ID light compatible with navigating in Apple/Google Maps?

Does anybody know whether the ID Light, which works with the onboard navigation to indicate an upcoming turn, will work when using Apple or Google Maps with CarPlay/Android Auto?

I'd like to know this for sure as well. I've read both that it does work, and that it doesn't.
This recent review suggests that it may..? https://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/volkswagen/2021-volkswagen-id-4-review-first-drive:
Android Auto and Apple Car Play, especially wirelessly, is amazing. The VW ID.4 is also the first vehicle I’ve driven where it’ll show turn-by-turn directions in the instrument cluster from an Apple Car Play or Android Auto sources like Waze or Google Maps.
I think @ID.Furkan confirmed that it works in the instrument cluster, but does not activate the ID.Light.
That's a bummer. It seems like, if the instrument cluster can recognize upcoming turns from a 3rd-party map, the ID.Light should be able to as well? Maybe a future update..?
