze offers features and settings that aren't currently available on in-car systems. Once you set your preferences on your phone, they'll update on your built-in version as well.

How do I install Waze on Android Automotive (AAOS)?

Waze is pre-installed on some car models with AAOS. If you don't see it, and you have access to the Google Play Store from your AAOS system, you can search for Waze and download it.

If your system doesn't allow access to the Google Play Store, there's unfortunately no way to download Waze to your car.

Do Waze voices and car icons work?

They do, but you can only select them from the Waze app on your phone.

Do Waze moods work?

They do, but you can only select them from the Waze app on your phone. When you use the built-in version of Waze, your mood is only visible to other Wazers, but not to you.
