Thanks for the video.
Can you show us the new Apple Music interface with the album art? And does it show the album art in the dashboard when music is playing? With iDrive 7, there is no more split screen function with CarPlay navigation and media info (only on the instrument panel). Wonder with iOS 13 CarPlay if I can get navigation map and media info/album art displayed at the same time. |

In fairness, I believe this to be a vehicle firmware issue, since my current phone worked flawlessly with my F15 X5.

I "think" the G05 platform is the first to use wireless Carplay...yes? no? BMW is getting into the wireless territory which is flaky at best no matter who and where its used. I don't meant to be old school, but you just can't beat the ease and reliability of wires :-) They'll get it worked out at some point but there's so much going on in the car between wireless charging, bluetooth and WiFi and I wonder how robust their interference testing was.

And BMW got it right the first time - it just works. It connects every single time, and never disconnects! That's why it is mind boggling to me that they could not get it to work reliably with iDrive 7. |

But to be blunt, BMW really has not done a great job of ensuring the robustness of the features they sell us. Bluetooth connectivity being a prime example.

I'm really looking forward to this. It's great that Apple provides these updates free of charge.
BMW - explain to me again why we have to pay you a subscription to use Apple CarPlay? Seriously. What are you doing on an ongoing basis that merits the collection of an annual fee for Apple CarPlay? I'm all ears. |

Pathetic apple car play integration. The worst of any car manufacturers.

My XR is running 12.3.1, and working fine. I used CarPlay in other cars, but don't find the need with this X5. Nav works great, downloaded iTunes to hard drive.....don't miss CarPlay.

What version of iDrive are you running? In the later versions the ability to call Siri with a long press of the Microphone button when not using CarPlay was taken away, looking to see if anyone has found another way to do it. I'm going to be updated this week and was hoping for a workaround so I didn't have to run CarPlay.

Most of the issues are user errors. Car works as designed. If followed the proper set up it works like a charm
My Dos computer used to be simple too and email worked all the time and had no viruses. Win10 is hanging up, email is slow, viruses and adds are everywhere. But it is running 100 times the tasks and is connected to many more networks. and If set up right - it flies. So take time to set it up properly - read the manual ( I mean the Bible - I mean the forum |

And by the way, if most people, including BMW CSRs and dealer staff, cannot "properly" configure a system to work, then that's a bug as well even if "as designed" — that's actually a worse kind of bug, one that is a software/system design defect, rather than just an implementation defect. UX matters. iDrive 7 is chock full of these.

I suspect before the year is up someone will have worked out which module to code the CarPlay subscription to avoid paying for it. This is what has happened on previous models.

HOW did you download iTunes to hard drive?

I don’t want to even start with CarPlay because I have no intention of paying $300 for it after the one year trial. I keep my phone plugged into an adapter on the cig lighter, but at first I was using the USB and nothing transferred to my phone. My contacts never uploaded either. I’d love some help on this. |
