I predominately use Waze for the speed cameras, hazard, mobile police and speed alerts and don’t know if this has been discussed before or if it is of interest but I would like to share how I get Waze voice alerts (over speed, hazards, speed cameras, police, traffic light cameras etc) through Bluetooth without having activated full link which at circa £200 is a ridiculous amount to ask for an activation key particularly when it says technology in my cars description.
Set up
My phone is an iPhone 7
Waze on phone
Select the alerts you want to receive
Set the sound output to “Bluetooth”
Car
Link car Bluetooth to phone
Put and leave lightening cable in usb 1 slot
In media source select usb as primary source
Operation
After getting in the car
Connect lightening cable to phone
Open Waze app on phone
Switch on ignition
From this point on my selected Waze alerts are voiced through Bluetooth and car speakers
If you want to set or adjust the volume this can be done during or immediately after an alert, or during a Bluetooth phone call.
This process and settings work a dream on my 2018 Mk 3 Leon 1.2 SE TSI Dynamic Technology
I hope this may be of use to anyone who like me uses Waze as a second line of defence to help with inadvertent speeding and hazard notifications.
