From which year bmw supports CarPlay? I’m asking because I have a 428 2014

How do you handle multiple phones. I have to force connect for my wife’s phone every time she wants to drive.

One quick question. How come my iPhone didn’t prompt me to ask if I allow car play? Am I missing something

Thanks for info on using it after setup - most videos stop after the initial setup. Seeing some usage helps decide if it's worth the effort.

For a 2022 BMW X5, when using Apple CarPlay maps, can you zoom in/out using the hand rotary controller?

Hi my BMW F40 didn't come with the CarPlay module. Can i install this myself? BMW is asking 1000 euros for this? Sounds crazy

Nice informative video, thank you. Just one thing i wish to say, you mentioned probably 10 times that you can use the touch screen or use the rotary system. I suppose 1-2 times would be enough 😅

:) fair enough

I recently bought an 2020 X3M40 with idrive v.6 and the set up was very similar and it works fine. My only gripe so far is MOST of my favorite APPS are not appearing on the car navi screen. What gives?!?! Is BMW restricting what apps I can use with their version of Carplay? I have another car with an aftermarket screen using Android software and I have wired carplay and Andoid Auto. Both allow me to use all my Apps on the touch screen. Specifically, I need to use my KZread App on my X3 system since this is where i listen most of my music mixes, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated...thx.

Yes, I think that's the case. Nico mentioned in the review that if you use CarPlay, you won't have access to all BMW Apps

Thanks!

I have a 2019 330i (G20) and it’s supposed to come standard with CarPlay but I can’t connect to it. Legit nothing shows CarPlay anywhere it just connects to Bluetooth. Anything I can do? I know people who have same model year as me and their CarPlay works fine.

Thanks for the video. well done. A recurring problem I have with Apple Car Play in my BMW X3 2021: Waze doesn't know where I am 50% of the time (shows I am at the last parking location while I am driving; restarting the phone usually corrects this but that's pretty inconvenient) Other times it appears Waze logs me out as a result of using Apple Car Play. Also Waze interferes with the audio of the BMW radio (I need to reselect the FM/satellite, etc which is lost upon using Car Play)

That's interesting. Need to test Waze a bit more. Does it happen only when connected with CarPlay?

I hope you can get back to me on this issue I’m having man. I have a 2020 330i and for some reason I don’t get a Apple CarPlay option. I’ve reset the Idrive system to factory settings. I’ve connected through Bluetooth and the CarPlay option on my iPhone and I just don’t get the Apple CarPlay to work. It pairs via Bluetooth but never gives me a CarPlay option

@@bmwblog it was until I tried to install it… and then found out that I have to subscribe to use it as this program that came with the new car have expired. I never really used that when it came with the car as I find that it didn’t work really well and the other features I never used

You forgot to mention that once CarPlay is on you cannot use the COM features from the iDrive such as pressing the voice button on the steering wheel and making a call from your contact list. To regain iDrive COM functionalities you must switch the connection mode back to BMW iDrive …
