Apple Carplay
Bought a new roadster 2 weeks ago and on day one apple carplay worked immediately.
Now 2 weeks in, not even a sight of the app. Any idea? Is ita payment subscription thing? |

It is not a subscription. Either comes as a factory option or could be enabled (if supported by the vehicle - VIN check available) by paying €300,- (once) through the BMW Connected web site.
Question: do you feel it is worth my €300,-? And why? |

cheers chaps, it definitely has it since it was working on day 1.
it's just that i cannot get it to work again. I emailed bmw UK. My other gripe is that the mobile phone holder in glove box stops 1cm short of my iphone 6s plus... grrrr can these things be replaced for bigger ones (the phone holder, not the iphone). |

If you have it, Car Play will be listed. If so, follow guidance on how to pair phone to car and activate car play. As others have said though, it not really that good and I never use it. |

ericsi not sure if my issue is the same as yours- maybe once a week I lose CarPlay. To fix I go into manage mobile devices, select my phone, and re-select Apple CarPlay.

cheers guys. Did my head in but i finally managed to get it to work:
I upgraded ios from 13.2 to 13.4. Also serviced the car software per bmw online services advice. Waited 24h as they requested. Once i last tried pairing it, i paired it for apple carplay as opposed to linked phone. And then i finally got carplay back (which once again i had on day 1). A really strange one this. If it drops and it takes me another 3 days to sort out, i won't be very pleased... |

So guys a quick update: it’s still a bit cr@p: carplay connects everytime but you cannot seem to have bluetooth AND carplay at one time.
Ie i like carplay for nav, music etc, but for phone i would prefer to use normal connection via bluetooth. Can’t seem to be able to do it. My wife 3 year old VW does all this without a fuss... |
