If you do have a 2019 or later and just haven't updated your profile, you would just use Apple CarPlay, but there is no mirroring. |

My experience with Apple Car Play is that it only offers a limited certain number of apps on the car whereas mirroring would simply show anything and everything that is on your phone, just like it does if you use it via Apple TV to mirror whatever is on any and all screens on your phone or iPad, onto the TV screen.

Personally I feel CarPlay does a good job of keeping overly distracting apps off the screen by limiting the CarPlay compatibility so I'd prefer that any day. But that's just what works for me/I feel safer with. Plus I never miss any of my standard apps that aren't CarPlay compatible. I can see the appeal though even if my preferences are different.

Occasionally Waze but it has such poor integration into the iDrive 7 platform that I actually prefer the onboard navigation. If it was missing, definitely wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me

- Connect your phone to bluetooth as a new phone. - In the setting on idrive for that phone, select allow wifi connections. - in idrive, go to screen mirroring option. it will prompt you to connect a device. - on your phone, select miracast, screen mirroring or smart view if its a samsung. - it will search for compatible displays, from there select the bmw miracast. by then it should be mirroring to the idrive screen. After that, you can simply go to screen mirroring, devices and click on your phone name to connect from idrive. hope that helps. Maher. |

After connecting to the car wifi, go into your wifi settings on your phone and enable an option called "allow data connections to improve internet speed if wifi connection is weak" or something of that sort. It just bypasses the car wifi altogether and uses your data for browsing. |

You are in the USA. In Canada we have some of the highest internet and cell plan rates in the world.
