Great video! I have a 2018 X5 and connected my phone to my vehicle. ApplePlay is like screen mirroring I presume. Let’s hope I can set it up as this would be awesome!
Car Play in my U.K. 2018 BMW 440i Coupe stopped working other than very infrequently after iOS 13. BMW say they’re looking int the issue but have been for ages and I still don’t have a resolution. It’s annoying as the Cyclops speed camera app doesn’t work as well unless connected via Car Play (verbal warnings via car’s speakers are much less clear).
Can I use Waze on Apple Car Play and simultaneously use Bluetooth Audio to listen to my music? Because in that case, I can see my Music on the entertainment details split screen.
I have a new 2018 440i and iPhone 6S - I would say that after some initial resets and reloads the CarPlay now seems to function 100% as it should but I do have a few questions. It appears that CarPlay works by hijacking your iPhone and creating a wifi hotspot and then setting aside bluetooth altogether. That apparently gives it the HS link it wants to pass data more quickly than BT. But I don't seem to have access to the internet through my phone even though I have full bars on cell. So when I say "highjack" I mean that my iPhone can't open Safari and look at the internet - is that how it's supposed to work? And if I'm sitting at my home where I have wifi and try to connect to that wifi while my car is running and CarPlay is "in charge" of my phone, I cannot connect and use wifi. Is that how it's supposed to work? And do others with iPhones in the car have the ability to connect to the hotspot wifi and use it as well sharing my cell connection? how do I get a password so they can connect - as I didn't create the hotspot I don't really know what the password is anyway. And I don't seem to be able to upload my contacts to the regular BMW drive so there is no practical way to use the BMW Communications feature with uploaded contacts. Thank you for this overview video.
Nice video! One question though, I am currently looking for used BMW's from 2016 and onward, which cars do have Apple Carplay installed? Does all the ones with the big screen and iDrive 5 and above have it or is it specific models/year/separate package?
if it has the driver then yes... depends on model for that to be added but as a general rule if it's 2020 or newer and still has idrive 6 then yes you can code full screen carplay.
What happens if there are multiple devices available for CarPlay connection over wi-fi. Is there an option to select which device to connect from the BMW system?
can we use all feature from carplay without touch screen (just using touch idrive controller)? i think use touch screen while driving is very distracting
Visit this website theres a section called Apple Car Play Compatibility there you can solve this, thanks! connecteddrive.bmwusa.com/app/index.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8raB4vvK6wIVJv_jBx0yeQTyEAAYASAAEgJzsfD_BwE#/portal/store
Just bought AppleCarplay from MyBMW for my M4 Competition. I’ve got iPhone11ProMax and it’s normally connected to my personal mifi-hotspot. Issue I’m getting is every time I’m connected to my mifi it disconnects from BMW’s AppleCarPlay. And when I’m connected to Applecarplay it forces disconnection from mifi, then it complains I don’t have data / network enabled. So does that mean I can’t use BMW AppleCarPlay when my iPhone is connected to mifi hotspot? (Before anyone asks, just assume I don’t have data bundle for my iPhone contract!) Thanks in advance.
@@BMWofFW turned off hot-spot. I could connect to my BMW Apple Play via Bluetooth, however as soon as I connected to my Wifi Dongle on the iphone it auto-disconnected the bluetooth Apple Play as well :(
@@BMWofFW Thank you for your quick response. I had a late 2017 car, sadly had to give it back to the dealer as it was in poor mechanical condition, but I could not see apple car play on this system . Was it something I had to purchase and if yes, how please thank you
Does ANYONE know or can help me. My BMW dealer (SunMotors) in Carlisle, Pa has very poor service. I have a 2018 bmw 4 series 440i grand coupe xdrive. I renewed my connected drive but it is not showing in my car. How do I download it to my car ?
HI I just bought Apple car play and BMW connected + trial add on from bmw connected drive store as my car is compatible with it., but as soon as I bought it my bmwconnected drive store apps disappeared and ask me to buy subscription. Everything that was on it disappeared. Email says they will get in touch with the activation email., so I guess it will re apper once these 2 thing activated. But cant be sure. Any help?
only in iDrive7 and certain ID6 models made after july of 2019 can have full screen carplay coded in. you can also get full screen carplay coded from alternative sources but those would cost money since it basically tricks the car into thinking it's a newer model.
depending on the year... you may need to pay a one time $300 fee to activate it... for a while it was a subscription based service before people complained and said how extremely stupid that was...
you would see Apple Carplay on your window sticker... other way to see if you have it is go to Communications, Add new device, and under bluetooth you will see Apple CarPlay as well. If all else fails, go to the connected drive store in your myBMW app and activate Apple CarPlay from there. it's a one time fee of $300, since back in '17 CarPlay used to be a subscription service.
@@BMWofFW Auto Lenders doesn't display all the features. but i confirmed my 2017 340 does have apple car play already on it. connected drive store? i didn't know there was a store inside the infotainment. im coming from 2015 335. i wanted a 2017 for the apple car play alone. i was tired of phone mounts and the horrible idrive navigation that I've never used lol . I've tried a lot of versions of apple car play and this is by far one of the best verisons currently period. and its wireless and it supports spotify and other apps and how apple music works im playing / browsing music i don't even have downloaded on my iPhone. its fire. and very mush needed.
cbincbnc yes but it’s an extra. I don’t like the fact that it only has apple maps. Also you can play your music just via normal Bluetooth without car play. Not sure it’s really worth the extra money.
Hi, I’m a bit confused. For my X-7 I have CarPlay Set up through Bluetooth, but it always disconnects as I drive or when I turn my vehicle off then on again. Do I just use the WiFi and keep the Bluetooth off?
yeah... for those who had it as a subscription in the US it's a $330 one time fee to activate it for compatible cars. a little ridiculous to charge that for such an expensive high end car IMHO. at least it's standard now in all cars.
That's only if you got a car that had it under the previous subscription service that BMW originally offered it under (which was an utter failure, ergo why they instead turned it to a $300 one time activation fee for those that were originally under the "free for the first 3 years, aka Lease length" option. But again, because that option put the non lease owners in a bad place BMW rescinded that program for a one time fee instead after that 3 year free sub was over.
that red triangle in the middle of the dash transports me straight to the 80's. Great design BMW :-)
Thanks for a great overview! Very clear and helpful.
Instablaster.
Thnx buddy...this vid def helped me setting up my car play on my Bmw!!! 👍👍
Tyler the mvp
brilliant video pal thanks getting my new car sat
Thanks going to install apple car play in BMW tomorrow!
Is there a way to toggle in and out of split screen mode with CarPlay so that more of the CarPlay screen is visible?
Not for this year Idrive. It went full screen in 2020
Great playlist.
Great overview. Thank you. Is the car a 2018 BMW 4-series?
Great video! I have a 2018 X5 and connected my phone to my vehicle. ApplePlay is like screen mirroring I presume. Let’s hope I can set it up as this would be awesome!

