CarPlay issues with W213 and Waze

[Bobsta]

Hi folks,

I picked up a 67-plate W213 estate (so S213) Premium Plus with widescreen cockpit last weekend.
The car is otherwise awesome... but CarPlay is problematic. Two issues:
1) When running Waze, the speed is shown in km/h but labelled And treated as mph. This means that when you’re doing 60mph in a 60 limit, it shows as ~100 and flashes up telling you you’re speeding.
2) After about 15 mins running (typically with Waze, I haven’t tested with other apps) it starts getting quite laggy - position is shown about 15 secs behind. Then the image starts to glitch and break up. Then eventually the whole system crashes.

I’m running iOS 13.1.2 on an iPhone 7 Plus. And according to Mercedes Me, the software on the car is up to date.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi,

I have experienced some problems with Waze too using CarOlay with IOS 13.xx Mine were solved by deleting the App off the phone and doing a fresh re-install. A bit of a pain having to reconfigure preferred settings on the App again - but should resolve.

Good luck!
Richard

Thanks Richard. I've removed and re-installed Waze... it hasn't crashed since but equally I haven't done a long drive, so let's see.

It hasn't fixed the incorrect speed issue - that's definitely a bug. Whether I set Waze to use km or miles, the speed reading is always over by around 1.6x. Annoying, but not the end of the world.
