Waze in the BMW instrument cluster, not just the centre screen
On many iDrive 7 BMWs, Waze through CarPlay or Android Auto only shows on the central screen. The cluster behind the wheel still only shows BMW navigation. Getting Waze directions into the digital cluster is the thing people ask us for most.
Where the head unit, the cluster type and the software allow it, we set it up, so you stop glancing at the centre console at every junction. In person, or remotely over an ENET cable.
What you see in the cluster
- The turn arrow and direction of the next manoeuvre
- Distance to the manoeuvre and the street name
- Lane guidance, where Waze provides it
- Smooth handover between the central screen and the cluster
Which cars
We focus on BMWs with iDrive 7 (MGU unit and Live Cockpit Professional): 3 Series G20, 4 Series G22, 5 Series G30 with MGU, X3 G01, X5 G05, X6 G06, X7 G07, 8 Series and the matching M cars.
The phone you use matters too. Two cars from the same year can have different units or software, so we check yours first.
