Nevermind, I found display settings to turn off "turn-by-turn graphics"


Preface: So even before getting a 2026 and having Android Automotive OS, I have always considered AA or CP to be a temporary hack until car makers figured things out. There's nothing magical about your phone. It's a device to log into accounts. No reason your car can't do the exact same thing without needing to project your phone via another small computer. It's just an inelegant solution.

That said, I would like to have Waze directions on the big screen and music showing on the right side of my instruments cluster in Sport mode. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. The car seems to want to control the right side on its own and it always puts directions there if you have directions active.

(Yeah, I know I can use AA but it looks dumb on the big screen and I shouldn't have to but maybe I still do)

Am I missing something?

I'd rather have AA than Google built-in which GM is pushing. GM software is awful along with most automotive manufacturers. The biggest benefit of AA and CarPlay is it's the same in every vehicle. UI is simple. Maps and music are all most people want.

I do agree it would be nice if the gauge cluster had maps. Other manufacturers have done this but I've not seen one well executed yet.
