Apple just announced that it will, with the next iOS update (iOS 12) due later this year, allow other Maps Apps. This includes Google Maps and Waze. Finally!!!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

What would be even better is if those maps could show up in the digital cockpit. Both Apple carplay and Android auto don't do that in the VW world at least. -
Good news alright. Add to that, the Uber Driver app and it would be complete package.
Now all they need to do is to allow CarPlay Wireless access to the DiscoverPro head unit, to get rid of those unsightly cables. (OCD)

+1. Hate those unsightly cables. Pretty sure the DiscoverPro has the capability of wireless CarPlay but would need Apple's 'permission' to update it. If that happens, hopefully it's only a firmware rev.Originally posted by sharp View PostMY18.5 Tiguan - R-Line/DAP/Sunroof in Tungsten SilverComment

I don’t use the maps stuff, but has anyone tried this to get it in the AID? (I have a golf mk7.5)
Dashboard_Display_Configuration:
ability_switch_nav_maps:
Off
it may just be a different map for the car as I’m guessing using maps from your phone just displays the phone screen and audioComment

Does this mean the upgrades (google maps) will work on current MY18 Tiguans or do we need to pay to upgrade?
How does the updates work? Does an update need to be made to the car or just the iPhone?sigpicVW Tiguan 2018 162TSI Highline

Assuming you have Google maps installed on your iPhone, when ios12 becomes available, you just have to upgrade phone software at no cost. I understand that there will be more CarPlay apps available too. Waze being one of them also.Originally posted by anonymousmoose View PostMY18.5 Tiguan - R-Line/DAP/Sunroof in Tungsten SilverComment

How's Waze in Australia?
Waze (and even Google Maps) would be a great alternative via CarPlay to get realtime traffic information.
Shame it can't be displayed on the active display.Comment
