I have a bmw series 2 coupe and it doesn't make me put the Google Maps navigator in the driver's display, do you have to dictate something or is it just for some models? I'm told “drive to the destination via active Apple car play” but it doesn't show it to me
So you have to have it on MV to begin with to get it there… The thing that changes is that Apple Maps in Apple CarPlay will now show up in the estimate cluster, and if you have a android, the android will show Google maps since that’s its primary system… Third-party ones don’t show in the map display as of yet
My connection is hit or mis sometimes it just won’t connect. Is there some workaround when that happens? The Apple car play menu is just a black screen
@@BMWofFW thank you. Also is it possible to check the engine oil temperature, G forces and power/torque on idrive 8 like I can check on the idrive 7 of my 3 series? Is there still a menu for that?
nope! similar to if you have the normal map running, once it's up and running you can change your center control display to whatever you want while keeping the Map in front of you!
The CarPlay integration with instrument cluster is just brilliant. Could be bigger but still a very unique feature for today!

Are you running latest software of both car and phone?
Yes, I did a hard reset and now it works
Hello, does the waze maps also show up in the intrusment cluster like the apple/google maps?
Waze does not at this point, only Apple Maps for iPhone and Google Maps for Android Devices.

@2:07 does the gauge cluster lose this feature if you are in a different app on the right side cluster?
nope! similar to if you have the normal map running, once it's up and running you can change your center control display to whatever you want while keeping the Map in front of you!
Does the instrument cluster/HUD integration with car play work with the new BMW X7 2023?
YUPPPP!
I freaking hate idrive7, I love the Apple CarPlay in the middle. I feel like idrive7 so useless
try ID8! bigger apple car play as well as map integration of apple maps in the instrument cluster
