WAZE through Bluetooth

Has anyone using Waze on Iphone had success with Bluetooth? If I connect my phone as a bluetooth device it wants to play music. If I pause the music I get bluetooth device paused so no Waze. Second I try via USB cable and set the iphone as a device. Here I have some success, once again it plays a song from my phone, I can pause the song yet still be connected and Waze will play via the car speakers. However if I switch to radio or anything else I lose Waze again.

Waze works when playing music from the phone. The phone will mix in the guidance instructions. The Command system will be tuned to Bluetooth and this play them. If you switch to the radio input you don't get Bluetooth you get the radio.

There may may be a setting in Waze that it can issue its guidance instructions like it was a phone call and thus interrupt whatever command is tuned into. In my experience it is flaky and often the instructions are too late or cut off due to the time it takes to switch.

Integrated satnav provides the the greatest flexibility to me.

GLC300 Works With Waze

I have just figured out how to make it work with Waze! Go to: Sound&Voice, change sound output to Play as Bluetooth phone call! Voila!!

I assume you are making the adjustment with Waze on your phone? Apple or Android? I don't see that option on Waze for my Galaxy S7.
