Update (6/6):Numerous members of the Waze Beta Program are now reporting that Waze for Android Auto is live. Below you can find the email beta testers have been receiving from the Waze team about the Android Auto rollout (viaAndroid Police):
Original post (5/30):It’s been almost two months sinceWaze announced beta testing for Android Auto, and it looks like the beta release is finally ready.
For those of you who are in the Waze Beta Program,you probably received an email around two months ago, inviting you to be a part of the beta testing for Waze Android Auto. While many rejoiced at the news, unfortunately, the email didn’t specify when the beta testing would start or when the app would be released for the public. Well, we now have more information regarding the former. In an email sent out to beta testers, Waze outlines how to use the beta version of Waze on Android Auto:
Beta testing for Waze on Android Auto (AA) is getting closer!! :) Please readeverythingbelow if you’re interested in testing.

Please note:
According to9to5Google,an anonymous source sent this in, and it tells us a few important things: the beta release of Waze will be available through the Play Store, and Waze will be explaining in the future just how it plans to collect user feedback from beta testers before the official launch. As the email explains, you will need to ensure that your Centercode profile is updated accordingly and that you have an Android phone running Lollipop or higher.
Although Waze for Android Auto isn’t quite ready for the general public just yet, the release of the beta version is a sign that the big launch might be closer than we think.
