A great tutorial. Thank you for that. I have a BMW I5. When using Apple car Play and Apple Maps wil it also indicatie when to charge (during a long journey)? And does it show charging stations and pre condition the battery when a charging station is chosen? As BMW maps does.
@@hs6745 SO the car DOES talk to Apple CarPlay, once charge gets low enough it will tell Apple CarPlay which will prompt you to find a charger nearby, same as if you were using gas only. The only thing that keeps CarPlay down on BMW’s own internal is charge planning on a long distance drive, BMW will take care of that for you where Apple CarPlay just simply says your’e low on charge and finds the closest charger. Other thing APple CarPlay doesn’t do is trigger the preconditioning for DC fast charging if you choose a DC charger in CarPlay. Supposedly that will all change when Apple CarPlay 2.0 comes out but no word on how/if BMW will implement that or allowed for some of those features to work with BMW systems as they exist now.
@@Uptownv on 99% of the time…I’d agree… my only gripe is the lack of CAR controls in CarPlay (remedied in the upcoming CarPlay 2.0) and lack of automatic preconditioning for DC charging when navigating to a DC charger in the electric cars. Oh and pinch to zoom in Apple Maps… the manual tapping the + and - button is just annoying…
Question: I have an X50e and with the automatic lane change assist, is there a way to make the change not so jarring and fast. It moves over like a crazy person would switch lanes lol...Can i smooth it out or no?
@@stefanocavagnolo4788 So the 4k front facing camera based AR only works with BMWs own navigation… however Apple has introduced and BMW supports a 3D intersection view that works separately from the AR option…
Hi. I had the same question for my local dealer (Slovakia, Europe Union) and the answer was “no”. Because second LCI gets new Hardware and the 8.5 works on android “background”. 8.0 works on own bmw system. But of course the dealer could be wrong.
@@alvarojimenez4106 Anndy8333 is right, the hardware is diffferent between the models that makes it so it can’t run it.. one correction is that idrive 8 and 8.5 are both Linux based systems.. only idrive 9 is an Android Automotive system in the background.
My apple carplay does not connect one out of every 3 to 4 times i get in the car. Sometimes when i click media it just shows me a blank home background. My car is the 2023 g20 330i LCI
That's an apple problem i guess. I have 2019 3 series and most of the time carplay connects but i can't use steering controls than i have to disconnect and reconnect carplay from settings.
We have a 2024 iX and I thought I understood Apple CarPlay. Your tutorial has now greatly confused me. I’m clearly in the minority here but I did not get anything useful from this tutorial. I’ve seen numerous previous videos of yours and always found them helpful, but not this one.
@@BMWofFW Thank you for your courteous reply. I will admit that I did learn something from your video, your very first point…that it can be TELEPHONE & AUDIO OR MODE only. What I would have liked to know more about is WHY would someone want one or the other? I don’t use Apple Maps (I prefer the BMW Nav as I’m used to it, I can easily toggle the Voice Guidance on or off, and I can route plan with Charging so the battery is pre-conditioned) but I do listen to music exclusively in our car from Apple Music or from my library. When a text message arrives I’m alerted on the screen and with an audible cue, and I can tap the alert banner to hear Siri read my message and ask if I want to reply. Based on those aspects I’d say I’m connected to MODE, but I’m not sure. We always tried to click ALL THREE BOXES and always managed to get to the mode I just described. I would have preferred a more in depth explanation of those options and the advantages/disadvantages to both. In general, I found this video to be a bit disorganized and I felt confused after. I just had my wife watch your video and she LOVED it as she uses CarPlay in our Volvo C40 all the time, especially for Nav, so, like I said, I’m clearly in the minority here. Short of a more in depth explanation I’ll have to write this off as MY problem, not yours. Again, I thank you for taking the time to reply. I’m subscribed so I get all of your videos. All the best, Bob
This was a great tutorial. I have been using CarPlay in my i4 for a couple of years and learned quite a bit.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video....Appreciate it.

Apple CarPlay maps definitely looks cleaner and more intuitive that the native BMW navigation map.

I have a 2024 m3 competition. How do you make m1/m2 buttons automatically change the gauge cluster to sport mode?
I am getting a 2024 x5. Will I still have the functionality to have Apple CarPlay Map routes display in the cockpit dash behind the wheel?
@@otreal you’ll get more! More functionality

@@pete64041 sadly no… it’s a predetermined speed based on surroundings…
@@BMWofFW Good to know, it does it safely, just a lot faster than i would switch lanes...
Thanks very much ! Great help !
Very helpful
very helpful Thanks!
Does anybody know if Augmented Reality instructions are working in the cockpit with apple / google maps navigation? Thx

Question I just got 330i 2024 running OS 8.0 do you know if will be updating to get 8.5 in the 3 series. Thanks

@@EhsaanShaikh-z6p it happens to me too. Did you not figure out the problem? And how are you sure it’s an problem from Apple’s end not BMW’s

Why is my apple carplay using up my WiFi plan? Is it supposed to do this?
@@ViaBuenCorazonyou’re doing too much man. I don’t think you have valid argument. Just yapping
Absolutely confusing