Do you know if X4 has touchscreen display?
Can I use Waze on Apple Car Play and simultaneously use Bluetooth Audio to listen to my music? Because in that case, I can see my Music on the entertainment details split screen.

if it has the driver then yes... depends on model for that to be added but as a general rule if it's 2020 or newer and still has idrive 6 then yes you can code full screen carplay.
@@BMWofFW So for a 2019 430i, the dealer would not code?
What happens if there are multiple devices available for CarPlay connection over wi-fi. Is there an option to select which device to connect from the BMW system?
Would it be possible to use only USB cable to listen music, while using CarPlay?
can we use all feature from carplay without touch screen (just using touch idrive controller)? i think use touch screen while driving is very distracting
Yes.
Does the 2018 1 series (with digital dash) have this?
Do you know of 2014 bmw 328iA Sportline have Apple car play?

check and see if you have your mobile hot spot on, if you're using that and past the trial it will tell you exactly that.
@@BMWofFW turned off hot-spot. I could connect to my BMW Apple Play via Bluetooth, however as soon as I connected to my Wifi Dongle on the iphone it auto-disconnected the bluetooth Apple Play as well :(
Which idrive system has Apple car play installed. From which year
Most cars it’s from 2017 on in select models, but iDrive6 and newer is CarPlay ready from the factory

Hi. Thanks for the overview. Can you see emails on CarPlay?
Does apple carplay work with the heads up display as far as navigation?
They work seperately and and spontaneously
This would be a great feature to be added if anyone from BMW is watching this youtube thread
What is the car year model pls ?
2015 m4 have or not ?
Does this work in bmw 320 GT 2016?
Why doesn't Car Play remain connected? It will connect and then disappear after three or four stop and restarts of the car.

keep us updated should take a few days if it does not appear push the sos button and someone will be able to make sure it gets put into your vehicle.
try to clean the infotainment screen before the video, I can see every dust particle there is loud and clear
Can you go full screen with Apple Carplay?
only in iDrive7 and certain ID6 models made after july of 2019 can have full screen carplay coded in. you can also get full screen carplay coded from alternative sources but those would cost money since it basically tricks the car into thinking it's a newer model.
Is it available on BMW X1 2016 models?
You need to buy to have it. It's $300. Call your dealer and they will help you to get it.
See you had HONDA there on your phone also??
I have similar/better model but my car play options isnt there what could be the problem
depending on the year... you may need to pay a one time $300 fee to activate it... for a while it was a subscription based service before people complained and said how extremely stupid that was...
Which years came with CarPlay?
Started 2018 as Subscription, Standard on 2020 and newer in all BMWs
Can a 2014 bmw m5 have this feature
How do I know if my 2017 has Apple car play from a glance? Like on paper ?

Toronto Geek what did you ever find about the x1?
cbincbnc yes but it’s an extra. I don’t like the fact that it only has apple maps. Also you can play your music just via normal Bluetooth without car play. Not sure it’s really worth the extra money.

To have this option in the UK, you have to pay £265 💰 what robbery from BMW.
yeah... for those who had it as a subscription in the US it's a $330 one time fee to activate it for compatible cars. a little ridiculous to charge that for such an expensive high end car IMHO. at least it's standard now in all cars.
