I think this was the most exciting part for me during WWDC! It’s been something I been wanting since CarPlay got announced! I used to use a pixel just to use waze in my car for navigation! I got the iOS beta 1 but neither of those apps are available yet on the CarPlay screen I wonder if google needs to update them first for CarPlay or will we have to wait until September

I assume you meant that they are visible in CarPlay because they are indeed available in the App Store.

I’m disappointed they aren’t yet available. This is the top feature for me. I have to rely on looking at my phone while having Waze sound through CarPlay.

Yeah same here, I will be traveling soon and would like to use that! But I don’t think it will be coming until iOS 12 officially launches

Guess I may have to get a CarPlay unit for my car.

Definitely makes it nice, and you don't have the issue of some head units having better UI than other brands. If it has CarPlay it will be the same ,at least when you are using that part of the head unit.

Hoping to try out Waze in CarPlay sooner rather than later. I would hate to have to wait until the fall (or worse yet, months after iOS 12 officially launches).
