I wonder if it has to do with certain phone/car combinations. I have a Google Pixel XL

Wow, yes, pics please.

Here you go. The irony is they sent me an email saying the beta would not work on Audi...

There are a few bugs, like when the popup for traffic comes up it's hard to see where the selector is. And a couple of times it's got all confused and just canceled out my route altogether.

When you do an 'ok google' or press voice button, it says 'OK, handing off to Waze'. It appears to take your last known navigation preference. I assume (but not tried) that if I said 'navigate to X using google maps' it would revert.

Well, that certainly is interesting. I wonder if the Waze beta at the link you posted actually has the AA capability or whether a different version must be obtained.

I'm in the beta too.. Works ok on the A4 but it's still very buggy.

So did you get the email that said, "Stop reading here if you're an Audi or Mercedes owner."? If so, did they give you a follow up email saying it could now be used for those brands? Perhaps it's buggy because you're using a version that wasn't intended for the A4? This is all very confusing.

Yep, I got that email and said screw it..

The reason Audi/MB users are excluded is because we don't have a touch interface. I've found that there are some menus the the MMI can't get to and end up getting "stuck". But just viewing the map and navigating to a favorite destination works fine. There are still some zoom and destination input issues though. I would wait until they clean it up a bit more.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Theres a reason they are calling it a "beta" test.

I downloaded the latest Beta on my Galaxy S7 Edge but I can't see it coming up in AA. Is there something special that you have to go to get it to work or is it just the phone/car combination?
