So you need a (Samsung) Android for the digital key but an iPhone for wireless Carplay.
Classic seamless integration... |

NFC is much more secure than Bluetooth, that's why they are using it.
Tesla obviously doesn't care about how secure data transfer is, making it much easier to intercept the signal and steal or rob the car. |

But iPhones use a NFC sim card. Not actual NFC from the device.

Finally something that starts off Android before Apple. Which makes sense since there's way more Androids in the world than Apple. another thing the Galaxy smartphone does that other ones do not is my phone can simulate and magnetic card swipe. That means my phone can work as a digital credit card on a 30 year-old card machine.

If it doesn't work for the vast majority of your customers -- especially if some of those same customers likely chose a BMW partially because it plays well with a specific mobile OS (iOS) those customers prefer -- don't release it.

Android Auto isn't in BMW's because BMW doesn't want to share info with Google over a platform they feel isn't secure. Same as Porsche. You're applauding Porsche and chastising BMW for the exact same thing. That's hypocritical. The "cross platform compatibility crap" where the Digital Key works with Android and not iPhones is because of Apple, not BMW. BMW would certainly prefer it worked on iPhones, and worked with all Androids, but the cell manufacturers and service providers have to allow the feature in their phone software. Nothing BMW can do about that, except make the cars open with Bluetooth like Tesla, which again isn't a secure way of doing things, and as such, they're not doing it. It's crazy to me that every time BMW comes out with something, instead of being pleased with what it DOES do, all some of you do is complain about what it DOESN'T do, even if that has nothing whatsoever to do with BMW. You'd rather they just didn't come out with ANYTHING new then? Because that's the alternative. |
