Thumbs up Android Auto available for 2020 F95 X5M

I took my 2020 X5M to the dealer today for the 1200 mile break-in service. I asked if Android Auto was available with a software update (the 2021 X5M comes with Android Auto standard) and to my surprise, it was. I'm not really sure what it can do, I'm still playing around with it.

It might be possible to get Android Auto via an OTA update, not sure though.

I didn't use the Android Auto/Google NAV yet, but I'm pretty sure the nav directions are supposed to appear in the HUD.

EDIT: Yes, the Android Auto/Google Maps navigation directions appear in the HUD.

The map didn't show up in the HUD, only the directions.

Simply no I had a 19 before the 21 and didn't have AA.. You can always test it at the dealer.

I have a 2020 X5MC and the Android Auto is wireless.

Did they charge you? Most dealers I hear are charging people for the update unless you have a software issue. At least what I have read on here

No, I brought my X5MC in for the 1200 mile break-in service, and asked them to do the Android Auto software update.
