Google maps was recently updated and is showing up on CarPlay - Waze isn’t yet for me.

In addition to the latest iOS, you also need to download the latest update of Google Maps (it should be version 5.0.xxxx). The next update to Waze that should support CarPlay is rumored to be scheduled for release sometime in October...

Settings/General/CarPlay/ switch the app on for CarPlay.

I’ve used CarPlay before so I know how to turn it on, or just simply plug the cable to the phone and it automatically comes on, but Waze nor Goggle Maps will display. I just updated the google maps app and I’ll try later to see if that works. I was thinking there would be an icon on the screen for either but there isn’t.

Waze is in beta testing and car play functionality won't be available before October. I used google maps yesterday, so I know it works.

I’ve used Google Maps the last couple days. Haven’t had any problems.

I do wish it had integration into the virtual cockpit or even the HUD when providing directions. Regardless the software is still light years better than the native Audi nav system. Moving around on the map is still clunky. The trackpad should control scrolling around the map and the dial should adjust zooming, but you are still forced to click on navigation arrows to pan and zoom.
