I've just installed a CarPlay head unit in my camper and wonder what other apps people use on it.
I didn't think waze would work fully on it but on the pioneer site they show it working?
I can't get beyond voice control with no display.

Any recommended apps?

Spotify works.

Waze doesn't, as you've noticed. Probably because google own a stake in Waze and Apple and Google don't get on.

That'll be through Pioneer's AppRadio display sharing system, which isn't the same as CarPlay, and requires a different adapter, annoyingly. You also can't easily switch between CarPlay and AppRadio apps.

Your instructions will refer to it as 'AppRadio Mode'. You'll need Apple's Lightning Digital AV adapter.

ETA: some (out of date) instructions here, find the part that talks about 'iPhone 5/5S/5C' https://www.pioneer-car.eu/uk/halfords/sph-da120

As above, Waza isn't supported by CarPlay, the only non Apple app that I use on it is TuneIn Radio.
