At 5:57 Dylan is talking about CarPlay MMI Prime Retrofit. Original Apple CarPlay for BMW is wireless only and will not work by plugging in your phone.
carplay not showing up in the bmw settings even applecar have been allowed on apple screen time content & privacy restrictions. all my friend could see in the bmw settings is bluetooth, not wifi or carplay BMW 318 2021
For some reason it worked before but for some reason it just shows my iPhone “user’s iPhone” but not Apple play. So audio works but I can’t use maps or do anything on the screen
Sir, my apple carplay works for my 2022 430i but all of a sudden Waze will not work or display, yet it works for me in my wifes BMW. Ive tried everything@@bimmer-tech
I was able to pair. The Bluetooth connection displayed as connected for a couple of seconds and then it showed as disconnected. Phone had been restarted a few times and issue remained. Any advice? FYI it was working with CarPlay perfectly few days ago and all of a sudden it stopped working.
i have the same exact issue, it was working fine and all the sudden i couldn't connect via carplay mode. Bluetooth on my iphone shows it's connected, but BWM shows connection failed in a few seconds and it happened since 2 days ago
This might be a weird question but here goes. My 2022 BMW X1 only supports Apple CarPlay. I own an Android phone. I see two options: Pay about $800 USD for a new iPhone or pay about $1000 for a Bimmer Tech MMI box and necessary cables. The iPhone seems reasonable (as long as it connects) as I wouldn't have to tear open my BMW to install the more expensive MMI box. I do like Android Auto and the other features of the MMI box. What's your recommendation?
I just noticed my CarPlay wouldn’t connect anymore last night, BMW iDrive connects via Bluetooth but if I try to select the “Connect via Apple CarPlay” instead of “Connect via BMW iDrive” it just doesn’t connect, it’ll even DISCONNECT entirely. I will try updating my iOS tonight when I get off work
*ahem* turn off engine and hold the Volume/power button for 30 seconds. Upon restarting the car, my iPhone asked if I wanted to connect and it’s working again :)
I have a 2018 x5 f15 and the sat radio, car play and the navigation all quit working. I have tried all the steps several times and nothing has changed.
@@bimmer-tech thanks took it to the dealer and they said the hdd failed in the head unit and want $3000 to replace it. I am waiting to hear from BMW North America because it only has 40k miles on it. If they won’t cover it I know a guy who has been working on them for 30 years he said he could put a used one in and program it to the car for $400.
Hi i’m having issues with my carplay, i have carplay but there’s a split screen issue, the split screen keeps showing during the apple carplay feature and it’s irritating. i’ve turned off split screen and it just won’t go away. pls help

It looks like you don't subscribe for Apple CarPlay. 2020+ G20 Apple CarPlay access is subscription-based.
Do you have tips for XM satellite radio
Hi Michelle! Your XM radio doesn't work?

There's probably some software issue, so maybe the update would do the work for you :)

Again, seems like software issue. The best way for you is to visit your BMW dealer.

Maybe Siri turned off?

Can't you just activate Android Auto?

My iDrive won’t activate the wifi 😭

great to know you fixed the issue! Cheers!
@@Heavenly_Heali lovd you it fixed my issue
It only messes up when I’m in a specific part of town.
Do you have any idea why i can‘t activate wifi in the car?
Maybe it's not compatible with your car :)
Problem solved. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Cheers!
+👍 for following these steps to get it to work.

Hi, you should change that from your Apple device :)
@@bimmer-tech how ?
My Google maps works BUT it goes mute whenever I am using the phone. Any suggestions?
Check the "Driving Focus" option in your Carplay. If it is enabled, you will not be able to hear anything from your navigation app.
It was working one day and the next it wasn’t 😢
You mean the OEM Carplay?
Hold the power button to reset don’t worry won’t mess up any settings
Everything works except when I play RUclips on CarPlay watching a video there is no sound…. Please help
