Demo of iPhone Waze Navigation on 2017 Fusion

Recommended Posts

Finally.. the wait is over. Waze is now available for iOS device owners on Ford SYNC 3.

You'll need to update to the latest everything (see below).

 

Waze is free. Waze data is "crowd sourced" -- people on the road report accidents, police cars, and traffic jams -- which show up on your display in a minute or two (as compared to an hour with Sirius Traffic Link). It is a fantastic application (which is why Google bought it..).

 

Here is my report..

To get Waze to work on my Ford I had to disable Apple Carplay through the Ford SYNC 3 settings before anything would happen.

Activating Waze on the phone and plugging it in opened up new menus and displays - the key one being setting your default navigation software (a menu item that appears only when Waze is detected.

There were glitches, and one crash. For a while when I plugged in the USB on the phone I got the dreaded "Inserted USB is not detected" message. I soft rebooted SYNC 3 and power-cycled my phone and things straightened out.

Here is a demo video- sadly done in the garage instead of on the road (not safe to drive and film), but you get the idea..
