When you say the magic word and your car responds with the action you wanted, how far reaching does the query go? Does it stay local within your car? Does is go to some server somewhere in the country like Alexa, Siri, etc does?

I understand that.. but then I assume you mean if *anyone* pulls it while driving. I thought maybe there was some crazy magic that allowed them to determine someone other than the driver pulled it.

There's an option in the menus somewhere that either enables or disable server processing. If you enable server processing, it allows you to say more complicated commands.

So if you disable server processing, then the local processing goes to your cars hard drive, right? I would imagine the local processing gets a tiny bit smarter with each iDrive update (hopefully). My thinking then is that local processing should be adequate to control the features that come with the car. If you ask it questions that need an outside server to answer and you have the outside server function turned off, do you happen to know what sort of response the car gives you? |

for the parking brake? no. it'll behave that way for anyone who pulls it. But all of the rest of the seats have sensors and act accordingly based on if someone's sitting in it or not. For instance, climate rules only apply in the passenger seat if someone's sitting there. I just found that out.

I am not able to gather the courage to pull the parking brake button while driving.
Are you saying that - say you are at 50mph and on lane 3 and you pull the parking brake while driving, the car will change lanes? and come to shoulder and then park? If so.. wow. Do you have to be in cruise/steering assist/drive assist active mode for this to do that? |

There were a few threads about this when it stopped working. It's very frustrating. I used that all the time to have Siri read texts aloud. Now I have to hope the phone will hear Hey Siri. |

That is the only reason why I use apple CarPlay to be able to read text messages. I navigate with Idrive. Selecting a contact with Idrive is much easier with the idrive controller or touchpad. Touch pad isn't active for CarPlay. But I don't make many calls in my car anyway. And you also lose navigating to your contacts in idrive. So I made favorites for my frequent destinations. Listening to music is easier with Idrive but doable with CarPlay. Selecting playlists is easier in idrive. CarPlay looks nicer. |

I noticed it when my friend got into the passenger seat and the seat ventilation (which was previously on) kicked on, but only after he buckled his seat belt. So BMW will only give you comfort as long as you're maintaining best practices lol

Good luck with the wait. It's worth it. Big difference between f15 and g05 and even bigger with a 330e I presume. |

Anyone know how to turn off the passenger mirror from folding down in reverse?
