My free subscription to Uconnect recently expired, so I deleted the app.

I went to use WAZE and got this message below. Anybody else ever get this message?

Do I suppose to have UConnect app on while using WAZE or any other GPS app for that matter? I wouldn't think I need the Uconnect app.

Interesting… Waze doesn't even have a dependency, so why it's requiring Uconnect is beyond me.

The app on your phone said you needed Uconnect? Or were you able to download Waze to Uconnect? All I see in the Uconnect store is WiFi and assistance

Whenever I use Waze I just open the app and it connects through my Bluetooth.

I deleted the UConnect app last night as the description expired.

I went to use WAZE via Bluetooth this morning and while I was in WAZE that message popped up

Update. I just went to try it again with the Uconnect app installed and got this message and I have NO SOUND from the gps app. The gps app works. I'm connected via Bluetooth and I have no sound.

So frustrating

I just noticed that on mine.

How do I get to listen to the radio and have WAzE work over the speakers at the same time.

Right now I can only get Waze to play through the truck speakers when I'm connected to MEDIA, but when I do that I can't listen to the radio.

I wish I could get Google maps or Waze to come through the speakers while I was listening to the radio. I am on a pixel XL

I run Google Maps and hate that it does not play the sound unless I am on media.

I had to change the setting in Google Maps to output to my phone and not BT.

How did you do that? I can't find it but that would work

With google maps opened....

Hit the 3 bars on the top left of text area.
go to settings
navigation settings
turn off "Play voice over Bluetooth"


I tried looking for something in Waze like this, but there is no option.

This is probably really dumb question, but i'll ask anyways.

Are you able to put Waze on your uconnect, or are you all running it from your phones? When I go to the uconnect app-store, the only option I have is to ad a 3G wi-fi hotspot to my truck for an incredible cost per day.

Am I missing something, should there be other apps appearing in my uconnect store?

Thx.
