Waze not available on AppRadioMode and Weblink form end of March 2019

Waze will not be available anymore on App Radio Mode (ARM) and ABALTA WebLink from the end of March 2019.

 

Q. Will WAZE icon be removed from the display of AppRadio Mode?

A. Yes, it will. Please refer to "Display Image (AppRadio) below for detail.

However,if there is the icon as History on the Home screen (incl. the tab that a customer can call from the button for smartphone connect at the left bottom on the Home screen), it still remains after the update.
When it is pressed, we assume that it causes black screen since Waze would not be compatible with ARM anymore.
This remained icon can be removed when a smartphone with different OS from previous connection is connected. (ex. iOS Device -> Android Device / Android Device -> iOS Device...)

 

Q. Aren't there any agreement with Waze for maintenance servece or advance notice?

A. We don't have any agreement with Waze. Based on mutual trust, we've developed the functions.

 

Q. If a customer would not update Waze app, would it be possible to keep using it?

A. We are planning to update the server which AppRadioMode Launcher and WebLink Host App connect to, about compatible apps, at the timing of Waze update, so customers will not be able to use Waze app after the server update even if they would not update Waze to the latest version.

 

Q. Are there any other map applications (ex. Google MAP/IGO, etc.) that would be compatible with?

A. We are negotiating with Sygic (charged navi app) but we haven't concluded yet on certain condition because they requested us about development cost and exclusive promotion (need cost).

 

Q.What kind of apps/services will be available on WebLink?

A. For 19 models, we are planning as below:
Yelp, Zomato, YouTube, Media Player, Video Player
*We are developing "Amazon Alexa App (tent. Name)" for UC models.

Q. What do you meen "Waze will not be available on ARM and WebLink from the end of March?"

A. Waze informed us that some code in the app for ARM and WebLink will be deleted on and after the end of March, so, unfortunately, we assumed that customers (even current ARM users) would not be able to use Waze on the head units after that timing.
