I do not currently have these problems with my unit, but I think I know why this is.
I had updated Google Maps a while ago to the latest version. That completely broke Gmaps; it would constantly crash. I did some research and it appears that anything above version 9.42.3 of Gmaps would break it. From what I understand, it's a bug with Google Maps and the way it interacts with this setup. Once I did an OS reflash back to the an older version of Google Maps (kept my settings and apps), it worked fine again. It has been working fine since I restored a version of the OS that had the older Gmaps on it.
EDIT: I'm stupid - I completely ignored the part about you using Waze, not Google Maps. Well, my statement stands; I do not have the problems you described. Try doing a factory reflash of your OS and see if that eases your issues. I also have numerous firmware updates that you can try; let me know if you want to try them and I'll get them uploaded somewhere for you.

Oh yeah current Gmaps versions just do not work with these headunits. It's the same case with the headunit in my Mazda and is what initially pushed me to Waze. I can never go back from Waze now, especially with how well it integrates with Spotify.
And really the unit works flawlessly for trips that are <2 hours. I mean I can load it down with apps running simultaneously and it doesn't even skip the music. Some slight lag in the DVR is the worst that I've seen under normal operation. It's just that when it goes down...man...it goes down hard and cannot get back up.
I'll check on my return window and see how long I have to keep messing with it.
The wife's wagon has a Dynavin N6 and the preloaded nav is worthless. Give me Waze or give me death.
Is this the correct relocation mounting bracket for our cars? Part no. 51167001410

Anyone futz around with the software? Been an Android user for a while, done plenty of rooting and loading custom ROMs... Wonder if anyone here has jumped in here:

Apologies if I missed this, but does this unit require any cutting for non-Nav HK cars? I understand the HVAC controls have to be relocated. Thanks.
