Waze is a great traffic app, but it can sometimes be temperamental.

You get frustrated with Waze because it failed to alert you about this massive inconvenience. Well, luckily, there are some things you can do to fix Waze not working on Android Auto:
1. Update Waze App
First, you’ll want to update the Waze app. by going into your settings and tapping “update” on the Waze app. If you don’t see an update available, then there is no new version of their app–the feature is still working!
